RiRi Hearts MAC Fall Collection (October 3, 2013)

[Vandekamp]

i found it!! lol but now i lost my bad gal riri and my soar lipliner!! ughhh lol

I just gifted my BGRR this week to a Specktra friend. I hardly ever wore it and she wanted it more than me. I have RiRi Nude. I would love to swap for TTT.

 

[Vandekamp]

that's cheap there's one in there for $75. The stuff I see in there sometimes make me wonder. Like I saw something in there thats given for free going for $22, I thought it was odd.

I think the TTT lipstick is still in there. I saw it earlier today.

Someone in the CB is trying to sell TTT for $50. It only cost $16.

$50 for TTT is considered "cheap". I've seen them being sold for much higher, BN & used.

I bought this two weeks ago and let me tell you, I LOVE it! If you have Her Cocoa or Smoked Cocoa, this is going to look gorgeous paired with a smokey eye from either of those quads. I highly recommend getting it, it saved me from my impulse of buying Nude priced at $40 on eBay!


agreed! Not to mention it's permanent, and only $6!

Styled In Sepia is supposed to be a dead on dupe. It's still on the site.

$50 is CHEAP? I have never sold a BU. I've given it away or done a swap. I just gifted an extra TTT lip liner and a RiRi Woo lip liner for free to a Specktra to someone who wanted it. Why? Because I believe in karma. I friend gave me Pink Sprinkles a few weeks ago for free. Someone gave me a BU of Heaux and after desiring Strong Woman for months, someone PM and said they knew I had been looking for it and had a BNIB one to swap for another lipstick. I don't understand people who want to take advantage of people on Specktra. On IG, FB and EBay yes but not here. I guess it is whatever floats your boat. You'll never know when you will want something badly.

I agree with you 100% which is why I put cheap in parentheses. Some people put stock into items being LE & hard to find, hence the price jacking. I've been trying to get a reasonably priced Whisper of Gilt highlighter & I haven't seen one for under $100. I want it but it's not worth the price of a utility bill IMO. I guess it depends on how bad you want something you're willing to pay more.

ohhh I forgot about the bag. I'm calling my CCO now!

One seller on Specktra justified charging an exorbitant amount for RiRi Boy because she says she went thru a lot to get it. However, in the end she only paid $15 for it. Go figure.

 

[Laylay]

So sad that I didn't get RiriWoo in this packaging.. got the very first one that came out. All it has is Riri's signature across the side!

 

[Vandekamp]

I'm sorry I gave my TTT BU away. Damn. I would never pay $50 or $75 for another one.

I gotta say I get a little tired of seeing members demonised for the price they list items for (and no I'm not selling anything in the CB, or buying). Just because a price seems high to one person, that doesn't mean we're being taken advantage of. They will only be able to sell it at that price if someone is willing to pay it. And heaven knows we here know how difficult it can be to get some of these items. If someone stalked for 2 days for an item, or called dozens of stores until they found it, why shouldn't they take that into account? And it's just as much a buyers right to decide that not having to do those things is worth paying considerably more than retail price. Time has value, just like money does. Now if someone has a high price listing for something that's readily available at or near retail price, I'm going to roll my eyes at them for sure. But I know it will do them no good, so it doesn't bother me.

I respect your opinion. We'll just agree to disagree. And that's ok too.

I sorta agree but sorta don't. The example I can give with me is my Heaux backups and Yung Rapunxel. I paid I think 30 dollars via ebay and poshmark to get that lipstick and all my back ups except 1 which I got on MAC's site were in the 35-40 dollar range. I understand that some people are going to take advantage because MAC items are almost always LE especially collections. I totally get that but it isn't really fair because MAC isn't say Burberry or Gucci or something by Marc Jacobs. It's MAC. I spent the extra money those places because when YR came out I was in Canada and although I asked my auntie to buy it in the US she missed it and it sold out in less than 12 hours. With Heaux I regretted not getting more than one bu because it later became a shade I wear all the time. Do I think spending 30,35 or even 40 dollars on a 15 dollar lipstick is crazy? Yes. But I've always been the kind of person who if I want something and if I can find it reasonably priced even when the price is jacked up I'll buy it. At the same time this is preying on people. The people who sell on ebay do this purposely. As for people in the cb I still don't entirely understand that. We're a community and while I've seen some crazy prices I think that just highlights the idea that some people are still out for themselves at the end of the day. Although, I do wish MAC policed things a little bit better than limiting orders to 4 per item. You can just supply a new address to get around that.

Some prices are too high or just right to certain people. Still though, it isn't right because it's just makeup and should be something enjoyable and not something that practically costs a bill or that you have to mill over and justify because you didn't get there in time or people bought up everything and threw it on a third party site.

Well said. If the prices are jacked up on EBay that is fine but here in the CB, that is shameful IMO. As you said we are a community and we are here to help,each other and not take advantage of each other. The shoe will be on the other foot one day.

I love the CB, it can be so helpful.

I agree.And, 98% of the folks here are good and decent people who want to help each other. Here's a perfect example, I have been on the hunt for Strong Woman every since you told me that is was better than Heroine. I was not looking hard. I think someone saw our conversation and contacted me directly. She said I heard you were looking for Strong Woman. She went on to say that she had a BNIB one and wanted to swap it for one of my RiRi lipsticks. I agreed and she sent it to me last week. Amazing. She did not have to do that. I was very grateful to her for doing that.
