You guys, SUSHI KISS IS LOVE! I quickly put on Sushi Kiss and Royal Sunset. Here's my pic:

Don't post much but I've been here a long time and thought I'd chime in on what I was told recently at a MAC store.. I was talking with an employee about the whole 'limited edition, things selling out so fast' situation and she told me its a 'formula' MAC (or Estee Lauder I guess) came up with awhile ago. They realized if they release a limited amount of a new collection online and it sells out quick, it creates the PERCEPTION that the items are hot and limited (ie. more desirable and harder to come by). So people rush to their counters on release day, frantically trying to get the items that sold out fast online (which these days is most of their new collection). People even buy backups, assuming the items will be impossible to get again. Then, predictably, a week or so later, MAC restocks their site. Sometimes the items sell out again quickly, and other times they sit on the site awhile. Often they end up at the CCO because they really had a lot of stock all along....she also said that the items that hit stores now were made like 6 or 8 months ago at least so all they can do is guess at the time they create the collection as to what the demand will be for each item. Anyways, I can't vouch for the accuracy of all this info, this is just what I was told by a long-time MAC employee. It does make sense though :amused:

This is EXACTLY what they do! No guessing about it.

OMGosh I just saw this :busted: :lol: Well, I was going to say that I would grab your arm Erine...but thought someone "cough" would get huffy :haha:

:lol:

Wow! Even Neon Orange? I figured that one wouldn't sell out...

See what your pretty Neon Orange lips did...sold it right out

I just noticed on the website, when you click on the All About Orange products, Neon Orange is sold out. However, if you click on Pro Products and select the Lips section, Neon Orange is available. What's up with that?

Yeah it's not sold out. Either it's a glitch on the AAO page, or it's their deceiving marketing. People will gravitate to the new collection pages, see it's sold out, and rush to the stores or other sites to buy it, not knowing it's a PRO perm product they can get under the general lippie category.

omg y do i love HJ and IF so much!!

Cuz they're so purdy!

How is Royal Sunset on NC15 skin, anyone?

Check out my swatches hun. I'm one shade darker.

Great idea! I'm not familiar as to when they usually launch. Do Nordstrom and Macy's launch a day prior or a week like MAC? Or just the night before of the actual date?

Those counters launch on the launch date. Their sites, however, launch as early as the Monday before the official launch date.

Hopefully its a glitch! It would be quite conniving of them if it isn't.

Just opened my package and I'm smitten with royal sunset! I will try it on today. I love it swatched on my wrist. It's so pretty that if I didn't have enough blushes I would back it up. I didn't want my bf to see everything I ordered but he caught me red handed! Haha..

How lame! At least you got your package before store launch and nordies and Macy's. if you had gotten standard shipping you probably wouldn't have received it in time to know!

Thanks hon, looks good! Glad I ordered it now. I was curious about Honey Jasmine but figured it was just too orange for me so I passed but kinda not sure if I should've now, lol.

Check out my swatches hun. I'm one shade darker.

 

[Jennifae]

do not skip RS! ok, im enabling lol

I don't think I can resist. It looks so pretty from the full face photos I've seen.

 

[Serenityy]

I think I might get it then. Did it easily show up on you or did you have to layer it on?

I had to layer it two times, it wasn't that bad. I was expecting that I was going to have to layer it a lot so it was a pleasant surprise!

 

[ForeverJenn]

Here are some quick pics of the blushes! I had to layer both 2x to get them to Show up this way. Royal sunset is definitely pink IMO. No one should fear honey jasmine, it's a beautiful shade and it's buildable so a light hand would work. This is royal sunset on my brush:

Here is honey Jasmine on my brush :

This is both of them swatched next to each other in diff lightings :
