MAC In the Groove Online! Alice + Olivia!
MAC In the Groove Online! (And Alice + Olivia!)
Hey all! It’s 5:30AM PST, but at least now I can fully sleep… LOL. Kept waking up (unintentionally!) every 45 minutes to check. MAC Cosmetics looks like it has it up now! Nordstrom has most of it – the MSF page still isn’t updating to reflect all four, just Comfort. I’ve gotten some reports in that MACPRO also has it up. Alice + Olivia is also up.
Edited @ 6:27am (PST): Officially up with launch pages: Alice + Olivia; In the Groove.
Edited @ 7:30am (PST): Yes, Stereo Rose is showing as sold out (U.S. site). Other retailers (Macy’s, Nordstrom, Dillards, Bloomingdale’s) should have separate stock and come online shortly. If you see one pop up, leave a comment so I can update the most in case I miss it. Nordstrom still isn’t showing the other MSFs online, and I did a LiveChat with them, but nothing helpful yet.
Edited @ 10:14am (PST): Nordstrom is now showing Stereo Rose(along with the other MSFs) available!
Edited @ 8:51pm (PST): I ordered at 6:49am (PST) and my Stereo Rose is on backorder, and while the representative said that since it sold out so fast, they are “trying to get more,” I will remain skeptical. Sadface, since it means I might not have a Stereo Rose to swatch and review for you all. I put one on hold at my local MAC on Saturday, called tonight, and they couldn’t locate it. 🙁 I put another one on hold, but we will have to wait and see if it’s there on Thursday.

P.S. – Stereo Rose and Comfort are *most* flattering for warm skin tones; Petticoat and By Candlelight for cool skin tones — BUT BUT BUT — all four work well on most skin tones in general. Petticoat and By Candlelight are definitely universally flattering, Comfort may turn orange on some, and Stereo Rose is typically flattering on most.
My haul? 1 of everything from In the Groove, plus a couple doubles, so I can photograph, swatch, and review everything! Anything that’s a duplicate was bought to giveaway. Yes, expect giveaways! Don’t even ask how much that cost. You can add it up. I’m pretending like I didn’t see the totals… Yes, totals.
i know yay!!!!! good nite all! lol ZZzzz (8am est)
What about the Pro site? I am on the East Coast and 8:57AM is a no show!
I heard from others that it is? Have you tried searching by product name? None of the sites have launch pages yet.
I was able to get my order thru, thank goodness. I literally kept htting the refresh button until I saw the launches appear. It is so weird how they must have the launches set up. Lonon and Paris had their launch up for about a week. I saw folks on YouTube showing hauls by July 2nd!
Do you believe I received an email last night about 12:30 AM EST that Stereo Rose was backordered!!!!!!! (sigh) Seriosly MAC? How is that possible if I ordered it first thing in the morning?
im still worried tho, this happened with “marine life” i got my order number and everythingg but a few hrs later i got an email saying it was sold out.. hmmmphhhh..
Hi Erieli,
It looks like the earliest it came online was around 5:30ish AM (PST), so you should get yours.
i hope so! thanks christine!!!!
I will be SO mad if this happens to me again. I ordered at 5:45am PT, so hopefully I’m in the queue of customers who ordered early enough. Stereo Rose is already sold out. Geez!
thanks christine!
so glad they didn’t torture is till mid-day! i’m so happy i was able to place my order. now i can finally relax lol.
lol I agree!!! I was really worried I’m going to miss out b/c I have work and since I work in a pharmacy, I can’t get to the computer and order online >.<
Just purchased Stereo Rose 🙂 5:42am
I got mines!
I got mine too! Yey! Thanks Christine.. I can go to bed now.. I’m in PST, btw 🙂
Man, I almost missed it! I got Stereo Rose and Petticoat!
got mines….happy
Yay! Woke up on a whim, and I’m so happy I decided to check!! I got petticoat AND stereo rose! HOLY COW!!
Finally got my order in at 6:53. I hope it goes through! Fingers Crossed! Im going to bed!lol Goodnite Everyone!
OMG i just ran to mac website! its out in Canada too!! I place my ordre during class, dont want to miss the msfs this time!!!!!
To the beach is gone!?!?!?! I never got float on by!
The eye kohls are still up, they’re just no longer in the what’s new section, you gotta pull it out of eyes tab =) However, Float on By is out online, so you can still check your local stores =) I got Dressmaker Dressmaker like last week still my Nordstrom 🙂 Good luck!
Yay. I think this is the only day I’m happy to be up early for work. I got my order in just as the collections came online in Canada. Hopefully all will work out.
Woohoo I ordered stereo rose and jazzed l/s. Can’t wait!!!
Whew! Got my order in, LASH710 is a working code! Ordered Stereo Rose, Jazzed and two eyeliners(navy/purple). Can’t wait!
Now at 1846 cst, I check my order status and it lists Stereo Rose as backordered : (
Now, i’ve just got to wait and see what happens, i guess.
Everything looks more expensive than usual or are these the usual prices for MSF?
Looks right to me. They were $27 a year ago with Colour Craft.
Just ordered mine! Stereo Rose, By Candlelight, and Jazzed. Oh and I got an email yesterday that my Nordstrom anniversary pre-orders shipped. Gonna be waitin for the mailman for all the goodies.
I checked MAC’s site at 7 and it wasn’t there but it’s there as of 8. Where did you all order it so early? After reading the comment about erieli’s Marine Life order I’m worried I’m not going to get my Petticoat and Stereo Rose now!
It seemed like it went up around 5:30am PST – it’s 6:34am PST right now.
Wasn’t paying attention to the time zones! You’re 2 hours behind me (I’m Central). So hopefully since I ordered 1/2 hour after they went up I’ll get them!
I don’t think I added items to and checked out that fast in my life! YAYAYAYAYA STEREO ROSE AND PETTICOAT!
I just got stereo rose and free shipping even though my purchase was under $50 thanks to Christine!! Im going to wait to get the other stuff I want (like Petticoat) on thursday when its at Macys. My husband is going to kill me when he sees the credit card bill this month! eeeek!!!
