MAC Alluring Aquatic Collection (May 22, 2014)

[Audrey C]

Yeah I doubt it. There's probably a bunch of people who work together to order all of the products and then resell them. And I can't imagine they make enough of a profit on some items to do it without a pro discount. Obviously some things are marked up more than others but still.. Maybe MAC and eBay could get together and ban LE cosmetic sales or something.. but eBay is making $ off this too.

MAC needs to crack down on Pro memberships/purchases, IMO. I'm in no way opposed to the Pro discount or even early purchase ability providing that they actually better manage the process so that Pro members can't have a bunch of accounts or place multiple orders. That's being done for resale purposes and that's in no way aligned with the purpose of the program. There's little profit to be had on eBay for those who buy at full price; they take a risk and they're welcome to the profits as far as I'm concerned. That's different than buying below retail with the express intent of reselling.

If MAC can't or won't manage the program better, then I think launching to everyone at once is preferable. However, that has the downside of taking a privilege away from the majority of pro users who are respecting the rules of the program.

It is a must! Also it would be nice if you'd pm a fellow NW lol. It is ok if you won't. Worth a try lol!

I'll send you a PM.

People are pissed on MACs facebook. Why are y'all surprised? And why do you keep coming back for more if you know it's always going to be like this?

 

[audraMUA]

Sea worship gone but the lovely golden and refined golden still available. I couldn't have predicted this lol

I could have. Lol everyone on Instagram was OBSESSED with this collection. It's beautiful, and it's ED which is always a favorite.

The crazy part about it is stubhub has numerous tickets for jacked up prices. It's crazy. I really think they have professional people they pay to snatch the tickets up just to jack the prices up later.

Yup. It would be one thing if I was just slow as hell, and other people got to them first, and were actually going. But there's just tons on Stubhub. Rows on rows on rows lol. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but something's up.

if mac ever does a beyonce collab that'll be a mess lol

Totally agreed [@]Audrey C[/@]. Would be sad if it had to come to that because I do support the Pro program in general.

 

[MandyVanHook]

I wonder if there are any Nars blushes that might have color similar to AS?

 

[JulieDiva]

Im wondering if the bay will ever start selling mac online. They have chanel online now. I may be wrong but I dont think they used too.

No you are not wrong!!!!

I emailed the Bay.com last year, begging them to sell Chanel makeup online, since i do not have Chanel in my city, and we can't order online from American stores anymore...Chanel makeup i mean.

a few months ago.....Chanel pops up online....SO happy!!

I'll send you a PM.

YAY!

i think the color is dupable, but the finish is what makes it unique, maybe?

I don't think that there are any Pros who have multiple accounts. I mean multiple Pro accounts. That would require a fake identity, etc.

Most Pros, however, have a Pro account and a regular account. If a collection has no Pro discount, I usually order through my regular one as it means that I don't have to pay for shipping.

 

[Mac-Guy]

YAY!

Sent.

I completely agree.


I have tried to get tickets to concerts many times in the last 2 years...only to be told...NO TICKETS...like 1 minute after they go onsale! like I am there, ready with my gun ciocked. and I have friends doing the same.

Go on ticket re sale sites the next day...and bam tickets galore for much more $$$$$$$.
the worst is these concerts are for my children.


sorry kids, Mommy tried hard but the vultures got to them first!!!!!!!

 

[breatheonbeat]

i guess i gave up on sleeping btw. i stopped being physically tired after i ordered. i am watching laguna beach. i cried when they graduated because i am mentally tired. what is wrong with me

 

[rocksteadybaby]

Beyonce In the Elevator Collection lmao

 

[vaisforluvrs]

Oh please no. I don't think I could take another collab like Riri.

 

[JenMakeupHair]

I also got suckered into buying refined golden bronzing powder because the packaging was just to hard to resist! :eyelove:

I did the same thing

 

[Liya2007]

I knew this collection was going to sell out fast but I was still surprised by how fast. The other thing I really didn't think Seduced At Sea would sell out before Aphrodites shell!!

​Because one of the Eyeshadows wasn't in stock (coming soon) I think some other products will also get restocked. fingers crossed.
