Dumbasses!

I just keep refreshing hoping PP will re-appear I'm really bummed.

I still have one from a pre-order that I can CP for you. Send me a PM.

I've been unsuccessful finding a Christmas present for myself, so I decided to get things from these collections even though I wasn't eagerly awaiting it, though.

I just saw The Stylish Brow was put up. I skipped this collection, so I went ahead and ordered The Fluidline brow creme in brunette and the 208 brush! Can't wait to try the fluidline. I wanted the MUFE Aqua Brow, but couldn't find my color anywhere

What are the chances of Mac cancelling orders? I was able to place mine and got my confirmation email but with all of this glitches and the collection not even being formally up on the website I am a little worried (newbie at ordering online here

)

Can't see it on the Canadian site yet.

Go to the US site, add the products to your shopping cart, then switch back to the Canadian site.

i find i have a hard time wearing violetta because i'm more comfortable wearing mattes or satins. colours like underworld, firm form, and grey friday are all exceptional to that rule because they are kind of sheer and buildable...

i wore strong woman yesterday, and it was very wearable....i wore absolute power the day before and i found it was surprising (for a matte) how little else i needed with it! in that sense it acted more like shades like cockney and ruffian red do on me, which are much a much lighter finish.

I have no will power. I just ordered a back up of party parrot. I've wanted it forever, and I don't want it to be like my watch me simmer and cyndi, where I am rationing them. So I bit the bullet and did it.

final order today:
party parrot x2
pink pigeon
strong woman
haute attitude

damn this came on earlier than I expected. I put an order in for all lipsticks except for pink pigeon which I had. I'll have to take my chances on the blushes and eyeshadows. I was just anxious to get those.

which eyeshadows/blushes did you get? or did you mean you will get those in store?

yes! I can't wear violetta. but the strong woman looks darker yet more flattering!

Extremely earlier than I thought. I was watching Bravo and missed out on Pink Pigeon! My Mac girl said she would hold it for me so hopefully she does.

Looks like everything is up. Too bad my account is non cooperative atm. Have fun ladies!

 

[Miss Dynamite]

I kept wondering if I should get Stereo Rose because of all the hype...but when I swatched it before, it looked like metallic bar-b-q sauce, same with every swatch I've ever seen of it online. So I don't think I'm gonna bother with that...ick. But I did get All Woman quad and Strong Woman lipstick from this collection along with Mountain Air Pro Longwear Eyeliner, Warm Companion Lipstick, Haute Altitude Lipstick, Stay Warm Mineralize Lip Balm and Rosy Romance Mineralize Lip Balm from Apres Chic.

 

[Yazmin]

I'm so glad I was home when this launched. I was able to get all of the lipsticks I wanted for CPs and to replace the ones I bought for myself but had parted. Now I can uncork that bottle of wine and have a nice celebratory drink!
