What To Expect During A Highly Anticipated MAC Cosmetics (Limited Edition) In-Store Collection Launch
Could that title be anymore explanatory as to what this thread is all about?
Basically, I see this question asked all the time when new limited edition collections launch in-store and some people don't know what to expect. So with MAC Cinderella and MAC Bao Bao Wan scheduled to launch tomorrow, I figured now is the perfect time to address this.
Let's break it down like this:
First, you arrive early like 2, maybe 3 hours early if you live in a highly populated area and sit outside looking super tired like this:
and then other people start to show up and look at you like this:
Mostly because you got there before them and now they have to count back how many less lipsticks or brushes/bronzers/liners they can get.
Then people start to chat with you to also inquire to see what you are getting. At this point, you will think you are BFFs because everyone seems so friendly!
Sometimes an employee will come out and tell you how to line up in line. Then someone may ask how much they have of a product and the reply is that they only have 2 Pleasurebombs in-stock. Then you look like this:
Because you realize you are 4th in line and the ones in front of you don't want to talk to you so you have no idea what they are getting and now you are disgruntled like the women behind you.
Then finally, you see them opening the door and everyone is all rushing
Again, it depends on the situation but this may be you or may not be you, maybe you will be the stampede! Be nice and take your time!
Then you line up and they check you out and you either get what you want or don't want and then people around you will either be really sad or really happy.
Hopefully happy!
And as you walk away you look and see all the people glaring at you because you win and they most likely will only be able to buy those terrible looking veluxequads
Anywho good luck girl!

The moral of the story is...it's going to be crazy but hey, it's limited edition! So I had to make sure to post this as a tutorial for new members and a refresher for experienced ones.
Also, take this tip with you...people are going to stop in the mall to stare and they're going to ask you why you're waiting in line for makeup. Then they're going to insist on telling you that "this is blasphemy, this is madness." That's when you turn right around and tell them that:
This....is....Specktra!!!
May the odds be ever in your favor!
