Besides, my sister just recycled for 4 lipsticks from this collection.

My MAC store wouldn't allow me to B2M for the LE lippies the last time I tried to B2M since they only allow permanent lipsticks, eyeshadows and lipglasses to be B2M only.

I wonder if you call them and tell them about it you would get refunded for it. I'd try calling them if I was you,m just in case.

I think it was a free shipping offer. I don't really remember because it was a few weeks ago, lol. I'm sure if I had paid for it, I would've picked up the phone and asked for that refund!

Wow my package isn't due to arrive until jan 4th :/ ouch lol

I like how the tracking for my package says "2 business days" but it says it will arrive by the end of the day on 1/2. Wouldn't 2 business days be 12/29? I'm unsure which anticipated arrival date to believe, but I'll be getting my package sometime between those two days I guess!

Has anyonel else here been told by their MAC freestanding store that this won't release until Jan 3rd? Looks like most people who've gone to stores have been able to purchase. I've called mine twice and been told not 'til. 1/3 both times! Arrrgh.

MAC at Dillards also told me the same thing....no LE lippies...

Yes, you need some purple and brown lip pencils! But if I had to pick one pencil to use from what you have, I would go with Beet. My next choice would be Cherry. Lasting Sensation is one of my favorite pencils and it does pair nicely with Party Parrot. However, I find that it brings out the orange/coral tones in Party Parrot and makes it even brighter. On our deeper skin tone, we'll be moving pass neon into radioactive territor

Hey ladies,

I have to agree with CC . Beet pencil is HG for my pinks.

I went through this yesterday. Lo and behold, I popped into my Pro store today and the manager told me she got a call from the District Manager (I think) telling them that stores should put it out today. She called the only other freestanding store in the city and sure enough, they were almost sold out of all the lipsticks. They were willing to set aside one each of Pink Pigeon and Party Parrot (their last ones of each), and Strong Woman. They were already sold out of Firm Form. Had they put it out yesterday after I left, there probably would have been nothing left and they wouldn't have called me like they told me they would.

 

[Baby1black]

Damn don't make me wish I got a backup of papa.

U should have. However u never know maybe they will make it permanent but it is close to impassioned so not likely,but I would say they should make a purple lippie like heroine perm. They do not have one.

 

[MommyLuvsMU]

Oh great. Thanks for the info. Guess I'll stalk the store tomorrow. I only want Party Parrot and Pink Pingeon. Maybe the cosmetic gods will be with me.

Yes. I was told only the PRO stores had the collection & the other stores would get it on the 3rd. I did end up getting my lippies from a PRO store.

You should go back and tell em it's been released at every other store and most are sold out of all the lipsticks. Maybe then they'll call someone and be told the right information.

I got my Strength blushes from two non-Pro stores.

The real question is whether MAC will restock online--I'm not hopeful. Even if they do, the chances of me being online to catch it again are probably pretty slim.