I got 2 Stereo Roses and the Togetherness eye trio 😀 I am going to hit the counter after work later and check out the Alica and Oliva’s pigments and the other mineralized blushes. Yay!
It shouldn’t be out til the 8th in-store!
haha I knew that 😛 Thanks 😀
Got my stereo rose and jazzed lipstick. And I’m staying away from MAC ’till winter! LOL!
good luck with that LOL!
I got Later and Partlicious pigments as well as If It’s Pink and Sparklicious dazzleglass cremes from Alice + Olivia.
I was all set to checkout with my Jazzed and By Candlelight from In The Groove and at the last second I fell victim to the hype and added Stereo Rose to my cart. This thing better be good or I’m exchanging it for All Styled Up and Go For It lipsticks.
Got Stereo Rose and Petticoat at 8:39 am cst!
Whew! Got my Stereo Rose MSF, Togetherness trio, Bubbles l/s (I’ve seen some really cute stuff done w/ it!) and the blush duo New Vibe (I swatched it at Nordstrom’s and fell in love!). Now I don’t have to take Thursday off like I’d planned to in order to stalk the MAC counter at Nordie’s, haha! Thanks for the heads up, Christine!
I got all Cremesheen glass and 4 L/S and 2 mineralize blush!
Awwwww! I can’t wait arrival!
Hi Christine!!
Just letting you know that the Alice and Olivia collection is on the http://www.MACCosmetics.ca website for us Canadians 🙂 not sure if it will be in the Cdn MAC stores though… at first i thought i was going to have to drive all the way to New York for this 🙂 I think we originally thought it was only US, Korea and Japan that were going to
have access to this. Thanks for your swatches. I got If It’s Pink dazzleglass 🙂
Yes it will be at Canadian MAC stores. I’ve confirmed it with them in person and over the phone!
by candlelight and stereo rose! woo!
AH YES! NOW I CAN STALK THE COLLECTION ONLINE! that is, until it comes over to the asia/ pacific side… which could be in half a year or tomorrow! :S
for the record im planning on getting one mineralize eyeshadow, all dazzleglass cremes, two pigments and two nail polishes- and thats absolute maximum- itll probably be about half that!
I was originally not going to get Stereo Rose but didnt wanna regret it later like Marine Life so I got it!
also got Jazzed L/S and Band of Roses and Dainty Blush instead of Hang Loose thought it show up better on my NC 40 skin
I been checking religiously since yesterday! x) im a day ahead of the states
OMG..for once I knew that this collection launched BEFORE someone posted it on-line!!! YAY!! I missed out on marine life by an hour, but I quickly got over that because I LOVE MSF’s! I already have by candle light, perfect topping and soft and gentle, now I can add stereo rose too!!! I also got jazzed l/s…but sadly thats all I could afford..if petticoat is still available in the next few weeks I may just pick that up too, but I am happy with those two!!
Whew this is one of those times that I’m very thankful for having my smartphone in the office! I got stereo rose, jazzed and so rich so pretty… I’m a HUGE sucker for purple np lol 🙂
Thx!!!
Ordered Stereo Rose, Petticoat and Jazzed
I just got into make-up collection thing, actually want to buy more stuff, but somehow I managed to control myself…
By Candlelight is SOLD OUT on the Pro Site.. already!!
From what I was hearing, it was never in stock on the pro site – it’s still available on the MAC site!
Wow- really? it says sold out.. so weird.. Thanks!
I really want Jazzed, If it’s Pink and maybe a MSF. I think I’m going to wait until I seem them in person though. Can’t wait until Thursday!
Stereo Rose is now SOLD OUT! I hope you got your orders in!
Couldn’t sleep! Just saw Mac Online and Stereo Rose is SOLD OUT!!!
The MAC Pro site is already selling the MAC Alice + Olivia
So is the regular MAC site 🙂
stereo rose has officially sold out on the mac website as of 10:30. two hours lol. ridiculous. glad i picked mine up though:)
Really OMG, I got mine at 10:12am Thats nuts…
I was able to add stereo rose to my shopping cart but before I could even pay, it was sold out! I’m devastated. 🙁 Please Please let me know when it becomes available at Nordstrom. I live nowhere near MAC!! I’ve been looking forward to this for months. I got soo close!
It’s available RIGHT NOW!
I ordered Stereo Rose the second I saw it was on the website! I’m waiting to look at the rest of the collection at my local MAC Store Thursday but I just had to make sure I got a Stereo Rose MSF! I’m SO excited I got my hands on one!
THANK THE MAKEUP GODS, that I live around the corner from macy’s because at 9:59 am est I will be waiting at the door to buy Stereo Rose because selling out in 2 HOURS is just insane !!!!!
Stereo Rose is already sold out lol.
this is the largest mac order i’ve ever placed, but i’ve only been buying since liberty of london and got hooked. ordered jazzed, partylicious, by candlelight (first ever msf), hang loose, and soften the mood. thanks for helping me decide what to get!
It’s 10:45 am est and stereo rose is sold out I am so glad I pre-ordered mine at my MAC counter
Oh no i just woke up like half an hour ago and went on the MAC site and it was sold out. I guess i’ll have to wait for July 8th and line up at the store.
I went to Nordies yesterday to preorder Stereo Rose and got to talking to the MA. Told her I regretted not getting Marine Life. She perked up and said, “Wait!!! I just saw one under the counter!” So I walked out with Marine Life and have Stereo Rose coming to me. Yay!!!
It was a 5am wake up time for me here on the west coast. Ordered Stereo Rose, By Candlelight, Jazzed, and Togetherness. My first MAC LE purchases.
The weird thing is that if you google Stereo Rose it, it comes up as a “shopping result” on Nordstrom. You can also search for it on Nordstrom’s site and it comes up but the only MSF listed is Comfort. Judging by these 2 factors, it should be up on Nordstrom soon!
I hope so — I only remain annoyed/frustrated, because the listing has been up and showing “Stereo Rose” in the description for 2 days now!
Nooooo…!!!! will be checking Nordstrom.com like a mad woman.
