Thanks girl! Yeah, I believe I can wait it out online that day, and hopefully stalk Macys/Nordstrom's sites a few days later if that doesn't work. My last resort would be to go to the store, bc I have no idea how the lines would be, and it's almost an hour away. Not impossible, just not the best idea haha. MAC employees don't typically hold items for you, do they? I would think not- I've also heard horror stories about MAC employees buying all the products before the store opens.
I hope those weren't true.
