I gave my sister her Christmas present early tonight... I wanted her to be able to enjoy her HK and Diamonds.... Then I proceeded to follow telling her I need her to come wait in line with me early for the holiday collection the day after her finals are done.... Inadvertently bribing? Perhaps :haha:

Wanted to pop in to say I'm one of the evil lurkers

but its not cause I was trying to snatch up Riri stuff, its cause I'm a nerd who loves seeing the drama (good happy drama
cheerleader.gif
not the feelings hurt never logging in again drama

).

Same reason I watch haul videos, lol, sometimes its just fun to see all the "I got it!" "I got mine!" "Finally snagged my lipstick!" announcements and seeing folks show off their shiny new items.

(Sometimes its even better when I can go to bed cause I know I'm not going to be buying anything unlike you poor ladies that have to stalk and stalk.)


I just wanted to say I think its this stupid collection making everyone tense, lol, and its all MAC's doing. I feel like MAC just wanted to have the hype of "Riri sold out in an hour!" and they're just playing games.

I have some experience in makeup inventory and shipping and it seems too unlikely Nordstrom and these other department stores are 'finding' some more Riri items every other 10 minutes, lol. Like I can just picture they shipped out enough TO sell out in that hour, now there's still like 300 boxes left in a warehouse. Now they're just like "Okay...put it on the site slowly...so they snatch it up like its tickets to heaven." Folks are so happy/desperate to get stuff whether its for CP's or what not that they're snatching immediately so they can distribute it to who needs it.

If you're a newbie and you feel downed on, don't. So long as you're not part of the problem (ebay-ers, only using Specktra to get key info etc.) then there's 0 reason to feel that way. I think folks just hate to feel like there's a lot of taking but no giving back like if you're not even registered then how could you offer help to fellow members you know? Maybe you don't have to log in and talk everyday but little comments here and there in support or help really help improve the whole environment.

Oh, also I have some suggestions for dealing with launch day drama without giving up too much info so folks can get stuff. If its cool to pm it to you Richelle I will, but if not cause you're a moderator I won't, lol.

Trying to...
I didn't want HK at all until I saw that compact. The product itself doesn't work for me so I will just use it as a mirror? I don't know.

Most of this collection is not flattering for me and my NW15 skin (except RiriWoo). But I am loving all these pics of you gorgeous WOC ladies rockin TTT and Nude and looking damn good.

The bolded especially!! Well, I agree with all of it but yeah they were probably told too to just slowly release stock Cause more panic and traffic.

Sure, pm me!

Got my stuff today. TTT is hella patchy on me. Im going to try it tomorrow with Nightmoth liner and see how it works. Or maybe NYXs Deep purple liner. i also got RRW l/s & l/g and HK blush duo. I actually like HK although mine arrived slightly cracked on the edge. I called MAC and they do not have any left for a replacement so they may refund me if they do not get any new stock in the next 3 business days. I have diamonds en route to me and maybe nude. Looking forward to those!

I've contemplated getting it but $7 for shipping is cray.
i totally agree the shipping is crazy id rather there lipstick be more expensive and get free shipping or really cheap shipping then have them trying to make money on shipping cost

I dont think that Bronzer is gonna do anything for me at all it looks really close to my skin tone . But I was dazzled by the shiny packaging so I got it.

TTT was patchy at first for me too. I added some balm to my lips and them one more swipe and it was fine. Guess the first swipes aren't as great.
Well at least you might get a refund or new product. HK for me, just like TTT needed the first layer gone before it worked out for me.

That's what I though about the blush. Now that they say it's better this time around I'm intrigued. I will not buy this though. (but it has such pretty packaging and a mirror?!?!) But I will not.

Damn, I hope MAC restocks lol

do you love the Her Cocoa quad? I've been back and forth about it because my UD Naked palette keeps looking at me...
UD Naked hands down....I swatched her coco quad and the colors were so ordinary. I'm sure you already have similar and of better quality already. I'd pass on it.