Nothing sold out yet on Mac Canada! I bought MSFs in stereo rose and petticoat as well as 2 mineralize eyeshadow trio and (soften the mood and togetherness) and a lipstick (i like it like that). I’m planning on getting more stuff and maybe some items from the Alice + Olivia collection!
I just ordered By Candlelight!! I will check Petticoat in my store on the 8th… I am NW20, so I think it will work nice…
Any tutorial on how to use MSF?? Is the 187 the best brush to use with them?
Thanks a lot for the news!!
I like the 188 or 116 myself. I like the 165 (which was LE) for highlighting, but the 188 works well, too. I find the 187 just a lil’ too big.
I’m happy! Bought Jazzed and All Styled Up lipsticks plus Right Image Cremesheen gloss. That’s all I wanted 😀
Stereo Rose is still on the Canadian site if any Canadian MUGS are interested!
I got from A+O
All 3 DG Cremes
Partylicious and Later Pigments
Military Nail Lacquer
From ITG
Go For It lipstick
I’m interested in a couple of the MES trios, but I think I probably have dupes, also Hang Loose blush is beautiful, but it’s $27.50 CAD… And Mineralize blushes look a bit frosty on me, so, it was easy to pass on those two. I may still get an eyeshadow if I see them in stores next week.
MACAO is the free shipping code if you spend under $65 CAD. Also, LASH710CA will get you a free sample of ZoomLash
I’m bad, I just picked up If It Sparkles pigment as well. Good thing for free shipping codes!
Nooo! I wake up at 6 am but I forgot to check online this morning 🙁
You are so lucky you can order MAC online. I have to travel at least 3 hour get to the “local” MAC store. Damn.
I just ordered my Stereo Rose and Candelight MSFs by phone – they aren’t sold out yet =)
Lucky! I just called and the rep said stereo rose is completely sold out.
I almost fell off my chair when I saw the MAC Alice + Olivia was live!!! I was waiting till Thursday! I raced over the the website and got…
the 3 A+O pigments (My 1st MAC pigments!!)
money honey dazzleglass
funtabulous dazzleglass
total bang! superglass
Viva glam Cyndi and Gaga
mascara sample
This is my 1st mac purchase and I’m so excited!!!!
I was so excited to see A+O on the website! I was told by live chat, and in store that it would not be on the web, just at freestanding stores. I was planning to be lined up on Thursday morning for it! Now I can sleep in 😉
By the way, that is an awesome haul! You won’t be disappointed. Welcome to the wonderful world of MAC addiction.
Grrrrr so mad! I stayed up till 5:00 and then fell asleep
and now no stereo rose for me **tear**
hopefully it will go on the nordstrom website soon ;D
I hope you can do a look using Alice + Olivia products! It would be really nice!!!
I got Stereo Rose and Hang Loose! Stereo Rose is still available in Canadian website. I was so worried that it might sold out, so I processed mine in my 8:30am morning class…so worth it!! lol
I ordered stereo rose by phone through Mac Pro they have it, and I guess they still have it plenty and it is not sold out as of 9:30 PST. so Good luck 🙂
is it out at the mac counters yet or just online for now? I wondering if i should head out to my local counter…ugh i totally missed out no stereo rose =*(
It doesn’t hit stores til the 8th.
Call your local MAC Stores today (July 6th) to see if they will hold items. The standing stores may have the items in the back to so folks can get a sneek Peak and place items on hold until July 8th. I ordered the things I wanted online, just to be on the safe side. However, I will be going to my MAC counter after work to look at some potentials and place things on hold. I called and confirmed that this is going on.
omfg stereo rose is ALREADY sold out. dayum!
Everyone you have until the 8th for Stereo Rose MSF to hit stores. I’m going to keep checking Norstrom’s website to see if it appears. If not, then it may appear tomorrow.
it’s unfair alice+olivia is nôt sold in uk!
Picked up Stereo Rose and Jazzed. Hopefully my bf will get me All Styled Up and Togetherness for my upcoming birthday!
I just called Mac PRO and Stereo Rose is SOLD OUT with them for phone orders as well — 10:11 PST.
stereo rose is up at nordstrom!
YES! Got 3 Stereo Rose’s at Nordstroms along with Chillin’ Cremesheen Glass and Togetherness e/s.
I’ll be reselling all my Stereo Rose’s on Ebay as I don’t use blush 🙂
🙁
It makes me sad that true MAC fans can’t purchase items for a fair retail price because of this practice.
Too bad that so many who actually would have used them missed out…
I just wanted to clarify that I am NOT the same Cynthia that made the Capitalism comment below, though I don’t necessarily disagree… Ha ha!
From henceforth, I will be known as “Cynthia B”! 😉
really? i mean… really?
Ugh. I can’t stand it when people do this. Let those that actually want it have a chance to get it, without having to pay exorbitant amounts of money for it.
Christine, if you decline this comment, it’s okay with me. I don’t want to start trouble on here. It just feels better to have typed it out.
That breaks my heart to see that comment advertised 🙁 People woke up and stalked the various websites to get their hands on this MSF who will actually use the product. I mean to each their own, but feels kinda mean to show off that you bought so many when there are people who clearly commented that they are sad they missed it on the MAC website after 2 hours.
PS. You don’t have to approve this comment Christine either. I just wanted to let you know how that comment made me feel 🙁
I was actually waiting for y’all to get up in arms 😉 I don’t usually, but I think it’s important that the community at large point some fingers at it.
Why all of the hysteria, though? I mean, I don’t buy things just to sell them. — and if other people do, oh well. However, I don’t get all hysterical over a MSF, ya know?? I love makeup and love MAC collections — but let’s face it — there is so much HYPE over Stereo Rose — like it is the end all be all product of the century. Let’s get a grip people!!
I agree will all of you, i considere myself as really lucky cause im in quebec and that sold out way later here but it is sad that people wants to make money on the back of other people….i mean, we are not rich and i would not pay 50$ for an MSF, they are already more expensive here. MAC should do something about this! And we shouldnt buy those things from ebay, if nobody buys it, they will stop no?
that’s pure capitalism in MAC form. GREEDY, GREEDY. i guess some of us are the have-nots as a result and that sux 🙁
i managed to buy ONE SR which i plan to actually use along w/ other MSF’s i’ve bought, collected, and yes, used!
