MAC X Bao Bao Wan Collection (March 5, 2015)

[Vandekamp]

SAME- when i went in store for osbournes, NO ONE was nice. i generally have a lot of anxiety around crowds, so it was AWFUL

I try my best to avoid the Mac stores or counters because there are way too many people at them. I prefer to get my stuff online. And you are right, sometimes the Mac SAs are not nice. I'm guessing because they are stressed out.

I rather order online than go instore, at least then I won't be waving my hands in the air with a tester lipstick (or whatever item) looking for attention... Not that I've waved a tester item about... Not that I could remember

Never mind.

Still March 3rd for MAC online... March 2nd for Nordies and Macy's online... and March 5th in stores.

OMG, this is going to be so confusing!

MAC, I am willing to give you money for make up I absolutely do not need, why are you making this so hard???

Of course the only downside is that we have to buy sight unseen.

They were super stressed out at Mac Canada online today too! My girlfriend called to order some Cinderella stuff that was sold out on the website (which she was able to get) but the lady on the phone was rude and seemed super stressed. No doubt I guess with the madness of today's launch. I just REALLY hope that this is not the case for BBW, but it likely will be!

Fingers are crossed that the next collection will go smoother. What are you hoping to get from the BBW collection?

Lip swatches of Lavender Jade. And... it's back on my list!

Lavender Jade looks (to me) ever so slightly paler and brighter than Dodgy Girl.

I am hoping to get Summer Opal and BK lipstick. The other lipsticks are beautiful, but I don't know how well I could pull them off.

Are you planning on getting anything?

The last time I went for a store launch was for Alluring aquatics. I had already picked up my goods online minus the lipsticks and wanted to try them out in person. BIG mistake! Line out to the door, people pushing, girls mad dogging each other, and let me not start on people so close behind me in line, i could feel them breathing on me...yuck! That's why i really choose to stay away from my local mac counter.

[mac-obsessed]

Lol I've Been obsessing over Lj but now I'm looking at it like ... Can I even pull that off?

 

[Marsha Pomells]

Right... The only items left in this collection are the nail polishes and the VPF Eyeshadow... Not even 24 hours in. Can't sleep, Honey thought it would be a brilliant idea to gift me a dead mouse... On my bed

Forbidden Sunrise and Burmese Kiss are definite buys with me but I'm still iffy about Lavender Jade. I know some people are hoping that it's going to be slightly darker or even more 'tame' than Dodgy Girl but I don't see that. If anything, I'd say it's even more fluorescent. It looks like it glows on the lips. It honestly looks like dupe for Dodgy Girl so anyone who missed Dodgy Girl can rest happy with Lavender Jade for sure.
