I listened and...it was Nordstrom calling to say my order was ready for pickup. Uh! My heart almost stopped. But all was good so off I went.

I pick up my item at customer service and I decided to go to the MAC counter and pre-order the dazzle lipsticks. There was a presale sign in front of the dazzle lipsticks. I noticed the In the Groove display was out. Stereo Rose was still in the display. I also noticed that they had the products in the display case below the counter so I looked to see if there were any stereo rose. I didn't see any but I did see plenty of By Candlelight. I figured they were selling the products.

I started to tell the SA I wanted the dazzle lipsticks. She said they were pre-sell only and that they didn't have the products yet. I asked when they would be released. She had to think about it but eventually said July 16th. I then told her I wanted 2 of the In the Groove blushes. She said, they were pre-sell too. I said but they will be available tomorrow, right? She said no, the 16th. I said are you sure because I already bought some of these products. She said, "No you did not buy these!" I said yes again. Again "No you did not buy these." Now, I wasn't going to argue about it but I was really trying to help her. Telling people the products wouldn't be out until the 16th meant she would lose sales. I said I already bought the eyeshadows and she said well, "someone sold it to you early and they weren't supposed to." I didn't want to tell her, the someone was from her store because I had Stereo Rose in my Nordstrom shopping bag on my arm. I didn't like her attitude so she lost the sale as I didn't even want to pre-order the lipsticks from her.

BTW I like quite a few of the Dazzle lipsticks.

In honor of Stereo Rose Frenzy, I wore Marine Life on cheeks with By Candlelight as a highlight and Nymphette l/g.


Kinda sad the collection goes on sale tomorrow and this SA doesn't know and doesn't want to listen to reason.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

I'm speechless at this craziness! Reading all the frenzy, i just called my MAC store and put 1 SR on hold for tomorrow with no problem. I know they got at least 20 Stereo Roses in, so i know i'll get one.

However, I've put things on hold twice before (for GMLOL and Art Supplies), but when i got there, both times they couldn't find my hold items (they said someone forgot to actually put my items in the bag). Thankfully, they still had the things i wanted, but those experiences make me worry. Holding items is not a guarantee you'll get one. Lots of MA just put your name down, but didn't actually put away your stuff. So i can only hope for the best that she'll actually do it this time.

I know some people have confirmed that SR is exactly the same as the original, and some of the pictures do show it, but i've seen more pictures that show it's really lighter than the original. I never owned the original, but i really hope it will turn out as coral because lighter MSF won't do much for me

Good for you for voting with your dollar! It's one thing to not know your product, but quite another to give a customer attitude. Sheesh!

I don't know if anyone has posted this, but Nordstrom.com has stereo rose for backorder on 7/30...here's your chance!

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

I just read 24 hours worth of posts in this thread. My heart is breaking for everyone who isn't getting SR like they should! I know that sounds silly and maybe over-dramatic, but an item like this has been anticipated forever and to miss out on it because of a *possible* MAC server error is so ridiculous.

This is Marine Life times 100.

I'm hoping so much that my call Sunday to my counter where the MAs know me means that I will have SR in my hands tomorrow.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

I decided to get Stereo Rose on a whim as I wasn't interested in it at all until Monday night. I have a feeling it won't look good on me or be my sort of thing so I kind of regret my rush buy. I'll have to decide when I get it.

Mine went on back order (of course). I called and reserved one at my store tomorrow but I'll call in the morning and put it on my credit card to make sure they don't sell it. I can't get there until I get off work. *crosses fingers*

This is also the Teenie Beanie Baby McDonald's 1997 frenzy times 100. I remember standing in McD's for hours trying to snag a tiny, cheap, Chinese-made Peanuts the Elephant and going nuts (heh, no pun intended) when McD's sold out at about 10 at night after a full day of waiting. And here I am again in a furor over a pan of powder that isn't even worth $28 IMHO.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

I called and got them to hold a Stereo Rose for me at a counter at a Macy's I've never been to (thank da lord for my gps) because the usual places I go were sold out already. I think I'm going to call in the morning and charge it so I know I'll definately get one since I won't make it up to the mall until later in the evening because I have work and then have to drive up to the mall, which I think is an hour away. I feel like such an ass for making a big deal over this, but it's like a sickness.

Oh my gosh, Beanie Baby fever was HUGE when my little sister was going through cancer treatment... I can't tell you how many of those (both full-sized and McD mini-sized) we got during that time. I have to say that this frenzy is just as large, at least for the MU community!

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

Vanilla and Aeroerin, I remember getting into such a frenzy because I couldn't get Tabasco the Bull and got Snort instead, and the unicorn one had to have the special horn (iridescent or tan - can't remember) and feeling like my co-worker was a huge you-know-what because she was going to PA to a place where they had all the Beanies you wanted for a fair price and she refused to pick me up a Valentino.

Insane, I tell you.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

I doubt I'll order from the website again. My order is still pending also. I've called twice and two different CSR said there was an issue with the notification system and it may have shipped without being updated in the system. Just have to wait and see. Funny thing is, I ordered Marine Life from the web and had no problems! I didn't even know it sold out like crazy until it was mentioned here.
I'll try my luck at the counter in the morning. If I get my order I'll sale the extra SR at cost to one of you specktrettes.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

Don't hate me, but.......my MAC gal called and asked if I wanted to put SR on hold because it was her last one and I was all "Nah, I'm getting Petticoat and By Candlelight, I don't need three".

I came home and looked at swatches and really want to kick my own ass.

Thanks. I guess they have to enter all the scans in themselves at MAC. I'm wondering if the warehouse just has no idea exactly how many SR they have and how many were sold due to the system going down? Today at work dispatch was out so no one could get through about pkgs and they couldnt send messages to couriers. I know oddly enough....the heat has caused the electric to go out and systems to go down, cable was out and slow in areas so that could be their problem. Why I say oddly was that remember back in Feb when we had all the snow here and it caused all the delays for people?

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

I know this sounds silly, but I don't know how I'm gonna sleep tonight. *Hopefully* all snug in my bed, while visions of Stereo Rose dance in my head. And also of it in my hands, please! No night terrors of it across a fiery chasm.

Good luck to everyone who's hitting up stores & counters tomorrow! I'm right there with you.