Got Mineralize eyeshadow trios in Blue My Mind and Calm, Cool and Collected 🙂
MAC online is sold out of Stereo Rose but it’s up on Nordstrom.com and it’s 1:20 pm EST
Just picked up Stereo Rose MSF (and a backup) along with some Cleanse Off Oil from Nordstrom.
ALL MSF’s are now available on nordstrom.com RUN!!!
Just purchased Stereo Rose on Nordstroms as it was sold out on MAC when I woke up this morning. Disappointed I didn’t jump on Alice + Olivia first thing too because Later pigment is sold out now as well so I’ll have to go to my local store on Thursday anyways. Thanks for the tweet it was up on Nordstroms!
Purchased mine at 10:30 am west coast time!
A little godsmacked over the fact that stereo rose sold out in two hours – way before I was even awake (SF time!) The collection will still launch in stores Thursday right? I should be able to nab a stereo rose then . . . hopefully?
Yep, Thursday!
yayyy got mine! cant wait.
Do these come out in stores July 8th, or are they out today?
In stores on the 8th!
I’M SO HAPPY! I just placed my order, thank you for posting! I’ve been lusting for this collection since April and it felt like forever but I’m so glad it’s out! I got all of the MSF’s except for Comfort and I also got two lipsticks: I Like It Like That and All Styled Up. I’m skipping Alice + Olivia.
Stereo Rose is still available on MAC Canada.
In the Groove is up on Nordstrom.com Stereo Rose MSF and all!!!!
i got my stereo rose from nordstrom woo!!!! at least i know i will have it! i can’t wait till thursday to buy the rest at the store lol!
One or more of your items is no longer available and will not be shipped. We apologize for this inconvenience and would be happy to assist you in finding a replacement item(s).
This just came from nordstrom….. wtf.
I received the same email from Nordstrom, and I ordered the stereo rose not more than 10 minutes after the MSF’s popped up on the site… >:(
me too! i’m pissed.
Later pigment from A+O is sold out @MAC.com 12:38 CST
I purchased Stereo Rose and Petticoat!
I got the In the Groove and Love to Love eyeshadows (I went to my boutique). I really wanted to buy a MSF but when I tried it, even By Candelight was WAY too much shimmer for me. I am all about the neutrals. Since I just wanted a highlighter I got a cream color base in Hush instead. Ooh and a Viva Glam V gloss and tecnakohl in earthline!
just purchased jazzed. not a super huge fan of mineralized eyeshadow. already own by candlelight and petticoat.
I am so happy! I just ordered Stereo Rose from Nordstrom! Thanks for the link!
okay so cue wierdest question: its really hot these days and i’m paranoid the lipstick is going to melt while in shipping:S any thoughts?
It may sweat, but it shouldn’t melt.
thanks so much!
just placed an order with nordstrom for stereo rose.
still haven’t received my confirmation email.
with all the online purchases – I hope nordstrom doesn’t have to email people back and say they sold out – that happened to a friend of mine with Marine Life – she ordered it online from nordstrom only to find out later – that they didn’t have the stock to fill her order.
I’m nervous – but hopeful that I’ll get it. 🙂
Nordstoms has it up
Haha your “my haul?” section just made me lol. Funny! 🙂 I’m not much of a makeup buyer (lover yes, buyer no). So I’ll just enjoy the collection vicariously through you!
haha I check Mac online as soon as I came into work and I saw that it was already sold out (Stereo Rose). I then went to Nordstorm online and it didn’t show up either. But after coming onto your website, I went back to Nordstorm online and it was there. I grabbed Stereo Rose and Petticoat but something is up with there website because it took me a while to pay for it. Its slow for some reason…kekeke
I purchased Stereo Rose, Petticoat, and By Candlelight. I am so super stoked to get my order come on Mr. Postman! I’m going to swatch Comfort at my local Mac counter before purchasing as I think it might be too much for my fair skin tone. Hope everybody else is getting what they want from the collection 🙂
lol Its so funny how crazy everyone is getting over getting Stereo rose! Including me! I have been reading all of the updates and It sounds like the world is ending and we are all trying to get that last bottle of water before they run out!What has gotten into us??I logged on this morning and ordered it on the Mac site faster than my fingers could type! And now Im sitting here wondering….why did I want it so bad?? haha Mob mentality!!
I had told myself that I was going to skip these two collections but, when I started reading all the comments about stereo rose I said to myself, this must be something worth purchasing. I have never purchased a MSF nor desired to own one, not too sure why they have never been appealing to me before this collection. I loved the swatches and I am excited about receiving them. I just hope that I don’t have buyer’s remorse after receiving them. *sigh*
Me too! Plus I have Soft and gentle which I LOVE so I am hoping Stereo rose will be just as great. Im an NC40 so it seems like just the right amount of pigment for my skin!
I betting stereo rose will be quite lovely on you. I don’t know what color I am in terms of Mac foundation (I wear Smashbox Fair 2). Which is one step up from being a translucent ghost ;)I imagine that stereo rose is going to take a good deal of blending and a very light hand when applying it on myself.
I had soft and gentle in my bag and decided at the last minute not to purchase it. The color description soulds wonderful, do you think it would be flattering on someone as light as me?
I think it would! Its great as a highlighter so I think that it would look great on your cheekbones over your favorite blush. Good thing its not limited edition because its my favorite (and it lasts FOREVER)!
yay just bought stereo rose for in store pick at nordies =D!
Stereo rose is now sold out on the canadian site, as well as Jazzed lipstick
i know! i thought stereo rose would be sold out for sure but not jazzed at least i got it:D
12:13pm Pacific time. Just ordered Stereo Rose from Nordstrom, and it didn’t give a “sold out” warning. Thought someone might find that useful.
Stereo Rose is sold out online for Canada now too!
Jazzed and Stereo rose now sold out on MAC Canadian website. WOW!!
