See, I don't get why people keeping saying you have to be in the system. That's only true at some stores. I went to TWO and that wasn't true...

And I know I didn't get a email or a post card

Well when my BF went for me they didn't ask him for any name or anything, I guess it depends on the store.

you know what might work, if you go to maccosmetics.com right now and make up an account with your email address. Then if the MUA questions you again just say my email is registered on maccosmetics.com. I don't think they can check when you registered. because "technically", you were e-mailed the coupon. When i was first put in the system, they didn't ask me for my email. Try that and the worse that can happen is for them to say no

Well on the email it enables you to "send to a friend" so it shouldn't be a problem unless they were ultimately stingy

My dad went to Valley Fair this morning and got it w/ no problems. I guess it depends on what MA you get.

(i heard the stores still have A LOT) they cant sell it and it's going to go to waste

I called Valley Fair last night and they said they still have a lot of em! I explained to her that I have the email but my email or name doesn't show on the print out (but a friend gave it to me b/c I DIDN'T get it). She said you have to "prove" it was sent directly to me.

Do the Mac locations really have our email on file?? I know that the website does-- the Mac Valley Fair location had my address but they didn't have the house # (wtf? I shop there all the time and no MA has told me that there was info missing on my address).

Did you try it on yet? Or, is it just going to be a 'save'

Well I have 3 now. One is for a friend, the other one I got my mom gave me (she hated the color on her) & the other one will be a backup since I love the color!

My Bunny Pink l/s is my only 'save' & least for right now!

I feel bad that I have 2 for myself though, lol. Oh well....

Great, I'm glad you love the color! That Bunny lipstick is so awesome...I'm glad that I got a backup of it.

My CD lippie should be here today...& hopefully will not be melted

I would hope not!

I wish I was able to get another bunny pink. I just don't want to pay the $$$ for it!

I wont see the one my dad got for me until next weekend.

I put them in the fridge right away. Sometimes, I've actually chased the mailman in his little truck to get them early

He thinks its funny

Just went to FV and got my 2nd one! The first time my BF went and they didnt ask for a name or scan the lipstick. This time they did. BTW, I asked if there were a lot left and the MA said yes.

Can you just see me running after the mail truck in my high heels, freshly painted nails, and blinding Dazzleglass lipgloss yelling....'mr. mailman, do you have my lipstick please?'

Now that I have 2 I feel like i can finally try it out! I wonder what lipglass would look nice w/ CD... Ahh, the possibilities..

yah you right and i am still thinking if i should use it or not

, just because i think it is a collector item now

 

[miss_supra]

I wish I can get this, but I am stuck at home. I just got my wisdom teeth and the pain killers are sending me in a loop.

Anyone nice enough to help me out?
