The same thing happened to me during the second release of Stereo Rose at my "favorite" (I use that term loosely, now...) Nordstrom counter. I preordered Stereo Rose, and had it set aside for me to pick up the day after the release. Some how, a MA got into my preorder bag, sold MY Stereo Rose away, and I was left with nothing but a refund. I was never able to get Stereo Rose because it sold out everywhere on the first day...

The nerve of some people is exactly right! Sorry to hear that you never got your Stereo Rose. From now on its online stalking if necessary, but I am definitely switching to other brands MAC likes the hype and I am not feeding into it any more.

Here's a pic with Glamourdaze, and my huge cheeks loll I definitely need a BU of this one

I tried Dramatic Encounter again today, I still think it's too dark for me. Beautiful colour, but not sure when I would wear it! However, I tried it too with a pink lipstick and it's beautiful. If DE is too dark for you, try it with a pink or red lipstick! I used Anime lip tar and it turned a gorgeous rich berry purple colour!! If you mix it with a beige or nude lipstick, it will turn out a grey toned purple, which might be cool too!

I know the manager at that counter and when I told her what happened she said that of course what happened was completely unacceptable but that it unfortunately it happens, which I definitely understand that its not easy to control everyone. I am over the situation but MAC and your limited edition BS.

 

Anyways I am in love with Glamourdaze l/s is sooooooo pretty!! And dramatic encounter is gorgeous as well.

Sucks you went through that, but happy that it worked out and you got Superb and WOG.  If it didn't, I have an extra of each that I would have parted with.

I ended up not getting Divine Blue because it looked like someone tried to swatch it on the down low and think I wouldn't notice.  I definitely knew because I was able to take a sneak peak the Sunday prior.  Don't know if it was an employee, or an employee who pulled it from my bag in order to show it to another customer, and that person did it.   Only other time I experienced this was with Reel Sexy - someone pulled my Heroine and my SA pulled it back since I was the first to ask for it at that store.  Fortunately, those have been the only two incidents I have personally experienced.

I love it! Works great as a base and with layering can use it as a liner. 

I am trying to fight the urge to back up Stolen Moment EDES since it might become my HG eyeshadow. I imagine pariing it with Satin Taupe and Dark Edge/Showstopper e/s. As for Outrageously Fun and Impossibly Sweet, I plan to back both of them up soon whenever MAC restockes online.

I haven't used FE yet, but I had absolutely no problem in application when I swatched it.  My main use for this will be as a base, but I may try this as a thin line above Wholesome and/or Dark Diversion.

If the latter restock, that'll be your sign to throw in Stolen Moment.

 LOL! You have convinced me to do that.

I compared Easy Manner and Pink Tea blushes. Believe it or not, they are almost identical! At first, I kept thininking that Easy Manner would be like a dirty peachy version of Immortal Flower but it's not. If you have Pink Tea and feel that you don't need Easy Manner, it is safe to skip Easy Manner.

I got to see, but not test, three of the six Guilty Passions sets. I didn't get to test because my local MAC was just cuh-raaaaa-zy busy today with shoppers and make up appointments. At least i got to peek at two lip gloss boxes - 4 Lavish Rose Lip Gloss & 4 Nicely Nude Lip Gloss - and one crushed metallic pigment box - 4 Tenderly Warm Crushed Metallic Pigments. The sets are all lovely, but...

I went a little nuts with the Vera collection and got ALL THREE metallic pigment sets. I think the Tenderly Warm set is a bit like the Aloha set, but it has a warm pink that reminded me of one of the colors in the Strawberry Patch set. And Moss Garden which is in the Brilliantly Cool set was in the Vera Butterfly Party set. So, what with all the Mineralize e/s i got from Heavenly Creature and all the Extra Dimension e/s i picked up today from Glamour Daze, i'm going to pass on those two sets. But i never seem to have too many purples, so i may cave in and get the Sweetly Smoky set, which has 3 violets or purples (plus a pale cool pink).

In the "4 Lavish Rose Lip Gloss" box what i really want is the Boys Go Crazy lip gloss. I'm not really excited about the two opaque Cremesheen glosses: Going Casual & Colour Saturation. Sigh. Anyone hate Boys Go Crazy and love GC and CS and want to trade?

You've sealed my fate. I've just made myself a liar.

