RiRi Hearts MAC Holiday Collection (December 12, 2013)

I'm loving the packaging. I think it's really pretty

I wonder why MAC didn’t just set their site up to do pre-orders for the RiRi collaboration this year. They would have determined the supply vs. demand and could have saved customers the headache of going through the dreaded online waiting room and standing in lines at stores with limited product. I would love to do a pre-order right now, pay for it in advance and wait for it to arrive at my door in December. Wishful thinking I guess. lol. I just think this whole thing could have been planned a bit better and would have resulted in a better shopping experience. I am glad it’s almost over.

I guess that this option would be viable only if the items could be produced on short notice as I assume pre-orders are not done several months in advance. It would be an interesting tidbit to know, that is for sure!

Brilliant Idea. But then again they want us struggling, running around like crackheads to get their product. They get off on it.

Sorry ladies, just thinking out loud. It has been exhausting with three RiRi collections with so much drama. I need less stress in my life and MAC gets too much of my money to be stressing me out. LOL!

Actually, the drugstore e/s were copying higher end packaging of the 80s. Prescriptives, which launched in 1979, had e/s quads set up like that long before that layout showed up in the d/s brands. I still have one i got in the ? mid-80s ? of matte e/s ranging from deep plum to pink.

I think it's so cool how you still have makeup from the 80s. Don't know if you'd be up to it, but I'd love for you to show us sometime!

That would be the logical thing to do.

I thought of that too and while it would be great for us. I don't think it would be so great for MAC. I think they would make less money that way, some of us buy more when we feel that there is a risk of it selling out. I was guilty of this when I purchased HK. It is a nice product but to be honest if I could have pre ordered it, I would have passed on it.I almost took it out of my shopping bag but I knew it would have taken too long with how slow the site was that day. Plus, since it is a collab with Rihanna, I think they need items to sell out fast and have long lines in stores. It looks better on her, I mean how embarrassing would it be for a celebrity to know their name didn't moved products as quickly or cause such a frenzy.

I notice not many people buy it but I didn't realize it was that bad! Maybe w it being promoted w Rih's name, people will buy it? /;

Buy it, try it, then return it!

I pre-ordered some lipsticks from Coloured Raine, their popular colors keep selling out so they introduced this on their site on Monday. I purchased the ones I wanted and now all I have to do is wait for them to ship later this month. No stress involved. I agree with you though. MAC is looking out for MAC. They should have just made a bit more product to satisfy the demand. Some people have paid some outrageous ebay prices to get their hands on stuff! Did they not realize how crazy this would get.

Packaging is still tacky but it the Pleasure Bomb on temptalia's website and it looks pretty nice. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.

Is there any hope that the eyeshadow palettes from this collection won't suck? I am really loving her cocoa quad from fall.

Right now I only want a couple of the ls, and I would get a palette if they were decent quality. I fear, however, that they will be horrible.

Doubtful, as the product is completely different.
