MAC Strength Collection Discussion (December 2012)

[CartoonChic]

Some of the items I backed up (that I can recall w/o looking) were: Heroine, Pink Popcorn, CYY (BR), Moxie, Deeply Adored, Love Goddess, CIS, etc.

Those are all BU worthy in my book. I have BUs of all of those colors as well.

Keep checking the MAC website. Hopefully there will be a restock. Or head to the stores and join the crowds for some post-Christmas shopping

I am lol, this is my first time ever "stalking" for MAC stuff I'm at work so I'm going to try to call some stores. I just called one since I saw a few people post that their stores are opening early but there was no answer. *fingers crossed*

Finally after trying random words I found one that worked for free shipping on the Canadian site! Genius I am it's BOX Haha! Boxing day, I win

I don't know why there's so much confusion going on with this collection. I've spoken w/ my Nordstrom, Macy's, MAC & MAC Pro and they've all stated that it's a MAC online & MAC store exclusive. I find it hard to believe that they're ALL wrong. Maybe it's just my area (Orlando, FL)...Idk

Not sure if you're Dana. But it was nice meeting you today at the MAC store. Lucky for us there was no craziness in the store this morning. I was able to schedule my Archie Comics Event and got the cute invite. I got everything I wanted from this collection. Now I'm on a strict NO BUY till Archie collection comes out. Happy Hauling!!

 

[Mac-Guy]

Haha! Boxing day, I win

I'm thrilled to hear it worked out for you!

thanks hun, i woke up like at 6am, i went to open the mall for those lipsticks,

 

[pleasantmacabre]

just called Mac customer service and the lady told me my order is being shipped out today, she also told me that the lipsticks from strength that are showing sold out are indeed sold out..but mentioned they do sometimes restock those..

soo i'm ordering pink pigeon off of the Canadian site and then i'm done

 

[badassSENORiTA]

I was the only one in the store as well, got there right after they opened. I brought bella with me lol
they all call her the MAC puppy so I'm always going to bring her in from now on when I go. Surprisingly
I didn't get all the lipsticks I thought I would. Idk why I changed my mind I only got absolute power lipstick
and taupe shape blush. I have so much bright colors so I guess when I looked at Pink Pigeon, Strong Woman
and Parrot Party I was like ehh... don't really need them. Kind of wanted Firm Form but I passed on that as well

 

[pleasantmacabre]

i finally just got the promo email

 

[LadyMisfit]

Silly MAC it's a little late for the email.... hello most of the stuff are sold out lol

 

[ChosenOne]

*sigh* No shipping confirmation yet. Still pending. At this point I'm kind of wishing I had just waited to go buy my stuff in store today.

 

[pleasantmacabre]

Silly MAC it's a little late for the email.... hello most of the stuff are sold out lol

nothing is sold out on the Canadian site

 

[aradhana]

nothing is sold out on the Canadian site

except stereo rose of all things!?

 

[MACJunkie85]

I think it's funny that I just got the email from MAC about this collection!

 

[emzy]

nothing is sold out on the Canadian site

I tried adding stuff to my cart there yesterday and everything was sold out lol. Then I didn't know how to get back to the American website in case there was a restock.

Just placed an order with a MAC store (over the phone) they said there was no order number..is that normal? this is my first time ordering that way sorry.

 

[CarmenK]

Am I the only one not crazy about Pink Pigeon? I feel like its so similar to CYY and even Nars Schiap that I dont find it unique. Or maybe I just havent seen too many swatches of it?

Either way I hope everything works out for everyone there is still a chance to get what you need with the Mac stores opening super early today! I kept my order really simple and just got three things

Stereo Rose (which I've been wanting for years now!! )
Cozy up (looks like a gorgeous nude)
and Pink Parrot (which im really excited about!)

I too like others purchased online right after the lipsticks launched around 8 pm on the 24th and just now getting my shipping notice so thankfully everything went through!


Hope everyone had a merry christmas!!