Which MSF do you ladies think are best for a NC45 skin tone….
Ordered my Partylicious! I am so excited!
How does Jazzed look on NC25 skin tone?
I’m NC25, and I have a lip swatch posted in the review section.
Thanks! it looks gorgeous on you!
LASH710 worked for free shipping, but they were out of Zoom Lash samples! 🙁 Oh well, I’m glad I placed my order for Jazzed! Can’t wait!
Okay so I went back to the Nordstrom website and I finally got to order some stereo rose. Yay! Then I went back to the MAC website and Later pigment is already sold out! Are they going to be releasing it on other sites as well. Does anybody know!?
No, just on MAC as far as I know.
Sometimes they restock. I hope this is one of those times. MAC would be silly not to. I live in Texas and there is no MAC store nearby. My sis is in Cali this week. I’m gonna see if she can snag the pigments up for me. She has an incentive because I always give here samples of all my pigments. I luv my sis!
I reserved Stereo Rose, By Candlelight, Petticoat, and Jazzed lipstick at my mac counter like a month ago. I was DETERMINED to get them haha.
My haul is pretty stunning… I haven’t come across a Mac collection in years that I’ve really purchased a lot from. There’s my justification. I purchased Stereo Rose, By Candlelight, Comfort, 3 Creamsheen Glasses, 2 mineralized eyeshadow trios and Jazzed.
I may end up returning an item or two, but still.
I nabbed Petticoat, By Candlelight, and In the Groove at 7:00 AM PST. I had Stereo Rose in my cart, but decided against it when I finally admitted I wasn’t that excited about it and was only getting it because everyone else was.
Hmm, I put in my order for Stereo Rose @ Nordstrom but I’m not feeling too confident about actually getting it. The MAC in my area said all the pre-orders were on hold already.
i got stereo rose and im so happy i did! it took a while before it sold out on the cdn site. believe it was around 11am that it sold out
I just purchased Stereo Rose from the Nordstrom! Two minutes ago.
Nordstrom website that is!
I think Stereo Rose is sold out at Norstrom…I bought it about 15 minutes ago and now it is not showing up on the site. I ordered one in store and figured I’d give it a go online too in case one method fell through. Good luck to everyone who wanted one.
Oh also, on the offchance that I actually get both Stereo Roses (who knows if that will happen though…), if I put it up on eBay there’s no way I would mark it up that much. Never sold anything on eBay but I think it’s a tad bit unfair to mark something up to like $100 bucks if its retail value is only $28…I get that people are trying to profit but still…
I woke my dad up (he was taking a day off to take my sister to the zoo) so I could get Stereo Rose! He wasn’t very happy, but now I have a By Candlelight, and Pettiecoat and a Stereo Rose comin my way!
At 1:58 PST I finally gave in and nabbed Stereo Rose and Petticoat since it didn’t show “SOLD OUT” on the Nordstrom site (I took it as a sign…I told myself that since the MAC website sold out this morning that I would just wait till Thursday…but gave in once I saw that it was still on Nordstrom)! Oh I also got Jazzed lipstick after seeing how pretty it was on lollipop26’s blog and here on Temptalia. (I would never got it otherwise cuz it looks so scary orange in the tube). This is my FIRST MSF purchase and I was also thinking I could resist the hype but with such a uniformly flattering shade as Christine keeps saying Stereo Rose was I figured WHY NOT GET IT and try it on my NC30 skin :). *CROSS FINGERS* that my Nordstrom confirmation email comes soon…if it’s sold out then I guess Thursday was meant to be haha.
SUCCESS! Nordstrom confirmation email received! Sadly the MSF’s are estimated to arrive by 7/21…will have to twiddle my thumbs and wait for the pretty products patiently. Definitely beats buying them off a beauty blog or eBay for an increased price tho! ^_^
Am I missing something here? What is special about this collection. It is not doing it for me in the photos.
Whoa, looks like I got Stereo Rose right on time! I got it 30 min. ago on Nordstrom and it it sold out now!
I also got Petticoat!
Wow. Stereo Rose is already sold-out. (^_^) But I got Petticoat and Chillin, so I’m happy.
When will this collection be available at MAC counters and stores?
July 8th.
Anyone know when Macys.com stock will go up?
No idea!
Mom’s credit card is sitting right next to me and i’m so tempted to order something from Groove without telling her…but i’d get in so much trouble! must. resist.!
update from earlier – 3:20pm. Got an email saying “unable to fulfill” for Stereo Rose. Guess they didn’t catch it nearly early enough. I had even checked later in the day to see if it was still in stock, and it said it was, so they were really late on this email *sigh*.
got the last stereo rose that my mac counter. it pays to call as soon as the store opens lol
I checked Nordstroms online and they are sold out. I finally called my favorite manager of the MAC counter at Macys. She was on break but I asked them to hold Stereo Rose and By Candlelight. I told her that Stereo Rose was sold out already on MACs site and she was surprised. She also told me that Macys usually puts the new stuff online the day of the release.
LOL! Samething happened to me! I called my counter to see how many they got in and the MA said “oh we should have plenty because we didn’t take preorders” But she went in the back to double check and said “Gee we only have 2 total!” I laughed and told her good luck because its sold out online. She was astonished (heck I was too, it was 10 am!) but she was nice enough to offer to hold one for me.
lash710 wont work for me…
SOMEONE HELP. im nw20/15 and i have to chose between by candelight and petticoat! which onne?!
For highlighter, By Candlelight, if you want a blush, Petticoat.
I ordered at 6:50am… hopefully all is well. I hauled more than planned 3/4 MSFs (I passed on Comfort), Going Casual and On the Scene Cremesheens and Jazzed lipstick. I also ordered some permanent items i’ve been lemming 🙂
I preordered Petticoat and Love to Love at Nordstrom, but Stereo Rose was already gone. I checked Dillards and Bloomingdale’s but it isn’t up on the website yet 🙁
I purchased a Stereo Rose from Nordstrom at around 2:30 or so and it’s saying “Order is in process” and I got a confirmation email.
