Seems like it's fully gone now. The pic is still there in the lipstick list but when you click on it, it takes you back to the homepage
Uh-uh...nothing can claim worst launch ever except Rihanna - pick any of the multiple launches. Just...too much. Traumatic to this day. Ok, maybe that last sentence was a bit of melodrama, but I can't be sure.

I'll say RiRi Holiday was definitely the worst! I either couldn't get into the waiting room or was in there so long that I gave up after an hour or so!

Well for some reason I feel like the waiting room thing, while annoying, was better than these. We had a time and didn't have to do the whole stalking BS (granted waiting for an hr or two to only pick up the scraps is unfortunate). I personally got some of my riri stuff from Nordies or in store. I just feel everything about BBW was disorganised. Stores launching the wrong days and times. People ordering through the Nordies back door..... that was just too much for me. I can only imagine how much worse the Riri launches would have been had they happened in this day the way the IG hype is now.

I agree. RiRi Holiday and the RHPS were complete disasters. In fact, every LE collection in the past 2 years has been the perfect example of how not to release a collection. Mac has perfected the art of how to ***K up a LE collection.

I would love to get my hands on another Lavender Jade. Would you believe they actually sent me an extra one by accident and I gave it away.

Yes! Please Mac. Is that asking for too much? Huh?

But then again, buying the much coveted lipstick that was sold out in a matter of minutes does give one a great rush. It is sad for the ones who really wanted an item and were too late to buy it, but MAC won't sell less because of the drama. I do think it is part of the charm of a limited collection. Knowing that it really is limited.

Fair point. Well made BUT why can't the collection stay around for at least a full 24 HOURS. Is that too much to ask???

Well, if you know that a collection will be sold for 24 hours you still don't know how much of the collection has been sold. Everybody in the world could have bought a lipstick plus 3 bu's. It still doesn't have this exclusive feel. Maybe mac could give us more insight in how "exclusive" a collection is to just say that they will sell a number of items and just print numbers on the packaging.
Knowing mac they will number the first lipstick 10 and then go up so that everybody wil buy even quicker when a collection launches. Addicts will do anything so that they can own the covetet single number on a lipstick.
Then again: I wear clothing that is numbered and my boyfriend wears shoes that will be sold in 2 pairs per size. I am a sucker for anything limited. If mac tells me a collection will be permanent, I will always spend my cash on a limited collection. Everything to prevent fear of missing out. Thing is, I will never ever (aside form VG1) buy from a permanent collection because there are so much limited collections coming out. Offcourse I buy permanent collections from other brands but the whole limited thing is what got me sucked into mac. It's a gimmick and it works.
