It was when they were putting things up bit by bit. That's why I was for sure I ordered it in plenty of time, but I guess not.

At least that makes me feel better now...

I am hoping I get my order- with all of this retraction stuff it is getting too frustrating to try to order from MAC anymore!

I went to Nordies today and put my preorder in for Stereo Rose

I also got to play around with the goods. Jazzed l/s looks great with fashion whim over it. I was surprised Jazzed looked good on me since i'm so cool colored. Ever Hip from LoL looked terrible on me.

Here's my list of wants:

Jazzed l/s
Fashion Whim creamsheen
Style Influencer MES
Soften the Mood MES
Calm Cool Collected MES
Petticoat MSF
Stereo Rose MSF

I'm pretty sure the other 3 MSF's were included because of massive amounts of back stock, because those are currently at CCO's and the bare minimum was made of SR, they are treating all LE as if they are the super limited releases like Manish now

*sigh* That kind of idiotic thinking will destroy the company. Most people won't bother if they continue like this- if it is too hard to achieve, most people will just give up.

I think I will just do some fun smiles because I Can.

I didnt choose 2nd day or over night and when I talked to customer service mine wasnt backordered.

This limited edition stuff is really annoying now. If Mac lipsticks weren't superior to other brands, I probably would've abandoned it by now. Now it's not just ultra special stuff like marine life selling out, but pigments? I got mine, but I don't want to deal with the paranoia anymore.

i'm desperately trying not to get sucked into the 'worry' about my MSF...
nope.gif


i stopped by my mac store yesterday and asked if they would put an item on hold for me that was being released on thursday. (i'd never done so at the store.) so she brought out the testers for me to see and i immediately told her i wanted stereo rose to avoid another marine life debacle and she totally knew what i meant.

i saw her take one out of the drawer and put a post-it with my name on it behind the counter. so if it isn't there on thurs. when i go pick it up... there will be hell to pay!

on a side note, thinking of calling them and telling them to put one of the later pigments from a+o on hold too since it is sold out on mac.com as well. hm...

MAC is one of the few lipsticks I can use that don't make my lips peel in sheets. I would not bother either, if they were not so wearable for me.

I stopped collecting pigments and MSFs a long time ago- and it feels nice now. I only wanted SR because it is my favorite MSF and I use it all of the time.

That's what I don't get. The only way I figured it was backordered was because I was only charged for the blush I ordered, and not the MSF. When I called CS, they confirmed I was right. I really don't get how that happened, especially when I got my confirmation email at 8:15!

See, I never ordered ML on the website. I actually got it a week later at a counter. I had to call around, but I got it. I was out of town when that collection came out on the website, so I didn't experience the ML trauma! I just feel bad for people who don't read this website, who think they actually got it. At least we had some kind of warning up here!

plus, can't they read our wish lists on specktra??! duh. i mean, we flat out say what we're interested in and what we're planning on hauling!

I couldn't order it at all either. I had to call our counter at opening and pray I got through first. Then I was able to order and pay for it with my Macy's card. Otherwise I would have missed out.

It was worth it too- I am glad I went through all that to get it.
