MAC Bloggers’ Obsessions Online!
MAC Bloggers’ Obsessions Online!
Thank you so much for your amazing support and love – it has been a truly tremendous day in every way.
This moment would not have been possible without all of you, because it is the power of Temptalia (which is all of YOU!) that opens up the doors to these kinds of opportunities. Having the shade sell out is bittersweet–it’s an amazing feeling, but I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’d much rather any person who wanted one to be able to purchase. At the end of the day, I’m here for you; Temptalia is for readers–being able to help you is what drives me. My passion is to create content and features to make your beauty lovin’ life easier. Thank you for sharing in this journey with me!
I’m going to keep my fingers crossed (and make Mellan keep his paws crossed!) that they’ll find some more over the next couple of days. The best way to get the latest is to follow me on Twitter or Facebook, because between my site-stalking and yours, we’ll see it if it does. Expect another Jealousy Wakes giveaway on Thursday or Friday!
Updates
- Edited @ 9:12PM PST: All nine of the shades from this launch are now listed as “COMING SOON!” It doesn’t seem likely that it just so happened that all nine shades sold out at exactly the same time, and while I definitely don’t know what’s going on, they might have tried to put a hold on purchases until it officially launches. That’s just a guess, though.
- Edited @ 9:26PM PST: All nine of the shades have now disappeared. It’s a waiting game!
- Edited @ 11:51PM PST: Several readers are reporting LiveChat giving a 6AM EST time for when things will be up for sale. Right now, all the shades are listed but as “coming soon.”
- Edited @ 7:39AM PST (6/21): I have no new news to report other than it should officially launch sometime today.
- Edited @ 11:19AM PST: Looks like you can add to cart now!!
- Edited @ 11:31AM PST: It may be sold out on the Canadian website. I checked as late as 12:24PM PST and for me, it still shows sold out. It still shows “add to bag” on the U.S. site.
- Edited @ 3:35PM PST: Jealousy Wakes is now showing as sold out on the U.S. site. Let’s cross our fingers they’ll find more somewhere somehow 🙂
You can use the code CS108LIVECHAT, TXT, OR BLOGS for free standard shipping on all orders.
I just placed my order 2 minutes ago! Super excited!!!
I ordered mine already… Used the code for free shipping as well… 🙂
Free shipping code doesn’t work for thee Canadian site. >_>
I’m also worried that if it doesn’t lunch soon I’m going to miss placing my order since I’ll be out of town this evening.
Well Jealousy Wakes is sold out … Blarg I had it in my cart and it sold out before check out. No point in placing an order.
Submitted my order! Jealousy Wakes, Hocus Pocus, Evolution Revolution, and Sonoran Rain! I may go back and get the rest just because they’re blogger created if I’m feeling crazy 😉
You’re so awesome Christine! Thank YOU!<33
I ordered Jealousy Wakes, Hocus Pocus, Caqui and Sonoran Rain and got my confirmation email from MAC. Woo! 😀
purchased my 2 shadows & 2 lipglasses 🙂 so excited.
Congrats again Christine. Just put in my order for Jealousy Wakes. Perhaps it’s the kick in the tushie I need to start wearing greens again
Ah! I just ordered but I didn’t check here first so I didn’t see the coupon code. Ugh. 🙁 Oh well.
Lol I did the same thing! I ordered it as soon as I saw the post on facebook.
Thanks so much for the heads up!
I ordered Jealousy Wakes and All of My Purple Life (not sure if it’s going to be too dark on me, but I love purple lip products!).
ditto. those are the two products that really stood out for me. can’t wait to get them!!! 🙂
i just went and bought it! along with hocus pocus, Parisian sky and evolution revolution. 🙂 i cant wait to get it!!
just ordered it SOOO EXCITED!! thanks for the coupon code 😀
Just purchased All My Purple Life and will be going back when I get paid on Friday to get Jealousy Wakes and Caqui! Yayyy!
Just ordered Jealousy Wakes and Hocus Pocus. Congrats Christine! I know Jealousy Wakes will be a hit with all eyeshadow wearers. It really is beautiful, I can’t think of a better color if I had to create it myself.
Just ordered Jealousy Wakes! I’ve had a gift card with around $16 on it lying around for over two years. And thanks to the free shipping code the total came out to just under $16. First MAC purchase in years!
Two years, whew!!
Congratulations! I bought Jealousy Wakes and Parisian Skies.
