Specktra Scoop - MAC Cosmetics to launch LE Lipstick as a California Exclusive

[MonBlanCesS]

I seriously wait for my mail to come everyday like a kid waits for the ice cream truck (WOW how lame am I ??? lol) but that is how bad I want to get that lipstick. I think its time to give up...how sad MAC broke my heart

 

[blackrose]

I do the same thing! So so sad!

Ack!

If I were you, I'd go in to MAC and try to explain what happened and see if I could talk an MA into giving one to me...

For as much as I spend, I should of got the damn card.

And I waited everyday for the mail ...

I usually order my MAC online but if I do go to a MAC store this weekend I'm going to say, "OMG, I was so disappointed I didn't get a postcard for the free lipstick!", and maybe if they have extra they would take pity on me...

 

[twilightessence]

I did that LOL. She didn't take pity on me

So sad I didn't get one either.

Haha, well it's worth a try I guess! Although I have heard that San Diego's MAC is low on them.

 

[blackrose]

So for the lucky ones who did get a lipstick, is it true that it resembles Angel? Thats on my list to get anyway..

i didnt think so. california dreamin' is more of a frosty pink...where i found angel to be more of a peachy nude color.

maybe its just me though.

 

[blackrose]

Well I tried to get a free lipstick yesterday but nobody took pity on me at MAC afterall! Haha! So if California Dreamin' doesn't look like Angel, can anyone tell if it does resemble another MAC lipstick?

ive heard it resembles snob...but i dont have it so i cant do a swatch comparison

 

[Stormy]

There's several on eBay right now. Perhaps this will driver the overall ending prices down now that there are a few more! I mean, even $50 or $60 is better than $100!

I just got mine I bought off ebay today and for those wondering how it compares to Snob or about dupes, Snob is MUCH brighter. This color reminds me of Viva Glam IV. Such a nice nude lippie and in my opinion worth the $$

I would if my MA was there but she is on sick leave for 2 weeks

She would probably give me one.

But its too late now.

I just swapped for one on MUA. A $50 mac e-cert for the lippie and two Naughty Nauticals piggie samples. Not too shabby, considering people were paying $100 on eBay! I swear, I am crazy for spending this luch on a lippie!
