I just bought Nude Dip and Negligee on Nordstrom. I was meh on the palette until I actually saw it up for sale. Better to buy it and maybe return it than pass on it and watch it sell out.
I hate returning and can count on one hand the number of times I have...BUT...you're totally right. When you can't see it in person, it's going to sell out in the blink of an eye, no choice but. I'm a little iffy on Negligee and Softcore, but I'm going to get them from Nordstrom and hope for the best.

That is, IF Nordstrom ever get the cheek duos up. Might have to put on a pot of coffee...

I know what you mean, I had everything in my basket at NM and when I went to pay all I had was Negligee so I purchased Stroked when I really wanted Sofecore

I intended to leave at that. I hate chasing products.

So I caved I just purchased the Quad (my first TF eye)

For my rant on TF and their Bullsh** must sign for packages. Must corporations will provide a release and if you live in a virtual no crime zone as I do, it is pretty safe to use. It cracks me up. I will order a pair of Sophia Webster shoes that are crazy stupid expense and not have to sign for from NM or BG. BG is my first choice if they have them since it saves a boatload in taxes. But for a 32.00 nail polish or a 44.00 mascara, sign or you don't get it. I am BFF with my FedEx guy. But he has to play by the rules. So not home, leave a note and it is TS if it from TF. I can order from Selfridges, leave a note and DHL will leave it. But not TF. Gee, anybody else out there think TF needs to work on their customer service? Or I am just being sensitive???? I also think their recent BS on first saying they don't have the product, then they do, and then they don't and then do again....bite me comes to mind. Do you think I am cranky????
No you don't sound cranky. Maybe you are like me in that I expect at the very least good customer service. A company such as TF should have no less than great "we're here to please you" customer service. TF has awesome products. But they also have many that do not warrant the cost. TF, your products are not cheap, you should value your customers. It makes no sense to me why any business does not make customer service a top priority. I am not a business person. However it seems simple enough, provide great cs & the customers you have now will likely become loyal customers & help build a sound customer base. Those people will bring in more customers by word of mouth & your client will continue to grow. If your cs sucks you lose many of the customers you have & by word of mouth bad cs spreads ten times faster & many of those "might have been" customers will never bother with your business. Why? Because your cs sucks. TF, raise the bar in your cs dept. Perhaps I have it all wrong because I really don't know jack about running a business. See now that's cranky. I have to order TF because I'm almost positive it isn't sold anywhere in TN. But I don't order from their site. We have Nordies, finally. But many cosmetic brands such as TF & Burberry Beauty aren't carried in the store. They do have a Chantecaille counter. I'm new to the brand so It's nice to be able to see the products. I like their loose powder & their blush is nice. Off topic has anyone purchased the 15 yr anniversary e/s trio? I had to blindly order it as the site said it wasn't available at my store. I hope the colors are as pretty as the swatches I've seen online because I ordered 2 of them. I want to give my sister one. I love the color that has the elephant on it. I can relate to having a box sitting on my porch with an expensive item/s inside. Thankfully I live in a very low crime area & I'm home most days. It does seem silly to have to sign in order to get a lipstick or such. I do a lot of online shopping, especially Sept through Christmas. Our family has a lot of fall birthdays. I'm also out shopping much more. So I do get a bit uneasy given the amount of shipments to be delivered. My husband doesn't see stacked boxes. He sees stacked $ being sucked out of our account:) Silly man, he should do the gift shopping. Back on topic I'm still not sure about the quad since I can't play with it first. I guess if everywhere sells out then I guess the decision is made for me. Ok enough 4:00AM babble. Goodnight

I know most of you complain of having to sign for your order and with me it's opposite. When Saks or NM dump my expensive stuff I ordered just in the lobby of our apartment complex that anyone could take it, even people from the street outside I GO CRAZY. even though it's said signature required. I never have problem with UPS because i have the sweetest nicest ups guy ever but FEDEX i hate so much. I have had so many packages stolen I lost count... my neighbors steal like there is no tomorrow. first door neighbor stole my flowerbomb order. litteraly 5 minutes after it was "delivered" she grabbed it. couple of days later I smell her in the hallway yes I could recognize easily flowerbomb.... and what am I going to do? SO now I make sure I always get deliveries trough ups plus I have their prime membership so I can reroute packages to my hubbys work or reschedule them to make sure I am home

Wow, some neighbor! That's awful. I definitely understand what you're saying but then there should be the option at checkout for whether you do or don't want signature required. And if it was customer-specified drivers should be required to comply or pay the replacement costs themselves.

