The front just has a bunch of lipsticks on it... it's almost like a "haha you almost got one limited edition free from us"

WHAT A TEASE! It even has lipsticks all over it? That would piss me off!

Wth!?

Why would anyone want to pay that much for a stupid l/s even if its MAC! Argghhh like there isn't a similar color in the perm line. My friend told me her cousin got one and she mentioned that it looks like Angel l/s? I don't know how true that is but that was her observation.

When I went to the MAC freestanding store in Santa Barbara, the mua told me that certain freestanding stores will make it so that their database customers get postcards and other stores will not. MAC counters inside dept stores never do and online does not. Well I buy most of my MAC online or inside Macys because the freestanding and PRO stores are both about an hour away.

However, I am in the system for two freestanding store locations and one PRO location because I have bought from them in the past year. I was getting some postcards up until FAFI. I haven't gotten one since then!

I am SO upset about this. All the more reason I am swapping most of my MAC and going to Chanel on some things now. Between this and the fiascos involved where they change launch dates or sell out of LE stuff online within hours just is ridiculous!

Yup, I'm not even that satisfied with my NN haul which I know is my fault. Actually let me correct what I wrote, actually it is a card, not a postcard. So, for those who want to see the card I got, here are the pictures:

^^ I got the same thing!
I've bought and bought for 10+ years and didn''t get the lippie either.
The way they went about the postcard and the l/s distribution was not cool.

so i have been waiting for this postcard and thought it was weird i did not receive it! anyways, i looked at my recycling bin just in case and lo and behold! the postcard was wedged between some junk mail!

i'm super excited to go pick up the l/s! i hope they haven't run out yet!! and fyi: i don't think it matters how much $$$ you spend at the store. my friend who is a MA told me it's completely at random which makes sense because i spend about $300-$500 every MONTH at the freestanding store!

Lucky you! Thank God you looked back in your recycling! I would hate to think of that gorgeous postcard going to waste!

I did hear from someone in San Diego than they ran out in San Diego and the LA Pro store. True???
Did any of you guys still manage to get the lippie in CA?

I know when I went to get mine the MA who helped me said that there were only a handful left in that store location, so I actually got mine just in time I think

The store I went to was the FS store in Fashion Valley Mall, San Diego, CA.

Not sure what other FS stores are in this city, I'm sure there's another one or two at least because Sandy Eggo is pretty large.

I didn't get a postcard

but my friend (who is just as much of an addict thanks to me) gave me hers (she is SO wonderful!) and I picked up the lipstick at the LA Pro Store last Friday the 6th. There seemed to be quite a few left. The MA told me the reason I didn't get one was because I was a Pro Card member and MAC didn't send them to any of us

Kinda ticks me off though, because my mom is registered and she didn't get one either. She used to spend money like crazy and stopped when I started buying on my own. You'd think she'd be a customer they want back. I think MAC just hates my family, lol!

Well that's crappy...Now I know I wont be getting one!

 

[lizziefishie]

My mom & I are both registered in CA and neither of us got one..I'm disappointed! I reallllyyy hope it didn't get accidentally thrown away, that'd kinda break my heart.

I'm holding onto my unreasonable hope that it will just come late, haha.

lmao.
