Was lurking a little but I must say: BeautybyLele, Beautybuyer, and brittbby I'm loving all you ladies' new avatars.

Yes i second this

I have to admit when I read that bit about "using technology to circumvent the MAC website" I had a quick vision of Elegant, Richelle and I repelling down the wall at MAC corporate to break in and grab some Heauxs. LOL

OMG! Heaux thieves

I love it

That comment is just so over the top ignorant. I had to write that quote down so I could address it when MAC uppers call me back. So, thanks for reposting it. Sounds like a quick line their lawyer gave them.

BTW - I am still going to demand that they send my 3 cancelled orders

just for the fun of it

Hi guys

Well its been awile since I was here! And Riri collection brought me back here! What a mess!!! Was trying to order 3 lippies for almost 6 hours and only Riri Woo is shipped. Hope you all will get your orders!!!

Yes, ordering from this collection is a mess. It took me a long time to order. Then, I had a long wait when I called CS to see why one of my orders was cancelled. I hope it comes through.

lol @ notes.. reminds me of the time I wanted to renew my cell contract per L&R's "great" offer and I told them to put it in writing on my account and that im going to think abt it and call back..well when i called back to go ahead and accept the offer, guess what the csr advised it was an error and could not give me the offer..i was so pissed at their lies and rudeness. later when I calmed down I called csr again to see if the prev rep made and error reading the notes, well this2nd csr didn't have an answer and offered to call back with explanation.. obviously 3 hrs later didn't hear back so when I called yet again the next csr told me there were "notes" on my file and a red flag.. all coz I called 3 times in the same day so they marked me as a "problem customer" to warn the next csr incase I called again (he said he didn't understand why I wasn't yelling and sounded sweet enough and also he agreed with me that they f'd up). anywho Guess what I did. I switched the hell out that very moment, wrote a nice long email to HQ and a day later their managers where calling me up to apologize and offer "better" deals. I gave them a good piece of my mind and said hell no u aint getting my business ever. and that's exactly what I did.. so I completely understand shontay and other ladies saying they wont be buying mac again..actions likes these just leave a bad bad taste

Good heavens! hats terrible treatment!!!! Yeah, I am not down with being treated rudely at all. If that happens to me, they get a first chance to apologize & explain, then if they continue, they get this very quickly

in an educational way lol

CartoonChic - I just read that 'you have a wedgie'

what the heck did I miss?

I hope it will magically appear in the fall or winter collection, so you can get it too.
I would have gotten a BU I think of both RRB and Heaux if I had enough money, but you know I think it's good this way. Very excited to try them out and instead of BU's I'll get lippies from other brands like Nars. I believe a dupe for Heaux was Nars Scarlet Empress, maybe you can get that one? It looks like a beautiful colour!
The finish and colour of RRW are perfect for me and I love my reds! I hope I'll like the packaging as much as I think and if so then I'm happy to have my 2nd BU in special packaging! You'll love RRW too, what's not to love about it?!
I also hope all our orders will arrive fine

Haha I hope so too! =P
Yeah sometimes it's nice to try other brands!! I think for me though I just always end up going back 2 mac!!
I'll take a peek at SE, it sounds pretty even by name lol!
I think I'll love it too, and then need a back up! haha!!
Xx

Hoader---just know that it's your fault that I'm forced to go commando!

well isn't that like a Christmas gift

dear heavens, what a way to start the morning

I'm hoarding underwear, CC has a wedgie, & you're commando

 

[TommyCJC]

Haha I feel your pain, girl!!
Some people just don't get it... Confessions of a Mac Addict <3

This reminded me of Tuesday morning, sitting in my cube when one of my colleagues comes by to ask about something. I can only imagine what my faced looked like as it was 2-3 hours in, and I was still in the waiting room. In my head I'm yelling "go the f*uck away!" while he's rambling on about something I'd already answered less than a minute into the conversation. He was completely oblivious!

 

[elegant-one]

I'm not even gonna attempt to explain why i bought as many as i did, cuz i don't have to justify anything to anyone but myself.

OMG! just died laughing reading this

 

[cocofiere]

yay! only children unite! it's so funny reading all these comments because that is exactly how i feel alot of the time. My parents spoiled me like crazy, but no so much anymore, lol. It's nice to know i'm not alone in my inability to share!

