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

[montREALady]

Also I just wanted to say hi to everyone! This is actually my very first time posting, even though I've been a member, and reading for almost 8 years.

Keep checking Bloomies. My friend placed an order about an hour ago online for LK. She showed me the screen shot. Hi back! I joined only yesterday, lol.

Why didn't you place a phone order? That's what I did when I spoke to chat and got the 3 lonely locations in the east. I can't believe there were none in the tri-state area. I was so confused, lol. From chat: Here are the stores in the East Coast that are carrying this collection: Christiana Mall in Delaware- 302-613-6000. Natick, MA- 508-318-2600 and Tyson's corner in Virginia- 703-761-1121. Natick is now sold out of LK btw.

Thanks, I really didn't want LJ at first but my coworker wanted it and since she works nights she missed the online launches...I was able to catch the early Mac launch and I threw a couple LJs in my cart for her. Now they're here and I'm looking at them like "oooo...it sure is pretty..." so I figured if I luck out great...if not, then it wasn't meant to be.

I cles every MAC in NY carrying the collection, 5th Ave in particular and they were all sold out of course . I called 5th Abe a little before they opened at 10 and they told me they have a good stock of LJ. I call back at 10 on the dot and it goes straight to voicemail . So I called no joke 16 times in a row before I got to speak to someone finally and LJ was all gone

Supposedly the store at the Domain didn't get it either. My sweet husband works a minute away, so he went to check for me. I'm super bummed because I've missed out on Lavender Jade everywhere online. Kind of giving up hope that it's going to happen for me. Also I just wanted to say hi to everyone!

We never seem to get the goods here when it's select stores which really sucks. I hope you're able to find an LJ at some point. Also :specktrawelcome:

they did restock, go now! Well, Cinderella they did http://www.maccosmetics.com/whats_new/14307/New-Collections/MAC-Cinderella/index.tmpl

Thanks! I got glass slipper and free as a butterfly I already have royal ball and happily ever after. I'm interested in the beauty powder still but I didn't like coupe d chic much and I got summer opal so I figure I'm probably good only thing I want now that I missed is lavender jade.

Ladies beware their are a lot stores lying about their inventory on the bao bao wan collection. I called the fifth ave location at 8 am they told me that I can place my order at 10am when they opened. I called at 10am on the dot they told me that the lavender jade was sold out. I went ballistic and threaten to call the corporate office and magically a lavender jade popped up. A friend of mine went to the location and tried to purchase lavender jade and she was their before 10 and as soon as they opened the door and they were sold out. They are putting aside products for friends and family. Smh

That's not right, I hope you and your friend complain to corporate,

Same with me, actually I placed a phone order with Nordies too, hopefully one pans out. My friend who just placed an order with Bloomies online got the same date. I called to confirm that I wanted to stay on backorder after placing the order yesterday evening. I think they just put that date. MAC promises them a certain # and they must place backorders based on that. I guess people who cancel, they then release it for grabs that's why you see it one minute and it's gone the next. Who knows. But it's le, wtf's it taking that long for? MAC ain't making more! So that date is just to make us under-expect, then if it's sooner, we'll be happy.

I really hope that's just a default date they put in for the time being. This is my only hope, I refuse to get LJ off ebay. No way am I paying $50+ for a damn lipstick

If I was you, I would complain. I would be PISSED if my usual MAC store done that to me

I called them too and they told me the same thing! I called 10 on the dot and it was straight to voicemail. After calling more than 20x, I finally got someone on the phone and they said it was sold out

Hi there!

I live about two hours away from Austin, but make frequent trips there.

So Austin ladies: Nordstrom Barton Creek is out, Domain MAC is out. That sucks!

And hi and welcome- I love it here!

THis happens ON THE REGULAR in NYC. It's disgusting. Another thing, the MAC Time Sq, my friend placed an order over the phone and two charges came up on her card. She called them back and they said they only did one transaction so she called her bank and canceled the other. Some sketchy stuff.

 

[arnniecia]

They are closed today due to the storm. I will be filing a complaint tomorrow. Queens center mall is another location to beware of the told me that they sold out of lavender jade at 9:56 before the store opened. I told them I was going to contact corporate that is when they told me they received every lipstick but lavender jade.

Haha. I wonder if I met your husband in line. He said he was trying to get Lavender Jade for his wife. The Macy's down the block didn't get anything either.

Welcome and hope to see you around!

 

[arnniecia]

It's so sad when it happens to paying customers it makes me not want to deal with MAC at all.

 

[KGeezy]

Union Square and 5th Ave can stick it where the sun don't shine. Don't tell me people theres alot in stock and then all somehow be sold out literally within 2 minutes of the store opening

 

[arnniecia]

I agree

 

[stephshopaholic]

I think I'll just stick with my dodgy girl and call it a day lol sorry lavender jade you're too much of a pain.

 

[Gaiya]

Texas ladies>

It doesn't seem like any of the Austin locations got anything. An associate at the Austin MAC store said the closest one that got it is in Dallas. I'm wondering if Mac stores ship. I'm wanting the beauty powder. Does anybody know?

They must be putting aside for friends and fam because i usually go to that one for collections and they're usually stocked up and don't sell out while store opening.

Oh no, I never do. If I miss it, I miss it. Or wait for a dupe. I'm not enabling these rip-offs.
