I was JUST about to type this! Haha, I completely agree.

I use the 'thanks' button as a 'like' button.

My funds for ITG just went out of the window - I had to go to the dentist for the annual check-up today, and now I'm sitting at home with a very puffy cheek, with only half of one molars and a very expensive treatment...

My BF is Dutch, btw, and will be very happy in a few moments... (I hope).

Yes, and you would think after the Marine Life debacle someone would have a semblance of a clue......what cave are they living in?

^If you don't manage to get Later. now, you can always get it with Tartan Tale.

That's what I'm comforting myself with!

Hooray!

I just checked a bit ago to see if any around here still have them, all 12 stores within 100 miles of me have no SR available for pick up within the first hour of them posting it available. Jesus.

Is there an option for pick up when you order online? Or do you have to order through a 800 number?

 

[monter]

^It's an option when you order online.

Obscuria^ it might just be that they haven't gotten them in yet. My Nordies called me to say that my order with them has been cancelled because they don't have it in stock yet, and that I need to order again on Thursday, because that's when the'll be getting it in stock.

Again... I'll believe that when I see it. :eyeroll: So strange that some Nordies would have it already and others would not.

EDIT: And on Thursday, I'm not ordering through the website to pick up - I'm just calling my counter directly. I don't think I trust Nordies CS at this point - not enough to get my order and pull it before the Nordies counter girls sell them all.

Ah, I see. Thanks! I'm trying to see if I can get them for a few other people I know that are lemming for them.I'll check again on Thursday.

I'm sure it's rough. For whatever reason, I hear Clinique counters get it the worse with GWPs. My rep must have just came in because she had no idea there were so many back ordered SRs. I think it's fine to call to inquire, definitely no need to be rude about it though.

 

[Boasorte]

Hmmm, so there's a MAC store and the Pro store right across the street from the train station I use to go home from work but I didn't even bother going to either store because it is TOO FREAKING HOT!
Not even MAC would let me stay out in this heat another second! 103 degrees? Yea, I'll get my goodies tomorrow.

the perfect marketing plan. Just think, from here on out with any hot item, no one will wait until it hits stores. Maybe thats what MAC wants, to see sales numbers early.

I work at VS, and I think customers have gotten increasingly crazy/rude as the years have gone by (I've been there since Nov 02). No idea how that level of insanity compares to makeup GWP insanity.

And yeah, totally agree - Calling and asking about your order is fine! I hope it didn't seem like i was saying that wasn't okay. :x And of course CS reps should never be rude, even if they are getting the same call over and over and over. It's the nature of being a CS rep.

I just feel for 'em, because you KNOW some people are flipping out at them, and there's nothing they can do, and the blame really isn't properly placed on them

(for the order not going smoothly anyway - if they're rude, then yeah, fire away!

).

Thank you. Sadly, the one I wanted to pick it up at wasn't available. All well LOL. I'll just drive to the next town over on Thursday. They said they got 15 in and its going to be first come, first serve, so I have hope! LOL

If not... By Candlelight for me...

 

[highheels]

Does anyone have Blue My Mind and/or Creme de Nude yet? I didn't order them, but I am tempted... just wondering if they are 'worth it' or not?? Thanks!

 

[monter]

^By Candlelight is very pretty! If I didn't already have it, I'd be snatching that one up this collection too. (Along with Petticoat...

)

 

[twilightessence]

Yeah, I have Petticoat. Its BEAUTIFUL. And I regret not getting By Candlelight last time... I might get both, but I'm out for Stereo Rose this time like everyone else LOL.

 

[l1onqueen]

Well I'm off ladies! Enjoyed "chatting" with you all today. Fingers crossed that we all get our orders. It'll be fun to see how many more pages this thread gets during my 30 minute commute.

I've noticed that people aren't what they used to be like when I was younger. It seems a lot of humans in this world haven't got a clue! Like for instance people in the mall seem to think they are the only ones there and they may walk 3 wide and not move when someone is coming their way in the opposite direction!!

We never had covers for plugs on the receptacles.....never wore helmets when we rode bikes, etc etc. Havent you noticed a lot of people doing really stupid stuff in this world? A lot not caring about anything but themselves?

Blahh.....Sometimes I wish the world was just filled with cats when we have those dodo's!

 

[abb]

I think I agree re: the marketing plan to settle for something else...I'm feeling I should grab one of these other MSFs just in case my order doesn't come through...so for you other fair ladies (i.e. Monter

), which do you love more: Petticoat or By Candlelight. I definitely don't have anything like By Candlelight, but I'm a sucker for glow-y pinks (Daft Pink is my fave blush of all time).