  I did the same thing when I returned Feminine Edge, I initially said money saved then I realized my blacktrack had a hole in the middle and I could see the glass at the bottom the funny thing is tho I just went thru my bag and realized that the MUA gave me Blacktrack but forget to take FE out of the bag now the question is should I take it back or keep it??? Decisions, decisions my husband says I should keep it considering their indiscretions but I don't know I don't feel so great about keeping it

It would be a small consolation to keep it given their mistakes and indiscretions, not to mention the fact that if you return it, it's going to get destroyed anyway.  If you don't want it at all, you could either take it back, or pay it forward and gift it to someone else.

I already said how I called yesterday at 10:30 to my Mac counter and asked them to hold a WOG. They said they are not allowed to hold limited edition items (first time they've ever said this). They had 4 and by the time I got there around 4:30, they were gone. I asked the SA if they had any at this other particular store and he said, "No, but you can order one from the Macy's website! but you either have to spend $50 or pay shipping. By the way when I went in there he was sitting on his @$$ Doing a crossword puzzle. I had to approach him to get help. This is the same SA that said he would call me before Styleseeker came out to take an order. Well, he never called! When Marilyn came around, he did call but I was already ticked at him for not calling me before, so I didn't preorder...and I blame him for not getting any Marilyn goodies. I thought I could just get them from the website, but that was a poor plan! I'm over it though!
Anyways, HoneyonBoost is to thank for my getting WOG! She offered to find me one, which put some fire under my butt! I thought I am just going to call that store that the SA said didn't have any because it is close to my mom's house, and I am going to visit her tomorrow. Low and behold...they had one left this morning! I paid for it over the phone, and am picking it up tomorrow.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to HoneyonBoost and all of you kind Specktrettes that look out for each other! This is an awesome place that I am happy to be a part of!
No thanks to crappy MAC SA! Not sure what I want to do about him at this point...
Now I just hope my goody is really there when I go get it, and not like MACNurse's missing goodies
What the heck MAC?

Yay!! Glad you were able to get your hands on it. My local Mac store sold out of the skin finishes and most of the e/s's & lippies on Thursday but Nordies had quite a few things left. I went back today to see if I could find a natural flirt e/s but every store in the mall was out :( I guess that's a popular one. Luckily it's still online so I guess it's an excuse to get the 130 brush everyone keeps saying is good for the skin finishes.

Love it on you! Good to see a smile on the face after the ordeal you had to go through.

Here's my final Glamour Daze haul. The Smokey palette will be part of my niece's christmas gift but I had to add it cause it's so pretty :)

Definitely keeping it, I though about giving it to my sister with the rest of her Christmas stuff so more than likely that's where it'll go

would love to see someone post a pic of an eye look with A Natural Flirt. Trying to convince myself i don't need it but the swatches look so beautiful!

....OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the prettiest face kit I have ever seen

The box is to die for and I looooooooove the blush,the lippie and gloss sooooo much

I did see those Feminie Edge pictures and they also give me hope. I only plan to use it as a liner. I've been using the 211. I'm not sure if there's a thicker brush to use.

The 209.

Nothing wrong with your cheeks. I love the pic in your avatar too. You make such a cute couple!

I haven't been here (been sick, boo), but here is what I ended up hauling on Thursday. This was more than I wanted to get, but I couldn't knock anything else off of my list!

Outrageously Fun lipstick

Divine Blue EDES
Ready to Party EDES
Stylishly Merry EDES
Catch My Eye FL
Feminine Edge FL
Mystery Kohl Power
I'm the One blush

I am done with this collection now, except for the lavender gloss set.

OF lipstick is GORGEOUS! I wore it out and about today, and I love it. Also wore Mystery; mine looked exactly like Temptalia's swatches when I first put it on. So strange! I had to go over and over it on my left lower lash line, until finally it worked. It applied easily on my right lower lash line after that. Maybe they just need to be broken in?

Originally, I wanted FE and Little Black Bow FLs, but LBB looked like Midnight Snack + glitter on me, so I skipped and went with CME instead. I am not sure if I will be able to keep FE or not. I need to test it on my lower lash line (which is how I will use it) and see if it irritates my eyes. I had wanted Round Midnight EDES, but it pulled a hideous shade of brown on me, so that was a skip. Small Vanity was tempting me too until I swatched it-- it pulled a weird orange shade on my skin.

Innocence lipstick was so pretty too, but I will wait and see if that ends up in my CCO. Ditto for Easy Manner blush; Orpheus, Raven; and Stolen Moment & Evening Grey EDES. If they don't, not worried about it.
