 It's already happening  FoF makes me feel a little better  I am grateful to have one but also wish I could back it up. |
Anyone here who does not like buying lipglosses at all, don't own many glosses for reasons such as you find it a waste of money to spend $14 on it finding yourself falling head over heads with FOF? Calling for help from those with profile that fit in the above description!
I would love to know! I need help getting FOF out of my head like RIGHT NOW!

Too funny - how could anyone not fall in love with the beautiful seahorse with the gold overspray? Plus the colors are lovely to boot! And universal! I think that was the key here - anyone from the lightest to the darkest can wear this powder. I can't say that about a lot of the previous highlight powders. The mua also stated that there have not been any returns of ML or Float on By pencil at her store. Not a one! Nat |
I also think the seahorse design made it quite obvious that it'll be a hot item. But then again it's an overspray that would go away HOWEVER (and maybe this is the part they missed out on) - the overspray was easily made up for by the fact that the colours underneath are gorgeous all alone so consumers still took the plunge and buy it. Perhaps they had planned production for Marine Life based on the thought that in history products with overspray didn't sell well.Quote:

I don't know how long ahead of time MAC HQ decides on how much to produce, but it have heard that the managers here (and presumably in other international markets) decide a whole year in advance how much product they want. E.g. based on how To the Beach did, they will make a prognosis of how much they want of next years summer collection. |
On a similar note....I'm not sure if anyone else notice this but it seems like they have changed up their selling strategy quite a bit for online sales. I've only been into MAC since Hello Kitty so I'm not sure what the trend was prior to that but I remember last year and up until say the Holiday collection they would almost always restock sell-out items on the Canadian site whereas they very rarely restock for the US site. But I noticed starting this year with Too Fabulous collection they have done the complete opposite - restocking on mac.com and not much on mac.ca. I've been observing this pattern and seeing if my observation is valid and for several collections now that seems to be what they're doing. In the past I can truly relax and rely on mac.ca to restock on popular items but certainly not anymore.
Edit: I would add that I want to thank PinkBasset for making the post asking everyone what their favourites are for this collection. I enjoy reading everyone's input very much and I think it's a very fun way to revitalize a thread of a popular collection thread that has almost "died" if you will and it's a good way to conclude discussions in a thread. So thank you PinkBasset for stirring up the thread once again!
I too enjoy reading what are people's favorites after collection has been out awhile. There is no huge hype anymore, and most have been using atleast some of the products they got, so now is the time to read what are the true gems!