I just ordered Jealousy Wakes along with Evolution Revolution and Sonoran Rain. I’ve never worn green eyeshadow before, but yours is so beautiful that I’ve decided to try it Christine!
yay! just placed my order! so excited for you and the other creators!
Just made my purchases! Thanks Christine!
I just bought Jealousy Wakes, Hocus Pocus, Caqui and Sonoran Rain. Very excited!
Code is not working for my purchase
It’s the only code I have right now! 🙁
Oh, on Livejournal, they said there is code TXT!
TXT works I just signed up for their phone alerts and got that code and used it.
Jealousy Wakes, Hocus Pocus, and Sonoran Rain here! As well as a backup mascara to give me enough for free shipping.
I should have everything by Wednesday!
Woohoo!! I placed my order for Jealousy Wakes and All My Purple Life!
Congrats Christine and thanks for letting us know it’s online! I ordered Jealousy Wakes, Hocus Pocus, EvRev, Nitro, and Cacqui.
Anyone have a code for MAC Canada?! I’m desperate here!
BLOGS worked for me!
Congratulations Christine I just purchased jealousy awakes (which is my first green eyeshadow cant wait to experiment) and hocus pocus
Just placed my order for Jealousy Wakes! My first (and probably only) MAC purchase ever! 🙂
Thanks for the notice, I would’ve waited until tomorrow if I hadn’t seen this!
I got Jealousy Wakes (just like I said I would!) plus Hocus Pocus and All of My Purple Life because of your swatches 😀 Can’t wait to get my hands on them and depot the eyeshadows <3
I do like how Evolution Revolution and Nitro:licious2046 look, too, though…so I'll order those if I get any more birthday money by the time they're sold-out!!
You know I’m on top of it, LOL! I would much rather Temptalia readers get first dibs!
Just placed my order for Jealousy Wakes, Hocus Pocus, and Parisian Skies! Can’t wait for these babies to come home to me 🙂
Thank goodness I follow you on twitter. Just placed my order. 🙂
I just snagged Jealousy Wakes. I’m obsessed with greens. I can’t wait to play with it! Thanks Christine 😀
I know that these are online only, but will they be online for other retailers? Like Nordstrom, Macy’s, etc.?
Just maccosmetics.com!
Aw man! I’ve been so spoiled by my employee discount! I don’t wanna pay full price!
But I will, of course. Sorry, checking account…
I just bought from MAC online for the first time. I usually go to the counter at Macys. I’m glad to be able to purchase Jealousy Wakes. I was worried that it would sell out quickly and I would miss out. I did notice that there was no special advertising for the MAC Bloggers’ Obsession. How are we suppose to know if and when they were available?
It’s essentially a “soft launch.” The products are up, but it’s not officially up – once it is, they’ll have a collection landing page and all that. This happens with every MAC collection (unfortunately) 🙁
sadly I’m not seeing it on the canadian site. 🙁 i really want it!
I placed one order but when I tried to place a second order for my friend, they were all listed as “coming soon” (12:31am EST) =\
I just placed my order 20 min ago and ordered everything except All My Purple Lige. I can’t wait to use Jealousy Wakes with my other greens.
Woo hoo I didn’t miss out! I just placed my order. I’m so excited I ordered Jealousy Wakes, Hocus Pocus and Caqui! Congrats again Christine. This is so exciting!
Thank you so much for the heads up! I have been stalking the Mac site since last night (just in case they put it up early!) but I was only checking the “what’s new” section! It didn’t occur to me to look under eye shadows! 🙂 Traci
Haha, I have been here too many times with previous collections, so I had the eyeshadow page loaded and just refreshed periodically to see if it showed up in the drop down. The things we do!
YAY i placed my order! i grabbed jealousy wakes, hocus pocus, and sonoran rain. congrats christine!
just ordered Jealousy Wakes and Sonoran Rain yay! but neither free shipping code worked for me..boo 🙁
Congratulations, Christine! Jealousy Wakes is beyond beautiful (and very special)-had to get it! Also got Evolution Revolution and Sonoran Rain.
I’ve been following Temptalia for a while now, and had to delurk today. Very happy for you!
So excited to get this! I got Jealousy Wakes, Sonoran Rain and EvRev–I had thought it might be too sheer, but I changed my mind. May go back for Hocus Pocus and Sparkle, Neely…it was so cool to read all the bloggers’ stories about their inspirations and process. Yay to Mac and all the great bloggers for this awesome collection!
