Finally picked my package up even though it came in on tuesday.. Sunset beach is VERY pigmented for me. must be quality control issues or temptalia is truly on some other sh*t lmaoooo! ocean beach is nice too, takes a little more work to show up on my skin.

I got my MAC online order today. I purchased all four of the lipsticks and both blushes. Everything was correct. I'm happy that I ordered both blushes. Originally I had planned on purchasing only Ocean City, and we all know how that would have turned out.

Here's a pic of me wearing Sunset Beach and Primrose (I'm a NC30-35 for reference).

is that just primrose? or do you have a liner under it or something? the color looks incredible!

Thank you! I'm wearing Primrose on top of a clear lipliner. I lined and completely filled in my lips using Urban Decay "Ozone" lipliner. Since the lustre formula is so sheer and slick, using this lipliner gives the lipstick something to grab onto. It also extended the wear like crazy. It stayed on until I ate cheap, greasy pizza with my muscle stud (nickname for my boyfriend).

I was hoping for a rec for the all over powder and Diffused Light was at the top of my list.  I think there is one Dim Light and also wondering about the palette that has 3 of them?  I got so overwhelmed I didn't get any!  I also looked at blush but by that time I could not make up my mind on anything.  Sephora overwhelms me, there is just too much to choose from!  My mind goes bonkers.  I fill up my cart then never check out... I got my box and guess what, ordered SB, but got OC.  hboy:   Receipt says SB but the blush in the box is clearly labeled OC. MAC is whack, what can I say?   I sent you a PM in case you want to

That's what I wanted my primrose to look like. Instead it was so sheer and patchy. Just blah. Your, however, look amazing

Mangrove!

Ok this is sunlight. Mangrove on the lips with Ablaze lip liner and on my cheeks I got OC on with a bit of Melba on top!

Love it on you.Gorgeous!

 

[Dolly Snow]

Not the best photo, sorry I'm omw to work. But me in Mangrove

Pretty much it is amazing on you!

 

[Pretty Honeybee]

Thanks! This really shows the difference!

Your welcome! Yes it does!

OC is so pretty! I have one coming from Belk so I should be getting the correct one. So sorry for you girls that got caught up in the mixup!

I think it's a beautiful color as well. Hopefully in the end it works out for everyone that was affected.

Thank you @Pretty Honeybee  !!! They're too similar IMO to go through the hassle of tracking down OC. Going to call MAC to get my refund and consider SB a free gift to myself for putting up with MAC's shenanigans! 

Your welcome! I hope you get through quickly, I know the frustration is a bit much for some.

You look gorgeous! :eyelove:

This is sunset beach on for WOC who may want to see what it looks like on. I was just trying it on because like everyone else I got the wrong blush instead of OC and since we get to keep it I figured why not.

That is so pretty on you!

Wearing MAC Sunset Beach ombre blush and MAC Pinkfringe lipstick

Beautiful combo! I love them both.

Just as I hit submit on this gleeful message, I open it up AND LOOK AT THIS SHIT:

... I hope your able to get a replacement.

So my refund is complete! Just checked my PP account and sure enough there's my money! That was extra fast! Very pleased!

Good for you!

This is me wearing Pink Fringe & Sunset Beach. I apologize for the horrible lighting, I rarely take selfies. I just wanted to show how beautiful PF & SB are! I was totally going to skip those 2, I'm so glad I didn't! Oh By the way, I lined my lips lightly with chestnut lip liner.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful! Pinkfringe will suit many skin tones!

 

[Pretty Honeybee]

I can't get over how amazingly these colors suit your skin tone!

Thanks a bunch KrystalAnne!

I'm happy all went well! You look amazing! Primrose looks fabulous on you woman! :eyelove:

 

[fabulousmoolah]

basically, the blushes got switched. everyone received the opposite. if you call mac, they will a. refund you and you will keep sunset beach or b. you can wait it out and see if they end up getting more ocean city. if they do, you will get it. if not, you will get the refund. it will just take more time. you will keep SB either way.

what a lot of people are doing is going to the stores and buying the blush then wanted, then calling mac to get the refund. if you can find oc in a store, i suggest that. that is what i did- i ordered SB, received OC. after lots of confusion, i purchased SB at bloomindales, called mac, and was refunded for the error.
good luck!

Thank you I hope I can get them to send me OC. If I can keep the SB I might wear it occasionally but it's really not a good color for me.

Thank you! Try lining your lips and then filling them in with a clear lipliner (Urban Decay "Ozone"; Milani makes one, too) then apply Primrose.
