MAC Temperature Rising Collection (May 2013)

Its not uncommon for stores to change dates and to release before counters.
I thought someone said Nordstroms released it yesterday too? Unless I misunderstood the comment about releasing early "to compete with Nordstroms." Was that you who heard that, lilinah?

Not that it really matters now that it's out everywhere!!

Hello everyone! Just quickly popping in to mention that I went to buy my goodies from this collection before work this morning and bought the ONLY Bare My Soul quad that was available. Yup, that's right, the store only received one quad to sell (2 total as they put out a tester and the SA who helped me had to take it off the display). Crazy. I don't want to start a frenzy, but anyone who had their heart set on getting this quad should be prepared to either call and put it on hold or get to your local MAC store/counter as early as possible.

There are still a few things on my list to get at lunch so I'll be heading to the Eaton Centre MAC store (maybe The Bay counter as well) so I can do another update on what's left if that helps anyone.

Can anyone swatch Style Curve, Up the Amp and Feel My Pulse? I have a feeling that FMP is maybe a twin to SC.
IDK, SC on me is more pink than the swatches of FMP look but I haven't received FMP to try for myself. FMP looks a little darker and much bluer IMHO hopefully someone who actually has both will weigh in there and let us know...

I think Nordies released it early for their Half-Yearly Sale.

Which store was it that you went to? It's ridiculous that even a small counter would only receive two units of anything, but if that's a free-standing or Pro store, it's unbelievable. I noticed that almost everything is sold out on the Canadian web site. As much as I understand wanting to move stock quickly and creating a frenzy, it's a little disrespectful of people who lead busy lives to have all your stock exhausted a week after launch. This week has been super-busy for me and I haven't had a chance to go to a store. Now I'm wondering if I should bother...

MAC Eaton's Centre always has lots of stock. Try the MAC counter downstairs at at Hudson Bay Centre too. I went there this morning and they had tons!

And I'd also like to mention that even though I went to the preview last week and spent about $300 on this collection, I still went in store this morning to grab an Altered Beige, Rich Glance and face powder brush. I blame you all!

I called my counter at 10:00 when they opened this morning and purchased Underdressed l/g, which was really all I'd planned to grab, but couldn't keep myself from getting RFL after all of the talk here. Plus, I really wanted something in one of the pretty compacts. Here's hoping that RFL is as pretty on as other WOC here say it is! I'll go pick my stuff up when I leave work today.

I was the only person at the counter this morning! I was good and only bought RFL as planned, tried calinte and underdressed but resisted!

...ended up picking up the BMS quad after all lol! This is my third haul from this collection. I'm tempted to get a bronzer solely for the packaging and sell the deported bronzer smh! I also wanted both polishes, but with 1,000 bottles and counting (yes I'm a true nail polish heaux/ fanatic/junkie 1,000 bottles...2 full IKEA helmers and a few plastic shoe boxes full lol) I had to pass...for now.

Hanging out at bit with mom at Macys. It is her bday. Decided to try out a few items I did not place on my pre order list at Nordstrom. I ended up getting Soft Serenade and the Golden Strobe Elixir. Luckily for me, I had a Macys $25 reward certificate from my Macys Visa card so that helped. I am wandering around the store loving the hell outta Caliente I tested however I have it waiting for me at Nordies 2moro. I am looking in every mirror I pass in the cosmetics area, lol

Almost 9 am, my sister is heading to the Mac Counter for me, because of my busy mornings! Gotta love her.
Just sent her for Feel My Pulse.
The other colors are cool but I don't wanna miss out on that pretty magenta purple!
Hope everyone gets what they wanted

I thought that the Eaton Centre store would be sold out of stuff first as it always seems busy (more people and tourists going to the mall in general). I'm heading there on my lunch break to pick up a few more things I was debating on and the Bat counter is my backup plan for anything that is out of stock. :)

Hey it is my mom's birthday tomorrow! She only has one lipstick so I won't be getting any makeup for her.

I was so pissed when I found out this morning that the coll. dropped today. I went on my break to the Cobble Hill/ BK Heights location and they were sold out of the blushes, lippies and lipglasses. They did have the rest and PLENTY of quads. Luckily I have everything else ( including RiRi woo) on hold in Times Square. LOVE the packaging! It's so chic.
