RiRi Hearts MAC Summer Collection (June 18, 2013)

[ButterflyDior77]

I think the bronzer/blusher & Lustre drops sold out, because they were the most "unique' and "summery" things in the collection.

MAC rarely releases new lustre drops... Maybe a casual MU buyer might not even know that MAC has two permanent ones.
The bronzer/blusher isn't too unique, but I think it is summery and RiRi so fans of her and mac's would get it.

The lipsticks we all know have near identical permanent dupes in MAC's collection Ruby Woo, Up the Amp, and Rebel. The only thing different is the finish and slight variation of tone or color. Lots of people know this, so maybe that was a factor. Plus perhaps MAC prepared for the lipsticks to sell quickly and had more stock for them. I know lately the first things to sell out are the lipsticks in their collections.


If I had money I might have gone for the Lustre Drops. Then again I don't think that color would have looked good on my pale skin. I'll stick with Pink Rebel. I suspect if you mix Pink Rebel and Sun Rush together you can get a similar color to Barbados Girl.

I got Heaux btw.

The part that trips me out the most is the stories of people calling Mac (for whatever reason) and being lectured about ordering early. Well, excuse the hell out of me for using your website. I didn't run up in your damn warehouse.

PREACH

Wow, congrats to all who finally got their orders in today! It sounds like an ordeal to say the least. So glad I sat this one out.

*~*I haven't posted in YEARS (literally haha), but this release was an all around hot mess. I placed 2 orders before 12, and 3 after 12 (those took me 3 hours to place). The ones I placed prior to 12 were cancelled, but the ones that were placed after are still pending. I will say this, I would not have been upset if those who ordered last night (& prior to 12) had their orders processed an shipped. IMO, since MAC had the option of adding the items to your bag and checking out (with a confirmation number received), then the items are yours, regardless of the set release time. If MAC wanted to make sure that no one ordered prior to release time, then they should have waited until then to make the items available to order. To those who are saying that they waited and didn't try to order prior to 12, that's all well and good, but please do not get upset at those who did. If MAC made them available to order, why should those customers be penalized? It's not like MAC's system was hacked, the items were on the site and available to order.*end rant* *~*

I had other stuff in my order. Hell, just take the RiRi stuff out and charge me for and send my other stuff. I don't even have time for people that's been lurking here and getting info and links and what not and then are gonna all of a sudden come in here like they're holier than thou. I'd like to see the one that has a link presented to them earlier and is going to say "oh no, I'll just sit and wait to enjoy MAC's nice little waiting room". Yeah right. LMAO.

New plan: Specktra users let's just go run up in the MAC warehouse. Show them "fairness".

You're so lucky!

I agree. We have this one cs lady , grace, who is really awesome. I feel like maybe she had a hand in it. I feel so bad for the other ladies whose orders were cancelled.

Or if they want to do that waiting room thing, they should have done it like how Sephora did it for Black Friday. It went SO much smoother than with MAC this morning!

yes the waiting room should be smooth and not a stressful process that you have to be at your computer,ipad,iphone or what ever other device for 3 hours plus.

I just posted my first ever rant on a company's FB page, I can't wait to get my canned response.

 

[Denae78]

Mac needs to take some notes from sephora. Even though there was a glitch in the system with the ariel palette they didn't go ahead and cancel the orders smh wth mac.

What happened with the Ariel palette?

 

[pleasantmacabre]

Let me head over to FB and like it.

Wow! My order shipped. I'm happy about that, but it's really bogus that people who ordered early just like me didn't get their stuff. Mac's being selective here. That is not good business.

 

[Denae78]

Omg. I'm happy for you but I feel like I've been cheated.

Thank you! I don't blame you. It really sucks. By ordering early we weren't doing anything wrong!

Lucky gal! Hopefully they can move a lot quicker with the orders

When were you able to place your order? I'm wondering if they are shipping it in the order they were received since everyone had to get standard shipping
