New permanent eyeshadows

[SARAHluvsMAC]

I am not sure how this is going to work but as i was schematicizing last night I noticed for holiday merchandising has totally changed! total pain in the ass because I had it all memorized but I noticed alot of new colors on the list that we have not received yet...
but even my manager didn't know what it was about
some of the colors I remember off hand were
li'lilly
mesmorised or something like that

there were about 10 or so new colors listed, has anyone else noticed this?

yeah we saw it the other day and it's not a pretty site. It includes all the lustre shadows that came out in that one line (blanking right now on the line name) but it was mineralism, romantique, fine shine and all those others which most of us where not fans of. Plus they took off the schematic all together some of the more popular shadows and others they left to the overflow tray ie. woodwinked, soft brown etc.

Lustrevision?

Lustres and glimmershimmers and glitz glosses, oh my! It's like all the crap products of the last three years are coming back to haunt you.

'Oh you're looking for Jest..........um...............um... give me a minute...........it's here somewhere.............BINGO got it .....oops that's Naked Lunch.....................just give me another minute.'

And don't THINK you know where something is and someone accidently didn't put it back in the right spot. Now your ideas are all shot.

The shadows on the display unit are organized according to a schematic (basically a placement chart with the names of the shadows). That way the shadows are always in the same spot (easy to find) and are aesthetically pleasing (colour scheme arrangements). Occasionally they redo the schematic to accomodate the introduction of new shadows and discontinuation current regular shadows.

They only have so much room on the display unit. When they add new ones, certain shadows that are then DC'd or are about to become DC'd go in the overflow tray, as they no longer have room on the display unit. The "overflow tray" is either a metal tray or large Pyrex container that holds the shadows and is generally kept right behind the shadow display unit. That way the MAs can still access them until they sell the remaining stock. This is also where LE shadow that no longer have a display unit go.

Each merchandise/launch period, they put out a merchandising book that talks about what is coming out, where to place it in the store and for how long the product and/or display should be out on the sales floor.

MAs go to a class every merchandise/launch period called "Update". They receive an advance view, training and a book on upcoming products.

Hope that helps.

Now I feel really, really guilty for all the times that I picked up an eyeshadow to check out the name and couldn't remember which open spot I took it from and probably didn't put it back in the correct place.

As for people who are turning up your nose at the items they're bringing back, what is wrong with them? I've only been an active m.a.c. fan for about a year and wasn't around for these old collections.

The shadows they're bringing in are lustres, which are usually lovely in the pot but difficult/annoying to work with. Also, there are other shadows which MAC could bring back that many fans loved, such as Goldbit (mentioned above). I've only been hooked on MAC for a year and missed out on quite a few solid releases, and would love for them to make permanent some of those LE's, but I vaguely remember Lustrevision and won't care much for those shadows to come back. =T

I'm concerned about hearing Woodwinked in the overflow tray, tho... that doesn't mean it's on the to-be-dc'd list, does it? Eep!

Naaah, don't feel bad. That's just part of an MA's job. Makeup is a very personal and intimate thing. Clients need to see it, hold it, and of course, as you said, know what colour it is.

hahah LMAO!!! But you are totally right, lustrevision was crap (exept for goldbit e/s) and the glitsglosses where just cheapo glittery glosses in a horrible package!
