MAC Strength Collection Discussion (December 2012) - Page 76

It most likely won't at all. This collection was changed to online/store only (apparently with a few exceptions), so it's unlikely it'll go online anywhere else aside from mac's site.

It's just something about owning something that everybody can't get

I liked my exclusive feeling lol

 

It looks so beautiful on your skin!!! :)

 

I have a similar skin tone and I can't make it work on me like it does on you

hahaha i know right! they are closed now....but i will

I see, thanks for the info!

Oh night blooming totally forgot about because was not interested in it.

Well still no shipping notice. I'm not worried since tomorrow is Xmas and I got reg shipping and of course im sick again when another collection comes out.

Keep an eye out anyway. The way things are going with mac, ya never know what they'll do!

Same here! I ordered about this time last night and mine still says pending. Not that that means anything, but still. It makes ya hold your breath a bit. 😥

Still no shipping notice for my first order. That one includes SW and PiPi. I need it to ship!!!

I called to Pro Store in Vegas that was listed in a previous post and they had everything in stock still. I am so glad and thanked them for allowing me to not have to waste my Christmas Eve stalking the MAC website.

it can work maybe u should use a liner but I didn't....is that Katniss in ur avi

To everyone that's worried about not getting their shipment confirmation yet, I wouldn't worry too much. I placed my order last night & called CS this afternoon to make sure that my order went through without any problems & the rep that I spoke with said that they were working as fast as they could to get everyone's orders out ASAP. She told me that my order had indeed been filled & provided a tracking number. She also said it takes a while for tracking info to show up on ups.com & couldn't give a delivery ETA due to the carriers holiday schedule. Btw, I just got my shipping confirmation just a few minutes ago LOL

To all who are still waiting for their shipping confirmation, I'm in the same boat!  Guessing everything is fine, but of course I'm going to be a little on edge until I know everything has shipped.  Got my order in at least a few hours before anything I ordered went OOS, so I'm sure I'm okay.  Sure would like a tracking number so I know when to expect my package though!!!

 

To all who celebrate it, Merry Christmas!!!      Hope your day is merry and bright!

Just curious- how many BU did you ladies & gentleman get? This is my first time not getting any & I know I'm going to regret it but I don't currently have the funds

Just remember that MAC releases like 40 collections a year (haha) there will always be more favorites to find and fall in love with (when funds permit!) No worries :)

do you use a lot of your products up?

i never get back-ups, but it's also very rare for me to finish colour cosmetics...they generally spoil first if anything, or i get bored of them...

I placed my AC order and this collection like 2 mins apart but only had my AC lippies ship. I guess that's ok... will save money ;) Naw, I'm sure it's fine. Weird, but fine. I just don't expect anything else from MAC.

For some strange reason my phone won't let me quote anything right now but this response is to HoneyMilk: you're so right! I think I already have a few too many backups as it is but I always think I need more (it's the addict in me lol). I think I should just stick with what I ordered & be happy with that. Now it's time to start obsessing over the upcoming collections like Archie's Girls (I've already signed up my sister & I for the Archie's Girls event in Feb.)

Like I said a minute ago, my phone is acting weird & not letting me quote but this response is for aradhana: to be completely honest, I haven't touched my backups yet. I know- shame on me but I'm very OCD so when I find something I like, I tend to go overboard. I have quite a few BU that Idk if I'll ever get to but I can't seem to part with them. It's silly, I know & I'm not trying to be greedy by hoarding them..

My order of Party Parrot and Firm Form shipped today! FF l/s for a CP and PaPa l/s can be for anyone that is unable to get it or in case miss out on it.

The SA at my Macys counter told me they will get it sometime next year.

Yazmin thank you so much for getting my pink pigeon for me!!! shes beautiful!! and came early so i can wear her tomorrow

not at all.  there are a lot of people who similarly feel better knowing they aren't going to run out of a product they really like, works well for them or that they wear often!

 

i don't think people should feel pressured to back up things just because they're LE before they've even tried them irl, unfortunately the way these collection releases go, that's what a large number of people have resorted to.

 

it seems like a lot of people eventually realize which of their backups they need to hang on to, and which they can safely let go of, at which point the clearance bin comes in handy for sales and swaps!

So the closest thing I have to SW is OCC's Hoochie, but its nothing alike!! Top Hoochie, bottom SW. Left taken in my room, right restroom! Hth someone. I'm around nc 30-35.

Got tired of waiting for a restock so I placed 2 Pink Pigeons on hold at a MAC store. Feels good to finally have peace of mind about this!

Guess Sw looks different on everyone because my husband couldnt tell the difference from Heroine and Strong woman. Sw is my new obsession:) and my new Pink Pigeon is a lot more neon for some reason than my older one

yes it does lol I will be ok once that shipping notice Wednesday then I can breathe.

more neon you say?! That is quite exciting to hear!
