Heroine was sold out the same day at my counter. STILL kicking myself for not picking up 2! Thought it was close enough to Magenta so I really didn't need more than 1 but I was sooo wrong lol

Pretty! LOLOL - you got NakedMy mini haul and a full size of Naked (thanks to you all in the riri thread) I had a sample that was running low. The blushes should be here this week. I used adored and the 159 yesterday for a wedding and it was just perfect! Thinking about getting a backup of adored.

Did you go to Pembroke Lakes if you don't mind me asking?Quote:Originally Posted by luckyme
I was surprised when I went to my MAC store today because NOTHING was sold out except Calypso Beat. The manager said it was because she had been telling everyone who asked about the collection that it was not going to be released until July 4th. She said her manager called her last week and told her to put it out a week early. She also said she cant imagine how many people are going to be coming in this Thurs and are going to be disappointed cause it will have already been out a week and picked through by then.
Now see, the people coming in on Thursday should not be upset. If they were serious collectors or fans of mineralize collections they would have known about the date change, and if confused would have confirmed it or gone in the store Thursday, June 27 on the off chance it was there.

Yes, I was all set to stick with Magenta and/or my NYX Purple Rain, but I am glad I finally bought a Heroine. It is different from both of those previous suggestions.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm glad there's plenty of stores to choose from in the area.

I don't think in the little town I live in that the people are as die hard as on here. I also think that if the manager told them it would be the 4th, then that is the date. I am not stressed over it because I got what I wanted but I would be upset if I went in first thing Thurs morning only to find out it is already gone!

I just waited the whole day for my simmer blush, it was out for delivery since early this morning up to like 5 minutes ago, and now it says destination scan, estimated arrival tuesday!! Wtf!

You could try calling them...see what excuse they give you for why it was out for delivery all day and now suddenly says tomorrow. Not sure if it's too late for you to opt to pick it up at the facility.

Yep, it sure is. I guess some people think they're pretty close in color, but I think they are different. I posted a picture before when someone was curious to see the comparison. Just in case anyone out there wants to see it, I'll post it again. Hope it helps!
The top is""Heroine" and the bottom is "Magenta".

I was on my MAC no buy (for the most part) when Heroine first came out so I didn't pay attention to anything that came out. I never paid attention to the actual color because I didn't care. Now I'm playing catch up with some MAC items so the repromotes are new for me (well some of them are)

Crap I think we are in the same city? I've been waiting all day too and they usually come around 2-3pm or closer to 7 if they've been busy. I don't see a status change yet but ugh. Where's your order coming from? Mines nordstrom.

I searched through all they had in the drawer, because i wanted more beige and less hot pink, so mine is about 2/3 beige. To tell the truth, though, most were pretty evenly divided, kinda half and half with swirls of each color creeping into the other. I didn't see any zebras...

It's kinda OT for this board, but it's a lovely coral creme with large turquoise flecks in it, and red glitter and bronze micro glitter. It's made by Scofflaw and in the US it's sold on the Llarowe website - may be others as well - Llarowe specializes in indie nail polishes.

I got some gorgeous polishes from them, but i still can't get my hands on David Bowie's Bulge! I did get Taste Like Snozberries, though, mmm-mmm-mmm.
