Having peeling lip issues so when I tried wearing Eugenie it looked horrible. It seems to cling to lip imperfections, and I thought with it being dark you wouldn't be able to tell. So I def need to exfoliate when I try it again for sure.

my entire order was cancelled :/ no lippies for me :/

Oh no!

u Thanks Glammy. I should have known better. They've done it to me about 3-4 times during the RiRi Collections two years ago.

I only wound up getting a BU of Bianca B since it's the most unique and I love that you can use it for an ombre or mix it with lip liners to change the shade. Tats, Charlotte, and Eugenie, for me anyway, are pretty bold and bright compared to what I usually wear for work which is generally something like Mehr, Velvet Teddy, Syrup, etc. The GBV collection will be my 'special occasion' type lipsticks for when I'm feeling fun! I also wound up loving the Lena gloss. I don't have too many clear/shimmer glosses and I like the texture and it's so easy to layer over lipsticks.

Their website makes me

. Like seriously, you can't catch a restock even if your life depended on it, lol. It's quicker to just do a search. I went to new collections and GBV wasn't on that first section so I clicked to show all and it was billboards galore until I just searched "Valli", my goodness. WTF designed that crapola?!

Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It makes me crazy

You shouldn't have to click "shop now" twice! Mac never ever listens to their customers.

Exactly! Obviously, I clicked "Shop Now" because I want to shop the collection, not be given another "Shop Now" link!

Not liking this renovated site at all.

I told the MAC CS guy that called me about that! But, I also told him that they never listen to their customer base & actually change anything we complain about - & it's proven.

My work around is just to type the product name in the search window...faster. Probably not good if you're in a race, but helped me during the first Mac restock. Still kicking myself for not grabbing another BB...Nordies never did restock did they? Or did I miss that, too?

I'm so sorry. It sucks not only that it was cancelled but that they are known for doing that. They sound like Macys!

This isnt directly related to ebay (so admin feel free to remove if it violates the rules) but i want to make the group aware of a fake seller on MUABs, a site I recently came across where you can sell and buy makeup.

This user (who is no longer on MUABs but went by the name of "sweetlolitajessie" - I have screenshots if anyone needs to see the fake posts) had posted photos of MAC LE lipsticks for sale that I coincidentally saw on specktra (the specktra user posted these photos a year ago and I alerted her to this. She informed me someone had already told her as well!)

This person insisted I use google wallet to pay and refused to accept a paypal payment.

I decided to ask for more photos of the items because i thought this was suspicious (plus the price of the items were low for their value). She never got back to me after I asked for more photos. Now shes no longer on MUABs (or her posts) so I guess someone reported her.

Moral of the story. Always ask for more photos (yes its a burden for sellers but its a small price to pay to make sure someone isnt gonna get cheated out of money and as a seller im ok with sending more photos. AND request an invoice through paypal!

I got scammed by what I believe to be the same seller but under a different name. She agreed to sell me 5 gently used MAC MSF products for $100 including Superb, which I guess is kind of rare. I'm new to MAC so I just thought it was a good deal but I should have realized it was too good to be true. Right after I paid I got an email from another MUABS member letting me know they thought this seller was the same as "sweetlolitajessie" but under a different name. The new seller was "Glittered Vanity". I asked GV if she could send me more pics of the items and she agreed and did. even though she sent the pics I asked her if she could refund my money because I had a weird feeling and wanted to back out of the sale. After me begging her she agreed and sent a refund via PayPal. Then she complained about how she was losing out on the $10 MUABS seller's fee. I felt bad if she was a legit seller so I sent her $10 via PayPal to cover it. I didn't realize at the time that all she had to do was request a refund from MUABS to get the fee back. All this happened on Friday. Later that day she relisted the lot and I think she sold it again because it was gone a few hours later. By Sunday her page/shop/username was gone.

Anyway, I feel really stupid but I got scammed because today the refund was 'returned' which means they took the $100 out of my account anyway. She most likely pulled the money out of PayPal right away and closed her account so they can't run the refund. I filed a dispute and hopefully PayPal helps me out, but everyone please be aware that there is a seller scamming people. Her MUABS shop was a mix of higher and lower end items so it looked legit, it's not like she was just selling expensive/rare items. I did a little research with Google and if this is the same person as "sweetlolitajessie" then her thing seems to be pretending to sell lightly used MAC MSF items, including some rare ones like Superb and Whisper of Gilt.

I have her PayPal info including email and name and the name and email she was using to correspond about the items. Her 'email' name and PayPal name did not match nor did the email addresses which was another red flag to me that made me back out of the sale.

I really liked MUABS but this has put a bad taste in my mouth. I don't know how people that do this sleep at night.

Sorry this happened to you but this is precisely why I don't buy from anyone but a store. I can't deal. I would have to hurt someone if they scammed me and let's face it, I can't go to jail, I have two kids and the only orange I like is make-up related...okay, and Fanta

I tried out MUABS for a few months and this was the first issue I've had. Everyone besides this scammer has been fantastic to talk to and buy from. Most people on there are legit and just trying to sell gently used or even new items that they don't want. Better than throwing them out I suppose but you're right, from now on it's store only for me. At least then you can return items if they don't work out.

I feel like a dummy, but I can take this lesson and learn from it at least.

Your last sentence cracked me up BTW

^^ That's key for me, even amongst stores: my ability to return. Don't beat yourself up, it can happen to anyone. I've bought stuff from eBay before, and I agree it's a good idea because God knows I have a lot of crap I should probably sell!

Haha, glad to make you laugh. I hope you get your $110 back (yes, ask for the $10 fee the beyotch made you feel bad about)

I sent the $10 via F&F so I think I'm out that money for sure. I could call and explain what happened I suppose, and once they look into her and realize she's definitely a scammer maybe they will refund it too. No harm in trying!

My problem with stores is I always think "well, if I get this item and I hate it I can always return it" so I buy more than I should. Then I fall in love with the product and don't return it! Story of my life....

If I know I can't return I think longer and harder about buying it to make sure it fits what I need/want.

I think I just need to no-buy myself but then I saw those new MAC lipsticks from the Veluxe collection and I am lusting after Heaux, Pillow Talk, Quelle Surprise, and Royally Riotous.

My MAC lipstick obsession has gotten bad. I'm at 37 and counting since I got my first one last October. Why are the so darn addictive??

What's F&F?

 

[lumaday]

What's F&F?

Friends and Family. That way there wasn't a fee taken out by PayPal for it being for the purchase of goods and services.
