Mhmm. And I have a feeling since they keep mentioning it'll be online (as opposed to online and in stores) on the 19th, that in stores will be delayed as well. If so, that's going to affect all of the other collections, since that's a lot in an incredibly short period of time, and I don't think Mac could pull Off that much that quickly.

joke! Let's be real, MAC... all THREE of those lipstick colors are dupeable, as is the blush, gloss, and i'm sure the rest of this collection. I'm tired of being jerked around on a string because I want LE items from MAC. Lets just say, if I "happen" upon this launch, I will purchase my list if it's still there. If I don't, whatever. That's cool MAC. I'm not getting MiB, PT, or Mia-- not because I'm mad but truly because I have no interest. I wish they could know how many people they upset. They honestly don't care because they'll still sell out regardless. They don't care if "Mary" skips the collection because "Sue" is right next in line. As a full time Graduate student, I have a *life* and I can't be freaking glued to my laptop for makeup. I can't even imagine how rough it is for very, very, long time dedicate MAC fans. This shows them NO respect! What about people with full time jobs, families, and maybe even a 2nd job? Obviously they don't care and that is frustrating to me. Now I remember exactly why I never ever used to shop here. Looks like I'll be going back that way. Pfft. Too much stress in my life, I want to enjoy my makeup-- not get gray hairs over it.

Welcome to MAC Cosmetics Online. Your personal Makeup Artist will be with you shortly.

Hello. Thank you for your interest in MAC Cosmetics. My name is Taniesha. How may I assist you?
Lisa: I was told via live chat that the julia petit collection would launch today, 3/12
Taniesha: Hi Lisa!
Taniesha: One moment, please, while I check that for you.
Lisa: Ok
Taniesha: Regrettably, this collection has been delayed. It is scheduled to launch online on the 19th of March now.
Lisa: That is such a huge disappointment considering the fact that no announcement was made and on live chat reps kept saying 3/12.
Taniesha: We just found out this morning as well. I totally understand your frustration. We were giving you the most up to date information we had.
Lisa: This happened last time with Bao Bao Wan. They gave a later date and ended up releasing it a day early from the date they promised.
Taniesha: I apologize for any disappointment, Lisa. We give the most up to date information we have. Sometimes the brand decides to launch early & delay & we do not have these details until it launches.



I had to just click out and end the chat. I'm so annoyed and tired that I was probably being rude to her when it wasn't even her fault that Mac effed this launch up.

The only think I thankful for and that's saying a lot is that they told us early in the morning instead of making us wait all day...after staying up all night of course

The in store date tends to stay true. While the online date can fluctuate

I agree. MAC has no concept of being sympathetic with the lengths their customers are willing to go thru to get their product. OR maybe they do some type of quick "study" to determine the popularity of a collection/specific colors and realize they underproduced their inventory and want to make sure they have enough to go around before launching. *shrug*

All I know is this last minute delay thing has been happening more and more frequently.

Whether this is a strategy or not, it's an all around mess for a company this widely recognized. They can't continually handle business like this. I can't even keep track of how many collections have been delayed lately. Also, they're on social media, I'm sure they are aware of people staying awake all evening, in hopes of catching the launch. They just can't be oblivious to that fact. They know and they decided to keep quiet about it with no regard to people that have lost countless hours of sleep.

I doubt they'll even launch it on 3.19. Judging from past experience, they'll launch it sometime this week. If I remember correctly, they gave a specific date for BBW, but decided to launch it a day earlier.

You are so right! They don't care because they know for every one customer they lose there is another waiting to take their place. But, that won't always be the case. You can't stay at the top forever and at some point if they don't get right and get in line, they will fall. Then, there will be another brand waiting to take their place.

Omg wow. First, I was told by my Mac chat rep that it was scheduled to launch today. Then, when I asked about a timeframe she said there may be new information and asked for a moment. When I asked if the new info was that it was delayed till the 19th she said they didn't have any knowledge of any time frame for the collection. At which point, I politely referred her to the official Mac Twitter which stated that it was delayed. She flew off of that chat after that lol. I've never seen a rep wrap up a chat that quickly.
LOL, WOW!

I called MAC Pro 800 again and they are currently saying that it is releasing both in stores and online on the same day, 3/19. Of course, we all have to take that with a grain of salt. I think my interest in this collection has sort of waned away. I'm off to explore other things. I hope everyone gets everything they want that love it!!!
