yes, I know they hold some products out for emergencies like this. During an Iris Apfel restock I got PP instead of SI. They 2nd day aired me SI even though it said "sold out".
Yep, a similar thing happened to me with Hey Sailor. I ordered as soon as it launched and they still hadn't showed up after more than a week. MAC sent the products to me 2nd day air even though most were sold out. Of course, I was afraid that I wouldn't see them so I ordered them from the macys website. But then the new MAC package and the missing package showed up. Luckily, I was able to return the new MAC package free of charge and returned the macys ones to the store.

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so fuckin pissed right now! went to go get my check and they inform me that even tho they have the checks they can't give them out tommorow!!!! I was supposed to go to the party tonight I was going to buy like $300!!! now I can't buy shit I'm seriously in my car crying right now and I have to take a fucking math quiz in 5 minutes. I'm so soooo upset and no one around me understands or even cares! it was supposed to be my first party but kow I really don't see the point since I don't have any fucking money!
Oh sweetie! I'm with everyone else. Go to the party and pick out what you like and hopefully by the 7th you're all set. Lots of LOVE beauty!

On the lighted vanity mirror issue - i need one!

But what i want to say is i remember when in theater dressing rooms they actually had at least 2 sets of lights - warm (yellow incandescent) lights and cool lights and you could switch between them, or have them all on.

Even for those of us not in the theater (nearly all of us, i suspect), different kinds of light still make a difference. Makeup that looks good in natural light, with its more balanced spectrum, may well not look the same under, for example, office fluorescent lights, which tend green.

Either MAC or UPS has lost my package.

I ordered as soon as it came online and got shipping confirmation on the 31st. I looked at the tracking just to see my delivery date which was supposed to be yesterday the 4th. I didn't get my package so today I called UPS and they told me to immediately contact the sender because there had been no scans or movement on my package, the info I was seeing goes in automatically from the sender it was just showing in transit with the order processed and the origin scan.

I called MAC CS and she said sometimes mistakes happen but they cannot open the investigation until 10 business days have passed.
WTF2.gif
I asked her to just be honest and let me know if I should be looking for this package or if I need to go the store on Thursday to get my stuff. She was kind enough to say she doubted I would get my order and if I purchase in the store let them know so they can credit my card.

She also told me if I wait the 10 days and don't get my lipsticks they would send them to me 2nd day air.

I asked how that would be possible as these things are selling out like crazy and she said they are obligated to fulfill my order and I would get my products. Maybe all the small restocks come from a stash of products they hold in case of emergency and once deliveries are confirmed they make that stock available. Sorry for the long rant I just needed to vent but I'm enjoying reading all the posts and seeing all the great pics.
All I can say is Damn Damn Damn *James Evans Voice* Man, I would just go to the store and them to credit you back!!

- my Archie's Girls stuff (Boyfriend Stealer l/s, as well as Feelin' So Good and Mall Madness l/g) is supposed to arrive tomorrow. Hubba-hubba! I love Veronica's Blush Pearlmatte, but i'm skipping and holding out for the two Pearlmattes in the Baking Beauties collection in April, since it seems one has a similar base.

I sure hope so! My only worry is that it will make me look washed out. I mean, I'm practically see thru-pale so...lol! Thank you for help!
I'm around an nw15 and I actually like the way it looks on me. I also like that its sheer as well,it can be hard for us pale ladies to pull off light colors. if you happen to have mall madness lipglass it looks gorgeous over GND.

Totally agree, elegant-one. The brushes are well-worth the price and the hearts are just too cute! I mean, how can you turn down brushes with hearts on them?!! I obviously couldn't!

Here is a picture of me (in not great lighting) wearing the Veronica's Blush PM all over and Boyfriend Stealer lipstick. I love them both, though Boyfriend Stealer definitely needs to have lips exfoliated before wearing!

Just received ANOTHER Archie's order at work. My co-workers keep wondering why I'm receiving a big, black box every single day...
girlhaha.gif


This order had Betty Bright and Kiss and Don't Tell in it. Holy Moly! I wish I would have ordered Betty Bright earlier. This may be another lipstick from this collection I'm forced to backup!

I originally avoided it because it was described as coral and I was afraid it would look too orange...but it doesn't at all! I'd say it is a lot more pink than orange and it is just lovely!

This collection is kicking my ass!

I wish there was a "Thumbs Down" button. So sorry this happened.

What have you tried to get Betty Bright to work? Not sure when I'll have time to play in makeup so I need to live through you. LOL
Lol. I paired Auburn lip pencil with Betty Bright. I tried Lasting Sensation first, but the lipstick was still too bright.

Ha so I just ordered Cream Soda blush and just as I hit submit.. I realized that I forgot to update my address! Doh. The Nordies guy was awesome and canceled my order so that I could re-place the order.

So now... I guess, I gave in to both blushes :)