I wasn't spoiled too much, unfortunately, which sucks because I am an only child and was the only grandchild for a while but my family didn't play that. However, it took me a while to perfect the concept of sharing stuff. I share information like crazy but my stuff? Nah, only for a select few (my late mom, my grandmother, my little cousins when they act right and sometimes the live-in BF). I've loaned stuff like books, tote bags and phone chargers to "friends" and family only to never see them again. I learned quickly so my makeup was never even offered, LOL.
SN: Now, that I'm good and grown, I spoil myself to make up for lost time.

Sooooo... my order shipped... it's really weird because me and another one of my friends ordered at thet same time and she got a letter from MAC saying that they will not be able to ship her order and they apoligize... and yes... We both ordered after 12 EST and both were in the waiting room for hours... SMH... but I think my excitement for the things I got are pretty luke warm now.

Hi guys! I have been following this forum for the last week and also the ‘all about orange’ collection so I though It would be nice to join you fab ladies ^_^ I’m from the uk and I ordered the lipsticks!!
Just wanted also to let you know that it looks like the lipsticks are available again in the US MAC site! they are showing up for me but not sure ...

Nars Scarlett Empress is a wonderful red. I don't know how it compares because I am in backorder land and it will be weeks {and I am fine with that tyvm as long as I get my stuffs}

Somebody earlier wrote they couldn't go to other brands because MAC is so inexpensive relative to other brands but honestly I don't think Nars is that bad. Oh sure $25 is more than $15 but instead of a zillionty and one LE colors on top of their zillionty and two perm range Nars has a only a few colors come out each season. Usually only 2 or 3 new for fall, winter, spring and then summer collections which is a lot less than 4-6 for a new coll every month. You could easily get all the new Nars lipsticks that come out in an entire year, at your leisure, for a lot less than 3 months of MAC cray cray update madness worth of lipsticks. AND they are almost always additions to permanent line. PLUS you can get them all over the place {not really} but you get your Sephora points or Nordie bucks and regular sales. When was the last time MAC discounted something? Does MAC even have a F&F program? Sure you can take in your 6 used up lipsticks and get one free but honestly when was the last time you used up 6 whole lipsticks? I know I will never ever use up that many considering I have 100 to choose from {thereabouts} and I know some of you ladies have way more than I do. The thought that I have scraped down to bottom of a 6 tubes of red lipstick {all I really wear} when I have dozens and dozens of red to pick and choose from on a daily basis is beyond my imagination. And yes I have favorites that I wear more than others but still. I throw away more than 6 lipsticks a year simply to 'curate' my colors.

I obviously am a MAC fan and have been wearing them for 20 yrs or longer now. Before they were available in the US. I remember how excited my gfs were when they opened their flagship NY store cus I had been pushing Mac on them for a while at that point. Or did they show up at barneys first? No matter. Before they were here. I will probably always buy MAC but I do not think they are the end all be all of make up. Tho I do think if they keep this up they may end up being a one or two lippie/yr company for me. I mean back way back when I used to get everything from mac. My NP, e/s, l/s, blush everything. I now use Nars for blush, chanel for my np {on top of the opi and cg and smaller companies but chanel for dept store}, can't remember the last time I purchased a Mac e/s so they have become a lipstick only company and I have branched out. I have gone from only MAC for all my cosmetics to Mac only for my lipsticks and then not even half that I purchased in last 2 yrs are from them. OK I got FM BP and TPC blush.

writing this out I am tallying it in my head. I purchased 2 Mac lipsticks this year. 4 if you count the backordered things. That is not even a drop in the bucket compared to what I used to pick up from them. It's the end of June and they only managed to sell 2 lipsticks so far. I would say it was sad but they make it so hard to get what you want and I'm just not working that hard for yet another lipstick.

So I've placed a total of 6 orders. 3 pre 3 post. All of my pre got cancelled. My 1st post shipped, my 2nd got cancelled and my 3rd (done at 6am bc my 2nd was cancelled) is pending. I'm just hoping my last one goes thru, even if my heaux comes in July.

So my 3rd one was also cancelled! I called MAC on my way to work (stayed super calm, explained that i did indeed order prior to launch and i'm not upset about them cancelling those orders) and she explained the whole sku thing to me. She transferred me to the supervisor (Danielle) who told me they would reinstate my order and even try to have it expedited to me. I even went as far as creating a new account under a different email and ordered my lippies. We shall see if my orders get processed.

The l/s are showing as in stock on the US site for me too.