Anyone know when I’ll know if it’s actually gone through? I know some people have ordered high-demand LE items from there and then find Nordstrom has canceled the order.
I ordered stereo rose around 9 MST this morning, didn’t get the order conformation until 12:30 and I was a little worried that Nordstrom’s was going to cancel my order but, as of 4:20 I received my shipping notice. Because you ordered so late in the day (after 12), you might not get your shipping until tomorrow. Fingers crossed they can fulfill your order.
will A&O be available at places other than Mac online and freestanding stores?
Some readers have said they have seen it in their stores, but my info just says freestanding stores.
Well Nordie’s just canceled my order yet again even tho I placed it as soon as stereo rose appeared. Won’t even bother with them again.
I woke up at 6am (not on purpose) eastern time and kept checking their website what seemed to be every 10 minutes. After I ate breakfast I saw that it was up. I order all the nail polishes from alice and olivia. Then from in the groove I ordered stereo rose (hopefully I wasn’t too late- I still kick myself over missing out on marine life), blue my mind, band of roses (most excited for this), style influencer, fashion whim, hang loose, and creme d’nude. I had to debit this because I knew my mom would kill me if she saw all of this on the credit card.
I got an email saying my ordered had shipped and was super excited because I thought it was the stuff above, and then I actually read the email and it was the haute and naughty lash and neutral eye and cheek that I ordered on thursday (which came today).
I’m surprised if it sparkles sold out, no one seemed to be that interested in that one.
i had to leave for work at 815 EST and i must have just missed it…i don’t have access to a computer at work so i checked twitter on my phone during my lunch break and christine had said Stereo Rose was sold out! luckily i called my boyfriend and he checked nordstrom for me and got one! im so excited 🙂
I ordered stereo rose probably 10 mins after it was put on the nordstrom site and I just got an email saying I wont be receiving it because they are sold out :[
🙁 surprise, surprise
Don’t feel bad Allison same thing happened to me. Thankfully there is a Mac store a few blocks from me and they reserved 2. I haven’t had the best experience in this particular Mac, that’s why I tried to get it from Nordie’s.. but I will suck it up for stereo rose and get it from Mac
ugh/…. same for me i swear i ordered it right when it got on the site because i remember going to the site and it wasn’t listed then i refreshed and it was there! they took awhile to send me a confirmation email maybe about an hour or so and right when i get off from work i see an email saying they cant fulfill my order because its no longer available. Soooo mad. guess ill be waking up bright and early and running to the nearest mac on thurs.
I’m going early Thursday morning to a mac store to do my shopping! Can’t wait!
I already have By Candelight and Comfort and Petticoat, so I just finished a presale order for Stereo Rose at my local counter (over the phone; I love my MAC counter). I can pick it up at my leisure on Thursday and it’s already mine. Yay! (I also get to pick through the veining if there are any left when I get there. <3)
Comfort is fairly dark on me. I can only use it sometimes in summer and when I'm going for a specific look, but it's gorgeous. I don't know why it doesn't get the love the other three do.
Depending on what's left when I get there Thursday, I may pick up an extra Petticoat, too. <3 that one so much.
If It Sparkles is now sold out. I’m surprised Partylicious is the last pigment standing.
I am on vacation right now and won’t be home til mid-august.. I have the worst internet connection so I couldn’t order online. I am travelling 40 mins on Thurs to a nearby counter. Hopefully there is some stuff left there!!!!!!!
I’m sorry if this has been asked before Christine, but do you know if they’re going to have alice + olivia at MAC counters?
I reallyyyy wanted Later. pigment. 🙁
It sounds like some locations are getting it, but you should call yours to find out for sure.
I called my MAC and put a hold on Later pigment. They are getting the collection in Thursday. 🙂
Son of a gun! I just got the dreaded “your items aren’t available” from Nordstrom. I hate that MAC does this with their products. Would it be so hard to make the popular items like Stereo Rose permanent?
Does anyone know when Macy’s, Bloomies and Dillards are getting theirs in?
If not, I guess I’ll have to manage to get to the mall at 9:59 sharp on Thursday. >:-(
I think Macy’s said on Thursday, but it might be tomorrow. Hard to say 🙁
Do you think the websites will have them tomorrow? That’s what I was wondering about.
I could go to my counter at 10 sharp on Thursday morning, but I’m hearing on Specktra that the employees and other customers have reserved SR, so a trip there might not be worth it.
Argh!
I’m really not sure 🙁
my advice to you is do not wait on the mac website, from experience it takes them a while to restock on sold items…it could take like 2weeks trust me…i be stalking thier website daily when a product i want sells out…. so i know what am saying. Futhermore products like SR is probaly not goin be restocked becos i dunno. Recall ripe peach? it never came back. The marine life? it never came back and am not sure this would. so go where ever you need to go DO NOT WAIT ON MAC WEBSITE
Me too! I know, my stomach sank! But I just went to Nordstrom’s website and got Stereo Rose! It will be shipped on 7/30 though 🙁 Just happy I snatched it before it got away again.
I just got it too. I fully believe MAC didn’t make enough for the purpose of creating buzz. They could’ve made enough if they wanted.
I managed to snag one through a nice gal on Specktra, and it turned out to be cheaper since Nordies charges that ridiculous $8 shipping fee.
Still, this has turned me off of MAC. They make some of the most beautiful cosmetics around, but they’re sadistic with all of this LE marketing. The CEO probably giggles at the thought of everyone trying to get one and coming up short.
exactly, same thing w/Marine Life…they know exactly what they are doing. I wonder how much they raked in just from Stereo Rose?!
So I placed my order with MAC at 9:00AM ET and all was well. I just checked my order and its showing Stereo Rose as backordered and the order is pending. Is this MAC’s way of letting me know I wont get it or do they ship on the backorders?
I am glad Jazzed l/s seems to have made it through!
Jazzed is sold out now? Lol
Same thing with mine I ordered it at 9am and now I see it’s on backorder. I just called mac they said it will be shipped separately from the rest of the items when they get more in stock :/ UGH.
