Welp, we're in the same boat... I hope they automatically try again on Monday or Tuesday because I'm off for a few days, but I have no objection to popping in during my leave.Both my orders are also being delivered on Saturday, according to the Postnl tracker. Only, they can't be

A lot of my housemates will be out of the house just like me. One is on a holiday and one just moved to a new house and the new housemate hasn't moved in yet. So that leaves five and I think only 2 or 3 will stay in Eindhoven during the holiday and they might be out during the day for carnaval. I just wrote on our board in the kitchen that I expect packages and I hope someone will notice it.Oh no! I'm sure one of your housemates will collect it on your behalf. You'd think with 7 other people in the flat you'd be certain of having at least one person to receive post at any one time. Clearly it's not the case. I always have things delivered to my work address because I don't like having to ring people's doorbells to collect my goodies. Small envelopes are fine but anything too big to fit through the slot in the letterbox goes to my work address.

Try your tracking code here https://mijnpakket.postnl.nl. They are not using GLS anymore. And it's normal unfortunately for Mac nl to be so slow.Well I ordered for the first time from maccosmetics.nl and I'm not a happy customer at the moment. Nothing has arrived yet. If I order from the Douglas website my package arrives the next day! A have emailed cs and they told me they used GLS as courier. And my tracking codes did not function either. Cs told me to wait a while longer and hope for the best....

Wasn't going to get anything but I brought 2x Party Parrot and 2x Pink Pigeon, I thought they'd be similar to Impassioned and CYY (which i own) but both of them look different on me compared to them two love how they are with my NC 15 complexion. Also got Nicki Minaj 2 tried to to the ombre effect but it isn't going right with my lips being dry with the winter 
Magenta Lip Liner with Nicki Minaj ( Roughtly done, Can do better once my lips are better)
Embrace Me Lipliner with Nicki.
I don't like the Nicki all over the lips, but like an ombre effect in real life looks soooo nice.

Cool! I'll have to give that a try! I wore Jealous quite a bit when i first bought it, but it has languished, lonely, next to UD Acid Rain lipstick and MAC Spring Bean. Thanks for the idea, 2browneyes!

It's still on the US site, at least, and it's coming back in another collection later this year.

I've been wearing Firm Form so much lately, i've decided to get a BU! I've only done that for two other lips products - Go For It lipstick and Flaunting It liquid lip.
I've been wearing it straight. It goes on fine on my lips and is very true to tube color. But next time i'm going to experiment with lip liners - i have some brown, black, and even gold...

The lipstick is very pale and opaque, so you have to be into that to wear it (or wear it with a darker lipstick or liner).
However, the lipglass is very versatile. It's not opaque and can be built up or sheered out, so i think most people, regardless of skin tone or color, can find a way to wear it.

Softer pink tones-coygirl, mocha, pink cult, pink tea... Even more neutral tones such as as blushbaby, prism, TPC, P&P...

I have pink cult and TPC! Does this work well for NC 40?

If they show up on an NC40, sure! Yu can also stick with those same colours, and just darken the tone of them. Instead of soft pink, go with a raspberry colour. Instead of a lighter neutral, go with a deeper one.
Definitely TPC with any red, as TPC is a great neutral neutral. With PC, I'd stick with more of a pink red-mac red, love goddess, RR.

They look awesome on you! Instant regret for skipping Pink Pigeon.Here are pics of me wearing the lipsticks. In order Pink Pigeon, Party Parrot, Strong Woman and Absolute Power. I'm not wearing any lipliner underneath them and I tried to do it fast, so if the application isn't perfect that's why. Pink Pigeon and Party Parrot are brighter in real life. My camera has problems picking up bright pink shades. It also has a problem with purples, but Strong Woman is really close to how it looks in real life. When I wore SW last week I had Magenta underneath it and that made it closer to Heroine in case you don't have Heroine and wanted it.

I have Pink Pigeon if anybody is still looking for it. Used once, SIB. Same price I paid for it $15 plus $2 to ship it. PM me if interested.

Today my package from mac.nl arrived (finally after a lot of extra waiting). Now that should suppose to make me happy right? Well it didn't! I ordered two lipsticks pink pigeon and party parrot and some other things. And then they included a note saying we are not able to deliver the lipsticks. But they did withdraw the money from my bank account. This was the first and last time I ordered from the Dutch website. If this is how they treat there customers then I am done with them !! I am very sorry for being so negative I know this isn't anyones fault accept from mac.nl but I had to get this of my chest.
