Ohhh, the color is SO me, I am so jealous! I want one so bad!

I like the color and the lipstick is my lemming but the way they did this was at complete random. Its the luck of the draw!
The MA's I talked to said that not everyone in their system will be getting the lipstick and they have to collect the postcard ( according to the MA in San Diego).

Mmm, I never thought of it that way. But I think I would rather another girl who really wanted it to get it over me. I just know if I end up getting it, I would try it and then not want to sell it off to someone just because I had used it.

I really hope that someone who gets this swatches it & tells us its a total dupe for another shade so I can stop obsessing over not getting one, lol

I'm sure the LS and the card will show up on ebay for stooopid prices.

I highly doubt that. That was something recent and I am sure this lipstick was in the works for quite some time now.

thank god for being a live long californian.

Wow MAC where's the love for Toronto??? Amazing how they get so big that they forget their roots!!!! Remember where it all started from?? Give us some love like we all give to you!!!!

That colour kinda reminds me of Snob. I was picturing a sparkly baby pink for Cali!

im pissed mac is taking the postcards when you go to get the lipstick...i really wanted to keep the pc so now im debating which one i want more.

does anyone have any swatches?

i do kinda want it just to be part of the elite few that will have it...but the postcard man...ugh.

 

[twilightessence]

LOL They probably know the postcards are going to be sold on eBay and want to stop that?

That's not cool! I want one as much as the next gal, but I am not going to spam people who don't even know me, or I them. Whoever is going that, that's really inconsiderate!

just imagine how much we could sell it for.

unfortch, we cant even keep them if we want the lipstick.

but i agree, its annoying to have people beg and plead to you.

You should ask the ma's to just scratch out the ino on the other side of the card so it can't be re-used. Maybe they need to keep them for their database purpose but tell them you collect all the postcards! Someone on here mentioned that they would probably mark up the back in black marker so hopefully they will be understanding!

I doubt I will get a postcard since the only mailer I've ever received was the Fafi foldout but...last night I dreamt I got 3 of them!!

Lesson learned: do not read Specktra before bed hahaha.

Some girls on LJ confirmed that they do take the postcard, they staple the receipt to the card and send it to HQ to see who participated

And every one of them pleaded and begged to keep the card

It's policy, unfortunately.

^^^awww that sucks for the collector's and die-hard fans!!! At least you guys still get the lipstick!!!

 

[FlaLadyB]

I called one of the stores too... since I live in Florida.. and she said they have to turn them in. I have emailed MAC .. but not expecting a great answer even though I have a collection dating back to 1994 and DO NOT want to miss out on this!!!

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
