Mac - Maleficent (May 15, 2014)

[NaomiH]

Im gonna go out on a limb here and say we prolly wont have any real info for at least another month or more to talk about for Maleficant.

That's what I'm thinking as well, probably tail end of April or early May unless it turns out to be another FOF.

has anyone heard of pyscic  vampires? or the old hag? sorry about the spelling i have issues with that word and spelling

The old hag. Can't even talk about it I'm so scared it'll happen. Had many experiences like that as a teenager, then later in life saw a show about it and was freaked out as I had always just written it off as nightmares. ETA oops sorry just saw the suggestion for new thread.

I know mosts threads go off topic at some point and sometimes new threads are created to continue the talk. I was just asking since it had been going on for a couple of pages and also I think it would be nice for you so you can keep on talking after new info is released and this thread goes back on topic.

screw mac cosmetics horrible horrible customer service mac makeup artist need to learn their ish. Let me start by saying I am a well educated person and I never make moves without doing my homework. I had a mua tell me I could not do back 2 Mac with new collection. Also I then was informed that I could not back 2 Mac Pro palette eye shadows. I have always back 2 Mac those. I'm done with Mac from now on I'm only buying Chanel. I'm over Mac I have been having too many bad experiences. King of Prussia Mac and Mac at Nordstrom are horrible with customer service. Mac has lost a loyal customer. I hope you fellow sisters join me in boycotting Mac. Mac quality has not been there lately. Boycott

I didn't think that the pro eyeshadow pans were eligible; if they were, you could depot and return the plastic outer casing (I do it all the time) and then the metal pan afterwards. Am I wrong about this?

I didnt know your not allowed to talk about anything except the collections in a thread. Like we all shouldnt have a casual convo. The collection comes out in 3 months so this thread should pretty much collect dust until there is new info on it... People make me laugh I swear. Anyways I'd love for you ladies to continue your spooky stories lol im here reading away.

your right as far as i have ever known. the things u can b2m say it on the package. i tried to take in a pro pan they said no like six yrs ago.

 

[lipstickjunkie]

People that are bothered by the off topic convo should just unsubscribe and wait for bloggers to talk about the collection. Dont come on Specktra telling people what they should and shouldnt talk about in a thread its so rude. Simply browse and if you dont like what you see log off and unsubscribe.

Actually the mac threads about certain collections are suppose to stay relatively close to topic. While people naturally chit chat and venture off, you are suppose to make a thread on that. That's why there's different sections called mac chat, off topic, etc there's a lot of forums. So it's okay if someone politely asks for a new thread to be created. Especially if it's taking up pages. They shouldn't come and rip anyone's heads off though Edit: I will add people can do whatever they want. But it's just to keep things organized and confusion down. I always go off topic lol

very well said!

All i care about is this collection has sweet revenge in it

 

[Trigger]

Hmm. Maybe I'm an asshole then when it comes to returns. Hahaha! I only buy MAC at Nordstrom because of their excellent return policy. I feel like I pretty much return at least one thing from every collection I buy, but I do tend to buy LOTS from each collection. In fact, I just bought 2 MSFs, 3 lipsticks, 2 lipglasses, and 2 blushes from FoF. Usually, I only return one or two things if I buy that much, but because MAC wanted to be so hush-hush about FoF and not provide ANY blogger samples, I'm returning EVERYTHING but a lipstick & a lipglass. That makes me sad & upset because it didn't have to be this way. No skin off my back though! Nordie's will take it back! (If anybody wants anything, PM me to see if I have it. I haven't returned yet & I honestly hate doing that, but I need my money back for stuff I'm not using, and since MAC restocked lots of FoF last night, I think I missed my chance to pass these on to someone who didn't already have them.) I don't buy things intending to return them though. They don't seem to do blogger samples anymore, and that's their prerogative, but they keep up these super limited releases. So if I actually want something, I have to buy sight unseen as soon as its released. I am also a WOC, and even when there are blog/IG swatches, they're rarely on a WOC, let alone one with my skintone. So. Either I don't buy at release & pay 2x retail on the secondary market once swatches are posted, or I buy what I'm interested in & return what doesn't work. OR I just live without altogether. Only one of these things results in MAC getting my money. If I can't return, I'll buy FAR less or nothing at all, so that's a losing proposition for them. As far as I'm concerned, if MAC wants to play, I'll play the game right back. I feel like my returns tell Nordstrom that MAC is doing something wrong, and Nordstrom has the supply chain power to get MAC to change their ways OR charge all those returns right back to them. It's obvious that MAC operates on a bottom-line principle. And as a profitable company, they should, but a bottom-line is meaningless when you have bad PR, and as much as I love MAC, I feel like their PR is getting worse & worse. If their problem is counterfeiters, maybe they should stop releasing collections in unattainable sell-out quantities. They're the manufacturer, they control their supply chain. I don't need something to be available for all eternity, but if I only get two shots at a product before it's gone forever, why WOULDN'T someone take advantage of the supply & demand situation that MAC created themselves? The other day, someone in a FB group asked about good MAC lippies for WOC. Nobody could answer without a string of LE or discontinued products. How does that help someone new to the brand? I'm in a couple of nail polish groups too & people complain to high heaven about resellers, eBayers, inflated prices, etc, and all I can tell them is "If this has you so upset, please, don't get into MAC makeup because it is INFINITELY worse." Makeup is more fun when you can share it, and MAC is becoming less and less shareable. Hype is up & hype gets people talking, and that's cool, but hype only lasts so long when you can't rely on the company to provide a reasonable supply, consistent products, and good customer service.
