I need to use spoiler alerts when talking about must-haves for pale beauties. LOL

It's not so bad - you've not steered me wrong yet, and I now have lots of things that I love and would never have considered on my own

I'm around NW10, but I prefer my lips to have a bit of colour. I don't have much natural colour in my lips, and pale lippies can look awful on me, with a few exceptions. I'm a fan of the 50s, not the 60s.

If I wear pale lipstick, people think I'm anaemic

I have Double Spin from last year and that one is tricky. I'm still not sure if I like it or hate it.

Youtube is working again for me today, yay! Apparently all I had to do was restart my router.

ahhhh My order is out for delivery! I selected overnight at like 7pm last night and didn't think I would get it until Wed!

 

[Dreaming Dancer]

Impossibly sweet lipglass is sold out now on regular site. i guess that is the first thing. I'm surprised it wasn't a lipstick.

 

[Audrey C]

I pre-ordered what I wanted, but I just checked out the Canadian site and it still says 'coming soon'. Odd.

I'd have thought Superb or Whisper of Gilt would be the first to go. Or the crazy sparkly F/Ls. Or like you say, a lipstick like Outrageously Fun.

Odd that's sold out. Thats the only one I didn't order.. It didn't do anything for me.

It might just be a glitch.

 

[LoveSpree]

Things are already starting to sell out ...?

Has anyone compared Stylishly Merry e/s to MAC's Stars N Rockets? How comparable are they?

Someone swatched comparisons to Plum Dressing and it was pretty close.

 

[Knope2012]

Well, I give up. I've tried twice today to get Outrageously Fun and twice MAC has taken my money, yet insisted that my card won't process. The same card that I've had no problem for using for online purchases anywhere else in the past few days. So I'm out $40 until my bank gives it back to me, and I don't have my lipstick. I tried another card and they said it wouldn't work either.

 

[AniBEE]

Yes although all the advertising is up for the Canadian site for this collection....

I usually skip Glaze formulas abut I kind of want Beauty as well as Innocence (again not usually a fan of frost). The are $20CAN each however compared to the $18CAN standard. There no packaging difference so why the high increase?

I don't find them to be close at all IRL due to the beautiful sheen in SM. If you like Stars N Rockets you will like SM. It is a more amped up version.

I was reviewing my recent charges on my credit card. I noticed the charge I made at Nordstrom today for the rest of my Glamour Daze items seemed lower than I calculated. I go back to check my pick up confirmation email. Sure enough, my BU of Outrageously Fun has been canceled. This only happens when the store doesn't have the item in stock. That means that my Nordstrom counter has already sold out of Outrageously Fun lipstick before the official launch date. My order of Innocence and 2 Glamourdaze are fine. Only Outrageously Fun has been canceled.

It's already bad to have things at stores/counters sell out in a matter of hours. I think it's even worse for them to sell out before the collection even officially launches. I can still order the lipstick online and have it delivered, or order it directly from MAC's website. Truthfully, though, I'm rethinking the BU. I want it, but have been spending way too much as evidenced by my recent charges. There're still other collections I want to purchase from and they include other brands. This could be an error in my favor. I'm also questioning the Glamourdaze BU and may not accept it when I pick up my order.

I placed (another) order last night for BU and possible CP and got the order fulfilled email, but then a CSR from Nordies called and said they they didn't have any Stolen Moment currently in stock. I expected that some stuff might be sold out because this was at the mall where they filmed that GD performance. But oddly enough, when I talked to people at the counter, they had stock available in nearly everything and thought that they had one more shipment at the end of this week, so I think it'll be ok.

I thought that phone call confirmations were standard, but then I ordered something else from a different counter and never got a call about it (although I DID receive the email saying it was ready).

Nordstrom FINALLY took down the "pick up in store" option. I'm surprised it took so long. Haha, I'm sad about that, I should have placed more orders! Now I have to wait (but my haul is done, so it's ok).

MAC is killing me lately..After MM I swore i was done for awhile. Just had to pull out the old CC and get Whisper of Guilt (hope this is great on my MC15-20 skin) The smokey eyes palette. impossibly sweet lipglass and little black bow. I was gonna wait for payday but figured if the lipglass is already gone on MAC best to get it now. I'll just convince myself it was a birthday haul

Just when I took SM off my list, you had to reeeeeeeeel me back in!

 

[Supercoolstephy]

It might just be a glitch.

It was the first thing to have the "sold out" sticker at my pro store. I found it to me a bit too glittery for me.

 

[elegant-one]

Maybe it's just me, but in the promo pics on the site, I don't like looking at her fingernails - looks like she was digging in the dirt and its all around her nails.

Can't wait to get my goodies. I'm still deciding if I should get the $70 pink set. Anyone get it?

 

[MACina]

I love Double Spin

I have Double Spin from last year and that one is tricky. I'm still not sure if I like it or hate it.
