I am in the *same* boat as you are in. No email confirmation, no record of the order but they took the money. Argh! heh

I thought World Cup was tomorrow. I need to hit the shower and watch it now!

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.

I'm kinda the same way but, I have been doing it so long, for the most part, I don't even think about it, I just do it! I hope you are able to get more hours to meet your needs.

are by candlelight and soft and gentle very similar? I want by candlelight but already own S&G. Is it worth it to have both?

 

[nunu]

Elegant i am wondering too how simmilar New Vibe is to Bitone and how simmialr A little bit of sunshine is to Sun and Moon. I passed on both because i thought they were both simmilar to the ones that came out with the too fabulous collection.

Can anyone verify this?

The Uruguay/Netherlands game is on right now (I'm rooting VOOR HET NEDERLANDS!), and the Spain/Germany game will be tomorrow, 2:30EST.

I hope everyone's SR orders/backorders come through.

I can definately see it on my arm, it doesn't disappear on my skin. I'm nc43 for reference I hope this helps!

Thank you Elegant & Nunu! I think it still sounds promising so I'll definitely check it out at the store.

From what I remember - yes, fairly similar. I LOVED it in person!

 

[aeroerin]

Man, I'm very happy that I have my MA holding my products for me. O.O This is stressful for me to read, and I'm not the one ordering online!

Does anyone have any standout CSGs from this collection that they'd recommend someone with my coloring? (NC25, dark brown hair, blue eyes)? I'm looking to buy my first CSG, because I have an LE Revlon l/g (Peach Petal) whose formula has been compared to MAC CSGs, and I love that lipgloss like crazy.

I just turned it on to see Robin Van Persie with the ball. Drool. I love my Arsenal player. Van Bronckhorst just scored after I finished typing the last sentence. Woo hoo! Go Holland!!!!

I just had an MA swatch them side by side for me. New Vibe is more pearl base & a lighter Raspberry whereas BiTone is the heavy shimmer & a dustier/darker plum

yay! I prefer raspberry please with pearl. She didn't have Sun & Moon to compare.

Oh, I wanted to post earlier for those of you that do NOT like shimmer/glitter in the mineral blush or shadows - these do NOT have that - it is a Pearl base instead.

thank God!!!

Just out of curiosity does Macys.com normally launch the same day collections become available online or in store? The site has no ITG products at all. Sorry if this ? has been asked/answered already there are WAY too many pages to go back and read

Macy's launches in-store the same day that the Freestanding stores do. Not sure about online, though.

Thank God indeed!

That's awesome news! (Esp. for the blushes)

 

[elegant-one]

uggh, the MA that did the swatch for me said that they got VERY limited quantity of everything

Same thing that the Macy's MA told me over the weekend.

 

[make_up_maven]

Has anyone actually received a backorder notice from mac.com?

I haven't heard of a written notice, only people who've called CS and asked about their order. Apparently they're overloaded and being very nasty today.

 

[monter]

Lol... so I called Nordstrom, and they put me through to customer service... The rep I talked to said that in their computer, it's showing that the order is 'processing' - meaning that they've taken my money, but they have not yet pulled it, nor do the girls at the counter even have the information that they are supposed to pull it for me!

So I asked her if it would help if she connected me with the counter so I could tell them that I placed an order and they should pull one for me, and explained how I was worried that before they get the info to pull my product, they'll sell the items from the sales floor. I asked her if, hypothetically, there was one left, and the MA went to ring it up, would the computer show that there's a 'hold' on it for me? The rep just said 'oh, I sincerely doubt that it'll be the last one, but I can check the inventory for you.'

So while she's looking for the item in the computer, I tell her how I don't mean to be crazy about this or anything, but how this item sold out in two hours on the MAC site - and she just kind of blew it off! Like didn't respond at ALL to that, was just like 'ok, so what was the color again?'

And then she finally found their inventory level and found that they have NONE. ZERO!

She said that they have a lot across the country though, so if they can't fill the order in their store for me, they'll ship it to me.

So. SO annoyed.

Edit: Hahaha.. and NOW I get the confirmation email that they are at least working on my order. Ohhh man. After this madness, going back to studying Contracts and Property for the rest of the day actually sounds enjoyable!
