I love both of these shades, they're totally the types of colors I wear. Como La Flor is so vibrant and pretty! And Amor Prohibido reminds me of a brownish version of my all time fav Mac lipstick, Ahoy There. Really happy with these!

Thanks!!! I got these two as well! They should be here today. :)

I had the Nordies cancellation emails fiasco with the Osbournes collection. It was beyond frustrating. I would have probably not have bothered with Selena items if we didn't have the MAC presale, no matter how much I wanted the lipsticks.

I'm wearing Como La Flor today, it's such a gorgeous color. I think it will be a great holiday red too. It doesn't feel like an Amplified at all to me, it definitely feels more like a Cremesheen. My other Amplifieds are much drier, like half matte (I'm thinking Vegas Volt). Typically for work I wear liquid lipsticks or mattes, so we'll see how this holds up over the day.

i agree. The color itself is nice but its just too shiney for my taste

I'm starting to think the only hope is a Mac.com restock. Especially for Bidi Bidi Bom Bom. I know it was a mess on Mac for the general launch but compared to how quick these department stores are selling out, it seems like the chances are slightly better

It looks like they weren't supplied with sufficient stock (surprise!) I agree re the restock. Is MAC still confirming that's happening?

Poor little Belk is like the last kid left at the end of a Dodgeball game and all the Mac fans are holding the balls waiting to attack lol
LOL! That is a great analogy! I wonder if they are even aware of how much traffic is going to descend on them as soon as that release goes live?!? Probably nothing the likes of them has seen in years!

Tell me about it! I never even knew they existed until a past MAC launch!

I knew about Belk because my grandma used to live by both a Belk and a Belk outlet store in Florida. Also, Belk does periodically send out coupon codes for beauty, so I have purchased a few UD and MAC items from them from time to tome.

I love CLF! It had great wear on me the other day at work,didn't slide around or bleed like some other Amplified reds I have.

I learned about Belk after the Marilyn launch. When I saw people mention it during Marilyn I thought it was a chain in the Netherlands (I have NO idea where I got this from) and thought "I don't want to pay for shipping from Europe" :club::bonk:I later realized it was a US store and I missed out on some items lol I felt so dumb!

Where I grew up, Belk used to be Leggetts (sp?).

I'm Canadian, then moved to NYC 10 years ago so yeah, I had no idea. There aren't any in NYC.

So I'm on my laptop now and see a different message on their website:
"This item is not available for internet purchase. Please contact one of our stores for information about this item."
EDIT:
Okay, I'm an ass, I did a search here to find the Belk link and the Dillard's one came up and I just thought that was it. So this message is Dillard's!! OMG, both stores we don't have here in NYC so they're all one and the same to me.

Does that mean they're not even launching online??


Ah, just saw Naomi's post and on my cell it still says

Good to know...no matter the red, I always line...coz bleeding is one of my major pet peeves! ;)

I usually have it big time with Amplified shades besides Up the Amp and Neon Orange, they just slide around and give me Heath Ledger Joker mouth.

I wonder why?? You're the 2nd person. Mine shipped UPS from PA. Maybe it depends on the warehouse.
