Went in to pick up my hold items and ended up getting Ablaze lipstick. Glad I got everything I wanted! I was tempted to buy Heroine lipliner, but I am not getting the lipstick (bought 1 for a giveaway) and would only be buying because it is a hot item. Look at me all growed up with self control and everything! LOL

I went 2 my local NORDSTROMS at 10am this morning... I bought Silly, Ablaze and Embrace Me lipsticks as well as a Heroine lip pencil... I wouldn't mind having a Silly lipglass as it is the only creme finish l/g in the collection...

Oh the trials and triumphs that come with MAC LE collection release days... Hooray for those of you who were able to get what you want! And sorry to those of you who missed out on items for one reason or another

It happens every launch day, and it sucks. Just remember, there's still a chance of a restock or two online (how many times did Pink Pigeon restock in the Strength collection??? Three?), things might show up in the clearance bin here, and worst case scenario...MAC always comes out with new and better products!! Not sure if any of that really makes anyone feel better, but even if it cheers up one person, it was worth saying.

As for my journey to MAC today, I got there 2 or 3 hours after they opened and was able to get 2 of the 3 items I wanted. I picked up Ablaze lip liner (they had a few left) and Embrace Me lipglass (pretty sure I got the last one). Heroine l/s was of course sold out. So much for my backup. Maybe I'll catch a restock online, and if not, I'm happy to have gotten just one.

My final haul (1 of each):
All lip products for Embrace Me and Ablaze
Heroine l/s and l/l

Very cool of you to have them hold the other ladies items as well.
My black Friday shopping experience paid off today. My Macy's only had 2 heroine and ablaze liners because the employees bought them all. I got to the store at 9:45am and there was 1 day standing out front and everyone else was in their cars. I politely got out the car stood at the door with the other lady( learned that during the Marilyn launch). Within a minute there was 20 women standing behind me. At 9:58 I called inside and asked them to hold me a heroine and ablaze lipliner. I was first through the door at 10:00am my stuff was on hold and I had him pull a couple other items for me plus the other ladies stuff that was standing at the door before me. The other women were rolling their eyes at me!!! I checked out and got the hell out of Macy's before they jumped me in the parking lot!!!!!

Just got back from the counter and picked up Ablaze lipstick, Ablaze lipliner, Heroine lipstick, and Silly lipglass (a nice surprise); however, I blanked on picking up Heroine lipglass! D'oh! I could probably make due since I own the other two glosses it's being compared to most: RIS and AMPL. Still, it's hard to resist a purple, even if it's a lipgloss. I almost picked up Embrace Me lipstick but the MA mentioned it looked like a matte cross between Girl About Town and CYY, so I figured I could just matte those down together and reduce my lipstick collection. Not to toot my own horn, though, but I have to say it looks amazing on NC40s.

Didn't bother trying on Silly lipstick because I figured it'd look bad by the quick hand swatch but now I wonder if it could be the perfect Barbie pink I've been looking for... any other WOC loving it? I'm starting to sift through the thread to see if I trek over to the mall with my tail between my legs over not picking it up the first time. I'm wearing Silly l/g over Ablaze l/s now and it's gooorgeous. Will swatch a bit later.

Also, has no one bought the eyeshadows? I can't even find reviews! Alaze eyeshadow was pretty but seemed kind of powdery. Embrace Me e/s looked exactly like Passionate on my skin.

I'm an nc44 and silly came off very chalky and unflattering on me.
You're spot on about embrace me on WOC, stunning!

Just got my heroine lip glass. MACs standard shipping took a week to get to me. I hate having to be that patient. I don't feel like this was a total necessary purchase for me after putting it on. Maybe I'll like it more on top of the lipstick or lip liner (once that arrives). I'm still waiting for my backups &heroine liner from Nordstrom. Tracking info still just says label was created &I got my shipping conf. days ago. They did this last time and said everything should be fine, which it was. I'm just so OCD with checking where my packages are and what my delivery date is. Has anyone on the west coast received their Nordies orders?

I think this has finally talked me out of Embrace Me lipstick

I own every single MAC she listed. I'll stock up on the liner though, obviously because it goes with every one of those!

Unless they've made it permanent recently I don't think so? I last got it with the Beth Ditto collection I believe

Same here about my nordies order tracking is not showing anything. I think I might receive mine on Tuesday but I am just hoping.
