Nope, no backups for me. MAC are always releasing new collections with new things. They may even repromote these shades in the near future. Besides, I have too much make up to use to buy backups.

At this point...I don't even know anymore....

You don't need backups. They will all eventually end up at CCO's later. No worries!

Regrettably?"
Yeah, sure; I know it just kills them, the way that just *happened* to work out.Sheesh!
As if they have no control over when anything happens on their site!
Oh, well, such is life, I suppose ...

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

You guys are so right....I don't need backups. I have backups I haven't even touched yet...I need to keep telling myself "you don't need backups..."

I wish we had CCO's...we don't in Canada so I guess that's why I'm always afraid...but it's true...I will buy extra and then some other collection will come out and I'd rather get new stuff. Thanks guys!

Nope. It will take me forever to use up the MSFs I want to get, and since I can dupe the majority of colors I wanted, there's no point for me.

I don't buy backups of things unless it's a permanent item and I need one for travel/work.

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

I ended up ordering possum nose pink, a bulk pack of mac wipes and the 109 brush for about 55 bucks...

im definetly relooking my BBR list....i thought I had more money than i do. I think ill order the shadows and glosses first, then depot all i can and maybe try to get a couple freebies with my empties. and re-do my sale on specktra within the next few days...

I thank MAC now, because I have more time to rethink my purchases. I have way too much makeup; Im starting to think Ill never use it all.

BTW, I did email MAC. Ill let u guys know what my email said later...and when they respond to me ill post their reply.

I just called to double check and that is what they said.

I was there on Friday and they only had parts of it and would not let me buy anything. I just called now and they still say no.

Mine told me they have it all but they have been told by Corporate they cannot sell before the 8th and she said they normally never get directs that way ....So something is up with it all...

Maybe they lost another truck full of MAC stuff...wouldn't that be crazy!!!

That's weird about those directions,hmm...and I really hope that they did not lose any shipments on you

I know what that's like.

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

I just can't understand how they could loose their trucks with all

the existing systems for vehicle tracking...they should give us some better excuse

Seriously,trucks don't just get 'lost'.Maybe shipments got stolen is more like it.And even then there are ways for that shit to get tracked down.

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

This is all insane. I'm skipping the F&F sale. Poor execution. The freestanding in Halifax says it will put the stuff out for sale on Thursday. I'm still looking at only buying the redhead and blonde msfs and getting other stuff for free. Now I'm even questioning the blonde, as my gift card won't cover both.

I'm just so bloody annoyed. This all seems backhanded and... dirty. It has been many months since I directly gave money to MAC (I'm very much a Clearance Bin shopper), and this hardly encourages me to change that.
