MAC - Love that Look Discussion

[erine1881]

can someone enlighten me as to why mac only sent us 6 rated "r", 6 unbasic white, 6 one-off, 6 fashion, and 6 strike a pose, but sent us a quadrillion style snob, a trillion ego, and a billion grand entrance? so after testers, that leaves 5 of each to sell!

i'm not worried about the fact that we've got smokey & diamonds coming out the ass (wow, now that's some visual!) cuz those sell like hotcakes!

Well Surely you will be getting more in before the end of the month

SHUT the hell up!!!!!!!!!! That is so crazy!!! Please tell me you don't work at Macy's.....My MA at Macy's always says they get treated like step kids from MAC and only get the scraps....
.
The 1st day...the first min you open

 

[erine1881]

i do! it sucks ass!

or right at, what is it?, 8am EST online on tuesday!

 

[TISH1124]

^^ That is what Sarah always says she said we get pure shit and scraps...That is HORRID!!! why is that? She said Nordies is the Queen Bee

 

[erine1881]

its always the ugly colours that they send us a shit-ton of! then it sits there, never sells and takes us drawer space that is greatly needed! it totally sucks! and because they took forever for us to RTV stuff, we were sitting on tons of excess stock, and we're out of alot of perm products that we can't order cuz we haven't gotten the $$ credit from the RTVs to resupply us with the much needed stuff.

we've been out of red enriched for a few months now, but we're sitting on plenty of clarity that doesn't sell and is getting DC'd (they even sent us more after the ToD appeared next to in online).

why mac, why?

 

[TISH1124]

^^ That is pretty sad...something should be able to be done about that cheezy crap...they are not helping their bottom line this way by any means...Sorry Erin

 

[kayley123]

^^Is this a store (Macy's vs Nordstrom) thing, or a location thing? Indiana's probably not the biggest place for selling a brand like MAC, being that we're in conservative corn country here...(I'm not knocking the state, btw--I live here after all--but it is what it is...)

 

[coachkitten]

What a bummer Erin! I will be going to the counter first day to get my shadows. I don't want to miss out on some of these colors.

It has to be a Store thing...I live in Texas and it is the same way here...and everything is Big in Texas lol

However I am sure the Bulk of the items go to MAC/Nordstroms Online so most people will have it before it hits the counters anyway

 

[kayley123]

^^But going to counters is the fun part!

 

[erine1881]

kayley-don't forget we have cows too! and wheat!

i'm not sure how it is at other macys (besides castleton, they always have things left over from collections eons ago!)

like i said before, we sold out of HK, but once they restocked us, we didn't sell shit! so just a week ago when we sent out our RTVs, we literally sent back over 40 each of both quads, tahitian sand and popster, about 30 pretty baby, and 25 reflects very pink!

i mean come on now!

Sometimes...But most times not for me...I spend wayyyyyy too much money when I go...So most times unless I am on the fence I always order what I really want and then take the chance at the counters on my maybes

I will be the first at my counter again

 

[kayley123]

Hey Tish! For me, its safer if I go to the counter and try it on, sometimes just swatching it satisfies my craving for a color (because it makes me decide whether or not its something I would really wear, and whether I think it looks good).
Erin, that's just crazy! I guess you just reach a saturation point really fast--If I remembered my econ class at all, I could remember what its called... Hehe and I forgot, we have soybeans too!

 

[abbyquack]

Well now that there is news that these colors may be limited, I'm all worried about getting them lol. However, looking at the swatches, I'm thinking there are not too many I could see myself wearing. I'm over most greens and blues b/c I never wear them. I like Unbasic White, Rated R, Style Snob and quite possibly Ego, but ugh, I feel like I've seen most of these colors before (as Erin's comparisons definitely confirm). But those tampon eyeliners look enticing! I was good last year, only got 2, so I can get a couple more this year right?

I am always worried to get my LE products, every month again

But I have ever gotten everything I wanted from a new LE collection
