I rarely post here but have been reading this thread with tons of interest over this collection (which I really love most of but yet cannot believe all the drama, lol). I have a friend who works at Nordies and from what he says, the counters got PLENTY of stock in everything (or at the very least, more than 2 of any item). He said that counter SA's are buying the ML's themselves AND setting them aside for friends. This is probably happening in the freestanding stores also. My MAC store still had some as of this morning (Scottsdale, AZ) but the SA there said that her manager ordered extras for the store because she knew about the hype over the product. So it may also be that some stores vastly under ordered for their client base/interest.
Anyway, I hope everyone gets or got what they wanted and if not, at least there is always another great collection around the bend.

Yup, I got the same email... and I ordered at 6:30 a.m. (Pacific) on Tuesday!!! How they could have possibly already been sold out at that time, unless (a) people ordered 20 at a time; or (b) they had practically zero stock to begin with - very frustrating!!!
I sent an email to complain!!!

ML was restocked on the site on wednesday too. it doesn't make sense! did anyone else get this email? i'm so mad! >=( |

haha Thanks! I know about Abbotsford too, but my husband won't accept that. We live in North Van, so it's far away... I was SO nervous, wanted to cry, the examiner looked mean even before I knew it would be him to take me to the streets/road...

I wanted my package so bad today that as soon as 10am hit (it's when UPS delivers at my job), I marched myself down to the mailroom at work and scared the guy the manning the front desk. All he had to say to the guys handling the packages was "never get between a women and her packages, get her what she wants fast so I don't have to hear her whine" I couldn't even wait for the mail guys to bring my package to my cubicle
I love this collection. Everything looks beautiful and the packaging. Gorgeous!

This makes me remember one time I got an update from FedEx saying they could not deliver because I wasn't home... But I was! I ran downstairs to see if anybody was there still, but only the delivery notice was there. In the way I saw my neighbor, and now he thinks I'm crazy.

I had to take my test 3 times before I passed. My first two examiners just wouldn't stop talking and I got distracted! I'm sorry your examiner was mean. Examiners shouldn't be mean! They should know we're nervous and be nice! But not talk too much. That's annoying too.

You're much too kind!!!! I'm.....GULP.....41 as of April. I just know my skin isnt what it used to be...I can no longer pass for a 25 yr old. LOL!!
Thanks also BoSsy. On another note......I may very well sell my ML to someone here because I feel bad for those that missed out on it. I was thinking maybe I should've gotten Hipness instead. I really overspent even though I have a job coming I just get scared something will happen.
Right before I lost my job last May I was with my mom in PA for Mothers Day at the mall. We'd gone into Bebe and I bought a dress and a shirt there and I thought to myself......"man what happens if some day I can no longer afford to buy things from this store" and also I felt I was doing well financially...better then I ever had. Not rich by any means but the most I'd ever made and WHAM one week later exactly almost I got laid off! With the new job I will be making only 7 cents less then the last one and wont have to deal with answering phones all day which I hated with a passion...wont have to deal with backstabbers in the office and brown nosers and people that are related or married or to everyone and those not wanting to do what they're suppose to like the last job. My b/f did tell me this afternoon that basically I am hired and I start on June 14th.

I know... I hope next time I have more luck. I know I'm a good driver, and I have some good experience driving in the US and Canada (3 years altogether), but still get nervous because well, I hate being tested.
The worst part of failing is that I will only be able to take another test once we come back from our trip in June/July, and my husband will have a bike ride (for BC Cancer Foundation) in June, and I won't be able to follow him.

When ML sells out at counters and stores, are they removing it from the display, or putting a sold out sticker on it. To me its the stand out product in the collection and makes the display, kwim?
Also, does anyone have MUFE HD Blush in #8, PDA. Could that dupe for the darker side of Marine Life?

Here (in the stores) they remove from the display. Sometimes they place something else where the sold out item was... In the website it usually has "Sold Out", but with Marine Life and Hipness they removed from the website.
