We just launched the collection yesterday and ML sold out in HOURS!!!!! I had NO idea that a highlight powder would be so sought after. I even called the other locations and thought I would buy it and forgo my discount, no luck. Hawaii is SOLD out. Serioulsy? wow. It's been sitting in our backroom now for a week or so...should have put it on hold

So, I called MAC about the liquidy Thrills and the hair. I'm not happy at all.

They said that they would just have to take it back and refund me, no replacements, no nothing. They need to "test" to see what kind of fluid it is. I def know it's some kind of oil.

I was literally crying on my fiance's chest and he thought I was a total weirdo. "Honey, it's just lipstick"..."NO, it's not! It's a limited edition that's sold out. I really wanted that color...waaaaaaa!!"

I'm sorry

That really, really sucks and I feel for you because Thrills was what I was most excited about.

I assume you've checked local counters and stuff? Both counters I have gone to (in the past two days ha) had everything except ML and lots of it the one girl told me.

My closest store is over 2 hours away and I have a baby at home. I'd get seriously bitched out if I wanted to take a 5 hour trip for a lipstick.

Ah, I see. 2 hours? Ugh! I thought my closest pro store was inconvenient but no where near that far

Glad to know that I was not the only one feeling that way, girls. I want to go back to the counter and check them again.

Today, I thought I was going to make some comparison swatches with Flurry of Fun. So, I lined up my orange-ish lipglass I have. They were Sock Hop, Perennial High Style, and Shine Manish. But looking at them side by side, compare to Flurry of Fun, they didn't look orange at all. They didn't even compare. Sorry girls, I tried.

^ When I get mine I'm going to compare it to Nice to be Nice (from HK) with a little bit of Reflects Transparent Teal glitter. Maybe someone who has those items could give it a try? It's the closest thing I can think of...

I finally got my haul today - I feel like the caboose on this fast-moving train!

2 ML (Nordie's was getting calls all day yesterday for the 2 on hold for me - thank goodness my MUA rang them up!)
Sweet & Punchy, Sand and Sun (the last one) and Firecracker

Thrills, Lazy Day + backups
All 3 l/g + backups
Float on By e/k
Life's a Breeze l/p

Whew! I now cannot wait to try some of the looks you ladies have recommended - this is a great collection!

Ok so I may be taking Sand & Sun back because I don't like the color payoff at all. I even used a brush to pick it up and put it on my hand. It picks swatches with finger and brush something kind of chalky and it falls off. I will try this on my lid tomorrow to see what happens - already know this will make a good brow highlight for me, but I have so many. Now, I'm feeling kinda down because I should have gotten that coral paint pot to use under it (I forget the name). Darn.

I posted last night about the Eaton Centre store not allowing me to B2M for Splashing. I just asked in Mac Chat, and she said it's allowed, and I should talk to the manager. I will print out the transcript and show them in store. But I'm not so sure I want Splashing anymore. I'm thinking of Loud & Lovely cremesheen glass now.

I talked to someone else about the lipsticks. Apparently it's just sweat. I'd rather have a sweaty thrills than no thrills at all (pardon the pun), so I've decided to keep them. LOL

I havent got everything I want from this collection yet...I was wondering what is sold out in stores that you guys have noticed

I already have Marine Life .....I plan to get Scorcher, Hippness, Thrills, Flurry of Fun (maybe), and Firecraker....do most stores still have these items?
