Thanks! I'll keep that in mind when I go. When I was there in March they had just got the Cinderella and Lightness of Being collection in.

I actually think around $25 is fair. Because you have to factor in ebay fees, paypal fees, sales tax paid and shipping costs. Because lets say someone bought a backup of a shade they ultimately did not like. They could return it and get their money back.. a full refund.Hey ladies.
Want to say first off you guys look absolute beautiful swatching this outrageously hard to get collection. I have tried forever and got my Macys ordered cancelled the following day some days ago. So I refreshed for my life every 15 minutes for days lol. I was able to make my order this AM but lawd knows. If my order is canceled Im just going to erase this sht out of sight out of mind because this is really stupid.
I agree - I feel like I have lost my mind refreshing multiple sites 30 times a day..

I'm just posing a question....... How much do you think is fair to charge for a LE lipstick originally priced at 17.50? Inquiring minds want to know. I believe in karma. What goes around comes around. I would sell it at cost. And, I've found that when I wanted something folks were willing to do the same for me.
How many good things will come to sharks who want to take advantage of people and charge a 50000% markup?
If they sold it at less than $25 - they would be losing money.
On $25 - ebay gets 10%, so that is $2.50 .. Paypal makes a little over $1 . Shipping costs around $3 (including packing supplies, etc).
The original cost where I live would be a few cents less than $19 after tax...
I honestly would happily pay up to $30 - unfortunately I keep checking ebay and no one is selling it for anything around $30. :-(

Thanks. My other grandparents passed before I was born, so I understand. In GV, my favorite is probably Tats, actually. It's different than any other pinks/fuchsias I have, and it looks rockin' on. I get compliments when I wear it. In Frozen Berries, I'm loving Barberry because it's different from anything I have....wish I had been in Canada long enough to grab some maples...My condolences. 99 though, wow! I never met any of my grandmothers, they passed before I was bornWhich is your fav lippie?

Here are the swatches in better light...same order (barberry, juniper, plum, Eugenie). First, inside then out. I have no idea why barberry looks like plum and Eugenie in the pics...it really doesn't in person...it's lighter and more purple.

This makes me so sad, seeing that so many people couldn't get their hands on the lippies they wanted and then there are those people.
If they'd only buy one or two more lippies to resell, I'd say I am okay with that... but that's just mean.
Sorry for bringing up this topic once again, it just find it really annoying.

hboy: this makes me sad too. Especially because I missed out on Eugenie and have been on a vampy lip kick trying to "replace" it in my mind. Lol.Periodinan

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear that. Here in Austria the collection hasn't even been released yet...this makes me sad too. Especially because I missed out on Eugenie and have been on a vampy lip kick trying to "replace" it in my mind. Lol.
Do you own Living Legend? That's one of my fav vampy lipstick. I bet it would look gorgeous on you!

I went from being super excited because of the packaging to being underwhelmed by the color but after trying them all I love them! I got all the lippies except BB because I knew I'll never wear it. I didn't expect it but Charlotte is my favorite, it's such a gorgeous red!!Charlotte lined with RW
So pretty Ladies. Glammy Eugenie is my favorite at the moment. I have to use the other lipsticks yetwearing engenie

Tats for me too tbh. It really is different. It wasn't planned but I'm glad I bought her.

ITA. I'm hoping this stockpiling backfires on these resellers. I think the only shade they can truly hold hostage is Bianca B Sending rays of sunshine to melt their lipsticks️️️️

If they do, it's unpredictable and usually fashionably late. It was always without warning, and it was very rare. It typically seemed to be stuff that wan't in high demand too, like the gloss. What links are you guys refreshing? Just this one from Macy's? I can't believe I missed Tats again...

It's okay! It is dupable. The packaging is :eyelove: though, so part of why I'm feeling remorse for missing out! You are so sweet
I will have to check out that shade!!
