MAC Ricky and Nicki for Viva Glam Discussion

[mtrimier]

I think its a great idea to send out these invites. It prevents people from stocking up and selling the items with a high profit margin on ebay. I wonder if we will see more of this type of marketing in the near future.

Indeed. I'm all for this becoming the norm, even if I got an email late or not at all. Takes out the hassle and foolishness over getting an item.

This is what it reminds me of and it leaves a nice stain too.

That's perfect!!!!

I do think it's a great idea; I just don't understand why some people (myself included) haven't received an e-mail and others have. Maybe they'll continue to send out batches of e-mails in the coming week though.

The only thing I noticed is that people who were getting invites for S3/C3 were also got emails for the lipstick. So maybe big spenders get it first then goes in accordance to how much you have spent with MAC?

With the limited of one item per purchase, the product will last much longer online.

From a business standpoint, I get that. I don't think I've spent more than a few hundred with them in the past year, so I'll probably get mine when it goes up on the site.

If I hadn't scored an email from a lovely Specktrette I would be in the same boat!

Ha, my nail polish kinda matches but is a bit more coral. OPI - My Address Is Hollywood

I really want one, but I have my S3/C3 order coming in next week, so that can tie me over. That and the tons of bright pinks I already own

Wow that's bright on her! My skin is nearly that pale, so I'll have to figure out a nice eye look to balance it out in advance. Still a gorgeous color though

That pic is reading a lot brighter & different in shade than what it really is.

I think the paler the wearer, the brighter the swatch. I love that NP on you, Elegant-one.

I have an invite code I would love to share! PM your email address and I'll forward it!

Gone! Enjoy!

Its like Richelle83 said, this color is very hard to photograph.

Wow, it's gorgeous!
It's not fair, I was totally going to skip this. What should I do? What should I do? LOL

 

[Knope2012]

I have two invite codes I can give out if anyone is still wanting to pick up Nicki. Just send me a PM with your e-mail please

Done!

Well, it looks a lot like Fanfare in that pic, and Fanfare is my favorite warm pink. So I will need at least one and a BU

This is how it looks on me just more fluorescent!

I got my Nicki lipstick today!

I'd post some swatches, but I can't find the swatch thread. Do we have one?

I posted photos and swatches on my blog.
