Yay, that's nice! Did you get something, JJ?
I can't stop wondering why Germany always receive the collections late. Half Europe already launched ITG
I'm a little paranoid that even getting to the store at 10 am, I'll not be able to buy a Stereo Rose. Limited editions are not fun anymore

i agree, LEs are stressful. i'm glad i'm a student and i can stop by my mac store first thing in the morning.
i got stereo rose, hang loose and togetherness.
i said this in the ITG thread before, stereo rose is not that amazing. i have msfs that are way prettier.
whoever doesn't get one shouldn't be upset, it's really nothing special (at least to me).

Which are prettier in your opinion?
I have Redhead, which I love - that's the only MSF I own...

Hey girls! I hope all can get the products of this collection
I got a Stereo Rose and a Petticoat, but I was really pissed of with the Pro Store. I called a few times, and they always said that they couldn't hold items. I arrived at the store the moment that opened, and guess what? "Oh, I'm sorry, all SR are reserved"!!!!!
What? I called and I asked to reserve one, but it wasn't possible!
One of the sellers tried to argument that due the high demand, they started to reserving. That's ridiculous, people can't change the rules during the game! I explained that I had called and that wasn't fair, and he kept that face "I'm smiling, but I'll not do anything for you".
At least, he agreed to call KaDeWe and reserve one for me there. It's sad that a lot of people will be disapointed because these last minute reservations.
I think SR it's really pretty, but I agree with JJ, I prefer By Candlelight and Blonde.
I was interested in Hang Loose, but is really light, and kind blueish on me (I felt like Corps Bride). Band of Roses is gorgeous, but too pigmented. It's perfect for dark skin!
And about the lipsticks, I was thinking to get All Styled Up, but is a mischung of Gaga and Saint Germain. I've both, so...
Now I'll be free of the LE crazyness until Disney

This was insane. Absolutely insane.
When I tried to access the douglas site at 6 in the morning, the collection wasn't even up officially but nearly all MSF were sold out.
I tried to call both my counters then - at the one nobody answered THE WHOLE DAY, and at the other, at 10.05, some very harrassed SA answered. I began with "it is possible to" and she cut into the sentence nearly hysterical with "In the Groove? No, we aren't allowed to reserve items and two are already sold out anyway, so best you come to the store asap". Well, obviously, being in the office, I couldn't, but went tonight.
Soooooo - no surprise, SR was sold out, and Petticoat, too.
A very nice MUA told me they got 'plenty' of MSFs (I had a look into their drawers, and sure enough, there were around 20 Comforts left), but all sold out in the first minutes.
I ordered Band of Roses, Happy Together, Style Influencer and Togetherness at douglas. Style Influencer will go back now after I swatched it at the counter, and about Band of Roses and Happy Together I'm not sure. Pretty, pretty colours, but I think (I'm about NC20-25 at the mo) Band of Roses is scary - so very pigmented!!!!!!!!!! - and Happy Together quite sheer.
What do you girls think?
I applied Band of Roses very lightly over Happy Together at the counter, and well - it's really kind of a post-orgasmic flush...
The MUA let me have a look at the SR tester - it's very pretty, I think. Oh well, MAC'll do other pretty things in the future...

s_lost, conrgatualtions that you GOT you pretty stuff!
I agree with so many things that you described here.
At first, I intended to see all MESFs in person before I buy anything (since there were very contradictory reviews and swatches online). Thatswhy I even didn't try to ask to hold any item for me. I just wanted to come this day before the opening of our MAC counter in Douglas.
This is finally what I did. And you know what???? THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY SINGLE PETTICOATE AND STEREOROSE for sail! They had only testers for them! There was no any single PC and SR in the drawer for clients! Did they hold all of them and replaced somewhere else?
Actually, I tested SR and found out that it is not so spectacular - it is much more warmer (almost brownish in a pan) and less peachy and rosy on skin.
So as many of you I also desided to keep philosphycal attitude and bought By Candellight instead (which is much more pretty and versatile MESF). Well, also bought some other small non-LE stuff...
Band of Roses is really adorable in person and the lighter pink was exactly the shade I was looking for, but the darker shade is the way too dark and pigmented for fair blonds like me.
Please, everyone share with us what kind of pretty things you got?

Wow, after reading all this I am not sure I want Stereo Rose anymore.
And Band of Roses looks so great, but after you saying it is too pigmented I will probably leave it there. Happy Together will definitely come home with me. Well, if it does not turn orange on me
I hope MAC gets their act together soon.
And Silvia, thanks for the review on the Black, Black Cromaline pencil, sounds like an easy skip as well. And it's really awful how the people in the pro store acted. Sounds like they reserved them for their friends and themselves.

Uhh I forgot the collection launched yesterday
. I was too caught up in work and totally didn't check that it was the 8th
. I guess there's no point trying today anymore. Btw, I'm a freelancer so it's technically possible for me to go at 10am to a mac store IF I only remember.
Oh well, on the bright side, I got more money for FF and VV
.
Enjoy your lovely goodies, Silvia and anneri

Wow,it's so much stress getting everything I want from this collection.My Stereo Rose from maccosmetics.de got backordered,I also ordered Hang Loose there.But I thought I wouldn't get it,because it didn't show as shipped and had no trackingnumber.So I ordered another one at douglas along with By Candlelight and I like it like that l/s.But I received the HL from MAC 2 days ago,so I have 2 now and had to send the other one back.Last week I also ordered Jazzed l/s when the collection was on the Breuninger site,before they took it back down.And for one week I didn't know if I would get it.I wrote emails,called.First they wouldn't answer,2 days ago they said that they can't tell me if I'll get it or not.But yesterday I received an email that they shipped it,so I'm super happy about that.I also called douglas if there's a possibility that they will have Stereo Rose or Petticoat online again,and they said:No,definetely not.It's completely sold out.Yesterday morning I checked the site again and Petticoat was there,but as sold out.I kept refreshing the page for like 20 mins and then it said it's available.I quickly ordered it and it's gonna arrive today...So,I'll have everything that I wanted,except SR,of course.I kind of hope that it might pop up again on the douglas site just like Petticoat did.That was just pure luck.
Hang Loose is so pretty,thats my favorite item so far.And btw I like it like that looks just like Snob l/s.
Does anyone know if the collection will be available again on the Breuninger site?
