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!

I see... you are so lucky!

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.

[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!

I just knew it! I had a feeling I received it and it was tossed. My gut was right.

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...

[Seeking Refuge]

For as much as I spend, I should of got the damn card. And I waited everyday for the mail ...

[blackrose]

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 .

[Divinity]

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!
