RiRi Hearts MAC Holiday Collection (December 12, 2013)

[AutumnMoon]

yea! I thought the same thing . I get the worst Migraines and Nausea 

I've had migraines since I was 17. I'm told that menopause will help, especially since my period us one (of many) of my triggers. Now I'm counting down the years... Although I did get some relief after my eye doctor noticed some swelling behind my eyes. Turns out it was caused by pseudo tumor ceribri. Now I'm on meds that cuts dine the swelling and my migraines are getting better.

 

[LouGarner]

I guess I'll wait until Pleasure Bomb is at Nordstrom.

i don't know why i torture myself with these damn waiting rooms. I mean come on and it's only for RiRi collections. i could have stayed my ass in the bed and got it from Nordstrom like i did with the fall collection.

Aww, I feel for you!

Menopause is so awesome to not have to go through that time any more, but

it does have other issues like --->

I seriously thought after all the complaints from the last time, that MAC would have made it such a good experience for their customers. After today, I am convinced that they don't really care at all.

Lippies all sold out. I had no idea it was launching today. When will it launch in stores?

Can someone confirm when the collection will be at other online retailers? I apologized if it's already been posted. I'm just livid right now.

Ladies, please read the title of the thread.

Wow PRORIRI? Really? SMH I feel bad for the pros that had to pay shipping...

All they have to do is create a normal account so they don't have to pay shipping. That's what i did. It's not hard really :dunno:

So I just called a macys counter and was told they aren't releasing it on the 12, that it's just mac stores?

They're retarded :durr:

 

[Erinaceina]

Sorry that the waiting room's been such a catastrophe for people yet again. As the collection's not going to release online here before it's out in stores (I think), I'll just be taking myself into town bright and early next Thursday. I only want the two lipsticks (Pleasurebomb and BGRR), and I'm really hoping for some lip swatches of the latter on fair skin between now and then.

As I'd thought that the collection was out this week, I had a bit of extra money to spend this week (I do any makeup shopping when I do my groceries, so my groceries tend to be squeezed in favour of new pretties). So I bought myself Perky PP, Honeylove, and NARS Deep Throat. I've only worn Perky so far and I absolutely love it. It's the first cream eyeshadow I've ever had that works on me, and the colour is just gorgeous. But I also think I need a new brush to go with it (the 239 wasn't ideal). And so my wish list grows… It's just as well I only want the 2 lipsticks from this collection.

Last year I was on medication that put me in temporary menopause to try to shrink fibroids. O man those hot flashes were crazyy!!! I would always feel it coming because the back of my neck would get that prickly heat feeling, then I'd be in a sweat. Then alcohol would trigger my hot flashes too. If I took a swallow of alcohol I would be pouring sweat in 10 minutes, makeup dripping and all. I just stopped meeting my friends for drinks at that time. That was the worse part besides feeling emotional out of the blue.

I think that "queue" is bullshit. I think they pull people at random to be honest. There is no way Customer #457 can get in and order TWO times when Customer #349 didn't even select their items yet.

i agree!
i clicked on at 11:57 and didn't get on until 12:15 and all the lippies, except riri woo, were sold out! while some of the girls on here were able to checkout twice in the same time. its completely random! and i was using my iphone, ipad, and mac book with 2 browsers open waiting patiently and not manually refreshing!

 

[Nibeya Muse]

it wouldnt be so bad if we were getting a discount. but to pay retail and shipping when everyone else in the world is getting free shipping is out right wrong, you shouldnt have to create a whole other account just to get what everyone else is getting.. MAC make me damn sick..not to mention them damn lip sticks sold out in 15 minutes

 

[Msfaszion]

Yea me too but I could never afford a brand new one with those damn new prices. I have to buy pre-loved ones

Yes and even those are pricey … I'm a obsessed though so I have a list of consignment shops, along with being a member on a purse board … that I do good when I have the funds.

 

[smileyt06]

I'm just praying that everyone gets what they want from the pro stores or counters because she will have big problems if we don't lol

 

[Amby79]

I'm going to MAC tomorrow and knocking down all the lipsricks, then walking out lol. I'm kidding, I won't take it out on the employees, especially if they help me get pb and bgr Lmtao Jees I typed that like 5times stupid HTC sense

Yeah I got in at 11:57 am, and checked out by 12:02. I actually happened to be in already but was constantly refreshing another browser. Thankfully I had the other minimized so I could alternate between the two. I was able to go back in and make another purchase several times if I wanted too while others on the board stil could not get in. I think it's pure luck.

It's true, when I was able to checkout so quickly I thought they finally stepped their game up. I almost feel sorry for getting backups while some didn't even get one. Hope everybody eventually gets what they wanted from this collection.

Spoke to a MAC rep who compared Heaux and Pleasure Bomb for me. She said the two are similar and that PB is less red but more berry. If you like Heaux you'll like Pleasure Bomb. Just wanted to share that. The info will probably help me make my final decision.

I LIVE for Heaux (I think it may be my fave of the year). I have two of those and so happy I got my hands on PB, can't wait for my delivery. I meant to do expedited shipping but its ok

Mac is full of it but I was surprised that I got the txt 5mins before the collection launched and the email about half hr after. They usually take hours to send the txt and email.

I said the same thing, very surprised by the early text. My email came right after my confirmation so like a quarter after. Thats good for them.

i don't know why i torture myself with these damn waiting rooms. I mean come on and it's only for RiRi collections. i could have stayed my ass in the bed and got it from Nordstrom like i did with the fall collection.

The waiting rooms were hit and miss. First collection took me no more than 15 minute. Summer like 4 hours and a restock. Fall was the worst for me, still never got nude or diamonds but its all good. God knew i couldn't sit here all day in front of nobody's devices for some lipstick. He was on my side and I'm just happy this mess is ova!

 

[zahrabeauty]

I wasn't able to get BGRR but i managed to get the other stuf i wanted.

 

[TaiB]

i did the same before i realized there was a code. did that since the hayley's collection

 

[Lipstickwh0re]

Jees I typed that like 5times stupid HTC sense

Flipping over tables. LMAO YES.

 

[mekaboo]

All they have to do is create a normal account so they don't have to pay shipping. That's what i did. It's not hard really

I don' t think they are saying it is hard per se. Of course, anyone can do that. They probably just didn't think about it before hand. When you already have to scramble unnecessarily to get products, fool around in a "waiting room", get kicked out..etc, most don't think about it because they are just trying to get their products. MAC, should offer the same free shipping to Pros, when there is no discount being applied. In my opinion...

Erine has always been helpful with questions and make up tips/applications.

For this to be your first, I find you rude.
