They were ?ing me & saying u must b selling it because no one could ever wear this much MU by themselves (not to mention they must have put on at least 2 crates full of MU to cover up their heinous looks away). They r the ruddest bunch of fat, miserable b--tches on a power high. I had to stop going there be cause I don't think they'll let me purchase anything. Honestly. I wanted to tell them to shove it up their ______ but i wanted the shit so bad i just tried to tell them it is all for me. What is their business what I do with my MU??? The 1st time I ever went I was the only person in there for literally 2 hours searching & swatching & they never said a word to me about the limits or the 'rules'. So I never go there, it's the bigger 1 of the 2 that we have somewhat (1 hour, speeding with no traffic, which is super rare in Atlanta) close to where I live. But the other 1 has such a small selection of stuff, but they don't care. They said I could pay 2 different ways if I went over 300$.
Anyone get the shakedown from old meanies at the CCO???

Spanky, that's their company policy.  $300 per purchase, no more than 3 of one item.  It's nothing personal.  My big haul had to be split into 4 transactions.  I made them over 2 days.  I paid cash for 2 transactions, check card for the other.  Estee Lauder tries to keep the "Halo" effect - meaning that they limit what you can buy so it dissuades resellers.  I've had to call their corporate office and fight because the one i normally shop at has a brush set for $450.  In NY, it's illegal to have in writing the $300 policy, but then sell something for higher.  I challenged them to sell me the brush set for $300 since, as I told them, the NY Attorney General would not look too kindly at their policy.  Corporate said ok, but by then I was too pissed off and didn't want it.  (of course, now I wish I had bought it!!)  I would go in to your CCO and annoy them on purpose if they treated me that way.  They should not have asked for ID.  I have pictures of my 2 foot tall/8 drawer organizer on my phone and every CCO I go into I show them it so they see that it's just me being a MAC junkie.  If there's something you are looking for, let me know and I can see if my CCO has it.

 

Hope this helps!!

It was on my wish list, and I'm glad I didn't order it because it looks way too rusty for me!

post #3185 of 7900

My package is out for delivery!!  YAY for overnight shipping!! 

 

I see that only Supernova is sold out.  Of course I didn't buy it and now I'm wondering if I should have?  Or do I just want it now because it's sold out?!

I think that way too at times. I could have absolutely no interest in an item. But the minute it sells out, I think what, it sold out?! There must be something special about it that I didn't notice before.

post #3190 of 7900
for some reason I am rethinking my preorder. since I technically already paid for it with a gift card, I can't return em. supernova is one of the items and I feel it would be too bright on me so I may sell. I also picked up the pink msf and am wondering if it will be too glittery for my skin. guess when I go to the store I will wear no makeup and out all this on my face lol

Good to know you like Earthshine. I'm a little nervous about my first MSF. From what I gleaned through this thread, I can use a MSF as a highlighter, bronzer, contour, blush and even eye shadow. I really like that this product can have so many uses. I made my first attempts at highlighting last week. I'm learning how to do my makeup in phases so I don't get overwhelmed. Baby steps.

post #3193 of 7900

So far, both MSFs look terrible on T. I don't think she knows the meaning of applying with a light hand. th_rolleye0014.gif She managed to sheer out CoTU in her swatch, but then it seems she put layers of it on her cheeks. I don't get it.

It looks terrible but I guess I get it. She's mentioned in the past that she over applies in order to really show the color. It's not what I'd do but I guess there's a reason why I don't review products haha. /shrug

 

Is NAILS still a valid overnight code?

NAILS worked for me yesterday.  I would think it's still valid.

I can't give thumbs up to posts anymore, it says I'm over my limit for rating content. lol.gif

 

Still can't make up my mind about wanting Earthsine, Light Year and Stratus or not. T's pics of wearing Earthsine make me think it won't work for me.

She tends to pile on colour onto her cheeks - I think us pale ladies will manage to have a lighter hand and make it look beautiful!

post #3198 of 7900

I think that's the problem, you have no idea whether it's possible to sheer it out enough for it to be wearable.

Yes, I think so too... I think I will get it anyway - if it really doesn't work, I guess I can sell it. It just looks so pretty and unique, I don't want to miss out!

This is a quick & dirty swatch, hope it helps! Light Year on the left, Redhead on the right - blended out and then heavily swatched.

I am.. I tried explaining to him that I had free shipping since my order was over $150  and I paid the additional $10 for overnight and his response was "Pro doesn't get free shipping". I'll try calling back tomorrow to speak to someone else. I'm too frustrated right now to deal with anyone. I'll just sit here drooling over all the gorgeous swatches.


That's ridiculous! I ordered last night, and mine is scheduled to ship this afternoon. I just checked the tracking. I would DEFINITELY call and complain.

I'm hoping we'll see it on someone with a lighter skintone before the collection releaes over here. 

post #3204 of 7900

Exactly....it is definitely not the kind of MSF we do often see!

Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated.

You can call and ask them. They recycle their tracking #s too, so that could be something. I would just call and ask what's up.

Lisa, what color is the cream sheen glass on the right? Looks plummy in the tube? Thanks for the swatches everyone! Beautiful!
post #3210 of 7900

I got mine! Can't touch or swatch anything until I take great pictures of everything while it's brand new.
