I received my packages today and 4 lipsticks are MISSING from one package :(( 2 firm form, 1 absolute power and 1 apres chic :((( Did this happen to anyone before? I called and spoke with mac and the rep on the phone said that he put a request to ship the items but warned me that they only had 3 firmform lipsticks left and they could sell out by the time the shipping department (?) will process the request?? WTF MAC

I payed overnight shipping with all 3 different orders placed just from the fear that I don't miss anything since lipsticks were selling out quickly

.... I am waiting for an email from them to confirm either the shipment or refund.. Hoping with the shipping confirmation!
That's awful. You may want to call back and speak to a supervisor to get a definite answer. I'm waiting on my package to arrive today and I hope all of my items will be in the box. I really hope you get your stuff.

This happens to me as well. Most all greys do that. With one MAC exception... HOCUS POCUS! Love it!

oh btw regarding which quad it might depend on your colouring.
the sales assistant who helped me was wearing inner strength (it looked beautiful), but she thought the grey shade would turn baby blue on my skin....and she was right!

I was able to get pink pigeon from the Mac store in Roosevelt field today. I was so excited!! Can't wait to play. I got stereo rose, après chic, haute altitude, and hot chocolate too!

It looks like only some freestanding stores are allowing sales of this collection starting today. I keep getting conflicting information. I had called the store on Monday and was first told Jan. 3, then that it would be available today. I go in and was told it will be the 3rd. They said they won't do holds or pre-orders because of what happened with the Marilyn collection, which I understand, but they did a pre-sale for me for Taste Temptation.

Now I'm going to have to take time off from work to go back on the 3rd.

That's how SW looks on me, I'm C4. I LOVE it. On me, Heroine and SW look quite different. Heroine being more blue based.
SW looks lovely on you!

Call it wishful thinking, but it reminds me a bit of Spitfire from WW. Not enough to kill my Spitfire lemming though
lol.gif

I had spitfire. Spitfire is more magenta/fuscia.

I meant to make it to the MAC store when they opened this morning but it was 20 degrees (in Central Texas, we are not prepared for these temperatures haha) so I slept in. I made it to the store at 2 and was able to get Pink Pigeon, Absolute Power, and Taupe Shape. I ordered Strong Woman online. So excited to finally have my hands on Pink Pigeon!!!

Going to MAC this Saturday, hopefully they have Pink Pigeon, Party Parrot, and Strong Woman in stock.
If i'm real lucky they will have Seductive Intent and Night Blooming :) Going to check Macy's and Nordstrom also for them.

Those are all BU worthy in my book. I have BUs of all of those colors as well.
Cartoon Chic, you have a collection of products that rival any that I've ever been aware of. I love the way you keep inventory and are so unbelievably organized. Do you keep your backup lippies refrigerated?
