I got the same person on Live Chat as Jude did. She did give a little more promising answer this time! I thought it was funny that I hadn't mentioned colors, yet she knew people were asking about Parrot and Black Gold.

Lani N: Hello Lauryn, and welcome to Nordstrom Beauty!

Lauryn: Thank you

Lani N: We are currently checking with the vendor, as we have been informed that many colors such as Parrot and Black Gold, have recently been republished on our site.

Lani N: We have been informed that these colors were discontinued and longer available, however they are showing as available. We will have a more definitive answer by tomorrow, as today is an observed Holiday.

Lauryn: Oh ok, just wanted to check! Should I just keep looking to see if they're still on the site tomorrow?

Lauryn: Or if I order them today, and they are actually not available, will I just get an email?

Lani N: Yes, if you order it today, and they are not actually available, we will send you a cancellation e-mail.

Lauryn: OOk, I'll try that then. Thanks so much for your help!

Lani N: My pleasure, and thank you for chatting with us today, Lauryn!

That's what I'm thinking is going on, b/c I was able to order the entire Madame B collection plus a few other LE/DC items off of Gloss.com the other month.
One of my local Nordies also discovered a couple of Beau quads in the back room, so I dont think this is entirelly improbable.
We shall see!

I ordered 4. I'm really doubting that this is going to turn out to be real. Although... if it is... I'm going to be pissed that I didn't order more.... maybe I need to get back on there and get some more...

So, I caved and ordered the following:

Parrot
DeMenthe
Guacamole
Parfait Amour

The worst that can happen is that I get an email telling me that the order could not be cancelled due to a website error. The upside is that I get those shadows!

Could someone CP some e/s for me? I live in Australia and I don't think it will let me order anything.

I just placed a second order with stuff I missed on my first order, just for the hell of it. I'm still very, very skeptical of this...and I'm fully expecting my orders to be cancelled tomorrow. My Nordstrom card is now officially worn out from the holiday season

Okay I just ordered some more. So now I've ordered 10 total, which would make this my biggest hail ever if it works out. I can't decide whether i want it to, now though-- did I really need to spend that much right after Christmas? *sigh* I think I'll be both relieved and disapointed, either way. Damn you Nordstoms.com!!

I just did a LiveChat with someone on Nordstroms... here's the convo:

Nelisha: There are some discontinued eyeshadows under your MAC section. Some of these have been discontinued for quite some time now. Is this an error?
Dawnelle D: Hello Nelisha, welcome to Nordstrom Beauty!
Dawnelle D: This is an error, due to the holiday we could not have it removed today.
Nelisha: so, if we ordered those things, what will happen?
Dawnelle D: The order will be cancelled as the items are not available.
Nelisha: will my credit card be charged?
Dawnelle D: No, the items are not available to order, the order would be cancelled.
Nelisha: ok
Nelisha: thank you
Dawnelle D: You're welcome.

DAMN!!! I was so excited...

Oh well good to know she's a good chickadee! I was just worried for others because she never replied to me at all...

She hasn't replied to me either. I should have known that it was too good to be true. If only I had known about MAC and Parrot sooner. Gah!

Cynthia W: Yes, the parrot color is available. I apologize for any confusion.
Tayliah: if i place an order tonight and they run out of stock then what happens?
Cynthia W: If we would run out of stock, you would not be charged for the item, as we do not charge until merchandise does ship out.

Cynthia W: The shipping is a flat fee of $5.00 per order. If you receive a damaged item, please contact us, and you will need to send the broken item back to us, and we can send out a replacement.
Tayliah: ok...another question...sorry. can shipped items be returned to an actual store for a refund or do they have to be shipped back?
Cynthia W: Yes, you may return items purchased online to any department at any of our Nordstrom stores. Please be sure to bring your packing slip with you.
Tayliah: i had another questions... how is it that you have parrot and that shadow has been discontinued by mac for a while now?? are they re-releasing it?
Cynthia W: I apologize, I do not know. You will want to contact our Beauty Department for further information at 1.800.7BEAUTY.
Tayliah: one more question
Tayliah: how long does it take to find out if i will be able to receive the items i ordered?
Cynthia W: As soon as the order has processed, and entered the warehouse, we will be able to know if you will receive the item. I am sorry for any confusion.
Tayliah: do they email with an answer to let me know the product is on the way or that the product is not in stock?
Cynthia W: When placing an order online, you will receive an e-mail letting you know when the order ships out.

Aye, she was real bad at replying to me at first but I must be persuasive.
