I didn't order online. I pre-ordered. No biggie though. I've picked up enough already from the collection so I feel ok.If you guys ordered online for in-store pickup, wait for the email saying it's ready. I'm pretty sure that someone from customer service pulls the item from stock and processes the order. I got an email informing it was ready AND a phone call
Yup, that's the email I'm waiting to get. I've never received a phone call before. That's neat.If you guys ordered online for in-store pickup, wait for the email saying it's ready.

Great, thanks!But yes I will let you know when I know something new
I really like the way the product pictures are presented. The EDES all look true to life. Something's off with those US prices, though.
yeah i know, but i want to go today to see the stuff again a preorder.
It's the opposite for me and MAC. If I order directly from them, it sometimes takes over a week, but with Nordies, it's so much faster. Plus, I usually choose in-store pickup since I live near so many of them, hehe.
Ah, gotcha. I was trying to keep track of the convo, sorry!
yeaaa their shipping sucks for me, too. I believe if I lived on the East Coast, my orders would get to my faster...oh well!
Nope! It takes about a week for me, too.yeaaa their shipping sucks for me, too. I believe if I lived on the East Coast, my orders would get to my faster...oh well!

Yes of course that does make sense. I don't know much about the US prices, I know it's cheaper but that's all. I think M.A.C lipsticks last long ( over 2 years without any change in texture ), my Urban Decay or Two Faced lipsticks are not so good, the Chanel ones are perfect and the Nars too. The quality depends a lot on texture esp. with M.A.C products. I store them all in a box away from light ( this is really very important, plastic boxes are no good at all ). I totally agree high end lipsticks are very good, I love M.A.C but also all French brands and others. 20 €- 30 € is acceptable for a good lipstick but of course I wish prices were lower. Yes some M.A.C lippies are very dry, so are the Nars ones ( semi-matte ) or even some Rouges Coco. The new textures ( YSL Pur Couture Mat, Burberry even if I haven't tried them yet, etc.. ) will be better for the lips, long wearing too.Of course other brands are even more expensive here.
But compared to the US they are overpriced IMO. (I had a look at the Nordstrom site which automatically shows me the US prices converted in Euros, and a l/s is just 12-13 Euro there!) And the price keeps getting higher. So I might as well spend a couple of Euros more on higher end l/s, where I feel the formulas are nicer and they are actually worth that high price.
Also I feel the quality in MAC l/s can differ a lot. One can have a smooth and even application and feel nice and hydrating, another one can look patchy and feel drying. And since I order all my MAC online I don't want to take that risk of ending up with a lippie I hate (well there's always a risk, but I want to keep it as minimal as possible). So if I see swatches that make me doubt if a l/s has a nice formula, I rather invest in a high end brand one where the quality is more consistent. I hope that makes sense
