Apparently Macy's is letting you check out even if it says the item is unavailable upon checkout, but for the $9.95 shipping + tax, I can happily take my behind to Sephora to get the Becca highlighter in rose gold...so I'm going to try my luck tomorrow, and if I don't get summer opal then c'est la vie.
Mac never gives a specific launch time. But from the past few collections, it has went up between 6am-8am central. Keep in mind it can launch anywhere between midnight +

Is Rose Gold similar to Summer Opal? If so I'm not going to stalk tomorrow because that was all I wanted.

This 'launch' on Nordies was horrible. I was as to snag everything except LJ which was cancelled after the fact. I will stalk MAC because I love the color but this is making me seriously rethink stalking. If someone who shall not be named would not over share info on IG then the entire world would not be tying to get products on launch night. The serious makeup lovers miss out and the resellers ultimately win. Not fair.
There is a comparison photo on Specktra's IG that shows them side by side. I can tag you on the post if you would like

Everyone keeps saying 'I'll try my luck tomorrow' when technically it's tonight, no? The evening of the 2nd going into the 3rd?

I didn't think in a million years things would get as messy as they did. It was all about being 10 steps ahead of the game and even then things sold out within minutes! I got all I wanted bc of all the awesome info here, but I never thought Nord would allow it to get SO messy and to allow items to sell out before they even launched online. Just crazy
I would have to agree, the launch was pretty hectic. I'm hoping Mac's launch will go by a little more smoothly. But let's re real, that probably won't happen either...

Craptastic is a nice way to put it. This launch is giving me Riri flashbacks!

I'm wondering if Nordie's even knew that their app did that. When I found the items it said they weren't available, but it still let you add it to your wish list. An app shouldn't work that way. I seriously can't understand why they let people order from live chat before it went on sale, though. Weird.

From what I've read, I've learnt that MAC really need to sort out their stock and launch their properly. These ebay sellers are really taking the biscuit... And wow, good luck to everyone stalking... I could be joining you guys if my workload is minimal

It's even worse that ye who shall not be named is a reseller and/or promotes reselling at inflated prices. Very lame and petty.Everyone keeps saying 'I'll try my luck tomorrow' when technically it's tonight, no? The evening of the 2nd going into the 3rd?
Where I'm at, the Mac launches lately have been showing up around the 7-9 am gap of the release date. Unless they mess this up like the Osbourne collection, so far they've been a teeny tiny bit more consistent with their release hours.

Honestly, the power is in our hands(or should I say wallets). Don't be so quick to spend, and you will see a change in the behavior of retailers. It has to be a collective effort amongst the beauty community or it won't work. #MONEYtalks always has, always will with big business...more than likely, there will be no collective effort.

Got both the lipstick colors I wanted, ordered twice from Macy's and once from nordies. I got Burmese kiss and forbidden sunrise and got one of the Cinderella lipstick and two Toledo lipsticks. Because Macy's supposedly was out of stock on the BBW lipsticks I got my Cinderella Royal Ball that I wanted and because I needed that free shipping I added a couple of the Toledo lipsticks. Then I was able to get Forbidden Sunrise from Nordstrom and then thought I'd just add the BBQ lipsticks to wish list on Macy's. Well to my surprise they were back in stock so I ordered the Burmese kiss! But in order to get that free shipping I had to add some Peter Thomas Roth face lotion I've been putting off getting. Anyway, spent way to much. Now to save for Giambattista collection. Hope my hubby doesn't notice all the boxes I get in the mail!

That sucks, I thought Nordstroms launches were supposed to go smoother. At least MAC does not sell out of items before they launch. Anyway I will be getting this collection from MAC. I wish there was a way to crack down on resellers. I hate that true Makeup fans miss out.
