However, it doesn't give me a tracking number. Usually Macy's gives you a tracking number. But in Macy's defense, they haven't e-mailed me yet. Usually they update the website first, and then a few hours later they send you the shipped e-mail. So I'll wait until I get the "shipped e-mail", if I even get one. It's just weird that the site isn't showing a tracking number. It ALWAYS shows one.

I saw that Macy's had Heatherette this morning - but I got home from work about 4:30 pm and it only shows a promo pic now - you can't order anything! WTF?! I wonder if they weren't supposed to make it available until the 20th?

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

Even if it sells out quickly, I wouldn't be surprised if more popular items are restocked, like Barbie was last year. In fact I haven't seen this kind of demand for a collection since Barbie. The packaging is fun, the product colors are perfect for spring and there is even a new product (dual eye pencils) as well. I've been jonesing for this collection since I saw the promo ad product pictures.

and thank you, erine1881, for the info about the eye trio cases. I was hoping to refill with other eye shadows, once the ones they come with are used up and keep using the palette for quite sometime.

Yes Lollipop Loving is QUITE frosty. It is verrrryyy reflective, greens and golds flashing on it. None of the swatches on here really do it justice to how it looks in real life. Putting a gloss over it (Sock Hop for me) made it not so frosty

I was lemming it but the more I look at it, the more I dont want it, thining I will never wear it. I can't wait to get Hollywood nights though, I dont have any bright lippies (I'm not much of a ls person) and this looks great

I have class at 8 in the morning on Thursday and I have a break between 9:25 and 1. I'm guessing I should go then, b/c I'll die if I go at like 4 and something is sold out.

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

I have no idea. Macy's usually has the collection up a little after maccosmetics.com does. But like, if you notice, macys mac section looks EXACTLY like the mac site one, so i dont know if they have some kind of special script or some crap that automatically adds the new mac to macys when maccosmetics.com does?

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

The packaging makes it look like the play makeup i used when I was 5. I do't know if thats good or not. I'm loving the idea of it, though. Heatherette is bomb!

I dont know if this has been mentioned and sorry if it already was, but for those of you who want to know.....the Starlet Kiss lipglass is similar to the Viva Glam VI SE lipglass but a lil more pigmented.

Aww, really? Well I guess I don't need that one, then. All well LOL. Maybe I'll get Style Minx instead... Thanks for the info, though, cause I was wondering.

Asking this again... is green flash a nice look for the lips?

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

YES you'd be surprised! I LOVE this, and now want to look for other lip products that reflect green. On makeupalley.com, the reviews of Palatial lustreglass say that the green reflections 'brightens up the face' or something. I like how someone on here described it, 'looks like you just ate a lollipop/jollyrancher'.

I tried to catch the green reflects in my swatches I posted, but it wasn't happening, you can only see the gold kind of. But trust me it's NICE! It's not like dark green at all, more of light lime green

No problem! Cuz I wore it today and I was looking at my lips like "I have something that looks like this" and it dawned on me, "Ah, the Viva Glam lipglass". Its still pretty though. Just wanted to throw that out there so people can save as much money as they can.

I just got this same email. So, can we expect our orders shipped in two weeks, or are we going to have to reorder them in two weeks? The wording wasn't very clear, to me anyway.

Also, I used a partial gift card with my original order, do you think they'll transfer that over to the over-all cost of my Heatherette shipment? And I already ran it by the credit card holder that I was going to be charging X amount of money to the card, now it's going to read Y amount, and in two weeks, Z amount? I wouldn't mind if they just charged me for the whole order right now, that way I could trust my gift card deduction went through , I wasn't going to incur more shipping costs, and it would make a tidier process of my credit card order.

Kind of drains the fun of this collection a little bit, but I'm still excited. Every large corporation drops the ball on occasion, I still love ya, MAC. Just more cautiously.

edit, as I always do: For anyone curious, I ordered my stuff a little after 10 a clock, EST. There were NO out-of-stock notifications at the time my order was placed. So, don't gauge the availability of your order just based on whether or not you saw any of those circles, because apparently, they were sold out even before the site was updated with the graphics. I thought mine would be one of the ones to get shipped within 72 hours, because I placed it while everything was showing as in-stock.

the wording is pretty clear. sorry that you don't understand it. if you still want all your stuff, don't do anything and wait for the stuff to arrive. if you want to cancel any or all of the order, call them.

Is Bonus Beat similar to C-thru?

Yeah, on second read-through it seems quite obvious. My initial shock and dismay from the two week waiting period must've startled my usually massive comprehension skills. I just wanted to be absolutely positive about what it meant. Makeup is serious business, after all!

I just hope that my gift card balance gets deducted from the total cost of my Heatherette order.

vv Excellent, thank you for the reassurance! I edited myself because my words seemed parse, I wasn't sure my tone was coming through correctly. Sorry about that!

did you use the entire amount of the gc? if so, then they will (or should) deduct that from the total, with the rest going on the cc. since they still have your order, they have the gc# and cc#. since they told you that $xx will be put on the card, they legally can't put more on it. as long as you have an order confirmation email, or printed your order from the site after placing it, stating how much will go on the card, you'll be ok. and so will the cc holder.
