Re: Dress Camp discussion

The amount of limited area release collections that MAC puts out is crazy!I mean,some of these collections should be available in more locations because a LOT of other people would definately buy these collections.It is just very frustrating.

you know the sad part is that i read this a long time ago and i guess because im so sad i didnt read it all the way lol.

So no more phone calls but still i think they should at least know that it's not at Nordstrom lol.

Ummmm anybody down for a road trip to Vancouver? lol jk

While it sucks, it is PURE MARKETING GENIUS.

Think about it this way...pages and pages ago on this thread, more people were saying how they were going to pass on this collection. I totally did, especially after I read from a poster how it was quite possibly geared more for people of Asian nationality. I for one though "That settles it -- skipping it and saving for the next one."

But then slowly the tides started to turn and the CLOSER it came to the release date, the MORE I started seeing "I'm gonna at least pick up such-and-such for the packaging at least." Honestly, how many of you, like myself, originally thought about passing.
Then comes the release and it's a MAD DASH to the site to buy!!!

Must have! Must have! Must not miss out! Everyone will get one but me!"

And this isn't a rip....that was my thinking too!

They're geniuses. Make something less available and suddenly EVERYONE wants it. For myself, I've paid a pretty penny for items I missed out in the past. Plus, many "true" collectors realize they want it even if they won't use it...

bottom line,this site is amazing and I'm thankful for everyone's advice, and the news, and ideas.

Re: Dress Camp discussion

I am in LOVE with she-gold! I have yet to try the palette. So glad I got my hands on it. (Though I still wish I had Too Fab and Fashion..) I'll take pictures/swatches of it as soon as my boyfriend falls asleep, which will not be long hahah

Re: Dress Camp discussion

Now that I think about it, I am not too sad. Although I still want the she gold l/g really really bad but I don't want the palette. I have a VS palette very similar to this one in Dress Camp. The Bare Bronze Radiant Shimmer Eye Palette in Heat Mirage. It was out a couple of years ago. Its shadows minus the blush but still the shadow colors are very similar. And the ones in Dress Camp seem dupable.

This is the one I have:

Re: Dress Camp discussion

I actually wanted everything when I first saw it... and then decided against that palette because I have similar colors...

lol

Re: Dress Camp discussion

I got the pallet and She-Gold l/g. Apparently, Too Fab and Fashion were already sold out/wait listed.

Well, I didn't get it, my boyfriend did. hahahah... I guess he was sick of my crying and whining about it yesterday! He's so sweet, I'm glad he understands my MAC addiction. hahaha..

He lined up at MAC Pro S.F. around 10:30ish. He was fourth in line he said. I asked him if he was the only guy, he said "NO, all of us in line are guys, except one girl and her BF." I was laughing.

I'm happy now. Can't wait for Naughty Nauticals

Re: Dress Camp discussion

Yeah! The blush looks like sweetness bp and fashion frenzy from fafi mixed together. lol
The shadows look like goldmine, goldenaire p/m, and amber lights IMO.

Re: Dress Camp discussion

Meep! I fixed my mailbox now, so PMs should go through. I must have set it to buddies/mods only. Dur!

So if anyone is still interested let me know. I haven't got a hold of the other person, but will wait a little longer for Specktra members who might not be able to find the palette.
