I think its random, 90% of the time i go to one particular mac store and they were the ones who sent me the invite. The last time i got one was for style warriors and i got an invite in the mail. But for this collection i was in california so i couldn't go and they sent me an invite through email. I know for the mac stores you have to be in their system in order to get invites.

And not all stores have pre launch parties for every collection they usually have them after the collection has been out for a few weeks.

I've never been to a mac store, only the counters at the bay.

I have to go go get a physical tomorrow and drug tests and then they hire people on the 14th and we start training July 12 or so. That will put me right at the point my current benefits run out and I shouldnt have to file another extension!! I still am leery that something will come up and I wont get hired or some crazy thing because I've had such bad luck but I think it will be ok

Congrats on the job!!

I know how you feel. It's like I'm "MAC saturated".

I heard about my first one through here - it was for Spring Colour Forecast. I just called the store and asked to be put on the list

They gave me a time slot to come and voila! RIPE PEACH BEFORE EVERYONE! *mwahahaha*

Oh and on another note:

The Bay at Yonge/Bloor is launching TTB tomorrow. I;m not sure if its the same for all of The Bays....

People are already calling and asking the MAs to hold stuff. My MA said its been nuts and shes been fielding calls non-stop since they opened this morning. I saw the drawer....its not very full at all! From what I saw, its only 4-6 of each products minus the lipsticks and pencils. I didn't ask how many MLs they had tho...

Ladies...if you are planning to purchase from a freestanding MAC store you may want to call and see if they have it out now! My local freestanding store was told to put the collection out NOW!

Wow, this thread has left me in the dust! I am too lazy to quote, but I agree with several things AudreyNicole has said. I, too am glad there are no collections in June. Kinda tired of the frenzy. It's just out of control now. The reason for this is due to not only hysteria, but low quantities of product being sent to stores. It's as if Mac wants this to happen. I think we deserve better than that.

On a happier note, I wore Marine Life again today and I am sooo in love with it. Looking in the mirror, taking pics, my chubby little cheeks have such a merry glow. This is the second time I've worn it and I also swatched it several times and I'm still not done with the gold shimmer. I am looking forward to getting beyond it though b/c I know it'll still be just as pigmented and gorgeous. So glad I bought 2!

I personally don't really care that the seahorse has an overspray, it still looks pretty without.

Marine life is a nice product but it is worth going crazy for and paying $70 on ebay? No.


I am loving Lazy day. Fluerry of fun didn't excite me at all. If it had a more opaque violet or pink base though, I bet I would get it.

 

[pampie]

ML is still up for Canadians that want it!!

No makeup product is worth that kind of money! I am head over heels in love with Marine Life, but had I missed out, I still never would've paid that kind of money. The same reason why I haven't searched for Ripe Peach. Paying 40/50 and beyond for some powder is ridiculous. Especially considering the actual retail price. I know people may want to make some money, but it's all shady to me.

Congrats on the job!!! Unemployment really sucks.


In other news, I'm contemplating buying the beach bag - any thoughts on the bag? Did anybody buy it?
I really like the beachy-ness und the summery feeling of it.
