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

[makesmesmile]

Thanks for the info! The problem is I ordered it in the US bec a friend of mine will be there to pick it up at his hotel.
IDK why MAC cancelled the order maybe bec it was my credit card I paid with but I ordered it with his name.
So he might just call MAC and we'll see.
I don't want to have the same problem with Bloomingdale's as well.
Aaah, this sucks.

The name on the credit card and the shipping address don't have to match. The issue should be something else. Not sure if Bloomies accepts international credit cards and an US shipping address, Macy's doesn't, I've tried that before.

Burmese Kiss sold out. Did someone say that already ?

 

[Marsha Pomells]

Very f***ing funny MAC...

Well, that's good to know then!
He'll call them today and hopefully we'll see what the problem is/was, maybe they can work sth out.
If not I hope it'll still be on bloomingdale's website then and I'll try to order it there.

The thing is IDK what is wrong in Austria with this collection. It should have been on the website yesterday (it is an online exclusive here + you can get it at one specific store which is many many hours away from me) but it didn't show up.
Now I wrote an email to MAC and they said they were having problems with the collection and don't know when it will be online. They just know it won't be before the 5th.

I did want the hot pink lippy the orange or pinky colour peachy but couldn't decide So ended up buying none gulp I thought orange one would suit me for summer just incase I do get my fake tan But mmmm didn't wanna take the risk Just incase it didn't suit

I think the problem may be that the US MAC website does not accept credit cards if it does not have a US billing address. I use a skybox to order stuff online since I don't live in the US and had to attach the skybox address to the card to avoid this problem.

I know Nordstrom does not have this policy so if the products are still available on their site (not stalking this collection) you can try them.

I don't have a US billing address, and I was able to order... But then again, I did use paypal

 

[lipstickaddict]

nope, still no shipping notification and it still says its processing on MAC!

not sure if canada is just slow or what!

I placed an order at 6am yesterday morning with Express Shipping and my order is coming today, but that is just because I ordered so early. I placed another order a bit later on (9am or something) also with Express shipping, and that order has not been shipped yet. No worries though, from past experience, I am confident it will ship this afternoon and be here tomorrow.

Don't worry, Mac Canada is generally on the ball. I would expect that you will get an update later today

Yup...that is the alternative way around it.

 

[Tarabotti]

Lol lavender jade along with all the other lipsticks are still available on the Canadian site .. This is why I love Canada lol

Do the Canadians know that it launched? I mean did it launch when MAC Canada said it would launch so our neighbors to the North didn't have to play the 'Guess the Date/Time of Launch Game' with MAC?

 

[cowabungadude]

Has anyone swatched RB next to Siren Song yet ? I might snap up RB depending on how similar they look..

 

[Marsha Pomells]

Yup...that is the alternative way around it.

When Nasty Gal was released, I used my bank card to pay. UK issued, and my order went through as normal... Weird

http://www.pixiwoo.com/2015/03/bao-...&utm_campaign=Feed:+pixiwoo+(....Pixiwoo....) According to them, Summer Opal is a repromote with a new name. I googled Belightful and it does look really similar.

Someone posted a pic with the working names along with substitutes for each item of this collection. The working name and substitute for Summer Opal is Belightful.

Weird!  Maybe they do just rename products.  Or maybe Summer Opal was just inspired by Belightful.  Who knows? 

 

As others have said, Belightful is just the WN. They're completely different products altogether, and different colours too. Again, MAC does not just take one product and rename it something else. Especially when they're two entirely different products! A WN just means that the colour was an inspiration for the new products colour. They may alter the new product's colour slightly, the formula, add some shimmer, add a duochrome, what have you. All it means is it was the inspiration. Not that it is the same thing.

Having said that, what's the difference between a BP and an IP ? Summer Opal will be my first BP so not sure what to expect.

My Mac and Macy's BBW items already shipped, but some cinderella items I added during the Macy's order are still processing I hope they don't get cancelled, but at least I was able to get what I wanted from BBW and it will be here tomorrow!!

I think BP's have more pigmentation and IP's are more translucent