Oh, thanks for the info! I do hope they do ship it eventually. I’m afraid “back in stock” may mean “never”! ::crossing fingers::
Same thing happened to me for my Stereo Rose order 🙁 I don’t feel confident they will get more in stock 🙁
same thing with me! i’m so surprised, this didn’t even happen when i ordered my marine life on the site, and i thought for sure i wouldn’t get it. soo frustrating.
stereo rose = GONE!
When I woke up this morning it was sold out online. I called a few Macy’s and they were no longer taking pre-orders because it was SOLD OUT! Thanks to your site I bought it online at Nordstrom and picked it up this afternoon. The MAC gal told me I was lucky to get the last one. WOW!
Whew, yay!!
I was unable to get Stereo Rose, but ehh it’s not that bad. I got Petticoat, Jazzed and On the Scene 🙂
My order shipped! I got stereo rose and petticoat. I am excited to try them as I have never had MSFs before.
I ordered Stereo Rose and Jazzed l/s this morning around 11am (HST). I received the dreaded “backorder” email for Stereo Rose around 4pm (HST). I went to the Nordstrom website to live chat with a rep who confirmed that it is backordered and that Nordstrom expects a shipment around 7/30, which is when my item is estimated to be shipped. Crossing my fingers that it goes through. Nordstrom did ship out the Jazzed l/s today and I guess that will have to do for now.
I have one free standing MAC and numerous counters in my city so I’ll try those on Thursday to see if I can score another to give away as a gift.
i placed my order early at work to make sure i got my Later pigment..and i was so excited it went through..now when i checked on my order its backordered!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!???
I got my stereo rose tuesday and petticoat wednesday. I was surprised it came out here in our country earlier than the US launch date. Anyway, i guess it’s really a chain reaction if many people are buying that product then naturally one would be curious about the fuzz and would end up buying that product too. Well, i’m a victim of that … i bought these two msf’s because of curiosity but i’m happy because they are pretty indeed but i would’t go beyond paying more just to get those.
I beat everybody and purchased mine early at the pro store on Saturday! I might hit the store on Thursday and pick up the alice + olivia pigments, I’m still on the fence about them!
why are you skeptical about not recieving stero rose? now im worried, if you were not going to receive it wouldnt they tell you your not going to and not say it will be shipped out in two weeks? on nordstrom it even says the day it will be shipped 7/30. i ordered five minutes after you and now im very worried,,,
They just said backordered but there is no guarantee of fulfillment – I ordered from MAC, not Nordstrom. Whenever a LE item sells out fast, e.g. Marine Life just a few weeks ago, many get backorder notices but shortly after, they get cancellation notices, too.
I haven’t received any notices, but I called to find out.
I got the same backorder email. I just called and the representative said there is a very good chance I will still get mine. She said they just got an email that they are trying to get more in to fill the backorders. She told me not the cancel my order. But I am still going to stalk Dillard’s and Bloomies websites and order when it finally goes live.
This is insane! Now the Nordstrom site is showing all MSFs for sale *except* Petticoat. What the?
i went to nordies yesterday to preorder stereo rose. i was telling the ma that i wanted to make sure i got it, because i was bummed i missed out on marine life. she perked up and said, “wait!!! i just saw a marine life under the counter!” sure enough…there was one. so i walked out with marine life and my preorder for stereo rose. was a very happy girl. 🙂
I am so happy for you!!!
awww…thanks, mel!
it’s so funny…no one would understand my excitement except for the wonderful ladies on temptalia. 🙂
my “real life” friends are like, “eh, whatever.”
LOL
omg i’m so excited! i just picked up my order from nordstrom.com that i placed this morning. i got 2 “stereo rose” msf’s! and just when i thought i was done, i was walking by my favorite mac counter, which is at bloomingdale’s westfield san francisco center and asked them to put “comfort” on hold for me…now i’m kind of thinking of putting “petticoat” on hold too haha! i’m kind of on the fence about “by candlelight” though being that i am NC40 and highlighters don’t show up too well on my skin without it looking too oily…
I made a purchase around 11AM CST via Pro, and just (12 1/2 hours later) received an email saying Later. Pigment was on Backorder. I sure hope I get this one! It’s the whole reason I wanted all 3!
*TEARS* I woke up late today…I have to order through Nordstroms.com because I have a Nord card, and my credit card is maxed (Yes dad will kill me). So , I had put “Stereo Rose” in the basket while I was debating about other things and then it said it was unavailable, when 15 mins earlier it was available. So I placed the rest of the order w/o it. Then I checked again and they had “Stereo Rose” back…So I ordered it ugh…
Now it says it is delayed. I know there is a good chance I won’t get it. 🙁 I’ve never experienced it before and I wanted to…
On the bright side I got:
MSF Petticoat
Jazzed Lipstick
All styled up Lipstick
In the groove trio
If it’s pink dazzlecreme gloss from A and O (Only thing I wanted from that collection)
And I might still have hope for Stereo Rose …
Oh and my order for the Dazzle lipsticks in Babys on fire and Naughty you is on its way.
STEREO ROSe will be back online in 2 weeks.
Christine it happened to me too! Why oh why??? I ordered right after you and I’m stressed…
I ordered before I went to work at 2 and when I came home found Stereo Rose cancelled. Then I see it’s still up on Nordies. So I placed another order, and it’s telling me it’ll come in 8/12! But let’s see if this one gets cancelled too.
They still have stereo Rose available on Nordstrom site, ( as of 10:10 PST they are only sold out of Petticoat).
WOW CAN’T BELIEVE IT’s SOLD OUT
Does anyone have any idea as to when australia will get this collection as I dont want to miss out on stereo rose???
I ordered one Stereo Rose from Nordstrom and plan to use it as a blush on my NW45 skin tone. Other then that, I’ll plan to purchase the Alice & Olivia collection before I buy anything else from the In The Groove collection. I’m waiting for the Feline collection. I think that collection is going to be gorgeous!
Hey I had the same problem I put stereo rose on hold at my mac pro store and then when I got there ..it mysteriously vanished and they couldn’t find it!
As of 07/07/10 at 1:15AM, Stereo Rose is back on nordstrom.com.
