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

[montREALady]

Same here! But my restraint is weakening! I'm so sick of this BS!!! I've been reading on IG and Twitter that Bianca B mysteriously "went missing" or in other cases, sold out before the stores opened! I know some of that is due to presales, but not all!!! The macys location that I frequent only had 2...I got there at 9:30 and was the first one there!..well, aside from the off duty mac girl who was inside with her purchase in hand!!!!!!!!!!! She bought the lippies b4 the damn store even opened! WTF???

They do it all the time. When I called on Tues the guy told me there weren't any BB's for presale that's why I got Margh. Then today the girl when I went to pick up my order was like, "Who told you there weren't any? There's some in the drawer right here, do you want one?" By that time I had already placed my two orders for it online. But wtf?! I didn't need to! The counter downstairs was sold out of it, I told the SA there were more at the counter upstairs, she thanked me on the dl and told the client that they were sold out. She wanted one for herself because she saw the hype. People were calling all morning for BB.

smh i can't stand ppl like this, like why ?? I can't even feel bad for the ppl that fall for the hustle like no lipstick is ever that serious to fork over anything more than $10 over he actual price .

  hboy:

Ugh I wanted to say something so bad but I didn't feel like getting in an IG fight.

:wtf2:

 

I ain't gonna lie, this must be a good hustle because people get so desperate. $30 a pop! I'm not saying it's right, then again, no true "hustle" is. It's just so sad when you see people here who really wanted something and couldn't get it then here comes someone on IG with 20 taking advantage of people. But if you're not exposed to places like Specktra, you don't give two effs about anyone, it's not personal, you're seeing about yourself and that $. Hustlers have no conscience, they can't. I'm being real. OMG, I sound like I'm talking about drug pushers! But it's similar!

It seems like more and more people are sellings tons of MAC online. I've noticed, tho, that with so many selling it there are much lower prices. This might force some to stop if they're not making money. Of course there will still be lots of fakes.

 

[montREALady]

I'm disgusted that she is like I can do $30 Hun for two I can do $60 plus $2.04 for shipping. Get the f out of here

And how is 2/$60 a deal if one is $30? LOLLL.

That's exactly what's going to happen. Too much competition means you have to lower your price and show your ass. That's what you get!

This collection is just underwhelming to me. I don't get the hype...but I assume it's the special packaging which isn't that special....All the colors are dupeable! I'm spending my money elsewhere....

 

[DeeDee2013]

Lemme find out you're an eBay hustla!

I'm sure they'll be on ebay...smh

 

[Melrose]

Hahahaa, he's right but don't tell him. Or any other man who isn't @Melrose 's husband because he gets us :drinks: :macwallet:

:haha: LMAO at that one! He really does get us! He understands the struggle, lol. I don't know exactly when it happened, but I've said it before...I created a makeup monster with that man. He'll walk out of sephora with his forearm full of swatches to come home and show me the "new" colors, lol. Damn, they've even offered him jobs at both mac and Sephora

My counter didn't set a limit of one per customer but I didn't (and wouldn't) feel right buying six or more of popular items from a collection to try and sell them. I know how it feels to miss out on items only to see them selling on ebay for a ridiculous amount. It's more for the packaging because most of this collection can be duped. And I'll bet in the coming months some other makeup line will have a dupe for Bianca B.

 

[SerenLuv]

Yes, Macys gave me a refund in March after 10 days and UPS acknowledging the package was indeed lost. So, I got LJ, FS and 2 nail polishes free. The package was sealed and the lipsticks were in perfect condition. I gave it all to a co-worker for her daughter.

 

[singer82]

Yeah that's me :crybaby: Ugh Macys sucks! Bought a quad from shop cook and they sent the wrong one. And they refused to send me the right one. I took a pic and everything. Even said the correct quad on the shipping notice smh. After that I stopped buying online from them. But I am broke after vegas so using my Macys card was the only option.

If anyone ordered from Macys at launch and still has not gotten an order confirm, check your acct and call them. I ordered from Macys early this morning when it first went up.  Then the whole collection disappeared from their site and so did my order. Of course I did not write the order number down. When I went into my Macys acct, there was no record of the order.  I called CS and they did not have an order for me. This all happened at 4am.  Thank goodness Nordstrom still had the items I wanted, so I ordered from them and received email confirm right away.  My Nordstrom order has now shipped. I said I would not deal with Macys online for MAC releases anymore and I need to stick to that.  Macys and UPS lost my whole BBW order in March.  Good thing I ordered  a backup of LJ when MAC released. And the always helpful @montREALady posted info on Specktra for a Nordstrom that still had stock of FS and I was able to snag one.   So, on June 3rd here comes a Macys/UPS package to my job. What's in it?  My missing BBW order...3 MONTHS LATER!!!

You're kidding re it showing up 3mths later!!! WTF!! Now what? Did you ever get refunded for it? If so then that's a good thing   And that crap this morning, ridic. Was it @singer82  who placed an order with them and still didn't get a confirmation? Oh no.

 

[LauraLara]

D-damn, everything's selling out. Whodathunk. Good thing my order went through!

This is just so selfish. I do know someone who bought something for resell (during rhps) but they bought 2 different lipsticks not several of all. (not that it makes it much better)

I think during the Xmas Riri launch my store was limiting people to 2 of each which I think is a nice way to do it (but youre screwed if you want a BU for yourself and youre buying for someone else)
I just hope the people who buy up so much for the purpose of reselling get their just desserts.
its sad to see so many people who really want it for collecting purposes and because they like it to miss out for people who just want to upsell it and make a buck

 

[iHeartMACxo]

I just don't understand how this b*tch thinks 2 for $60 plus shipping is a discount if she's selling one for $30. Smh...the thirst is real!

 

[DeeDee2013]

Some people are so freaking greedy and selfish....

I recall some idiot attempting to sell Jacelyn's Morphe Palette for $300.00. I told them good luck...greedy bastard! They didn''t sell it for $300 ....last time i peeked in, they had reduced the price to $70