Christine, I’m so happy to be part of the Temptalia Family and so happy to be a part of this!! Cannot wait for Jealousy Wakes to show up in the canadian site!! XOXO
Thanks for posting this!! I was also looking at the “What’s New Section” I just purchased Jealousy Wakes, Hocus Pocus, Caqui, Sonoran Rain and Evolution Revolution… you and Karen are my favorite bloggers!! Congratulations Christine 🙂
I already ordered! Very excited to get Jealousy Wakes! I also bought Evolution Revolution, Sonoran Rain, Caqui and Nitro:licious!
Long-time reader, first-time poster. I just purchased Nitro, Hocus Pocus, Parisian Skies, and Jealousy Wakes as a belated birthday gift to myself. So exciting! (Might get the rest later, depending on funds and availability.) Congratulations to you and your fellow bloggers for achieving something so awesome!
Happy first comment! Thank you Nikita!!
Thanks for the post Christine!
I purchased the entire collection plus 2 Jealously Wakes as a show of support for you!
It will not go to waste! I always give my friends a selection of cosmetics for Christmas. I am going to give it to one of my cosmetic loving friends as part of their present this year. Now to choose the lucky recipient!!!
Beautiful color- congrats!!!!
On a side note, you are studying for the bar right now I believe? I took it twice as I am registered in two states.
Thank you, Karyn!
Well, I am trying – it is has been difficult – I think I am just a bit burnt out from juggling school and blogging for the past four years, lol!
I do now know how you do all this! I did a combined JD/LLM program, and I felt that every moment of the day was spent studying! Although, I get distracted easily 🙂
Every time I read your blog, I am amazed what you have accomplished while going to school. Law school is not easy- so much reading!!!
Good luck with the bar. July is always tough, but then it is over!!!!!
Oh no!!! My package either got stolen off my front porch or delivered to the wrong house! Those are the only two options I can think of! I am so upset!!!
It would have only been there 4 hours unattended at most! At least the rest of the collection is available still. I hope UPS covers the cost of the contents. Maybe it went to the wrong house, and they will bring it by. I am keeping my fingers crossed!!!
I just saw the eBay prices for jealousy wakes- oh my goodness!!! Christine, you should start your own company. You obviously have talent and have created quite a demand 🙂
I a so proud of a fellow lawyer to be! Congrats again!
Call them!!!
Found it Christine! My brother’s fault. When I confronted him about this, he said “it is only lipgloss, it is not like you don’t have enough of it already!”
Is he adopted???
Opps, I saw a typo above. My pet peeve. I meant to say “I am so proud of a fellow lawyer to be!” I am sure you got that, I just wanted to correct by bad spelling 🙂
is there a canadian code?
BLOGS supposedly works now!
Ooooh, I’m glad I saw this. I was waiting for a free shipping offer. I’m going to order first thing tomorrow. Christine, well done – it is wonderful that you’re getting this recognition for your great skill and understanding of colour, quality, finish – all the things women look for in cosmetic products!
Ordered!
And thanks for the code! I was fully prepared to spend $50+ but ended up getting less. =)
YAY! So glad to see these went up tonight, I was dreading waking up early to stalk the MAC site. I picked up Jealousy Wakes and Sonoran Rain. REALLY excited to try both, eeeeeek! Congrats again, how exciting!!! And thanks for the free shipping code, I am happy to save $6 any time!! 🙂 What a great way to start your week, Christine!!!! 😀
Those are the 2 I got, too!! Yay!
I went looking for it on the website…didn’t see it so I came here and I’m glad I did! Got my jealousy wakes and free shipping! 🙂
Just grabbed Jealousy Wakes, Evolution Revolution, Nitro 2046, Sonoran Rain and was gonna grab All My Purple Life, but decided against it because dark purples look like crap on me no matter how much I love them haha. I also picked up the Viva Glam Gaga II lipstick because I’ve been on a nude lip kick lately. Can’t wait to try out Jealousy Wakes, it is absolutely gorgeous and I love greens! :]
It’s there!!!! I’ve just seen it and I’m so excited. I want to place my order but I’m going to wait a day or 2 to see if they have a free shipping offer (one just ended, of course, but then seem to have them almost every week).
Thanks for the heads up! I got Jealousy Wakes, Nitro, Caqui, and Sonoran Rain. I will have to go to my local freestanding to get Vex to wear with JW next week!
