MAC Holiday 2012 Glamour Daze / Fabulousness / Guilty Passions Collection Discussion - Page 159

Is anyone in Canada still waiting for their orders to be processed?  

I ordered when it was released on Tues at noon and opted for express shipping and still nothing from FedEx =/  

I think I might have missed their same day processing cut off time, can't recall what it was.  Usually I get my order the very next day though.  

They do say processing within 1-2 days so I'm still hoping....Would suck to have to wait until next week after paying express to get it faster ><

I'm going to check more stuff out later today and brought YR, but I have a feeling identical swatches won't keep me from buying it.

     i agree with cartoonchic. you dont need both.

After looking and reviewing my list, I downsized and took the eyeshadows out. My pre-sale list for pick-up are left with:

- Superb Skinfinish (2)

- Whisper of Gilt Skinfinish (1)

- Feminine Edge Fluidline (1)

- Everything That Glitters nail lacquer

- Teal crushed metallic pigments (forget the name)

That swatch looks nothing like the past Mystery Kohls. I even left a comment about it. I don't know what's going on with that. I sure hope the new ones don't look like that. 

Just signed up for Ebates. This can't be good for my wallet lol

It scared me as well!  Allura's swatches of it look a lot better so it's very confusing and difficult to make a final decision on.

When I swatched it the other day it looked a lot like Allura's swatches. Its really pretty. I'm going to get it. Didn't seem dry to me either... but maybe I'm used to dry eyeliners. haha.

Same here!

The texture of these ones really seems to be different from previous releases.I still have some and they do all have

a nice texture and good pigmentation.

Absolutely they do.  While they're at it, MAC should extend free shipping, regardless of the amount spent, all of the time!  We spend loads there and shouldn't have to pay for shipping.

I have no idea what I was thinking! I spend the most around the holidays, though, so this should make me feel better.

Does Sephora use Ebates??

I am seriously lemming that gorgeous Cinderella mirror!

EDIT: It's out of stock :(

I LOVE Ebates! I've been signed up for a little over a year and earned almost $200 cash back. Which just shows how much of a shopaholic I am, but it's definitely nice to get some $$$ back after a big haul!

they normally have 4% cash back and every once in a while they double it to 8%

Yes my order still says Pending on the MAC site as well, I placed it at Tues around 11am. They USUALLY fast then that with regular shipping to process orders. I was getting worried that my items had sold out. 

I picked up my Cinderella Mirror in store as it sold out the 3 week after the lunch online.

I'm accustomed to Mystery looking like the swatches in Lauren Clark's blog. I don't know if she's using the GD one or a past release but this is how I'm used to it looking.

no one seems too excited about fluidlines? i only got little black bow 

Black Bow was the nicest of the 3 IMO. The other two work best as an eyeshadow with all that glitter.

Thank you rosieposie75!

I'll now have less guilt when I shop online so much. These companies are good. Hook, line and sinker

I just called my Sephora and she said they have lots in store. She offered to hold it for me, but mentioned that won't be necessary since they have a lot of stock. I said I'll pick it up tomorrow without the hold.

I bought Catch My Eye, but haven't tested it out yet. I was thinking of using it more as a base. How are you liking LBB?

I bought one and I LOVE it, it's so pretty. I haven't taken it out of the box yet. Haha. Think I'll just keep it on my vanity so I can stare at it.

....exactly!

I don't have ordering drama, and heretofore, my system of pre-ordering via my local MAC store & Nordstrom worked flawlessly.  Well, today I nearly had a heart attack.  Per usual, I preordered via my favorite SA at Nordies a week ago.  She suggested that either I would call her today, October 25 (no mistake here, I wrote it down...documentation matters) or she would call me.  At 10:30 sharp (thought I'd give her 30 minutes to get settled at the start of her workday) alarms on both my iPhone & iPad said, it's time to make the call.  When I called I was told she WAS OFF TODAY!!  My sank.  I mentioned my pre-order from a week ago and the SA said, "no problem I'll check the back for your order".  When she came back to the phone she had found NO ORDER.  After magically resuscitating myself, I heard the words..."Not to worry, let's review your list."  So while on the phone, gasping for air and diaphoresing profusely, this 'Angel of MAC' via Nordstrom pulled the items that I wanted.  A portion of my pre-order involved items not yet launched, so she is confirming those...no problem. I am still recovering...

.

Edited 4 hours later   

BUT GOOD Stuff here...this is awesome folks.  I waited for the  'Angel of MAC' via Nordstrom to call me back about the not yet launched items, but when the phone rang it was my original favorite SA.  She had been scheduled to work today when we spoke last week, but in the interim her schedule was changed.  She came in today to complete my order but neither the  'Angel of MAC' via Nordstrom nor I was aware of her intentions.  That's dedication.  You have to love Nordies and I certainly love my original SA and the  'Angel of MAC' via Nordstrom.  My goods are on the way!
