MAC Tropical Taboo Collection (2013)

Then we have to risk things getting sold out.. So confused now! MAC wants to randomly make rules and not make it clear whether this is going to be long-term or what... I just called the store I go to most often and they said they're launching on July 4th. We'll see!
I'm pretty sure the early orders thing was just a RiRi collection thing. I hope it was bc the only way I can ever get stuff is when it launches at 2/3am and most non-vampire hours people are sleeping lol whenever something is a morning/afternoon launch I miss what I want

I think as long as it pops on the site map we're good even if its early. Riri was different because you had to have the specific link to it and because it was a big collection aaaand because they gave us a specific launch time which they've never done with any other collection. Im not scared plus there's always macys, nordies, dillards and so on....

p.s. I do beg those who want to call and inquire/complain to not give them more details on how we do our thing here, i read some comments on the riri thread of people calling and telling them "Well we always order early and there's never a problem" just please dont give them any more details
This is true ladies. I know it had a lotttt to do with the anticipation of Rihanna's collection, but it just seems so hypocritical of them to tell people they weren't supposed to order early and allow it for other collections. BUT, if it is up on the Site Map it IS a lot easier for general public to find. I hope and think all should be well with ordering whenever it goes up but I'm just a little skeptical now.

GlamQueen, if you have a CCO, I got mine for $29.50. Can't beat that! Their makeup selection has been pretty stagnant and meh lately, so I turned my attention to slowly getting brushes from there instead.
matchachoco, if you don't mind me asking, what skin tone are you? I am so super pale that most MSFs show up fairly easily on me. The one I have to use more of is Crystal Pink.
I will have to go to my CCO soon and haven't been to mine in so long! I will try to remember to go and see if they have the 187 at that price instead of paying $42 for it.

I used my 187 for blush today. I can't using it for highlighting. I feel it's too big and spreads it all over. Am I doing something wrong?

I plan on getting the 159 and use it for highlighting.

I think my list will be

159
Rio, Lust, Adored MSF
Simmer, Sweet Samba MB
Dare to Bear, Cha-Cha-Cha, Time to Tango, Bossa Blue, Tropica MES

Since I did not haul any RR Hearts, I can splurge more on this one.

I hope I don't regret skipping EE blush, but it looks too orange for me to swing it. Now, if someone gets one that is 85% brown & doesn't want theirs, well, that will be a different story

Most definitely! This is true ladies. I know it had a lotttt to do with the anticipation of Rihanna's collection, but it just seems so hypocritical of them to tell people they weren't supposed to order early and allow it for other collections.

I definitely think that whole ordeal was a mess. With the way collections have been selling out lately (like All About Orange when Sushi Kiss sold out in like 30-40min) obviously people are going to order as soon as they see something is available! I don't think anyone is going to be like "oh u know what let me sit in the waiting room for hours to be extra fair..." Of course people would try to order early! And if it's up on the site that's not the customers fault. But most collections don't have an assigned time like RiRi did

the 24th is a Monday, that sounds kinda odd unless she was talking about pros??

Did nordstrom announce their release date? or is speculation because they always release Mondays?
Nordstrom put up Japanese Spring and Narcissus Cremesheen Glasses on the site with an approximate ship date of 6/24. They did the same thing last month with the Chanel Avant Première items, some stuff showed up early but had a ship date of the 25/27 May and then on those dates the whole collection was actually available to purchase. I think the same thing will happen with this

No problem! I get excited whenever I see that on the site bc it's usually like a leak of the launch date lol it gives you at least a general time frame of when to expect stuff to be up

this is why I love blazing haute. It also seems to meld into my skin and makes me look l ike I'm glowing. LOVE It, should have gotten a back up. I want it forever.

I might be mistaken, but I thought I heard that they were going to do a repromote of In Extra Dimension. Yes, it is indeed lovely. I purchased mine once they had come back in stock. I was more into the eye shadows. It wasn't until after it had released, that I realized how pretty the blushes are!

That collection was repromoted in April 2013. Or do u mean another collection (round 3) might get repromoted again ?

I thought I had read that it was getting repromoted again, which would make it round three. I am still recuperating from my RiRi hangover. I am pooped today. How about you guys? This is getting so hard to keep up with everything. It's like a three-ring circus, and we're all in the "Big Top"! I can hear the circus music load and clear! I guess we'll all be at the face-painting booth!

Hey ladies!!! I am an NC 15 skin tone and cannot decide between Adored or Lust MSF ... Which one do you think will work best for me?? I can only afford to get 1. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I also have red in my skin so something that will work with that
