MAC - In the Groove Discussion

[cherryice]

Well, folks, I've stayed up this late refreshing the Bloomies' page hoping that they'd add ITG, but they haven't, and I'm tired of looking at that stupid Pret A Papier dummy.

Guess it's time to turn in and roll the dice tomorrow at 10 sharp.

Yes- get good rest so you're not late tomorrow!

Actually, we're all Clark Griswolds in this. They owe us for this quagmire.

And I can't promise that I won't punch an inanimate object of some sort and shout out an obscenity or two if they do tell me it's sold out. Of course, there won't be a moose conveniently placed in front of me.

*sigh* I just can't sleep.

I think something went wrong with the system, I mean if they had 200 pcs and put them in system, everytime someone bought they should have been deduced from the amount till 0 pcs and than it should have said sold out, that` s how i imagine it works- they should have had all the items unless there was something wrong in the system
And what`s that with 2 launches same day, they had a month with nothing and now like 40 new items in a day, need some lottery tickets or maybe some rich undiscovered relatives lol

double post

I talked to my boyfriend about it (who also thinks I'm crazy, but indulged me enough to listen, at least

) - he works in IT, and when I was like 'omg remember that seahorse thing I showed you and told you all about?! They were on notice their ordering system was effed up! Why didn't they fix it!' He gives me this Look and just goes 'yeah... it's not that easy.'

I guess there is a lag time between orders and when it actually 'hits' the server that the inventory is on. It's not instant communication.

I do not get at ALL how some people got backordered and ordered BEFORE people that are getting an item though... I'm going to pick his brain about it tomorrow.

And now a question: Band of Roses on an NC20/MUFE 115 (matches me better than MAC does)? Light hand? It looks so pretty...

I'm getting the face brush set from Digipops in the mail soon, so I will have a 187 to play with (my first one!) if I'd need to use that instead of my 129... Thoughts?

definately a light hand! even with a 187! no 129 with BoR.

With all the drama over SR I almost forgot & had to remind myself that this item that we're all after costs money too....or is this the goldrush or the lineup to collect meal tickets that I don't know about? Now here's a video we can all relate to, I promise! YouTube - MAC Into the Groove: Stereo Rose Mineralize Skin Finish

OMG I feel her pain, except I think I was like 100 times madder! I had the really bad feeling that once it was online, Stereo Rose was GONE

Super fun video though, thanks for the link

 

[chickatthegym]

^Oh and I should add that my free-standing store will not "Pre Order" stuff

 

[Junkie]

1 hour....38 minutes...22 seconds...

lol

 

[Junkie]

I'm gonna try to B2M for Jazzed if I can....we'll see how that goes.

Saves me a bit....

Funny...no one inquired about the Stereo Rose I put on hold, yet so many people are ranting about missing out. I already have one....I guess no one wants it? Haha. I'm even debating if I should buy it or not just for the sake of having a back-up in the chance that someone will want it later.

I was hoping someone would make up their mind about it. Otherwise I'd just get Later. from A+O, my lippie and save the rest of my cash for Dare to Wear.

And I am going to call my counter at 10am when they open to see if my stuff is still on hold. I am still mad and I think I'll still be mad even after I get my stuff. This is really ridiculous. I am done with highly sought after LE items from now on and I mean it. The Gaga bag can go straight to hell and whatever else "we" deem necessary for our stashes. Done.

I might try to get a Cyndi bag, but if I have to stay up all night to get it, it will not be so. But, I would be willing to bet that Gaga sells out WAY faster than Cyndi.

 

[Junkie]

If it makes anyone feel any better, those bags were cheap as hell and resemble a pencil case IMO

 

[Sass]

And I've decided to get one MES...Togetherness. It's a beauty. I watched a bunch of YT videos and went back to look at swatches and I think this is the one.

 

[NotteRequiem]

Did anyone else laugh when they got the ITG email this morning?

Really? I love the lip kind of print, but honestly, when I saw how small they were, I was turned off. Which is bad because I love pop art. Now that I know they're cheap, I think it will stay off my list. I would rather buy something else or any extra Cyndi l/s or l/g

I sort of laughed, but at first I was more like: What the
