The lady at PRO told me that Nordies has an amazing contract with MAC they get to have the upper hand on all collections, dates, exclusive items etc...She said they are the biggest seller of MAC products of all locations and she said they stock the highest volume over Dillards and Macy's ...HUMMMM

I called this morning to add something, she said Nope, because it was already placed and it had an order number. Oooookay. Well I had to go to work so I called after work and she said I couldnt cancel my order because it was already shipped........

which is like I just said above, my package was shipped, I placed my order yesterday afternoon. However my packages usually get here within 2 or 3 days, the only time it didnt it took like 5 days....I wrote an email to mac and they told me they were going to review my email and respond back to me.

I started a thread in MAC Chat, if u guys could give me ur opinion on it id appreciate it. Its about this damn 217 brush; MAC refuses to give me 25% off plus the free shipping--the only reason I didnt order it yesterday was cuz it was sold out, and I could have gotten the 25% off plus free shipping anyways yesterday! I am just so upset, Im never one to complain and Ive NEVER had a problem with MAC but this is pissing me off I feel like they arent trying to do anything to resolve it! And theres no one else I can even talk to!

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

^^ My lady said that too...but it wasn't shiiped for 2 days later ...and I got a shipped notice when it shipped.... who knows..but they are probably trying to get everything out prior to BBR madness...and the quicker they ship the more shipping charges they can get if you reorder something else LOL

I do wish the collection had been included in the sale, but oh well.

Me Too! My first impulse was to jump on line and order a bunch of stuff just b/c it was on sale, but then I started to think of BBR and the unholy amount I'm sure to send on HK and I was able to resist!!

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

I've gotta say, I am very suprised I'm not getting any sh*t for having my BBR already. Here I was all proud of myself for gettin it so soon, and nada...zip...nothin...LOL

I am LOVING the texture of the MSF's they are very smooth and the brushes ahhhh heaven.

I was VERY surprised by Red Devil...it looked scary in the tube, but on it is stunning. Overall very impressed with the collection.

If I can stand it, I try to make myself wait until reviews have started to come out for a product in which I'm interested.
Then, if it sounds like it 's HG material for me, I'll plan on ordering a backup, or [rarely] even buy two at first.
Most of the time, though, I'll order one of a product that appeals to me, and then, after I get it, if I absolutely LOVE it, have nothing else like it, and know I'll use it a lot, I'll rush to order a backup.
Sometimes, however, I just go with my gut.
The best example of this is Hollywood Nights lipstick, released with the Heatherette collection last year.
I'm a bright lips devotee, and I just had a feeling I'd adore Hollywood Nights and its accompanying gloss, Style Minx.
So I ordered two of both, before ever having seen either.
I'm so glad, since I love both, wear them often, and they quickly became impossible to get.
Unless my budget is very tight, I'm pretty likely to go for backups.
It's insecurity, I guess.

The Bay has some similarities--they also get the Nordstrom's-only items like the Colour Forms collection...

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

MAC seems to count on us not thinking and simply jumping at every little thing they dangle in front of us... :/

Are you loving the Blonde MSF ...that is the only one I am on the fence about for NC45

^Yah but do they release their collections early like Nordies does???

Lol....I need to quit being so bitter about this...

...patience is a virtue *repeats over and over in head* lol..

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

^^^Unfortunately, no. I wish they did, though.

YES!

Though it pains my Inner Cheapskate a little to skip a 25%-off-on-everything offer, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
I'll just wait until I have a free ship code, and that will help; my Inner Cheapskate HAATES to pay for shipping!

wow, are they really 1oz?

And here I thought the regular MSFs were big at .35oz

So I guess these will be about twice the size of a normal Studio Fix powder

It was the first one I tried! I NEVER wear pink ( I see myself as a peachy kinda gal) so I was NOT going to get this, but it is gorgeous!! I wore it with gingerly blush and it was awesome! I think someone said it was kinda like petticoat or lightscapade, I say BETTER 1.) because I have it LOL and 2.) because it is soooo velvety smooth you can't help but pet it

I used the redhead today and bada boom! Another great look...tomorrow...brunette I can't wait

This was officially MY CoC!! I got almost everything and don't regret a thing!

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