Mac emailed me today they are supposed to send me another heaux and riri boy 2nd day air this time, I really hope they aren't melted or covered in that white stuff... I hate complaining and emailing them but I want lipsticks that don't look gross!

Lol 128 degrees? That might be Arizona but I'd say it's about 81 in Cali. ;)
yeah I exaggerated but really it was about 105 some have told me 110 on some days but after stout 90-95 in direct sun or if the box is in heated temperature the lipsticks start to soften and melt which is why some peoples were damaged and some not my box was warm the first time and the rrw in them were lil shiny and sweaty so I put them In the freezer for a minute just so it can harden back up and they were good the next order of rrb and heaux was ok and the box wasn't warm at all they were lil shiny but ones in fridge then I tried them they were good no damage, the week they were deluvered it was only about 78-80 in temp. So even if Mac sends out replacements the same thing may happen its best to get refunded instead for those who live in those areas because my friend does and her replacement melted to and Mac cant control that part of the situation

ok I over exaggerated but it was. About 105-110 degrees where my friend is in Cali after 90-95 in sunlight those babies will melt so if there left on a doorstep or on shot truck in extreme heat that's why there getting daged my friends replacement even melted so she just got a refund if it sucks for those who live where it gets real hot for this reason Mac should have had the collection in store too that is where they messed up big time other than that they can't really control the situation and that sucks, I to was worried but the week I got mine it was 79-80 and my lippies were lil sweaty and shiny but still perfect and that went away when I popped them in the freezer for a minute

The heat is not why most with damaged lipsticks received them that way. If what you said was true then someone like myself that received my first order with all 3 lipsticks (and other items) on a hot Georgia day that was well above the temps you mentioned then all 3 lipsticks should have been melted and damaged. They were not. All were subjected to the same conditions with in the same box. My first replacement arrived on a cooler day (temps were in the low 70's, cloudy and rainy day) and was received in the morning. It was sent overnight. It too was damaged. The replacement I received yesterday arrived perfect...it was already in the mid to high 90's (due to humidity the temp was measured at 102 at the time of delivery). It was not shipped overnight. So in my case the temperature doesn't sound like the culprit. Even Julia Nielsen, the Executive Director - Online Customer Service (my complaints were escalated to her to my surprise) admitted that they believe the issue was related to a manufacturing issue and that is why they initiated the 2nd stock order. I don't know if they got it fixed with this new batch since someone else says their lipstick arrived damaged yesterday with the later batch number on it. Let's hope that most of them are though.

I too doubt the heat has anything to do with sweaty and/or melty lipsticks. The old school matte formula does not have a lot of melt to it to begin with. Which is why people often complain about it tugging on your lips.

Think about it. If 90 degrees was all it took for lipstick to melt none of us could wear it at all. I mean my body temp is 98ish degrees. Lipsticks with a lot of slip and slide to them go on smoother and don't last nearly as long~ you could convince me those were melty tho still, by nature of being worn on body and having to withstand close to 100 degrees, you couldn't convince me heat alone causes these problems. Regular lipsticks would arrive in liquid form if heat was all it took and these mattes are known to be long lasting while worn. I know many of you gals report lipsticks sweating, a problem I have yet to encounter thank the heavens, but I think I would think sweating was condensation more than my lipstick melting. Crayons don't sweat before melting and they are basically wax and dye which is pretty darn similar. Harder wax but still wax and dye.

I totally believe any white waxy goop on the lipstick is from the mold OR from an extra layer of something used to buffer between imprint {I do not know how they are manufactured so just guessing} Either way I cancelled my order cus the stress of waiting for my black box was too much for me so I needn't deal with quality control issues. I am hoping all you gals get your things in good shape.

When I got home yesterday...I couldn't wait to wipe off my lips and put on RRB!!! I am so loving this color on me and mad I didn't get a BU (I didn't even know people did that..LOL) So now I am on the hunt for another RRB at a reasonable price, or for a dupe and it must be matte. I'll get UTA for the fall/winter but I prefer mattes for the spring and summer. Anything else adds too much shimmer to my already oil skin
