Baaaack in the ooooold days of specktra i'd get a daily e-mail letting me know which boards i follow had been updated. This no-longer-so-new site doesn't do that. I have to remember to get on here by myself to check out my boards - and i don't always remember

So I've spent a bunch of time catching up on this board and finding swatches. I think this is a well-put together collection, nude and sparkly (i like sparkly - see my SIG line)

Fortunately for me, tho, i have *masses* of nude lipsticks - and i got All I Want last year - so while a couple of the lipsticks are really pretty, i can live without them... altho i must say that frosty brown OOC is really tempting me... hmmm, it's still tempting me...

I rarely wear glosses and have just about every other gold lipglass MAC has put out in the past few years, so i can skip the glosses.

I rarely wear blush and have enough in colors i like, so i can skip the blushes. And the EDSF isn't my color - too warm, too orange. Also not too long ago i got a highlighter palette from Anastasia oBH, Moon Child Glow Kit, because i was impatient for that MAC Mineralize pinwheel to come out. I feel like a magickal unicorn when i wear it
Blue Ice - Diamond white with an icy blue reflect
Star - A moonstone fusion of mint, platinum and silver reflect
Purple Horseshoe - A glittering lavender with an arctic blue reflect
Pink Heart - Pearl white with a pink opal reflect
Lucky Clover - A shamrock-infused gold with canary yellow diamond reflect
Blue Moon - Frozen blue with a silver reflect

I have a number of nude / neutral eyeshadow palettes, so as nice as some of the colors are, for me these are skippable. Plus i recently got the Too Faced Peanut Butter and Jelly palette and the Urban Decay Full Spectrum 2016 palette (yeah, neither of them neutral), so i think i'm set for a little while.

I hope everybody gets the products they really want.

This hasn't launched any where else online yet has it? Been refreshing Macy's all day and nothing

Haha! Yay to that being OOS when you need it to be and Yay for retail therapy. I've been having a sad emotional week so I'm glad I ordered during the early access to avoid the drama today. I picked up I Get So OOC lipstick, the coral blush, the "creepy face powder (lol) and the loose powder. Sounds like such a small haul now but was surely expensive. I was initially going to get Butterfly Bling but I never use my lipglasses so that would have been a waste of money. Hope you enjoy your splurge when you get it and that your evening redeems the day you've had. *hugs*

Hugs & Prayers from someone who cares!

Nope not yet

I was able to get My Mimi and Rainbow Interlude. I'm now wishing I got Butterfly Bling.

My order for the Loose Powder Touch My Body (that I placed on Monday) shipped this evening. I never received a shipment confirmation but it showed as shipped with a tracking number on the website.

Anyone know any Free Shipping codes for MAC Canada? Ebates has MACEXP listed but it doesn't work.

I was lemming a lipstick just because the packaging is pretty, not a fan of the frosty looking shades, hopefully Hudsons Bay gets this collection in soon.

 

[DarylandCarole]

Am I right that the EDSF was online only just for MAC? Or might it be online at Nordies Macy's, etc? Does anyone know when this is going for sale on the department store's web sites?

 

[NATlar]

Picked up my goodies from Debenhams... How stunning is "My Mimi" <3 I've brought that for collector purpose as it'll be too dark for me I just needed it in my collection!! The lipsticks are in "I Get So OOC" and "Mcizzle"

As of last night, my order from Monday still showed as "processing" so I'll be chatting with CS in a couple of hours. I received a confirmation almost immediately after placing the order so this super long processing time confuses me. I typically get my stuff within 2 days and have never had issues like this with any other major collection (any of the Rihanna ones, Alluring Aquatics or even Selena). I didn't get the option to select my sample at checkout either. My last order included a sample but I never had the option to choose it specifically. I wonder if a sample will be in the box this time. Whenever they ship my package, that is......

@Shars I hope things improve

Thanks to both of you ladies. It's one of those "time heals all wounds" type of things but I appreciate the sentiments.

@Shars I hope things improve

Thinking about you and sending lots of positive vibes and thoughts!

p.s. Also sending you "thrifty love!"
I would have never joined Ebates if you had not mentioned it. It's so nice to have little bits of cash show up in my PayPal account!

p.s.s. I got an email notification that my TMB Powder shipped this morning. It was ordered Monday during early access, so MAC is waaaaay behind.

 

[BrittLuvsMakeup]

I received my shipping confirmation email for the Loose Powder Touch My Body this morning along with the shipping confirmations for the 239 Eye Shader Brush, the Lipstick in I Get So OOC, and the Extra Dimension Skinfinish in My Mimi (these orders were all placed on Monday). From my Monday orders, I'm only waiting for the Powder Blush Sweet Sweet Fantasy and the Pro Longwear Lip Pencil in So Dramatique to ship. I ordered Butterfly Bling yesterday so I'm also waiting for that to ship as well.

Thank you pretty lady!! And yay for Ebates. It's like receiving little cash rewards for being naughty hehe.

Hang in there, babes

Thank you! *hugs*

My PLLP in So Dramatique just shipped!

I think MAC is a little backed up with orders due to having the 25% off sale right before the release of the collection (I just got a shipping confirmation today for an order that I placed during the sale), however, I think having placed orders on Monday, one of which haven't even shipped yet is a little ridiculous. I don't mind the wait, but overall, my experience this year with a couple of online retailers' sales this holiday season in regards to shipping has been slower, in my opinion, than in previous years. I don't know if they had a major increase in sales and traffic on their websites between this year and last year but I hope they are able to ship more quickly than they have been as of late. I don't mind waiting a few days but when you start approaching close to a week and an order hasn't shipped for an in stock item, it gets a little frustrating.

I received cash back from Ebates for all of my orders that have shipped from this collection so far except for TMB Loose Powder. I hope it shows up within the next few days because after what I spent on this collection, I need every penny I can get back in cash back, lol.

Luckily during the restock creepy face powder was OOO so I couldn't give into any FOMO lol. I'm surprised they did an afternoon restock today! Of course I picked up a blush & the 239 brush to make myself happy after having a terrible day. Did you snag anything from either launch?

Haha! Yay to that being OOS when you need it to be and Yay for retail therapy. I've been having a sad emotional week so I'm glad I ordered during the early access to avoid the drama today.

Hope you enjoy your splurge when you get it and that your evening redeems the day you've had. *hugs*

I didn't really read much through this thread until now but I hope you ladies are feeling better these days! I know retail therapy doesn't completely resolve everything but I hope that it and the ladies messages here have brought some smiles to your faces!
