RiRi Hearts MAC Holiday Collection (December 12, 2013)

[Mizani]

I'm guessing they flew through their online inventory since it seems they didn't limit the quantities to 1 per piece per order this collection. I'm guessing all the resellers were there ready to pounce and got the max quantity allowed (4). I think limiting it to 1 in the past helped things last longer. But now everyone and their mother knows how popular these RiRi collections are! Making it nearly impossible for true makeup and MAC lovers to get their stuff.
And I find it really cute that when a few Specktras were able to use a link to access a past RiRi collection early, THAT was a HUGE deal and they cancelled orders and everything! But it's ok for MAC to launch several minutes early... which is all it takes for professional resellers to get the edge.
Just to prove a point, I won't get anything from this collection now. Not in store. And not during any restocks. MAC knows we'll all start scampering for their items, that's how they get away with this! And I can make a prediction already that the in store launches will be low quantity and a hot mess! This is how they are pumping us all up for RiRi's viva glam campaign. I won't let them win this one. I'm not buying from this collection now no matter what.
I'll get the RiRi viva glam lippie if I like it and it's easily accessible since it's for a good cause. The End.

I didn't even know until reading thru this thread that people were going to be able to order multiples of the same item. Why they all of a sudden decided to do this unlike all the other launches is beyond me and simply ridiculous. What the hell is wrong with MAC? Seriously. The thing that pisses me off about restocks is you have NO CLUE when they occur and they too sell out by the time people realize they happened. What do they expect people to do, check MAC once an hour for the next two weeks? Good GAWD they need to get over themselves!

Lol I feel the same way

I am glad it didn't. I wanted PB far more than BGRR. If BGRR had to be the one to go....so be it!

Glad you were able to get it.

did everyone else get charged for shipping too this time? i called and they told me even if i had a code for free shipping it wouldn't work because there is no free shipping today at all due to the large number of orders. is this true or should i speak with another rep?

I got free shipping. I think pros didn't get free shipping

 

[vaisforluvrs]

orders.

I can't imagine that any company would hold your order until you have the money.

 

[naibellaful]

The site says free shipping on all US orders today

thanks i'm calling back. i knew something sounded weird about it. i can't remember the last time i paid for shipping when ordering from their site.

I was only in the waiting room for a short time. But! The lip colors I wanted were already sold out. Lol.

Me too.. I could NOT believe how quick I got in, but........ it was already sold out.

I was thinking about getting the bronzer, but really just because it's so pretty.. I don't need another bronzer.. I had it in my cart, but then decided against it.

I am not going to waste as much time as I did the last time around. I hope to get Bad Girl Riri..but if not, no biggie.

 

[kyoukona]

yes it is. i'm not going to stress it though but this is real bullshit. at least we can get to see the beautiful ladies of specktra with the lippies until it is released at other stores. :nanas: i'm not going to let this ruin my day lol

Great attitude! I'm mad but not that mad. I can wait for the department store release to catch pleasure bomb. Could care less about bad girl riri at this point. Boo

Already got pleasure bomb on eBay 70 bucks. I hate these people

Dang! I couldn't do that

 

[nudibelle]

US had free shipping

 

[teeyuhkorea]

5-7 business days to process...Did other RiRi collection confirmation orders say this?

Mine says 3-5.... but I'm on the Canadian site, so idk if that makes a difference

 

[Amby79]

really??   I would never pay that much for any lipstick no matter how bad I want it. That's insane 

Hell no! I won't either , but sadly, someone will. That's why they keep doing it

 

[Uptownbackinit]

Seriously? I don't know why Mac can't do a at least some time frame guarantee.

 

[naibellaful]

No! I got free shipping on the U.S. site

thanks for replying. i hope i can get it corrected but if not i'm not complaining.

 

[Ayanna]

Damn I forgot today was launch day. Looks like I'll have to hit my pro store next week, that is as long as I don't get selected for jury. Yes Pleasure Bomb is more important than upholding my civic duties at this moment!

 

[maybeline46]

Sorry for the vent, just super disappointed here, especially knowing ppl got BUs that are going straight to eBay

If it makes you feel any better, all 4 of my devices were in the waiting room at 12:56 and I STILL didn't get any lippies.

Next time, I'm just going to refresh on my own, because clearly there isn't a "first come, first served" type of order to the waiting room. It's just whenever the browser happens to refresh on your timing and theres and opening. My boyfriend who's in tech just explained this....after he finally understood what I meant by MAC's version of "waiting room". It only took him 3 releases lol.

 

[Uptownbackinit]

I wish there was a law against selling for higher price.

 

[LV2EVOLVE]

yes i see that now.. I just got the bag.. Soo sad.. :thud:

The bag is really cute : ) I'm a sucker for quilted textures and rose gold. They did good. They should really consider using special packaging when they promote a product for a year. So, like let's say they keep Riri Woo in special packaging for Viva Glam 2014. Or, have a collection of the most coveted lipsticks in special packaging for a year.

 

[lipstickology]

She didn't know when exactly but she said eventually. smh. what a load of crap.

ugh seriously, that's not helpful at all. I wish they'd at least let people backorder. I work next Thursday morning and won't be able to get to the mall. Hopefully Nordstrom will have it online the same day.

 

[openexpression]

MAC is wrong for this ish. I'm at work and checked in at 10:58am CST and sat in the waiting room until 11:14am CST and Pleasurebomb was sold out. I got another RiRi Woo just for the packaging.

 

[nudibelle]
