Yes, but it's been repromoted sometime in the not-so-distant past (which s why I have it!

). SR hasn't been repromoted in much longer.

Anyone know if Nordstrom/Macys/Dillards/Bloomingdales launch their mac collections online the same day as the maccosmetics one does?
I already have the tabs up, refreshing periodically, but I need to get my ass to the gym for a few hours. Ha.

Hmm...maybe the demand isn't as high since it was repromoted not that long ago? I believe I got mine last year or the year prior.

I don't think as much, a few months ago they were just hanging around at the CCOs around here.

Good Lord, I just thought about something: imagine how quick Metal Rock or New Vegas would sell out?!

I also wonder why most stores didn't get much product? Maybe MAC kept most for online sales? If that's the case I'd feel a little better, just knowing they (somewhat) anticipated a huge mob of SR seekers....

I don't think I need it anyway. It's just a let down that MAC treats their loyal customers who spend thousands on MAC a year this way.

I'm only 6 miles from a counter. I can help you out if you want. I ordered mine online so I wouldnt have to drive there on Thursday

When she told me she let out a little "Woo-hoo!" and it was kind of adorable.

But I feel awful for all those people who didn't/won't get it. Stupid MAC.

They take pre-orders, so probably they are sorting out who gets what and what is left, smart, not stupido like mac.com.

mac.com didn't want that, they wanted us all the order SR and more stuff. It is high hilarious that I am this upset but it's also hilarious that they don't have their stuff together.

I just did a livechat with a Nordstrom rep, hope this helps!

Patti P: Your patience is appreciated. The M.A.C. Mineralized Skinfinish colors 'Stereo Rose', 'By Candlelight', and 'Petticoat' will be available online after 10:00 a.m. (PST) today.

She said it should be available right after ten.
I guess I'm going to the gym after ten then.

I normally would just go to the store, but I'm away on vacation this week and didn't want to miss out! I missed out on Marine Life back in May because I was away. Grrr. I'm going back up north on Thursday and Friday to work then going away again next weekend. Looks like I'll have to fit in a mall trip. I'm going to try and call the MAC's around me to hold one.

I know! It makes the other stuff I ordered seem less "shiny" somehow.

Seriously! Agreed!

I think I'm gonna try out Nars Deep Throat blush. In the swatch thread, there's a comparison between DT and Stereo Rose and it's close enough for me. SR has a better more bang to it, but pretty much the same color to me and of course, without the allergic reaction for me.

You know what, I was just thinking: I really feel sorry for the UPS person(s) that have to pick up from the MAC warehouse on collection release days! That has to be one hard and long job!

Manassas Mall is the closest to me. There's a MAC in the Macy's store now.

Stereo Rose and Jazzed have been ordered! Now I have to see if I can convince my bf to get me All Styled Up and Togetherness for my b-day!