Also: good luck on the bar!! A friend of mine is studying out there in Cali too. The only advice I have is go all out so you only have to do it once! LOL. I don’t think I would have made it through BarBri round two…
That’s what I tell myself – get it done now but I’ve been struggling to find the motivation/drive, sigh!
Ordered jealousy wakes and evolution revolution!
That’s weird. Tried to order and it was removed from cart and now says “Coming Soon” I guess I missed it?
It looks like it just switched over to coming soon – I don’t know why – but all of the products say coming soon now, so something is up but I don’t think anything is sold out yet!
I placed my order. I hope nothing sells out before they fill it. Thanks for the update. I had a feeling it would be available before tomorrow. =)
YEA! This is my first time buying anything from a MAC collection. I just placed my order Jelousy Wakes, Hocus Pocus, and Evolution Revolution. How exciting, Christine. It’s your big day. Congratulations!
noooo it said jealousy wakes was removed from my cart!
i checked back and it said “coming soon”
it isn’t sold out, is it?!?!
It looks like it just switched over to coming soon – I don’t know why – but all of the products say coming soon now, so something is up but I don’t think anything is sold out – it seems so unlikely that all nine would be gone at the same time.
Thank you so much for the “warning” Christine! I grabbed Jealousy Wakes and Hocus Pocus! I tried to resist Hocus Pocus, but it just looks so magical in your swatches! Are you going to be doing looks with any of these products besides Jealousy Wakes? I’d love to see what you come up with!
Not sure yet!
I am logged in and it says coming soon, plus i can`t add to bag, whyyy? I even hit re-fresh, I`ve been waiting till midnight to purchase jealousy wakes!
It looks like it just switched over to coming soon – I don’t know why – but all of the products say coming soon now, so something is up but I don’t think anything is sold out!
Ooh, thanks so much for that shipping code! Christine, you are the best.
Am I the only one having trouble, though?! What’s wrong with me? It looks like you guys are all ordering, but for me, when I select any of the Blogger’s Obessions products it says “COMING SOON” instead of the option to add to bag. I even tried it on a couple different browsers. Any ideas?
It looks like it just switched over to coming soon – I don’t know why – but all of the products say coming soon now, so something is up but I don’t think anything is sold out.
Thanks!
I just started randomly clicking around on other products and I have seen others (not this collection) marked as “SOLD OUT,” unlike these ones, so hopefully that’s some reassurance to those of us who couldn’t get it yet! We will get our chance! 😀
It is super weird. It would be the FIRST time MAC has pulled a collection that soft launched before the official date, which is why it is so bizarre… but like I said, all nine at the same time? And moving to coming soon immediately? And now they’re removed entirely…
I place my order already, but when I clicked on order status, all 3 items were gone! Weird 🙁
You aren’t alone Rebecca – I just checked my order status on the site, and all of the items have disappeared. I still see my grand total and a status of “pending”…I really hope nothing happened to our orders.
I placed my order earlier, and I’m seeing the same thing you ladies see under order status. There’s a grand total, but my 2 items are not listed! Hopefully everything will turn out okay for everyone who placed their orders early.
Hmm… it’s not letting me order them. It says coming soon and won’t let me add them to the cart. I tried refreshing. Is it working for everyone else?
I’m getting “coming soon” for everything D:
Eeeee! Seeing it on the site is insanity! So happy for you!
Thanks for the free shipping code! 🙂 I picked up Jealousy Wakes, Parisian Skies, and Sonoran Rain…I wish I could have gotten more but that was as much as I could afford 😛 Super excited to play with my new makeup!!
Hurray! I just placed an order for Jealousy Wakes. I’m getting your shadow not only because I am a fan of MAC and find the colour very unique, but also because I want to support your effort in being true to yourself and your readers. We appreciate it! On a personal note, Temptalia is a perfect place to visit at the end of a crappy day for a bit of inspiration, escapism, and more than a few shopping lists.( I adore the Lush-Light Bronze that you’ve recommended, which otherwise would have been ignored at the counter.) Thank you!!!
They all say coming soon. I hope I didn’t miss out 🙁
It says coming soon and i can`t purchase yet, why?
god i just see the “coming soon”. you girls are lucky! maybe mac stopped people from “pre-ordering” to keep it from selling out before its official launch date……..HOPEFULLY *fingers crossed*
I think you’re right and they don’t want them to sell out. Didn’t they do this with Surf Baby as well?
oo. Now everything from the collection has been removed from the site. Yeah, your assumption is probably right Christine.
Can’t say I remember MAC ever doing this before! At least we now know that someone does watch the site at all hours!
