I'm thoroughly confused!
I looked at the "My Account" section of the MAC site this morning, and they're still showing my Style Minx and Hollywood Nights as "backordered," but there's a UPS tracking number provided for both, with a scheduled delivery date of Monday.

How could these items have been shipped, if they're still backordered?
Oh, well, I guess I'll get them all eventually ...

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

I was wondering if anyone can answer this for me:if I placed an order with a MAC freestanding store,and paid for shipping,could I pick up my order at my Macy's counter?It is just that they use ups and I can't deal with them-they've lost my packages so I refuse.My counter's Heatherette shipment was lost this is why I ask-so not fair.TIA.

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

OMG! So I just got back from my Macy's with my HEATHERETTE!

It's so funny bc I was afraid they would sell out, so I had them hold stuff for me. When I got there [around 10:15] NO ONE was there, haha. The MA was sooo nice and had the coolest Heatherette makeup! She used the Pink Pearl Pigment as a blush [I'm a newbie and didn't know you could do this] and she used the purple liners as eyeshadow. I hope everyone gets their Heatherette soon!!!! I am going to try to do swatches, I don't have a camera, but I will try to use my bf sister's. I feel soo relieved and excited now!!! I am just fearing that I will soon need MAC rehab for this massive addiction I am slowly developing!!!

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

AHH!!! I just got my Heatherette in the mail today! After seeing all this confusion, I'm so glad I CPed it!

Alpha girl is so pretty! It looks fairly subtle, but on my less than NC15, it could easily be used as a blush with a soft 'glow' about it. I'd say it is a fusion of peach and pink, the closest thing in my collection that I could compare it too is Orgasm, but better

And Lollipop Loving....just....gorgeous!! It is such a beautiful peach with pink tones and the gold irridescents that hints at green in certain lights is to die for!! I am seriously contemplating a back up of this!!

And the best part is that there is a sealant/clear plastic coating that goes over the holigraphic designs, so they won't wear away, which was one of my biggest concerns!

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

Wow I have some catching up to do in this thread...

I attempted to go to the Macy's counter at Downtown Crossing in Boston, but unfortunately their shipment (along with the shipment to many different Macy's stores on the east coast) was "lost" in transit. So these stores won't have Heatherette until next week. I wish I had called first to make sure they had it out, because I didn't have enough time to go to the MAC store if I wanted to make my class this morning. Well...I decided I wanted Heatherette more, so I went anyway. I picked up:

-both trios
-Alpha Girl beauty powder (they didn't get Smooth Harmony for some reason)
-Melrose Mood & Hollywood Nights lipsticks
-Style Minx lipglass
-all 4 liners
-Perky paint pot (finally decided to get it)

For a grand total of...$222.08. Ouch. Good thing my tax refund is coming soon!

I was pretty disappointed in Lollipop Lovin' - when I swatched it on my hand I could barely see it on my skin. I tried it on and it was pretty much just shimmer on my lips. Pretty, but I wanted color. Sock Hop was pretty translucent on me too. I guess I was just hoping for a more opaque coral out of one of them. Oh well, less money to spend! I have pretty pigmented lips so I wasn't that surprised, after seeing the swatches here...

Melrose Mood is very unique, and it'll be a challenge to make it work for me...it's definitely not a color I'm used to wearing. Hollywood Nights is now the brightest pink I own, and it looks so gorgeous with Style Minx. Even though I got both Fun N Sexy and Totally It from Fafi, they're nothing like these.

Alpha Girl is my first beauty powder. I haven't played with it yet but it looks so pretty.

Wow, this is great! I also bought Fun 'n' Sexy and Totally It from Fafi, but I am sure to get Hollywood Nights and Style Minx as well.

Can't have enough hot pink lippies for summer!

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

You girls who have already bought your Hollywood Nights... How does the color compare to Girl About Town? I hate ACs, (although I will get Melrose Mood... Just too special to pass up!) and am hoping that HN will be a good replacement.

I'm wanting:
Hollywood Nights

I also have this. I phoned the 1 800 number and the girl I talked to had no idea what it meant and said that she has never seen it before.

Hey! Did you go to the store on Newbury St? I went there too this morning.

Here's what I picked up:

Hollywood Nights L/S
Melrose Mood L/S
Fleshpot L/S
Bonus Beat L/G
Style Minx L/G
Starlet Kiss L/G
Alpha Girl B/P
Pink Pearl Pigment

I love all the lip products I bought. I thought Melrose Mood was going to be a scary mod pink like Out to Shock, but it's actually very wearable, especially with Starlet Kiss on top. I didn't think I was going to like Fleshpot, but it actually looks pretty cool - it probably wouldn't work on ladies with darker skin though (I'm NW15). I love all hot pinks, so of course I love Hollywood Nights.

I passed on Lollipop Loving and Sock Hop. Coral does not suit me.

The pencils were very nice, but the glitter scares me. I have the Softsparkle Pencil set from the holiday collection and I never use them. The other sides of the pencils are nice though - nice and creamy and they glide on easily. Reminds me of the UD 24/7 pencils.

I was a little disappointed in the trios. The only thing special in either one was Mood Ring, and I don't know if I can justify spending $32.50 for one e/s.

yeah i'm not stressing too much, i just wanted it to come today cuz it's Good Friday tomorrow and i wanted something to play with now i regret not stopping by the counter today after class

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

I just loved Melrose Mood - I didn't think i could wear it either, but one coat is just beautiful. I've had Fleshpot for a long time - i've used it to tone down my own lip color so that lipglasses & other lipstick colors show up better.

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

my entire order shipped, both heatherette and non. maybe it's cause i use a different 800#?

i ordered it at 4:30pm EST tuesday, and it came at noon today. maybe it's just luck since tuesday was my bday?

Yep! I was there around 10:20-10:30am I think. Someone was checking out when I came in, and then I was the only one there until I left. A very different shopping atmosphere than the weekends when they're packed!

I definitely agree about Melrose Mood becoming more wearable with the gloss...I passed on Starlet Kiss because I have so many light pinks already. And I played with the pencils a little bit ago, I love how creamy the dark ends are. That surprised me. I like the softsparkle pencils, I should really use them more than I do.

I'm addicted to eye palettes so there was no question I'd be adding those to my collection.
