hahah! After my boyfriend first saw me wait up for a launch (I think it was UD's Book Of Shadows 3), he insisted that he would stay up on launches for me whenever I need him to because he is more calm and he's fine without sleep, but I'm a monster without sleep >;) I still stay up though, but we switch "shifts" during the night so I would sleep for 2 hrs and then he would call me and then he would sleep for 2 hr and we just go until we get it.
Now that boyfriend a keeper! :)

I'm just super ecstatic! I called my boyfriend complaining about my lipsticks taking long to come & he said he ordered everything from the collection this morning! I guess he finally got the hint of what I wanted for Christmas lol I'm giving away that ugly makeup bag tho lol
I tried to get my bf to order for me on the day of riri, but he didn't make it in time to snag the lipsticks. Your bf is so sweet!!

awwww that's amazing!
 
Exactly!!! even if I could get to the store it will just be pure madness especially for riri collection. I tried to get my bf to order for me on the day of riri, but he didn't make it in time to snag the lipsticks. Your bf is so sweet!!
He tries the only downside is I have to wait on line or stalk sites for game launches lol

It really doesn't make sense to go by the swatches. The name is the only thing that makes sense because internet swatches are wonky anyway. If your order confirmation has two specific names then that is what you should get. I doubt Nordstroms would be foolish enough to do it any other way. Swatches are a guide and that's it.
Exactly... it's not like the people who are in charge of packing these shipments can see the color of the lipstick inside the box. They would most assuredly pack your box according to the name of the item on the order sheet. I would always order by the name on a website and not the swatch. We have seen those get mixed up TONS of times on every website. That's not an uncommon issue... Shit, MAC's even done it with their own products on their own website! LOL

lol I had the same problem with my bf. I ended up buying those ear plugs construction works use and it works like a charm. :p
I'll need to get a pair for myself and one for the baby. Lol.
Ah ha ha!! Too funny about your bf worsening the night! Lol
He left for work really early this morning and called me later to apologize for his snoring. Lol. I told him at least I got the lipsticks I wanted and that if I hadn't I might've kicked him off the bed :p

Is it common at MAC pro stores and MAC counters to only sell 1 product per person for LE launches? I had no idea. I talked to a MAC girl at my local Pro store in toronto today and she told me that it's only 1 per person and no doubles. I do like the idea of it because I feel it gives you more of a chance to get what you want without people getting lots of BUs or a bunch to resell just had no idea they did that

hey hun I went to K.P. also and was the second person in line. I suggest u get there very early becauae it waa a weekday people didn't get there super early like me and #1 but by the time it was a hr left to open the line got crazy. Noy to mention they has three associates so they only let us in 3 at a time and they give the early people a lil extra time to privately shop. The manager also came out and gave the entire line swatches on our hands like 10mins before. Go early hun.
Thanks for the heads up. I am all set for this collection though. The only reason why I would probably be there is if my sister asks for one. I don't want any BU's of these two lippies. I gave my self a 2 lipstick minimum for this collection. Christmas list is mighty long. Hey, question. Will I be able to do B2M with the Punk couture collection since it seems like it wont be limited packaging? Were the lippies selling at $16.50? I am doing my best to keep spending to a minimum on gifts to myself :)

It's only for these Rihanna collections. They don't do it for any of the other LE collections.

Here's Pleasure Bomb & Bad Girl RiRi on me (I'm not wearing makeup - other than the liquid liner I apparently didn't wash off properly :/ - so just look at the lip colour). BGRR is pretty similar to my lip colour it seems like! (My lips no colour are bottom left.) PB isn't as bright as I'd hoped (damn ig filters) but still a great fuschia which is great, fuschia and I didn't get along well previously.

I really think that bad girl riri and the wet and wild lipstick in mochalicious may be dupes or really close....I got it after being disappointed by the MAC launch the first time. Will post side by side swatches soon if I receive my order.:heart:

For me, Mochalicious is way darker and browner than when I tried on BGRR.
