I believe they closed in December or maybe even early January. I used to like going to the Galleria MAC, it was always quiet and they always had everything in stock.

You should call Fair Oaks before you go. It seems like most of the freestanding stores released early.

I have a question, if I was to call a store somewhere, would I be able to order over the phone and pick it up?

And if I do, do I need to show the card? Cus my bf is wanting to buy it for me but he needs to go to work in 30 mins. xD

No Marine Life on Bloomingdales.com, as well as no "Weekend" bronzer!

Has the madness died down at all? or is everyone at their mac counters right now?

I'm thinking maybe it was the 130...? I haven't heard much talk on the brushes.. did anyone else order any?

I ordered a back-up of the #130 b/c I love it so much. I used it for my all my liquid foundations, makes all of them streak free and delivers a flawless application, it gets into undereye area, and all the little spots on the face that I had trouble with flat foundation brushes. It hasn't shed on me yet, so a must have for me, I am addicted to it.

I remember that, it was hysteria. I have that palette and haven't touched it, I just look at the packaging

. So if anyone gets ML just to stare at, I completely understand.

 

[LittleMaryJane]

I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to go to my counter today... I figure I won't be able to get a ML so I'm not sure I'm gonna bother as I've already put my order in.. Ugh, I don't know... What to do, what to do

Hmm.. never thought of getting the 130 to use for undereyes, but that makes sense.

 

[GlamQueen21]

I ordered Sand & Sun e/s! Going to not order nothing else! Even though I am tempted to order Humid e/s in pan form.

 

[marajode]

ahhh
MAC delivery day.
It's hard to beat.

I woke up excited and giddy. I even spread out the orders, to extend the Mr Brown shorts anticipation to more than one day.
As I type this, I'm feeling unsure of my sanity...

hmmm.. let's ignore that for now...and stalk UPS site for tracking updates, knowing full well what Mr Brown Shorts' schedule is.
I have no shame.
Today, I meet Mr.Marine Life, Ms.Flurry of Fun, and Mr. Creme Bronzer. Come to Mama!

Its beautiful in the crease - who would've thought. Enjoy that awesome haul!

You are SO sweet for buying ML for your Mom

I have always done things like that for my mom - for no reason.

^^lol, hysterical.

If only Mr. Brown Shorts could be as hot as the Mac boys at the launch party, I'd swoon, be that mine is grumpy and doesn't like to deliver my packages (I can tell), the bar for my dream delivery is absurdly high

 

[BloodMittens]

30 minutes D: To drive to my counter... or not to drive to my counter. Either way, I'm going in PJ's!

[LittleMaryJane]

I will be a courier which is something I really am afraid of doing and don't want to do it the rest of my life but it pays great and no lay offs!! 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

Congratulations on your new job!
And I am sure you will be ok

 

[Junkie]

Gah! You girls almost, ALMOST made me run off with 6 eyelash empties to get Flurry of Fun - thing is, they're not empty...ahahaha...I was gonna rip them out and put them in with other cases! Hahaha, I don't wanna spend another penny on this darn collection!

 

[AudreyNicole]

I have my goodies!!

I love having a counter close to home. Anyway, I was there when they opened at 10am. I was a good girl, and only got what was on my list. I had the opportunity to get Marine Life (they had 2 left) but honestly, I don't see what the big deal is.

While it is pretty, it's not overly unique IMO. And even well after the overspray was gone on the tester, it still had lots of gold sparkles. A definate no-go for me. And it's SUPER pigmented. Holy BRIGHT blush Batman!

So, I am over the moon excited about the things I did get, and have no desire for anything else from the collection. I ended up with:

Easy Lounger l/g
Flurry of Fun l/g
Lazy Day l/s
Sweet and Punchy e/s
Float on By e/k

I already have Hipness, Humid and Shimmermoss. My definate favorites are the lipglasses. They are gorgeous. I put Easy Lounger on as soon as I got in the car, and it looks so beautiful when the sunlight hits it... like tiny little diamonds

Enjoy your hauls, you all!!

I haven't gotten shipment confirmations for the order after my initial one. But 70% of the time I fret, with no tracking number, only to be surprised by a suprise at the door, in the form of a beautiful black box.

I bet it's on it's way...

(but I know, it's aggravating anyway.)

I am sooo lucky. Since I do so much online ordering, especially at Christmas, I've gotten to know my UPS guy (Patrick

). And he is VERY EASY on the eyes. I'd swear, he was working for tips, in that dreamy way he has.

yeah, I like Mac delivery days.
