Wow @ these stories. I went to my local store at 1:45pm and to my surprise they had everything in stock and there were at least 25 customers in there. They must have gotten a lot of each item. I was able to get Love Goddess for my nieces. I'm going to tell them they were sold out and add it to their christmas gifts

Hey Ladies,
Not new to the site(professional lurker), but this is my first post!
I had to work this am, and the only things i wanted was Love Goddess and Deeply Adored. So last nite, i made the hubby homemade chicken stew and homemeade corn bread and first thing he asks"what do you want?'..lol..so i convinced him to go to Macys at 10 am,(and not a second later), because the lippies would be sold out when i got off.my sweetheart was there at 930!! and there was a line!! so while the ladies where swatching he went right to a MA and showed her my text and was able to get my two lippies. He then promptly bragged about it on facebook and posted pics on Instagram, and all his friends made fun of it!! lol..another cute storie to tell the kids one day..anyway, i guess i can stop lurking now!! hey Ladies!!
that is so awesome. My husband actually called in sick yesterday cus it was late arrival day at the schools and I had mentioned that sometimes the collections are put out a day early. He figured he would make sure the kids were dressed and off to school while I was off to mall but I decided to stay home. I actually had everything from this collection except the np and pure zen thanks to being awake super early for making his breakfast on update days. I figured I didn't need back ups of anything enough to go out instead of spending the kid free day with him. He is such a sweetheart. Anyway I got a bu of the bp thanks to raves for it on this thread and I picked up a pure zen and np today for completions sake. Well the np isn't complete but really I don't need any np!

Finally got the BP, Love Goddess, and Deeply Adored

First I went to a Nordstrom counter, there was one girlie in front of me getting about 2 of everything (half of it was for her sister) I got a BP, Deeply Adored for myself, and a Love Goddess for my mom, decided I needed to get one for myself as well and asked if she could make that 2 Love Goddesses, but they had only gotten 3 so between the two of us it had already sold out! While I was paying people were calling and placing orders over the phone as well. So I ended up heading to the MAC freestanding store (which luckily opens an hour later) to pick up my LG. There was already a line when I got there and people were buying a ton but luckily they had a couple drawers of stuff so I managed to get what I needed :) People were looking at me like I was crazy for only picking up one lipstick though

I had to explain that I had already been to Nordstrom's and they'd sold out already. Love Goddess is really pretty, I actually like it more than I expected, although Deeply Adored may be my favorite l/s from this collection (I'm just getting into the vampy reds though, so it's unlike anything I own, aside from maybe Rocker). The BP is gorgeous as well, so soft and blends in with my skintone perfectly.

I am so envious you got the whole enchilada, would it be possible to get pictures?  Did you stalk and no sleep for a week?
I am surprised that I was able to get most of the items but two... I will post pictures when my box arrives. It's still out for delivery because UPS never like showing up at my house early. My BFF also got me all the lipsticks this morning as a gift so I have backups. She told me that they held them for her. I kinda cried because I thought it was very sweet that she got up super early and did that for me. I stalked the websites with barely any sleep and I was on Bloomingdales and Macy's.com when they launched the collection there so I got stuff from Macy's and stuff from Bloomies. I'm exhausted lol cause I thought I would have definitely missed out.

Phew, finally got caught up on this thread! Shontay, I'm sorry about the ordeal you had to go through. Good luck on your test love. :bouquet: Elegant, damn chica looking good ;) and I hope your Mom has a speedy recovery. I love hearing everyones stories! I hope you all get what you want. :heart: I was a little bummed for missing out on lg and si. But realized I don't really need them. The bp is another story. But I have a question about the bp. I use nc15 in msfn sometimes, but wear mufe foundation. I'm the lightest shade with yellow undertones. So will FM have the hg status on me? I have redness in my face (very sensitive skin) but I'm pretty yellow toned.

Visited the Macy's counter and the employees pulled a droit de seigneur on the customers. They bought all of DA, SI, and one of the powders before we even had the chance to purchase! A :finger: upon this situation!

Here in France some products are sold out, on the whole it's a pretty collection. I already tried Love Goddess and Deeply Adored, love them both. I was told ( yesterday ) that the Beauty Powder could be used as a concealer too, I'll try this !

My favorite lipstick is actually Charmed I'm Sure but I think it is not that unique. I was surprised to like Scarlet Ibis. I should have known the speckras would know what looked good. Because all the others were good on me the husband said I could get Pure Zen and I am surprised it looks nice as well. It goes on something horrid tho... really milky and pasty then it kinda morphs into this awesomesauce shimmery pinky nude color

I am so glad it is permanent although honestly I don't think the husband is going to care for it much. He really only likes reds and I was surprised he okayed LG and SI.

HI everyone. i passed by the mall picking up my stuff after i was released from the hospital. i got there at 10:45 . all the lippies where sold out except from pure zen and 1 scarlet ibis. i ended up with what i had on hold: 3love goddess, 2deeply adored, 1 of each blush and 1 bp. plus 2pure zen and the one scarlet ibis they had left (the hype got to me) plus the mini face and body in c3 which suits me now and a c2 fotr later and a select sheer press powder.

my aunt went to her nordstrom counter and got charmed im sure and pure zen, 2 shadows and all the lip liners. she was lucky cause those were the last 2 lippies and she didnt have anything on hold.

im inlove with love goddess its like a gel nail polish. sheer but opaque and glossy omg i love it. and pure zen its my perfect nude so i just got it with the marylin packaging. i love it.

Ebay should allow comments like amazon!! i would definitely write some WTF in there.

If anyone can order off of Belk, would you mind CPing me another BP? 99421694 is supposedly a code good for 15% off your entire order, but I've tried ordering from three different browsers and two different credit cards, with and without the coupon code, and when I try to put my CC info in, it says "There was a problem with information you entered. Please see the highlighted areas below which need your attention." But nothing is highlighted? Maybe a BU of the BP and I are not meant to be.....

I'm reading everyone's stories..WOW! I just read about Kokofemme's disasterous experience with this collection on FB. I'm glad that my store had an organized fair system that worked.
yup more stores need to be like the one you went to cause the store I went they just let everyone in and 10 mins layer everyone was arguing.

I am surprised. Maybe it is my area but nobody did presales and nobody even let you peek at the collections in advance. There were also no events locally cus believe me I asked the two nordies, 3 macys and the free standing store all repeatedly. I am sure there are more Macy's but I figured if I wasn't having any luck at a store I stop into once a week then I wasn't going to have luck at some shop I haven't been to before. I wrote about it earlier but the SA was literally combating tears and her hands were shaking as she handed me the lone BP they got because they were not allowed to purchase anything from the shop. She actually said I was super smart and lucky to have come in and that it wasn't fair. According to her the policy for Macy's was that they had to buy their stuff from free standing store. Maybe it was different there because you have no free standing store nearby?
