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?!

Oh no, I'm so sorry keijukainen you didn't get your SR!

I wish I would've known this, I could've picked up one for you when I was there friday. I went there about six o'clock so maybe they sold out on it just before closing? So weird that they told you this late that they are sold out! Almost a week later!

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

I feel so bad for you girls that didn't get Stereo Rose MSF! Even though the hype is getting out of control and today I got an e-mail from MAC that my order of Full Fuchsia blush is shipped along with 3 other items. I'm hoping that one of the items is Stereo Rose that has been shipped since when I went to check my Order Status, all my other orders are on Pending.

If it's charged for the full amount you should be getting it.

Really? I also got my order confirmation email at 8:19 AM EST and I am getting my SR. I called today and it was confirmed that my entire order was shipped out yesterday (I made sure to ask if SR was also in the box, from reading some pages back it seems that if you didn't ask the question, you weren't sure if SR was there or not!)

It's a shame the ordering system was so messed up. Hopefully all the promises for backorder shipments are fulfilled.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

I like how we all have our times. lol

Ok so i got the courage to call Customer Service and she said it indeed looked like i was receiving SR and she even gave me my tracking # and all. Ill still believe it when i get my black box.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

Yeah so I'm vacationing here in New Jersey right now, and I totally am not going to read like the 75 pages this thread exploded with but I have the general idea that SR sold out in like 3 hours and MAC screwed everyone over again? Ya'll can bump the list up to 2 that actually have SR, I pre sold my stash at my Macys so my MA charged it already and it is waiting for me when I get back. I did go on last night and ordered another SR and All Styled Up lippie (from Nordstroms) but their showing back ordered till 7/31/10 with a expectation to be shipped to home by 8/8/2010, so I'll let ya'll know how it goes. But I agree that this LE thing is getting out of hand, and whoever mentioned it was like Beanie Babies in '97 is soooo true. My Dad and Sis used to have an online store where we sold them at and I remember I would go in and stuff my arms full of whatever I could of those critters, ahhhh those days...Anyways I wish everyone luck today to get SR in store!

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

Well after the "shipping error" made by MAC Tuesday, my box arrived a few minutes ago!

As promised all of my items were in the box, including Stereo Rose!

I missed out on ML, so I'm super happy I didn't miss SR too!

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

I got a Stereo Rose after some struggle. I'm really pissed of with the Pro Store. I called a few times, and they always said that they couldn't hold items. I arrived at the store the moment that opened, and guess what? "Oh, I'm sorry, all SR are reserved"!!!!!

They started to make reservations just after a lot of people called! It's simply unorganized and unfair.

At least I got one from a counter. It's sad that a lot of people will be disapointed because this last minute changing on the reservations.

I got only SR and Petticoat. I was interested in Hang Loose, but is really light (I'm NW15), and kind blueish on me (I felt like Corps Bride). Band of Roses is gorgeous, but too pigmented. It's perfect for dark skin!

About the lipsticks, I was thinking to get All Styled Up, but is very close to Saint Germain that I own. Jazzed is not even close to Ever Hip on me, it's really orange. The eyeshadows are really better, but the colors aren't unique, so I passed.

Now I'll be free of the LE crazyness until Disney

Good luck for all of you gals. I wish everybody could get SR and not be disappointed because of a ridiculous minimum sotck, evil-bay and the crazyness of the online system

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

Wow!!! I take back all the complaining I did yesterday! LOL

Stereo Rose is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS! Much more beautiful than I expected! This is my first time seeing it in person.

It sucks that MAC didn't have more inventory so everyone who wanted one could get one.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

Trying to contact my counter has been insane today. I keep getting bounced back to the store's CS counter, which means that they're probably SWAMPED with ITG/A+O being released today. I'm really hoping my reserved items (and by that, I mean STEREO ROSE) are still there when I get there at 12:30.

My order still says pending too. Hope i get black box tomorrow as well. I'm too lazy to call CS.

Exactly why I refused to go to the MAC store today. I will not give in to the frenzy.....just not worth it to me. Now if it was some lens I wanted for my camera at some low price that'd be different

Mine still says pending and I have it in my hands.
I think Sterero Rose knocked MAC for a loop.

I'm happy for you, that you're getting your Stereo Rose!
My In the Groove order, which included only Go For It lipstick, plus a Yogurt eyeshadow I tossed in, was placed yesterday morning, and is still pending.
I'm not worried, but I wish they'd at least send it out by the end of the week.

I have had the exact same thing happen to me!
No shipping confirmation e-mail, my order status at the site says "pending" for days on end, then DING-DONG! UPS is at the door, bringing a little black box.
Weird ...

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

So I just got back from my freestanding store with my Stereo Rose!!

It is so amazingly pretty and pigmented!! I hope you all can get your hands on one soon!

I got there just after 10 am (when the store opens), and there were half a dozen other people in there trying to get their hands on SR. They actually had one left unreserved that was sold while I was there!!

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

Just got back from the MAC store. It was pouring hard when i went. They opened at 10 and i got there at 10:30 and was relieved that there was only 1 customer there. They let me chose the SR i want and i picked the one with medium veining. Some people want minimal veining but it's not as gorgeous to look at

When i came, i told them that i have 1 SR on hold for me, but the SA said that they're not putting anything on hold because they didn't get much in (15 SRs), but thankfully, they still had them, so i wasn't very pissed.
And then 2 more lady came and bought more than 1 SR, and the SA was like "you're the 5th Asian person that came in to buy SR." I don't know why she said that though. I guess only Asians came in since they opened to get SR.

They only had 9 left but they're probably gone by now. People are buying multiples! I thought about buying more for some people that didnt get it, but i was already at the parking lot when i thought about that. Oh well, sorry guys

I didn't get any of the lippies. At first, i wanted All Styled Up, but it's too yellow for me (even though I'm Asian with lots of yellow tone). I Like It Like That is more wearable. Jazzed is pretty but i didn't get it. I thought MAC would come up with similar color in the future, after knowing that we like that sort of color (such as Ever Hip and Dressmaker2).

Anyways, I hope you guys got what you wanted!
