That's exactly how I feel. I doubt they intentionally released the palette today. Like they said, it was a glitch in their system. My guess is they intended to release it today but changed their minds, but the IT team didn't get the message or forgot. I personally didn't buy it when I could have, but I'm pretty happy that everyone will get the chance to purchase it on the official release date. Seems fair to me.
Lol... you don't know why people are mad? It's because they announced to the ENTIRE nation on social media that it would be released the 7th, NOT the 1st. Therefore, people were waiting until the 7th to place an order. It's definitely a fault on Lorac's end, which is why people are so upset that they didn't get the opportunity to order the palette on the 1st, like some were able to. Like I stated before, it's not the peoples fault, it's LORAC's. It's the matter of people avoiding the frenzy of the 7th (site crashing, possibility of it being sold out), due to Lorac's technical problems. It's not really a "fair" game if you get to order it before anyone else, and then Lorac makes it unavailable for the rest of the people who waited...
I just mean in the sense that mistakes are made all of the time @ idky ppl are all up in a frenzy. Especially if the pallette will still be available. I even stated yesterday I was still stalking the pallette despite their announcement. Is all not fair in love and makeup :'(
^Well said. It's totally not fair, and, just to clarify, I don't think any of us were mad or upset at the people who got to order! That would be petty as hell. Rage is definitely directed at LORAC here. But it's a bit ridiculous to be like "why you mad" after getting to order early after the very public announcement of this releasing on the 7th. That's all.
It's possible that they did it on purpose, but I logged on at around 7:00 PT and the website was glitchy even then. I couldn't decide if I really wanted it, so I opened and closed the website a few times. It would tell me it was in stock, then out of stock, then insufficient stock, then in stock again. I figured Lorac's IT caught on and was trying to fix the page as I was browsing. Who knows! I hope they're not playing games, as I don't think Lorac has that reputation (yet), but you never know with companies nowadays.
Unfortunately, between this and the RHPS, I've learned the hard way to not trust "official" release dates.
Never trust "the man" lol.
Maybe I should rephrase... less why u mad.. more why be upset because others capitalized off a mistake made by some poor IT guy. It wasn't intentionally done by the company. I didn't intend to imply that people where mad at people who ordered early... It's not as if LORAC has a history of mess ups like this. I wasn't upset yesterday when some people said they were able to order... it was just like cool for them, I will stalk tomorrow.
That's what I want to know too. They posted a real nice pic of them on their instagram earlier but nada in the interwebs.I wanna know where all the quads are
But it's not unavailable, you're just going to have to wait a few more days. I don't see what the big deal is. It was a fuck up on the site.
It's CURRENTLY unavailable right now to those who are waiting for the OFFICIAL launch date on the 7TH. I don't think it's a "big deal", if you read my comment - I stated exactly what you said, that it was LORAC's fault, and a "fuck up" on the site. GEEZ people. READ what I said. People are upset about the possibility of it selling out and the site crashing. Those who ordered avoided that whole ordeal completely due to LORAC's technically difficulties. I'm sure if MAC said they were releasing a LE collection on the 7th, but it went up randomly on the 1st, there would be more of a frenzy and people making it a "big deal".
I wanted to order all but one. Hell, probably all of em!
The above has been sent out by LORAC to its newsletter subscribers.
Apparently there's a heck of a lot more to this collection. The quads we saw in the preview are all in one set for $35! Kaching!
