I swear, I need a Xanax tonight. My husband said, "You're obsessed! Settle down!" I keep thinking about it, planning like George C. Patton before he went into the war.

This is the last time I do this to myself. I need to stop reading Temptalia and this board and then I'll never know what I'm missing out on. Sometimes ignorance really *is* bliss.

The sad part is, I probably won't use up the one I have coming for a couple of years, and by then it may make another appearance, but I have a weird stockpiling habit for rare items. I still won't use my one ML.

I need to stop reading this board! I'm a nervous wreck because of Stereo Rose!

Who knew when I first purchased Gold Deposit a year & half ago I would go nuts for MSf's???

Geez, IS IT TOMORROW YET???

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

So i just want'd to double check that I got stereo rose from Nordstrom so I did another live chat after being told that I got it already. The lady I talked to this afternoon said she wasn't sure if I got it or not because they sold out of them in their warehouse and they were sending the rest of the orders to different stores to get them. So I was kind of bummed then I got mad because it was completely different then when the first lady said oh yeah its getting ready to ship. So I went on a just talked to another lady and she said mine is going to ship in the next couple days from a texas store. She said that alot of orders are going to be slow coming to people because of the anniversary sale. So if anyone is wondering why its taking so long for their items to get shipped, thats why.

Somehow I feel like I'm going to be like Clark Griswold from National Lampoon's Vacation. I'll be running to the entrance with Chariots of Fire playing, get to the counter, and then in slow motion the MA will say, "Soooorrrry, we're all soooold out."

Actually, we're all Clark Griswolds in this. They owe us for this quagmire.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

I can't sleep. I called my counter to see if my hold on SR was still there and got some startling news. Even though they originally said I had until close tomorrow to buy it, the manager has changed that to noon!

They've recieved so many calls about and have so little stock that they can only give a two hour window to buy.

So I'm freaking out that the MUAs at my MAC counter will sell my SR , even though I'm going to get there right when they open. AHHH PARANOIA

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

Just like I caved with the Marine Life madness, I caved again tonight with Stereo Rose.

I called my MA at the freestanding store I go to (10 minutes after it closed ha!) and asked her to put one aside for me. She said they only had eight! I was able to get Marine Life the afternoon of launch at that store, so hopefully I'll be OK for my A+O goodies (which is what I'm really worried about).

I'm still trying to talk myself out of Stereo Rose though. I just don't know if it's unique enough from ML and Nectar shimmerbrick. (How many coral cheek products could I possibly need?

)

I think I want to pick up an MES, but I have no idea which one.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

Whew! I finally got through all of the pages I missed in the last few days.

I, like most of you, am pretty shocked at how fast SR sold out. In all of my MAC years I have never seen things sell out as fast as ML & SR. It is absolute craziness and not in a good way. It actually makes me pretty sad and frustrated.

I called last week to pre-order SR at my local MAC store (as well as my Alice + Olivia CPs) and was told that they were not doing pre-orders but that they would put stuff on hold for me to pick up the day of the launch. I called again on Monday and today to double check that everything was set aside and I was told by the same woman that all of my stuff would be ready for me on Thursday.

When I got home from work today there was a message from the MAC store saying that they didn't have anymore stereo roses and that all were pre-held before I requested it. I am frustrated that the MA didn't tell me this when I first called. Then I could have tried to get it online.

Thankfully my A+O stuff is still in stock for me to pick up tomorrow.

I just don't think that makeup should cause such stress. It is taking the fun out of buying MAC IMO.

I am sorry to everyone else that didn't get stereo rose.

The order my mother put through went through. I've received confirmation that it's in transit, SR and all. Won't believe it till it shows up on her doorstep. [I handled the order because I happened to be online when it launched.]

coachkitten, that's horrible. I can't get over how many people are getting royally screwed out of SR. Hopefully with all the bad juju they'll repromote it much, much sooner.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

This has grown 64 pages since I left last week!!

I'm sad to know lots of you missed SR!!

Hope I get better luck on Friday, when I'm to pick my goodies!!

Good night ladies!!

Hope I can manage to catch up with this one before I go to MAC for my ITG haul.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

Well, all I know is that I was up until 3:30am (CT) and then got online at 9am (CT) and Stereo Rose was sold out

I was devastated, moody, and made me rant of swearing off MAC forever LOL. Finally, Nordies came up with Stereo Rose on their Website... I ordered two and thought I was in the clear. They called and CANCELLED my order! I think it was something about my billing addresses not matching (we changed addresses). I called back and she assured me that she has my "items" at Customer Service to pick up. (I refuse to pay their shipping although it might be much easier LOL).

Susanne.......

Didn't think I would be THAT upset but I was in tears after the game ended.

SIGH........


With all the drama over SR I almost forgot & had to remind myself that this item that we're all after costs money too....or is this the goldrush or the lineup to collect meal tickets that I don't know about?

Now here's a video we can all relate to, I promise!

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

Thanks for nothing MAC Finland! No Stereo Rose for me!!!

I ordered my SR last Friday and only last night they texted me it was sold out from Helsinki so they couldn't get it for me. Well, what do you know, now I hear it was still available on the 2nd counter in Turku yesterday morning but it was sold out before I got the message. Why didn't they ask the other counter if they knew it was sold out from the first one?!? It's the same bloody department store that sells it in both cities! I'm so mad right now, I'm ready to boycot the store

I have a bad feeling they screwed up the order in the first place and yesterday they noticed the mistake. How the hell were other people able to buy SR on July 2nd when they claim it was already sold out?!

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

Well I still don't know if I will receive my SR or not and honestly I don't feel like running to the MAC store that's 7 miles away from me either this morning. I don't feel like wasting the gas or my time

. I also don't want to look like some maniac going into the store....ie being the first one there like a dog waiting for a snack for this SR. If I don't end up getting it from the order I placed online it will be money I can use for the Dare to Wear stuff I want.

I'm sorry about all the other ladies that have gotten screwed around over this darn "blush"

. It's so wrong and it takes the joy out of it all