It hasn’t been removed from the Canadian site yet! Just says “coming soon”… So ominous! Can’t wait to place second order (for my friend of course :P)
Now they aren’t even listed at all. 🙁
Now they’ve disappeared from the website..this sucks. When is it “official”? 12 PST??
The colors aren’t showing up in the drop down menu for me. The site is looking a little strange, it’s showing the wonder woman quads, quite cute quad, and tartan tale shadows under eyeshadow.
All gone!!! OMGAWD!! NOOOOOO
wait now mac doesn’t have any of the collection listed! what’s happening?
i just placed my order! i’m getting jealousy wakes, evolution revolution, and sonoran rain! all of these colors look amazing! yay for free shipping! i’m so excited, hence my use of exclamation points!
This annoys me! If mac is going to put it up and let other people get don’t take it down and not let others get it.
The only thing I can think of is they pulled it so that people who expected it on the 21st will actually be able to get it then but I have no idea 🙁
That’s what I’m thinking too.. being that it’s a blogger line, I would assume that most of the people who are interested in this launch were watching the blogs and waiting for it. I bet that a lot of the people who follow the blogs were probably trying to pick it up early since you and at least one other blogger (afrobella) informed their readers that it was available. They probably didn’t want things to sell out before the official launch. I’d probably advise people who didn’t get in before they pulled them to keep their eyes on the site because there are probably very limited quantities left.
I’m really upset to know that they aren’t on the website anymore and that they released them before the 21st of June. I don’t think that’s fair to everyone who’s been waiting for the 21st to start!
This might be why they pulled it – possibly waiting for it to be the 21st. I don’t know, though!
I think that the “21st” is really subjective in a way. What I mean by that is, which timezone are they talking about? It’s already the 21st on the east coast, but not for people west of that. *nods*
MAC never releases anything in a way that makes sense. Sometimes it’s 3-4pm the day before, sometimes it’s 8AM the day before, sometimes it’s just 8AM the day of. I’ve seen midnight releases (varies for whether it’s EST or PST), too.
MAC ships out of east coast. Their HQ is in NYC, but realistically, the web team could be elsewhere.
It wouldn’t be a MAC collection without some drama.
How true is that? There is always drama when it comes to MAC launches!
I guess it’s already gone because I’ve been looking for the past twenty minutes. I really wanted to support you and Karen! 🙁
I think it’ll be back – fingers crossed – but there are too many weird things going on that don’t make sense!
i agree, it must be all sold out. really, you can never trust the “official” launch date, it’s all BS.
but then again, even the sold out shades remain on the website sometimes, until they officially are done with the collection.
but it doesn’t look good, imo. anyone have any dupe ideas for the lipglasses?
Am not risking not having this collection! I had to go to ebay and paid $24 each from the seller dealweek, annoying but at this point,oh well.
Yippy!!!! I got my order and the order number emailed. Once in my lifetime I get something in this mad rush of buying. First, I tried to order it online with the free shipping code Christine provided. Then, that didnt work so I called the 1-800 number. The sales rep was very nice and waived the shipping cost; she told me that code was only good for the blogger online (what she meant is beyond me). As I stated all the time, I am not a MAC follower. I bought it only becuz of Christine and the color is so pretty. I JUST WANTED TO BE PART OF HISTORY and the OCD that I am bought two of the same again. The order was completed before 9pm PST. Then, I just check again with the 1-800 rep. She said they do have the order.
You’re salting my wounds, Stacey lol.
Sorry. Am not trying to be fresh….but I never never get anything from this mad sale rush. I never bought any MAC LE stuff before so I wasnt even expecting this craziness and the customer service rep had to walk me thru this order. Hope everyone will get what you want tomorrow without a glitch. After all, it is MAC and not NYX.
I JUST WANTED TO BE PART OF HISTORY TOO!
Congrats on getting yours all done smoothly! See, now I’m just being totally unproductive. I’m sitting here refreshing the page instead of doing something else that needs to get done!
LOL! I’ve done that, too!
The Sales Rep online said give it 20-30 minutes and it will be back. It’s not sold out. So keeping my fingers crossed!
Just called again and she said 6am EST ERGH
LOL, I have heard 20 minutes, 2 hours, and 6AM….
Now to decide whether to stay up another 4.5 hours or to sleep and possibly miss it… haha
I will be up til midnight-ish and then make my way to bed… hopefully. As far as I’m concerned, I DON’T want it to sell out because I want anyone who wants to get it.
