I had been reading, since November of last year, that Mickey Contractor was going to launch his own makeup collection for MAC. It was going to be a limited edition collection to be launched on January 6, 2011 and to be sold only in the US.
I read all the previews, saw all the colors and decided on the shades and products I wanted to buy. On the morning of Jan 6, logged on to the computer, saw that the collection had been launched and decided to go to the local MAC store, check out the colors for myself and buy them. I got to the store around 11am and spoke to the store manager - she said SORRY - the collection is being sold only at the top 20 MAC stores in the country and unfortunately our store is not one of them. WHAT???????? She further informed me that my only option was to buy them online. And she added - going by the phone calls I have been receiving since the last several weeks I would not wait too long to do so.
Ok, so how many people would actually be aware of the launch, let only be set to buy the products on the first day, let alone first couple of hours????? Or so I mistakenly thought. I was back at my computer at around 2pm and decided to buy the make up - GUESS WHAT??? THEY WERE SOLD OUT OF BOTH THE LIPSTICKS AND BLUSHES I WANTED - ON THE FIRST DAY!!!!!IN THE FIRST COUPLE OF HOURS!!!!!!!!!! SOB SOB SOB :(
This could not be happening - I had been obsessing about this collection for months. I should have bought them when I logged on in the morning.............
If any of you have been lucky enough to get your hands on the lipsticks and blushes please let me know what you think of the colors ( more salt on my wounds). I would love to hear from you.