I noticed, but it said 7/30 ship date! I heard someone else say it’s 8/14 now!
haha whose keeping track of whats already sold out? all the a + o pigments, stereo rose, one of the nail polishes and jazzed. 🙂
Um…can someone please explain the hype for Stereo Rose? What’s so great about it?
FYI – In the Groove is up on the Macys website at 1am (HST)…stereo rose and everything else included 🙂
I just order my Stereo Rose on Macy’s website at 6:48am eastern time. I can rest easy now.
ON THE GROOVE IS LIVE ON MACY’S.COM !!! I just ordered Stereo Rose and Band of Roses on Macy’s website at 6:48am eastern time. I can rest easy now and get some work done today.
I just checked my bank account and they charged me $28 (plus tax) less than what they were supposed to so I’m guessing I won’t be getting stereo rose. They haven’t emailed me the bad news yet though. At least I got Jazzed and Later before it sold out. I’ll try my Mac store and see if the makeup gods will be on my side today.
I Ordered Stereo Rose from MAC site around 9 am… was so happy I got one, but just got an email saying it out of stock and they said it should ship in 2 weeks. 🙁
I ordered July 6
O.K. so got an email from Nordstrom and my order was canceled because Stereo Rose is no longer available. WTH??? I’ll call my local MAC store and get it if not then oh well. Wasn’t meant for me to have.
Weird, because Nordstrom now says backordered & will ship 7/30.
Hey there, Christine,
Macy’s is showing In the Groove, as of 7:20, this morning. Sadly, Stereo Rose is not showing. I don’t know if it’s already sold out…or what.
Just FYI!
Yep, it’s sold out!
I wonder why it is still not up on Bloomingdale’s or Dillard’s sites.
Hehe, mine’s not too much of a “haul” for the collections… I just got the “Blue My Mind” eyeshadow trio. Also got refill pans of humid and mulch eyeshadow… fix + and brush cleaner 🙂 I can’t wait to get everything!
It sucks you are having a hard time getting Stereo Rose, hope you are able to get it tomorrow. I am lucky enough to live by a MAC store that releases most collections earlier and I was able to get my grubby hands on Stereo Rose last week. It is GORGEOUS. Stereo Rose is sold out on the Canadian site as well.
By some miracle of the powers that be, I got a shipping confirmation for Stereo Rose. Looks like it shipped out last night. Thanks, Nordstrom–and I hope this is for real! Hope everyone who wanted one gets one…I have my fingers crossed for you guys 🙂
When will you post what items we should get from the collection. Tick Tock I need your opinion. The last time I bought mineral eyeshadows, they just sit in my toolbox. I am wondering if I don’t need anything from this collection.
When I’ve been able to see it for myself – sorry, I don’t make any recs until I’m able to see everything in person.
Anyone know when Bloomingdale’s typically puts up new MAC collections? I got up at the crack of dawn yesterday to place my order on the MAC Pro site but nervous now that it might be canceled. I called Bloomie’s but they had no clue…lol.
and by Bloomingdale’s I mean bloomingdales.com 🙂
12:36PST – Stereo Rose sold out on Macy’s site as well.
Stereo Rose is back on Nordstrom for now…
I ordered Stereo Rose online yesterday and when I got home from work today it was in my mailbox already!! 🙂 I love it, it is truly amazing! I also got By Candlelight which is very pretty and I also got all three pigments from the A+O collection!! 🙂
I called my MAC counter today and they said that they only received 3 of Stereo Rose. That is crazy!
I got Stereo Rose through MAC at Macy’s. I was there on a fluke, killing time while I had a tire replaced at Sears… and a pack of 3 had mysteriously been found, though it had been thought to have been completely sold out. *It was my lucky day, as one of my never-in-stock tires needed replacing and was in-stock also!* I did pre-sale and pick it up tomorrow morning AT OPEN (10am PST). Anyone want to trade for MARINE LIFE???
(:
FYI….I just ordered stereo rose this morning(Thurs.7/8) from bloomingdales.com. I got the order confirmation that it was in stock and shipping 7/15. I’m so excited. I ordered one previously from Ebay and paid $46 – I wish I’d waited, but at least now I have a backup.
In th groove was up at nordies when I got up at 4:30 am central time but no stereo rose listed!
oops I meant to say bloomingdales!
WHOO HOO! First in line at my Mac counter! Got my Stereo Rose, Comfort and By Candlelight skinfinishes and you’ve got it cream sheen gloss for a nude lip! Also, couldn’t resist the Chanel counter while leaving and got the new Fall quad! giggle So excited to try everything 😀
Hi Christine! I also had the same message about Stereo Rose unavailable/backordered! I just checked my order status and it said that it shipped…I ordered around the same time you did, so hopefully you will get your’s too 🙂
We shall see! My order is all weird – since I ordered a ton of other stuff, all that shipped, and it doesn’t show Stereo Rose anywhere, even though the total reflects it!
I got my Stereo Rose from MAC at Macy’s after calling and placing one on hold yesterday. I got there right at open and all 3 were on hold! The SA was shocked. I also ordered one from Bloomies this morning but it is pending availability of stock. So if I get the one from Bloomies and the one that is backordered from MAC, I will keep one as a backup and sell the other at cost plus shipping. FYI-It is gorgeous and so worth it!
I order my stereo rose 845 am and it’s backkkordered!!! Nooooooooo!!!
Also picked up Stereo Rose at my MAC counter @ Macy’s. I also got jazzed l/s. Wish I could have picked up more but I’m on a budget. But I am very happy w/ those 2 things! 🙂 Stereo Rose is beautiful!!
My Stereo Rose was shipped from macys.com today. I am so happy. I was afraid that I would get the dreaded email. Some of my friends that ordered from MAC’s website got emails that Stereo Rose shipped, as well. I hope the rest of you were lucky. I think I might chill out on MAC for awhile, too much stress!!! LOL
Hey ladies. If anyone is interested, I am going to sell one of my two Stereo Rose. Email me with your best offer: kh25@saclink.csus.edu
STEREO ROSE back online at maccosmetics.ca!!!
