MAC Strength Collection Discussion (December 2012)

[BunnyHeffner]

has anyone been able to go to the MAC stores and pre-order anything from this collection? I'm going to have to if it's possible

I also preordered at my MAC store. I can't take the stress of stalking online anymore!

lucky! my MAC store won't let me preorder and I work the day of the collection release -_- I get out at 2pm
I know the collection will be sold out by the time I get out, at least everything I want will be plus it's less chance on
getting anything since it's only actual MAC stores only.

What did you pre-order btw!?

That is why I preordered. I will have to pay for shipping but that is ok with me!

You still have to pay for shipping when you preorder? I'll stick to online.

Yep! The MAC store is in another city and they charge shipping. I don't feel like stalking the site so paying shipping is ok with me.

Welp, I guess Strength's not online and MAC store only after all. Good news for those of you who prefer going to your counters.

I cannot wait to get Pink Pigeon and Party Parrot! I love bright lips.

I've been wearing Quick Sizzle a lot lately.

How is it possible that there are pics of the Archie collection everywhere and we still do not have one of this collection!! I am dying to see it!

QS is stunning

This!

I wish we could get a straight or I guess consistent answer about where this collection will be. My counter SA said this she will not be getting this collection. So frustrating.

Well my Macys is supposed to. If they do, I can always do a CP for you

the only time I pre-ordered was for Quick Sizzle, and when I went to go pick them up, they couldn't find my stuff anywhere.. the MUA was like "I'm so sorry, they must've sold it blah blah"..
I was beyond pissed, but I was able to hunt down QS (though i had to drive around),so thank god for that! Point is, I don't trust the MUA's around me with pre-orders, & there's absolutely no way I'm missing out on these lipsticks. With that being said, looks like I'll be stalking the site

Totally agree! QS rules!

LOL

I really hope I don't have any issues with my preorder. This is my first time doing a preorder so it would really suck if they mess it up!

I only want one blush from this collection. I wish we had swatches to I could decide and be ready to order.



Powder Blush

Taupe Shape – Satiny taupe

Poised – Muted pinkish brown

Me too.

 

[Corally]

I probably want both blushes. But is Strength US only? I thought it was MAC only but now I'm not sure..

The lovely CartoonChic has got me covered, but I appreciate the thought Charlie.

Talked to my MA today about the collection. They aren't getting it at my Bay counter so she suggested I order Taupe Shape immediately as she expects it to sell fast since it is unique. She said Poised reminds her of Blushbaby and Pink Cult.