I never did see the cheek duos or the mascara come up on Nordstrom last night. Anybody else? I wonder if they'll be getting them.

I'm glad I finally ordered nude dip on Nordstroms. This time I didn't procrastinate as long. I kept debating before if I REALLY needed it and it sold out on me in minutes twice!

I waited too long. I debated and debated, and decided I didn't want it, and then this morning I changed my mind. Oh well, my fault, I'll certainly survive, lol.
 
I'm pretty irritated. I waited for Nordstroms, because they're my prefered store. I asked them twice what day they planned on release it. They said 9/05. Now they released it early and it's sold out. I guess I'll just pass this one up. But I'm pretty pissed at Nordstroms.

TF holiday may be a skip if I don't start using my cream es. I have 3 and 2 are BNIB while the one that I think was used once Noir Absolute seems like it is drying out on me Pink Haze, Illicit and Noir Absolute in that order

Totally agree with you. I was stalking them for a month because a CS response on the E/S quad page initially said nude dip would be available AUGUST 1st! Then you heard Sept 5th and that was wrong too. I got sick of waiting and snagged Nude Dip & Stroked on Neimans, but I was hoping to get Softcore on Nordstrom and it's not up even though the rest of the collection went up last night.

I'm not sure what the best strategy is with these LE collections other than buy it immediately if you see it. It seems people have had problems no matter whether they pre-ordered, ordered directly from TF as soon as it came up, or stalked a department store.

Sneak peak of a couple of matte lippies from the Holiday Collection! http://instagram.com/p/sfcc4-yYyp/?modal=true

Apparently there's going to be a round-up of what's coming on Full Time Ford soon.

I have ordered two blushes and received only one. My credit card got charged for both blushes so tomorrow I will be calling to TF. I am dissapointed with TF site and will not be ordering from them again :(
OMG--The distribution via TF's web site has been nothing short of a mess. I hope it does appear in a separate mailing, but most places inform you of that when it
happens. SMH!!!

Karen who has the beauty blog just posted some really good pics of softcore. Her suggestion of using a shadow tapered brush for the darker was an "uh duh" moment for me....I think the tone of Negligee depends on your natural lip color. Lets face it some of us can wear nude lip shades and look so great. While others, me included, look like the walking dead. If TF sent two of your blushes in two packages you would have received two emails, one for each shipment. Has anyone tried the corrector pen who looks like Casper with pink undertones? Did it cover up those lovely too pink spots in the corner of your nose? I purchased the new concealer pen it arrived the other day. I am lucky, no dark circles to deal with. This is far better then using his stick foundation to conceal then his liquid foundation all over. I still think Kevyn Aucoin concealer is the best. Too bad it is such a pain to work with. I have no patience....like a gnat. I did try the black base with Chanel Strong over it. It is a really close match. As in I did one hand with TF Black Cherry and the other with my experiment. I used the good OPI basic black for the base coat over the real Chanel base coat first. Again topped it off with Seche. Patience is a virtue I have never acquired.....
I saw Karen's pics too and SC looked really good on her. Totally agree w/you about Negligee & natural lip color. As for the two email pkg shipment issue, assuming TF
is together enough to have done it correctly. They seem to be all over the map on this one.

@ Meddy, I think they will make perfect bases as well as wonderful on their own. Grabbed them today and have them in full vision to start using. They normally say out of sight out of mind.They are def beauties though. You ought to use yours as well and kudos to that sweet lady!