Nooooooo! I had it right in my cart, but when I clicked to check out they were all gone :'(
Me too! All the products suddenly disappeared from my cart!
Ok, it happened to me too! I was on the site last night at 11p CST, added everything I wanted and went to checkout and it said my cart was empty. When I was getting ready for work this morning at 5:45a CST, they all said coming soon and had no option to add it to my cart. Then, on my commute (using MAC mobile), although it said coming soon, it allowed me to add the items to my cart. I went to checkout and the cart was empty again (7:40a CST)! I currently have a tab open that I am maniacally refreshing to see if they’re available yet. Grrrr!
Okay I just called and this is my latest–
1) all orders that were submitted have gone through!
2) because items were taken off, order statuses are “pending.” I guess you can’t show what’s not *really* there?
3) items were taken off because they’re “having problems launching the collection and want to make sure everything works smoothly”
4) relaunching 6am EST
Thanks for that update!
The products are back up! Still “COMING SOON,” but now they are visible again.
6am EST? Wow, that sucks for those of us on the west coast. Either wake up at 3am or wake up to everything being sold out…
I know, it sucks. I’m debating on staying up or trying to wake up at 3am but I don’t trust mac to not just release it again earlier!
Yippy. Got my order right before 9pm PST….guess before they remove them from site. Could not use the code you provided for free shipping. Call customer service. Waive the shipping fee. Order 2 Jealousy Wakes…what a name. Not in the MAC fan club….only ordered it to be part of history and I read Temptalia’s blog for relaxation.
Omg this! I read temptalia all the time but when I’m upset or irritated, I read through old posts to relax. Makeup articles make me feel like all is right with the world. LOL!
Not a MAC addict either. I own 2 MAC products–both are limited edition lipsticks xP
For me, when I logged inn and checked my order, it shows all 4 shadows and all lipglosses. Nothing has dissapeared from the order. Maybe it’s because I purchased as soon as it was availabe? Either way I recieved an email with all product listed and when I log into the website under my order it shows all the itoms and the total, so nothing dissapeared for me?
They just came back online as “Coming soon” so I imagine because they took them out of the system, the ordering system couldn’t show anything!
Yeah, I see all of the items I purchased now. I’m pretty sure Christine has the right idea.
My card was already charged by MAC so orders already placed must have gone all through, even if mine was quite early. It will most likelly come back, every time it says “Coming Soon” it always comes back. Don’t buy from ebay with inflated prices, just wait.
Well looks like I will be staying up late to get the collection. Can’t risk them selling out! I live in HI so if I go to bed now, by the time I wake up tomorrow it will be around 2pm EST. Oh well, it’s worth it for these one-of-a-kind beauties!
Well I stayed up till Midnight here which is 6AM EST and still nothing. I just called LiveChat and she says they have no new updates. This is really frustrating. Did they make such a small production that they really don’t have enough? I hope that is not the case. Looks like I am going to bed and HOPING that there is plenty to go around tomorrow morning. *sigh*
Well, I guess these MAC products to purchase was not part of the budget this month ????
Guess I got in right before the bell.
Hi Christine and everyone:) It is 6:18am EST and they still say coming soon, so no luck for 6am EST launch 🙁
Did everything sell out? Isn’t it suppose on online today..I’m so confused lol
Weird..I just went to order (Canadian site) and all the Blogger eyeshadows are marked “coming soon” but can’t actually be ordered yet. Kinda frustrating but maybe a free shipping code will be issued by the time they’re “available”.
I don’t see any of it available online Central Time. Am I missing something? I am looking under the categories and it still says Coming Soon! They will be all gone by the time I get to order it! Help!!
The 6 am EST was a crock. It’s 8:30 EST where I am and they all still say “Coming soon.”
TORTURE!!!!
I just called MAC. Here is what they told me:
It is supposed to launch today, but they don’t know what time. They are waiting on some approval from corporate to officially launch. I mentioned the people here who said they had already ordered last night and had gotten confirmation that the order went through and the girl said, “yeah, they were not able to order.” So now I don’t know what to believe.
This is a bunch of hogwash.
I know a lot of people got charged, and from my experience, once they charge = shipped.
never been so excited to see a charge on my checking account, lol!
