MAC for Marilyn

I saw a thread on MUA that said a MAC SA said that the Marilyn collection lipsticks were the same as the Viva Glam lipsticks just in different packaging. Does anyone have swatches to compare? I'm curious. TIA!

I have to say I totally disagree

This is a photo of KarlaSugar's swatches - all of the perm Viva Glam's and I don't think any are the same!

AARGH! I called Macy's to check on the status of my non-shipped items (Charmed I'm Sure, Love Goddess, and The Perfect Cheek), suddenly the message only mentioned one box (my BP which already shipped), so talked to a CS person and she said my order has been canceled.

Big fat surprise that Macy's screws the order up that had the product I wanted more than anything from this collection (LG).

So frustrated right now, and I have no clue what to do. On hold waiting to talk to a manager.

Completely random and unrelated to Marilyn, but I'm currently having a staring contest with a box of dark red hair dye. Should I just go for it? I really want red hair but I'm worried people I know will notice and think I look silly :( Opinions appreciated!
Go for it gracie90. You have a beautiful face that can pull-off the color. I say YOLO...just do it!

Macy's is really pathetic with this. They canceled my order, I spent quite a bit of time on the phone with a manager as they tried to sort it out, then was told they found them elsewhere and the order was reactivated. Called that store to confirm, and they didn't have anything, despite what I was just assured. They ought to be ashamed of themselves with how incompetently they are handling this. Such bad service.
I am not a fan of macys

Oh good - I'm so glad you got everything! I've been making a lot of phone orders from one counter in particular and I'm beginning to love the girls there albeit them being 2hrs away by train! They're so helpful and sweet, it's really nice to deal with!

I think I may get DA myself and even possibly CIS but I'm not 100% sure on CIS yet.
I haven't tried any of the products that I purchased other than the PB, and surprisingly it is lovely on my NC 44 complexion. I topped it with MAC's Mineralized Charge Water.
I'm wearing pink-themed makeup, etc for the entire month for BCA. By Nov 1st I'll be ready to dive into reds and everything else! I can't wait to wear DA especially.
I think you should treat yourself to both!!!

I bought the last Flaming Rose nail polish today. I wondered if it was the last Marilyn product left on the planet
girlhaha.gif
Its a really really pretty red.
My local store still had all the polishes in stock today, I was very surprised! I went in to B2M some empties and I snagged Vintage Vamp, they still had two leftover. They even had two of the eyeshadows but I didn't see which ones were still in stock. Everything else was wiped out. I didn't swatch Flaming Red but it looks gorgeous! I don't usually buy nail polish because it's not an everyday thing for me, but there was just something about RRR and VV that suckered me in!

The store was busy today but it seemed like people were just regularly in there. There was a model getting her makeup done a la Marilyn, but I don't think they were really doing much of a Marilyn event with the products for appointments. Nothing that seemed out of the ordinary for a Saturday, anyway.

The sweetest MA was helping me with my purchases and he recognized me from the boards here

I was spotted in the wild and without a lick of makeup on, too lol I wasn't expecting that in the slightest! He's in the Specktra shadows, but he needs a shoutout because I think he's an awesome MA and has great customer service! I've not had a single bad experience at this MAC store. Every person that's assisted me when I've visited the store has been so sweet and attentive, even with oodles of people rushing in and out the door! Today was no exception

with all the stories of the bad artists, I felt I should share an experience with a great artist! Even if I did blush a little when he asked if I was duckrodeo from Specktra, heeheee!

Okay ladies.

I'm sorry - I've taken the last orders! I cannot do anymore CP's!

In the past 36-48hrs I've taken orders for 11 of you wonderful women here on Specktra. The amount I've ordered is seeming to going to show up in roughly 7 different packages.

I can't handle anymore than that as most people have ordered quite a few items and it'll just be too much to handle unfortunately.

I hope everyone else manages to get the items they want somehow!

The only time I've ordered from them, they cancelled my order. I love Nordstrom!

I actually just got my Lovecloud and TPC on friday.. I really prefer them.I've never had a cancelled order or missing items.
Yeah i'm def sticking with Nordies from now on...I still can't believe Macy's sent me an empty MM lipstick box with no tube inside. I will say when I did call the customer service guy was super nice atleast.

I'm so glad you had an awesome experience! The ladies I've been dealing with over the phone the past 24hrs to place orders for CP's have been so kind and helpful, it really cheered me up dealing with awesome MA's and SA's!

Btw, I swear everytime I read your name I STILL see it differently. I read it as duck-er-ee-doo. No idea why. :|

Vintage Vamp is sexy beautiful. Lucky girl. I'm going to try out FR in the next day or 2. I was debating whether or not to by the np and hubs said, you better get it now or you'll regret it

Thats great that you have a nice MA.to rely on. Funny that he knew your Specktra name

It totally sucks that the same thing happened to you! I really don't understand how they promised that stock to us then sent it elsewhere or to other people. They totally made me so happy when they said hey, we got this for you! oh wait, nope!! 2 days later. BOGUS. Macys broke my marilyn monroe loving heart!

I'm just waiting for Belk to join Macys and Bloomingdales in sending out cancellations. Would love to know if the dept stores didn't get the stock they were promised or something?
