I was going to do that but just because I'm super paranoid and once I did the pick-up thing with some other item and they ran out of the item at that store. Luckily though they still had some available online offered to have it shipped to me for free

I just went ahead and paid to have it shipped to me for peace of mind.

I guess I can understand the anxiety behind wanting an item so badly... but that's a lot of items to tie up. Maybe I shouldn't be so sensitive, but why not just put 2 on hold [I assume you use them in a kit] and then buy a backup later? If they're on hold in a store, they generally stay that way so long as you pick them up same-day.

It's too bad because buying stuff is supposed to be fun and exciting...not stressful.

I got my order confirmation at 8:19 CST. I'm thinking about ordering from Nordstrom but, I can't decide. I don't want more than I know I will use and I don't want to deal with the selling to others.

Oh, just found out, if you type in promo code "Beauty" it should be $5 dollar standard shipping instead of $8

They didn't think it would sell out that fast - holy cow - maybe MAC should pay more attention to the consumers - like here

then they would be in the know.

Have any Canadians received a confirmation yet?

I got mine, but I ordered from the MAC store at International Plaza in Tampa. Michelle (the MA) told me that there were only three in the store and I got one of them. They are shipping it to me but I had to pay $7 for shipping. I wanted it so bad though, so I am ok with the shipping. That was two hours ago, so the other two may still be available. She said that I was only the second call about and at first they couldn't even find it.

Can you imagine? I would in no way want to be a MAC CSR today.
hell no!

I need a valium I.V. on this end (customer). I would need something even stronger on their end.

That is so unfortunate. I would call & explain to MAC how you were treated as that is uncalled for. I never let people treat me like that.

I was thinking the same thing! I work 60 hour weeks and I'm too old and tired to be getting up early and staying up late just to buy makeup!

I watched that site yesterday like a hawk and for what...nothing!!

Thanks Elegant

As elegant have said, it's a very neutrall colour (both of them) I bought it to use as the light side as a highlight. The darker shade may slightly have a peachy undertone. I swatched it on myself right now and i think it is pigmented and would show up as a peachy blush if layered on.
I can definately see it on my arm, it doesn't disappear on my skin. I'm nc43 for reference
I hope this helps!

Okay, thanks! I got that one too at 8:23. I usually get one saying my order has been shipped though.

LOL! I'm sorry thats hilarious. MAC is even out of zoomlash samples?! I'm surprised the actual site is still functioning. I thought it would have crashed long ago.

 

[ARmakeupjunkie]

Can anyone that may have both or will have both soon, do a swatch for me? I want to know how close LOL English Accents is to ITG Going Casual. Thank you!

Eeks 60 hours!! I couldn't work that many hours. I hated doing 40! Right now because they are low on couriers at the station I work at the p/t couriers work 60 hr weeks. Now that there's 4 new ones including me and another batch coming along of 4 they said those 60hr guys/gals will get less hours. The courier that runs the route I'm taking over starts at 2:30 and is usually done by 7:30 and has about 35 pickups and some on-calls. When you're new they give you about 20 deliveries so I might get into the station by 8...so that's 5.5 hrs x 5 = 27.5 hours. I will still need more hours to get up to meet my UE. Even with 30 hours I'll need many 5 more. Thankfully you can volunteer a day for a few hours or many days if you want so at least I know I can pick up some extra.
