@RayRay88 isn't she a member as well?
*raises hand* I'm janineish on IG. Yes, I sold my Riri backups. No, I didn't find them easily. I drove to 3 different locations in San Diego and the last pair I purchased from a macys out of state and paid shipping for, after calling over 30 mac locations to try to find them. So you may look at me like I'm one of those "evilbayers" but if you look at the Riri thread I was also actively trying to help others find the lipsticks as well, letting everyone know what stores still had them and personally helping many find their items through pm's. I love Specktra and I always try to help here as much as possible.

OKAY well for all you ladies that ordered from Macy's: I checked my tracking number through UPS and it originally stated I would receive my product on January 3rd... I took a look on Sunday and noticed it had reached my city's post office and the NEW expected delivery date would be December 30th (today)... but I noticed that the status still didn't say "out for delivery"... I went to the USPS website and entered in the same tracking number and noticed that the expected delivery date is JANUARY 4TH!!! So I call USPS and I'm on hold for about 20 minutes... a woman gets on the line and I express my confusion. After giving her my tracking number, she tells me I should be getting the package on the 4th. I ask her, "Well if my package is at your facility, am I able to pick it up?" "No, because it needs to be processed." I ask her... "So my delivery date keeps changing, and now that it's at your facility, you're telling me it takes four days for you guys to delivery it from one side of town to the other?" She proceeds to tell me that because it is standard mail, it could take up to 14 business days for me to receive my package so the fact that its showing up Jan 4th is actually "good". Am I supposed to be happy or something that you're holding my lipsticks hostage? So much for wearing PC for new years!!!
I'm thinking the same thing will happen to me. My order also says it will be delivered today, was originally scheduled for the 3rd but doesn't say out for delivery. Guess that's why everyone here says not to order from macys. It's a good thing my enabler, A.K.A my hubby, convinced me to go into the store and purchase everything Thursday morning just in case something like this happened.

Thanks! I went back again and applied Dark Outsider CSG over NYX Black Berry using my lip brush. Wowie wow. DRAMA! That is one dramatic statement lip. The gloss adds all kinds of depth to it. It smeared a little even with the lip brush, but that just may be because my application of Black Berry wasn't uniform to begin with. I think I like applying gloss with a brush because I have more control. I normally just smear it on. Then I find myself smooshing my lips together to blend it with my lipstick, but that causes some of the glossiness to disappear. I didn't feel the need to do that with the brush application.   As a side note, my lips are still stained a fuchsia color from Punk Couture and the pink is slightly peeking through the glossy black. I kinda like it.
this sounds so pretty thanks for the info cartoonchic

I thought about doing that, but I knew I would get them eventually. :/ I did go to the store and buy Haute Core, Jet Boy, Sensual Sparks from the MN collection, and Lightscapade and Studio Fix Fluid foundation. I swatched PC & Instigator to see if I should buy BUs of each but I just assumed I'd be getting them today. I know I will end up getting them, I'm just a brat when it comes to my makeup!!! Lol plus I have been having car issues and getting makeup makes me feel better when I am stressed. (Is there such a thing as a healthy addiction???)
I'll just have to be patient and wait for them to arrive!!! Good thing is that I ordered a new 15 palette insert and a new 6 palette insert from Mac and both of those will be arriving Friday so it looks like I'll be getting all my MAC stuff in one day. XMAS ALL OVER AGAIN!!!
I'm just bitter because I wanted to wear PC on NYE but I have all the MAC mini pigment sets so I guess I'll just do one of the glitters on my lips instead!

Are you kidding me? I will be beyond pissed! People and their dishonesty really get me! So effing disrespectful! Plus so unfair to you! :sheep: are you kidding? this also happened to me! my little black box went to some house who now refuses to give it back, UPS said they will send a security officer and then will involve law enforcement ...what ever that means, all I know is I have 4 lipsticks that are sold out paid for and on someone else' lips! :censored: :wtf:

Yes those are me as well, but I still have half that stuff as it never even sold. Not that it matters right. Nothing was said but it's definitely implied. Sorry but there's nothing that says a Specktra member can't sell backups/items on IG. There are plenty of members here reselling in the Clearance Bin, yet that never gets looked down upon. If I had listed my items here instead of on IG I suppose that would be more "acceptable."
