Had you ordered from the TF site?

The whole thing has definitely gotten pretty ridiculous. I have Pussycat and Anna so no big loss with Julian, and Richard/Negligee would have been nice but I have a similar Bite lip crayon. I still really want Guillermo though, and since I've already paid, I think I'm going to wait it out and see what happens for that one.

I'm not sure which two, they don't specify online and I didn't think to ask the customer service rep I was speaking with. Hopefully Guillermo isn't one of the two!
I ordered on the 4th so, early on but not the first day or anything. I wouldn't even bother with it now!

Hi I hope not, Guillermo is a looker ;-) The blogger from Don'tCallMeJesse said that Chanel Foudroyante looked just like Guillermo on her but I hope you can get through with Guillermo.

I got a generic BS email from TF about my order in response to my email. Something about the products not currently being available but possibly available next week (aka after 12/26). I filed my dispute. That is one month after I placed the order online, and they took the money from my card on the day that I ordered.

Thanks for the tip!
Yep, Julian is the one I got an indefinite delay notice on from Neimans right off the bat. Yet TF.com CS claims they will have all shades available online on 12/26. For those of you willing to deal with the Signature Required delivery that might be the way to go, although TF.com has been known to let you know something is on BO after the fact too. I'm just not going to be bothered with the signature thing. On Black Friday I did order from TF.com and put up with the Signature Required but enough time has passed that I've kind of moved on......
Indefinite delay? Whew, hopefully this will be the last time we see "launch in stages/limited times" and no other brand will be doing the same. I hope you can get Julian on 26th and cancel your order from Neiman.
I'm in Singapore so I can't order from TF.com, will try get them from the retailers. Actually the collection will come here on Jan 2, so I still have another chance. But I don't like going to the malls on holiday seasons like this :lol:

Yes, I have guillermo, and I Swatched it next to foudroyante and the are soooo close. If memory serves me right, foudroyante is maybe just a tad rosier and Guillermo is more plummy. But they are super close.

I agree, I have both and they are just a smidge different, not noticeable. So I am not getting a backup of Guillermo ( it's is my favorite for now!)

That's interesting too. Most places don't actually charge your card until the order ships.I got a generic BS email from TF about my order in response to my email.

backorder at this point and the charge should be pending.

Exactly what I said in my email that got the BS response. The charge is not pending. It has been processed and posted to my account.

My boys arrived yesterday! Long post ahead :shock:
First some tube comparisons:
I actually love this size lipstick. I haven't finished a lipstick in years so these are perfect for me. Small enough that I should actually make a real dent in them, but not so small that they'll be gone in a couple of dozen uses.
The tube is small compared to regular TF tubes, Burberry etc. but I don't think it's that tiny compared to less bulky tubes. Swatches:
L-R: Alejandro, Luciano, Matthew
L-R: Alasdhair, Wes, Guillermo
L-R: Kyril, Stavros, Orlando
L-R: Pablo, Jack, Liam
L-R: Olivier, Alexander, Julian
L-R: Black Dahlia, Wes, Pussycat, Julian I LOVE THESE LIPSTICKS! :eyelove: Seriously, they're all awesome in their different ways. Some jumbled thoughts: There's a few different formula's in the mix here. Some shades like Alasdhair and Kyril are clearly not meant to be heavily built up, but they're really pretty with just one or two passes. Olivier and Orlando are fairly sheer. Matthew, Guillermo, Alexander and Julian are the creamiest and the most opaque, the rest are a bit more emollient and take a few swipes to be 100% opaque. I think a few people have said Wes is patchy? I wore it for most of today and I didn't find that at all. Orlando is a very easy to wear golden nude for us fair girls. On the lips Alejandro is pinker and much more shimmery/metallic than Luciano. The former's a real show-stopper and the latter's more of an everyday red. Jack definitely leans purple whereas Pablo is a totally standard blue-toned bright pink. Stavros is AMAZING! Everyone needs it.

thanks so much!!Hey Pretty, Nordies was doing online pre-orders last week. Maybe you can still get what you want.
I actually wanted to see them in person first. But I'm not pressed. We'll see what I decide next week.

Thank you for the swatches. Pussycat and Julian look different enough for me to get both
