I hate when that happens especially when it's a LE item.I am gutted right now, I ordered a Ronnie Red and I cannot find it anywhere--was gonna try it out today.
Maybe I stuck it in the pocket of my coat the other day, but if not, I am going to have to tear the house apart.

Buick, you look gorgeous
I love both looks
I love both looks
I'm never going to catch up with this thread (or any of the others, for that matter) so I'm not even going to bother lol.
I received my Archie stuff earlier this week (courtesy of the most wonderful Specktrette evah!) and I've been playing with them since. I'm so glad I got them through a CP because from what I can see MAC.nl hasn't got most of the items in and Douglas and de Bijenkorf don't seem to have them either. I absolutely love everything I got (RR, DLG, BB, BS lippies; MM, SM and KDT l/g, both quads, both blushes and both pearlmattes). I'm still thinking whether or not to get the Betty Piggies (the green one in particular). And I really want to get a DLG for mum. I hope I can snag one when (if, more like) it pops up online.
The quads were the products I was the most apprehensive about but I needn't have worried. Yes, Cheryl Chic and Dreammaker are pretty sheer. But they work beautifully with the two darker shades. And they are buildable if you can be bothered to layer them. Caramel Sundae was the star of the palette for me - it's the perfect transition shade and the texture is divine. Love it! I had some blending issues with Ronnie's quad, but I'm pretty sure that had something to do with me overapplying UDPP today. A bit of hardcore buffing action with the old 217 sorted it out.
Caramel Sundae, with Added Goodness f/l (cheeks were Cream Soda and NARS Albatross to highlight; lips were Betty Bright):
Spoiled Rich, with random black liner on the upper lashline and Feminine Edge f/l along lower lashline (cheeks were Prom Princess, albeit buffed into oblivion with a kabuki brush, and Veronica's Blush Pearlmatte to highlight; lips were Boyfriend Stealer):

Ok so I ordered a 2nd DLG BU monday in the first 2 minutes the collection was released online monday and I still hadn't received a shipping notice, so I checked my status online. It is fuckin cancelled
I'm seriously sooooooooooooo pissed at Mac. The lipstick says coming soon right now and I called CS and they tell me they can't hold the lipstick right now and just that they are sorry, but that I can send an email with my complain and that they will discuss if they can do anything. If they can't do anything I'm going to be so sad, because DLG is one of my favorite lippies ever
It's not fair, because I literally saw the collection coming online and I still missed it! I just can't believe how they treat their costumers it's just ridiculus! It's like you have to stalk every minute of the day and still have a chance you don't get it. I'm sorry for my rant, but I still can't believe that happened to me again.

I am really glad to hear that you still have several chances to get your BU!
Oh, you are going to get the Pearlmattes in the Netherlands?
That is great

Thanks MACinaI'm also contacting someone that sells one in the clearance bin. And maybe my counter gets a restock when the pearlmattes arrive. They have gotten restocks in the past. I will get my BU! But it's just frustrating that I can't order from the Mac NL site without this nonsense. I don't understand that their system doens't update quick enough, because Douglas and de Bijenkorf are able to update their systems in time.
