I hope you're able to snag your stuff at your lunch break. I'm sure it won't be one of those instantaneous sell outs. :)
I got it! Finally I have some luck online. RHPS on the other hand...I have this sinking feeling I'm screwed :( and I can't take Monday off to stalk. Mac gave me an estimated arrival date of 10/6. Which is usually how long it takes, so I chose 2nd day shipping. Damn! Where are those codes when you need them?

Hey there! I'm on my lunch break catching up on the thread and I got to order the palette! That's cool that you used to live here. Because it's such a small city, I was worried we wouldn't get a lot of the palettes or any at all. So, how's Monterrey? I've never been but I have a brother that lives in Nuevo laredo and goes to Monterrey often.
Yay that you were able to get it!!!

Monterrey is a big city surrounded by other municipalities that make a very large metro area. Some parts are really nice and some parts suck. You should come someday!

The MAC stores do suck... They get collections in very limited product quantities, they don't have specific release dates, or the SAs don't know them, they do some special events for a few select people before the launch and some things do sell out at those, and also if I tell them to call me or hold something for me, they never do. After Strength selling out in less than 2 hours at a special event, I decided I wouldn't wait for things to get here. I would buy everything online if I can, which is still sometimes a full month before they arrive here! I just buy all my staples and things from the permanent collections here.

I'm glad you were able to get it! I miss the codes too and best of luck on the RHPS launch. Who knows, maybe we'll get lucky and it'll be a Simpsons and not an Osbournes. :)

Don't remind me of the Osbournes... I'm still badly burned by that one!

Sorry to hear that! It was a quick sell out, that's for sure.
Yeah, and I didn't think it would sell out so fast, but it did! I them saw it at Nordstrom's website and I ordered it at least 10 times, but they cancelled my orders every single time due to selling out... I then called Nordstrom's stores to have it shipped, but they weren't shipping those due to high demand. Then it sells out here in a matter of hours as well! I finally got both blushes from custom purchases on Makeup Alley and Facebook.

Which led to the incessant stalking this morning! I didn't want to chance the palette selling out soon!

Oh that sucks! I got real lucky with that collection during online launch. One of the girls at a counter I frequent said they only got 3 of each lipstick and 5 of each blush.

And then, you see them going for exorbitant amounts of money on Facebook groups and ebay...

I am really trying hard not to buy the palette.....
I think I'm going to sit down right now and make the palette out of my existing shadows and then rub it into my eyeballs so that I can SEE that I don't need it.
