MAC X Giambattista Valli Collection (July 2 / 9, 2015)

[bunnypoet]

I do the same with Bounty..

I do this with the Bounty Select-A-Size a well. I could open up a store with how many rolls I bought recently because of a huge sale at Vons (local supermarket chain). I have two messy fur babies, so I need a LOT of paper towels. Cray, I tell ya!

 

[Howards End]

This is my first launch. Is this always the way it goes?

Yes lol. I'd advise stalking Nordstrom starting at 3AM EST. If you order right when the collection launches you can get what you want. If you wait too long that's when orders start getting cancelled. I'm not familiar with Dillard's though

Will this show up online at Nordstrom around midnight or tomorrow morning? I'll be working really late tonight, so I might have a chance to stalk at Nordics and/or Mac's awful new site. If I can get only one from the collection it would be Tats or Bianca B. I'm also eagle eyeing the Rainbow pearls from Guerlain if they show up online at Nordstrom. D:

Can I just say that the Rainbow balls from Guerlain are wonderful!

Do you think some people/resellers use bots.

I'm sure some have the tech savvy knowledge. Heck, look how they ordered through the Nordies app with product numbers before the stock was up online. I'm not that smart

I wonder if that's part of the designer's terms with MAC. "I want people falling all over themselves to get my products so let's confuse the hell out of them and piss them off so they don't stop talking about it. Then look at my pieces sell for 5x their value on ebay with people desperately outbidding each other." I think I remember Bao Bao Wan posting happily that her MAC products had sold out everywhere-it makes them look good. 

I wouldn't doubt it at all! I follow the Giambattista Instagram and I noticed that after the 2nd (when it was supposed to launch) they were posting 1 lipstick pic a day. And I was sitting there like yeah we already know what they look like bc they're supposed to online today! I definitely feel like it was planned

What's everyone aiming to pick up? I'm lightly stalking. If I can grab margherita I might but I'm not gonna be too bummed if I miss out.

I'm so hoping Nordies does get them for the sale. I NEED them

 

[Shars]

Wow. I have no words.

No words are necessary lol.

 

[elegant-one]

Wow. I have no words.

Oh, we had LOTS of words here that release & not many of them were nice ones LOL

 

[elegant-one]

It was! And what's worse is, it happened three times for EACH Riri launch!

No words are necessary lol.

Yes! I hear the word Riri & I want to instantly go into a fetal position & cry!

 

[Haven]

I am debating about going to s counter when they open. It really isn't that far, but it is more the principle of it all. Buying lipstick should not be stressful and time consuming.

Eugenie, Charlotte and Bianca B for me!

 

[Shars]

Yes! I hear the word Riri & I want to instantly go into a fetal position & cry!

Lol! Some how I felt less tortured by the Riri collection than that BBW collection. That was just freaking ridiculous. Then the madness that was the Rocky Horror collection....

Like buying jordans on a sat morning.

MAC (for once) announced the date and time of the launches and to avoid having their server crash, they put everyone in a virtual waiting room. You had to wait until the site let you in before you could order. It was sheer chaos. By the time some people got through, there were only a few things left or everything was sold out *smh*

 

[NaniLovesMAC]

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's swatches of Bianca B! I think it's the prettiest out of the lippies. Kinda wonder if I could make it work for me. Maybe with a pencil like whirl or soar?

Thats a good idea, its may look nice with soar!

The instore launches were just as bad!!

 

[tchristi]

Same thing happens in the sneaker community, nike have postponed many recent launches because of bots the biggest brand can even control it on their own sites. I don't think people would associate bots with makeup/mac but I think some people do uses them. Lately its been so ridiculous certain collections that launch, im also not that smart.

I'm sure some have the tech savvy knowledge. Heck, look how they ordered through the Nordies app with product numbers before the stock was up online. I'm not that smart

 

[NaniLovesMAC]

Maybe be a really pretty milky mauve.

Thats a good idea, its may look nice with soar!