And I can’t even ORDER….where it should say “add to cart”,it says “coming soon”. VERY miffed. I’m also wondering about what they are “testing” with this launch. The products aren’t in their own, identifiable “launch” and they’re not in-store. I honestly think that this is some project of MAC’s to test the link between blogs and purchases. And what better way – the only way you’d know about these products at all is if you read one of the bloggers involved. The only way you can purchase is online, after putting all your faith in any one of a few blogs. And I think it’s then only a matter of time til they start their very own MAC BLOG.
It was published in WWD, Nylon, and across the web (not just blogs, but major sites like Stylelist), but since the turnaround time on this was short, I wouldn’t have expected a large push for print.
It has not officially launched, which is why it says coming soon at this time!
I was wondering about that, too. Wouldn’t that just seem self-serving, though? I’d hope that they want to know how much a blogger’s influence is worth. That’s just good marketing.
I ordered Jealousy Wakes last night and some items from the permanent line. I didn’t receive an order confirmation but I was charged and I received a shipping notification a few hours ago. I guess I’ll have to wait to find out if I’ll receive my item from this collection or not. I hope they didn’t just ship the perm items :/
Usually if you’re charged for the full amount, you’re good!
9am est, and still nothing. Any updates?
I’m rather confused…it isn’t up for me, still says “coming soon”. However, doesn’t say it is sold out and doesn’t appear in the “whats new” section. Odd….
Hi Christine,
I was wondering if you could tell me whether Hocus Pocus seems warm or cool toned. I know you don’t want to rate the collection, but it would be very helpful if I could know that information. Hopefully since that’s not a value judgement it would be okay to share that info :)?
Thanks!
I’d say warmer rather than cooler but not overly warm!
Thanks Christine! I am very cool-toned and pale but ended up ordering it anyway — I figured it would sell out if I waited and there’s always swapping if it doesn’t work for me.
I’m so excited about Jealousy Wakes — can’t wait to get it! Congrats again on this very cool accomplishment.
I’m waiting…. this is so exciting! How cool to see your shadow on the Mac site, even though I can’t buy it yet. Congrats! I’m going to pick up Jealousy Wakes and Hocus Pocus for sure, might get Parisian Skies too. I’m totally stalking their site now 😛
Ahh shucks. Hope I didn’t miss it. Hocus/Pocus and Jealousy Wakes were on my list- impressive considering I haven’t bought make up in months.
I also just want to say that I do believe it will be coming back today because I haven’t even received my email from MAC, yet. It would be a real PR disaster- not to mention a let down to the bloggers they flew out- if the collection is launched and sold out before it reaches the mainstream consumer via email notification. I’m not too concerned, yet.
still not available. still says “coming soon”
I’m so bummed out. I’m itching to get my order in!!!!
I placed my order last night! Jealousy Wakes was the first thing I got. Can’t wait to get it in Christine! It looks beautiful on you! I hope it will on me lol
Oh man…. I’m just now reading all the updates of how the names are now disappeared, but I am SOO glad I placed my order last night as soon as I saw the original post from Temptalia! My order went through (hopefully, lol!) And I was able to get a hold of Jealousy Wakes, Hocus Pocus, and Evolution Revolution lipglass. Now I guess I have to see how long it will take to be delivered….
I’ve been stalking MAC’s web site since I got in to work this morning! And I just about had a panic attack when I came here and read that they were all sold out (although, probably more likely on hold, as you said).
*twitches as she rapidly refreshes MAC’s web site*
it’s 10:18am EST and the site still lists the items as Coming Soon :/
Well, it’s morning…. I’m on EST…. and it’s still “coming soon”….
I placed my order last night when the products soft launched, got the confirmation e-mail same as everyone else, and figured that was the end of it. Reading about all the problems today, I logged back in and saw the order status still listed as “Pending”, so I called the orders department and was told that the package was actually being boxed and would probably ship out today. So, for those who placed orders before the pull, an order status of “pending” may not actually mean pending at all. Seems they’re just not updating very quickly.
My orders often say pending long after I’ve been charged. Half the time I order, I’ll receive the package before the tracking number!
I’ve had that happen with them so many times it’s laughable! But I thought it particularly odd since they’re still showing these items as currently unavailable.
I was also told they pulled it because the traffic to the site caused so many problems with the launch, though I’m not sure I believe that.
Okay cool cause mine says pending and it’s making me nervous now cause I ordered it last night and I want it!
Well for the ladies that are waiting I just called MAC (eastern time)
and she said it will go live again at any time today. Best way to search for products are by searching by name. 🙂
Christine, did MAC ever give you guys an estimate about how much product they would be producing? You think it’s a smaller batch than their usual collections?
