Urban Decay Book of Shadows Vol. III (Fall 2010)

[marajode]

I got mine, seconds before the out of stock started showing up. I don't know if I will get it or not.
But you know, I wanted this for the colors, but I am a little peeved. It seems like they are taking a lesson from Mac. Hype, hype, send to biggest beauty bloggers in time for enough hype to build Use twitter and fb to hype it some more and give a date of release, then be several hours late in releasing it.... and people are stalking the site. Refreshing every 10 seconds.
I don't know. I didn't get any of the book of shadows prior to this. My only experience with ordering from UD is this one, and the Naked palette.

This social network and blogger hyping, then out of stock, back in stock, out of stock routine is making me grumpy!

I am also INCREDIBLY annoyed by this, if youre going to hype it up make sure to have enough once it does go on sale because then they hit ebay and it gets even more ridiculous. This is a circus!

Of course, now on twitter, UD is saying it will restock soon.
I'm sorry you didn't get one today, but it will be back soon, I'm sure.

When is your birthday? Happy birthday early!

Thanks! It's on 9/14. Yeah, I hope to get it soon

Maybe it's a message from above that I should stop spending money on so much makeup!!

I've been going back and forth about buying this for a while. I love Loaded and Rockstar (finally in shadow form!!), but I think I'm more in love with it because it's NY. I'm such a sucker! I really love my AiW, with the exception of MCRA...but this and Venomous Villains? I'm so stuck! I can't believe how fast this has sold out compared to AiW! Maybe it's a sign that I should be strong and walk away...but I don't want to!!!

 

[silentstorm143]

I am done with all the hype shit I to kept going back and forth with should I or shouldn't I get it and you know what forget it. Its like the companies love the drama they create and I try and stay drama free. I am taking the mind frame that if I cant get it before it sells out then I will have that money for something else LE or something on my perm list.

Completely agree
I got completely caught up in the Naked Palette hype and searched for it for weeks and when I finally got it I realized that I had been all stressed out over finding MAKEUP. Ive never felt more ridiculous in my entire life.

LOL..I agree with everyone here..Urban Decay knows exactly what they are doing..getting us all hyped up like this only to be disappointed when they run out of stock in seconds! I am going to stop getting pissed and stressing out..if I get it i get it..if not..oh well!

Yes! That's exactly how I'm starting to feel about the whole thing. Glad I did it when the Naked Palette came out, especially since I didn't find out 'til after it sold out that it was permanent. I ended up saving and used that money for some basics that I ran out of. At least now, I can pick it up at a later time. Thanks, Storm! That's a good way to look at it!

 

[Face2Mac]

For people who didn't get the palettes, from an non-UD fan (although I do have singles of some of them) here are some reasons for not stressing:

1. How many Midnight Cowboys, Last Call and colors renamed from other palettes do you need from Urban decay
2. Their shadows are a glittery mess.
3. They created this hype and they should pay by you withholding your $ from them.
4. It is offensive to non-NYC's, that they created a palette praising NYC. I don't live in NYC, What my city isn't worthy?

Now I will go back to MAC threads now and will be in the VV thread going wild when that collection comes out and is sold out in a matter of hours. I am going to be pissed but it is only makeup, sucks all the same though.

I am glad that I don't have the funds for this, if this palette was gone in 2 seconds. I would like to know who these people were that got them though..going to have to hold out hope to find it at my Ulta in October. That was cheap that they did it in the middle of the afternoon!

 

[amillion]

I got mine shortly after 1 pm. It was merely luck as I just happened to be at home for my lunch break. So glad I waited a few extra minutes because I was just about to go back to work and hit refresh on my screen and there it was. Looking forward to getting it at the Naked palette was just not for me.

 

[SmokeSignal16]

Wow so it sold out in 2 seconds?!?!? Holy shit dude! I was at a seminar all day so I didn't know it took such a short time to sell out. But my mom happened to be home and she must have checked at the right time and managed to order me one

 

[amillion]

The 2 secs was actually 10 minutes per the folks on facebook. You had to literally sit and stalk on your computer which is what I did as I ate lunch and read facebook posts. Had nothing else to do so glad it worked in my favor. Takes a lot of pressure off me to fight through the folks when it hits sephora or sells out again on urbandecay.com. Took me quite some time to find the Naked palette. Not surpised this thing has been hyped up for the last couple of weeks the difficult thing was knowing when it was going up on the site.

 

[bellaboomboom]

POO!

 

[Sass]

I woke up really early in the morning and waited hours for this palette in New York New York Neeeeeew Yooooooork! I like this palette better than the Alice In Wonderland paletted...less glittery shimmery - but I love glittery and shimmery. And NYC is one of the fashion and beauty capitals in the World so I'm glad it was represented in this palette. Go Urban Decay!!!!

 

[hawaii02]

Did Urban put out their catalog for holiday with more stock of BOS or is it still sold out?? I got their e-mail today

 

[panther27]

They never put the BOS back in stock,it's still sold out.I was confused by that too.I talked too UD cs and they told me to sign up for the back in stock notification,which I did within the first hour of being sold out,and they told me that they would notify the people that signed up in the order of which they have signed up.As to when the BOS will be back in stock,cs wouldn't tell me when.

 

[Ally4MAC]

Sephora has the picture on the website, but it says not in stock. Im not positive, but that might be a good sign that their going to start selling it soon.
