MAC Punk Couture Collection (December 26, 2013)

[Melrose]

I placed an order early this morning with macys for all the lippies and cremesheen glasses. I missed both of nordstroms launches. But now after reading all the posts regarding macys bad packaging of items and taking forever to ship, I'm worried. My hubby is telling me to still go in on the 26th and buy everything I want just in case. What do you ladies think?

Train bleu

I may need to check out Tom Ford BO bc TB is one of my top 5's!!

I know everyone has me nervous, now!

Interesting. Bc I was thinking PC & Cyber would be identical just about.

I didn't think so at first from all the swatches & but they are VERY similar. Plus the hoarder in me just had to get it lol

Just received my package and didn't have to sign for it. Heard a knock, opened the door and there is was.

So upset! I've been sick the past two nights and missed Nordstrom, Dilliards, and Macys for instigator. I was planning on heading to Macys on Thursday since I'm sure I'm getting a GC for them for Christmas but looks like I might have to stalk MAC's website

I keep missing Instigator too. I had it in my basket in Macys but by the time I clicked check out it was gone. Guess I'll be there bright and early Thursday

Remember ladies check with your counters and stores to see what time they are opening for holiday hours on Thursday. Don't want anybody missing out bc of the wrong time

I'd be mostly concerned if you are getting any baked items from Nude Metallics (EDSF and EDB's) because they are fragile.

Phew! Thank you :bouquet:

You're welcome.

I know! Totally stressing over this collection. A mac SA at macys told me not to worry about it being crazy on the 26th. She doesn't think it'll be like riri. She said this one is more for "die hard mac addicts" lol. My hubby keeps saying just go buy it all and if/ when your macys order arrives you can return it but I'm still freaking out. Makeup shouldn't be this stressful! Especially at this time of the year.

I know!! DEFinitely shouldn't be this stressful. But we keep coming back and enduring the agony. Lol

Oh no just updated my UPS tracking page for my Nords pkg *for the 10th time today. Don't judge me* and it's in the city but it's saying I won't get it until Thursday. Booooo!!

I wouldn't worry about the crowd, I would worry about the RIDICULOUS amount of stock they receive...someone else said they told her 3 of each lipstick at her counter.

Awww...that's the worst! I know a lot of ladies were looking forward to getting their packages/ early Christmas gifts today. That's why I was hesitant to order. I always figured I would just wait til the 26th and go in the the store. I need instant gratification! I don't have patience to wait for things to ship and now that I did order I'm freaking out, lol. My macys opens at 6am but the SA couldn't or wouldn't tell me which doors they open first. I skipped riri holiday and all I know is...I BETTER GET MY STUFF!

Girl, don't say that! I'm on the edge of a full blown panic attack over here! My hubby keeps singing that line from that darn Christmas song " it's the most wonderful time of the year". Mac and their limited stock is NOT making this a wonderful time.

Things really are. lol I say Nars train bleu. Such a pretty color.

Lol, I can't believe I said thinKs.

And thank you ladies for your input. It seems to be almost split on which color. On one side I want to wear Train Bleu but on the other I want to wear BO because it is more moisturizing and with my matte lipsticks coming, I can wear Instigator tomorrow with lips in better condition. I mean, I always moisturize my lips at night and use Prep + Prime under lipstick but not wearing matte lipstick on back to back days will put my lips in optimum condition. Ahh, decisions, decisions!

Im sorry I know the feeling, if you can't get it online when it launches I would just suggest to be there first thing in the morning when they open...unless you have a mac store nearby

I feel your pain! This morning the ups track said it was in my city and going to be delivered today, but now it says it won't be here til the 26th I just want my lipsticks and they're just sitting in the warehouse:/
