MAC Hey, Sailor! (Summer 2012) Discussion

[MRV]

I'm so pissed off with Mac today. I was happily playing with my black box and new goodies earlier today until it came to my mind "did I really pay that much for this (little) amount of items?" NO! Sun Dipped and 167 SH Brush are missing from my order!!?? I called the mail order right away and all they could say was that "sorry, we have no control over the stock".

If a Mac employee enters my order directly into their system, they have no control over the stock???

I placed my order within less than 24 hours from the release 12 days ago and the items were not sold out for days after that.

Not happy

. I will not pay the local rip off price for the brush (almost the double compared to US), and all the bronzer are sold out, of course.

Aw, that sucks. Did you order in the UK? Maybe there is a restock?

I finally tried Jaunty (my tactic is to try one new product at a time and stretch out the love). Woah. (imagine that in the Keanu Reeves voice from the Matrix). This is my HG "I am looking like a Hollywood starlet with thick black eyeliner and a soft pale gold eye" look. Its love.

And, I don't know why I waited so long to get Crystal Avalanche, but I love it on the tearducts and brow. I know its perm, so no rush, but I love it in the special packaging, easier to find in the MU drawer.

And, if anyone is looking for a lip erase in the prolongwear formula, Saunter is it. I look half dead in it--imagine Myth in prolongwear lip pencil form.

I am not so sure I am loving TCAS, as I wore Saunter underneath and it didn't look right--way too chalky. Gonna try that again later.

I could not resist a 2nd haul after the restock, so I got Fleet Fast and Feeling Fresh plus the red prolongwear liner. Have not tried them yet, reviews will follow in the slow fashion.

Did I mention the make up bags are so fricking cute? I am not sure if they are my favorite of the collection, or the eyeshadows or the lip products. I have to say, I think I am liking this the best of ANY summer collection from MAC, as yet. Yes, even better than Semi Precious, or To the Beach or Surf Baby.

Yep. I understood that they might restock, but that would not help me. If they do not have the items on the dispatch day, you won't get them.

They are going to refund (have to stalk my account to make sure they do), but it still sucks when you do not get what you paid for.

That's awful! Also, I thought they are only suppose to charge your credit card/debit card when they actually ship you the items. Whenever I order something online, they usually tell me that items will only be charged once they're shipped.

Until now I have thought so too (and so far it has always been like that). I was actually credited the day I ordered (Friday), and I just thought that they were quick to ship my items. That was not the case though, they shipped the following week only.

I don't get any detailed messages on my orders (just a comfirmation that I have ordered). They do send a paper note, but it always arrives after the package.

Does Mac online UK ship to Finland? I always thought they ship only to UK addresses. Or do you order somewhere else?

No, it's not the UK online, but UK Mail Order you have to call to.

Oh I see, thanks!

I finally received my loot after a 2 week mixup with Nordstrom's. I bought Crew highlight powder, jaunty e/s, salute and to catch a sailor l/s, orange tempera l/g, and 2 haute & naughty mascaras and 1 false lash extreme black. (the mascaras were buy 2, get one free for nordstrom's annual event) I was supposed to get blessedly rich l/g also, but i guess the SA forgot? I pre-saled the items on 5/19. They processed my order on 5/25, but I just received it today. I'm annoyed and I'm feeling anti-climactic about my haul.

Oh no! So sorry you didn't get Blessedly Rich l/g. I have an extra one if you want it. PM me if you are interested.

Today I'm sporting Jaunty on the inner lid with Barefoot in the V and Havana in the crease with winged liner. Gorgeous neutral eye with a kick! I'm definitely putting a good dent in Jaunty lately. Looove it!

 

[Spanky]

GlamQueen, that is YOUR red! You can just pack the rest of 'em in right now, babe!

 You think so? I have yet to experiment with Kanga Rouge l/s again as well as Runaway Red and Scarlet Ibis lipsticks again and thank you liba!!

Glam Queen, you look beautiful in both those lg's but since I'm a red lippie addict I think u look drop dead hot in the SMS! Honestly, there is a red that works for everyone, but you just got to search for the right one & u hit it out of the park. I hope this means we will see more beautiful FOTDS with nice red lips. (If you want to try Runaway Red I bought 2 because I bought it blind, but I'm not in love with it. Point being, if you're interested in buying my BU PM me.)

I'm NC25-30 at the moment with cool undertones, would Sun Dipped or Nude On Board work better on me? I'm leaning more towards Sun Dipped at the moment though. Would appreciate recommendations as I won't be able to see the bronzers irl to swatch. Thanks!

I'm NC20 and went with Sun Dipped, it feels a little easier for me not to look overdone. NOB looked a little muddy on me. HTH.

Hi everyone! I've missed you guys & missed the MU addicts enabling group I was a part and missed the friendships I felt a part of. On the day that HS hit stores I posted about my cruddy day & week it had been. I was so overwhelmed & thankful by the positive thoughts that were sent my way. I really appreciate it. I was going to write everyone back, but everything unraveled in life so I was unable to get on & write. Life's been kickin me down and MU hasn't been a big blip on my radar. Thanks for all the warm fuzzies I got from a lot of you about the things that happened to me. I hope I will be able to get back in the groove of things. Big hugs to everyone! (My iPad keeps changing my words so I apologize for the wires words that get thrown in.)

Duckrodeo, I'm a little behind the time here, sorry. But...I saw the picture of you wearing Salute and I think you really rocked it! It looks great with your hair color. I hope your enjoying your goodies.

Thank you!!! I was waiting for you to pop up on here to see how RR and SMS looks on me. Now I'm going to experiment with Scarlet Ibis, Runaway Red and Kanga Rouge lipsticks!

I think those reds will look great on you. I want pictures! I was able to get Kanga Rouge at the CCO recently & I really love it. Glad to chat again! Hugs!

I re-tried sail la vie yesterday at home.... I'm thinking about giving it a second (well, third) chance. I need a pin up look so i get used to the orangeness.
I typically do a pin up (simple neutral eye with liner and crazy lip) to get used to new colors. I dont know why...

I do that as well. A pin up look works with every colour i've tried so far.

Do you find it too orange on you?

 

[baghdad81]

weird idea for you piarpeet: my mua today was rocking an orange lip and had like a pale-peachy look going on with light bronzer and keep it casual on the cheekbone really blended out.. I want to say she had something like samoa silk on her lids and just mascara but it looked awe-rsome....It was really ethereal but modern!
