I ordered Heroine for one of my friends and I finally got the shipping confirmation last morning... for a while there I was worried that it would get back-ordered or something. -_-
Anywho, she'd ordered the lippie back when it came out in the sets (I think) but long story short, it got back-ordered and eventually her order got cancelled. Hopefully it'll arrive by next Saturday so I can give it to her as a (belated) Christmas present.

That plus the mini lip tars I bought. I've been trying to cajole her into trying them but she hates using lip brushes... looks like that's gonna change.

i got the 4 pc and 12 pc of the mini lip tars! i think more brands should do mini lippies cuz i'd feel more comfortable buying sets vs the full size. maaaaan them lip tars could outlast the dmn energizer bunny. i wont lie...i hate lip brushes too but im tryin to practice more with them for precise applications. other than that i dab my lip tars on n clean em up wit liners. sebastian is my faaaaavorite tho.

I only own two and you're right, they're probably going to outlast ME.

I'm not a big fan of lip brushes either but I don't mind using 'em to put the product on. I'd really like a set for myself but I've been buying so much ish this month that it's going to take me a while to get around to buying new stuff.
Ooh... the 12 pc set is still available in Sephora maybe I won't have to wait.

Lol I am glad you will survive. I love it, I think it is a very flattering purple. It sucks when ups takes forever but hey at least you aren't in a rush.

Well UPS wouldn't honor the Next day air. So I called them, they said they couldn't do anything. Then I recalled spoke to someone else, and they were able to help me. They said they would give me a call back before the days out for my pickup at the facility. Well I called every 3 hours incase. Finally at 7pm my time, I call the lady informs me it has been on the shelf waiting for pickup since 1pm. She then informs me they close in thirty min. I had to rush there, but finally I got it.

That really sucks. Any idea why they didn't want to honor the overnight? I had no trouble with that on mine so it sounds like a UPS screw up. I am glad to be done with shipments for awhile as this holiday season seems to be messing up everyone. But, at least you got it and didn't have to pay for shipping.

I have Belladonna, Katricia and Hoochie and love them all. I really love Belladonna, I can't find anything like it so I have been using it sparingly.

I still wouldn't buy that ish lol. Me and my bootleg heroine lipsticks would be just fine lol

 

[DeeDee2013]

Hm, now that I've acquired the infamous heroine, I'm underwhelmed. It's not what I expected. In fact, I have other purple lippies are much prettier. However, I'm keeping it.

Honestly. I have no idea. My package was ontime and everything. It was exceptioned and then held. So I was forced to call and see what happened. Oh yes I am just glad I didn't have to pay shipping.

So, I ordered 2 Heroines (1 for me and 1 for a gift) and yesterday there were 2 packages on my porch. I though they must have put 1 in each box but no, 1 box had my order of 2 Heroines, the other had a Heroine and a Diva. Both had the same order number and my address on the packing slips. They only charged me for my order. Well, my guilty conscience won't let me keep the mistaken order, and honestly, I don't want extra lipstick hanging around (trying to get my collection down), so I called and MAC is sending a prepaid return label and I'm sending the extra order back. I'd hate to think someone didn't get their order because of me (though MAC is good about replacing lost orders, that happened to me once).

I bought the one that was released last April w/ backups and those were my thoughts exactly. It's a pretty purple but I feel it doesn't stand out as much as I would like it to do so (NC42), I prefer strong woman.

I still can't find Shameless! LOL. Everywhere I go the matte balms are picked clean.

Same.