No, I asked a few times, but they wouldn’t say. Totally top secret info!
Just wondering if this issue has to do with not having enough product to go around and selling out prematurely. I’ve never seen anything like this. Maybe MAC screwed up somehow.
Oh, do you think So This Season LE lipglass would be an acceptable dupe for All of My Purple Life? 🙂
I don’t know what kind of quantity they produced, so I really don’t know. Sorry!
aww man, its on hold.. hoping its not sold out!! i want jealousy wakes so baddd… aahhhhh…
Hi Christine,
How do you think this color will look on NC45? I “think” I am considered warm tone.
I place my order last night online and I got my conformation email . I ordered Jealously wakes , hocus pocus and sonoran rain lipglass :)I guess I was one of the lucky ones!
I ordered the exact same items last night, too. Now I can’t get anything on their website to show up. So glad I caught Christine’s scoop on twitter.
Someone on Facebook said that Mac said the orders placed last night will not go through. So I guess people will be getting refunds?
I’ve heard many people were charged and told their orders had been shipped…
Do you know if MAC Pro or employee discount can be used on this collection?
Hello my friends in beauty!
I ordered last night and got a confirmation email and order number. After reading a number of comments, I decided to call today to find out if I would have to re-order upon the official launch.
FEAR NOT! I spoke to a really nice CS rep and he said they were boxing my order up as we spoke (how cute!). So, it seems if you ordered before the pull last night, you’re golden!
For everyone else, he said the website was overwhelmed with orders last night and they’re working to fix the issue. Good luck to everyone! I hope you get the products you want! 🙂
YES! That settles it, now that there is free shopping I’m getting that shadow no doubt.
I’m tired of staring at that “Coming Soon” indicator every time I refresh the page. 🙁
LOL me too! This has been the most unproductive day in a while.
Yeah, this is super frustrating. What the heck is going on? I’ve been so excited for so long. I can’t believe Mac is pulling this crap!
Was reading Specktra last night around 10 pm when I saw that the items were online around 7:30 EST, just not featured in the What’s New section yet. Darted to my laptop and picked up Jealousy Wakes, Hocus Pocus, Caqui, Nitrolicious, All My Purple Life, and Sonoran Rain. Phew! I’m not a big lipglass girl but I bought my first one a few weeks ago and I really liked it…so went a little cuckoo there. So excited!!! Congrats Christine!
Sparkle, Neely, Sparkle just disappeared. I really wonder what’s going on!
Christine – Question you may be too busy to answer – I ordered the eyeshadows last night (went through before the “coming soon”) and I was wondering if you could suggest a way to wear “Jealousy Wakes” in a more subtle way. I live in DC and as much as I would love to rock the full on bright green over my entire lid….let’s just say it would be frowned upon….plus I have red hair and blue eyes and I’m having the hardest time figuring out how to encorporate this eyeshadow into my makeup. Was always taught blue eyes + green shadow = BAD. But it’s so gorgeous I just had to have it!
I love it as a liner – either alone or layered over another liner. You’ll get a hint of color but it won’t be over the top!
I have blue eyes, too, and NEVER wear green shadow, but I just had to buy it, too! It’s just so pretty. I need to find ways to wear it now!
I have that issue, too, but I had to get it. Christine is right that using it as a liner is awesome. I’m also going to layer it with some neutrals, like maybe one of the deeper browns, and use it at the corner of my eye.
Another thing is – you can always pat over a natural matte shade to give it a more muted look!
I just called the 1-800 number and they said that the site was down because so much traffic went it to it last night when they released the products….I forgot to ask for a shipping code & does anyone have one & do I have to spend $50 for the free shipping?
Interesting, since I was on it enough and it didn’t seem slow at all! I didn’t see anyone mention it was down either 🙁
CS108LIVECHAT, BLOGS, TXT are all free shipping codes.
Bleh. Was constantly checking the site til about 7am EST. I’m still tired and they STILL haven’t released it! I had no issues with the site at all, except when I submitted my first order… I got an “Internal Server Error”… But I refreshed and I think my order went through? After that (it was about 12:14am EST), I think they changed all the products to “Coming Soon”.
OMG IT’S UP!
you can order them now… i just processed by… super excited!!!
Just placed my order for Jealousy Wakes, Ev Rev, and Sonoran Rain. I tried to order surf the ocean pigment but by the time I went to check out, it was sold out again! MAC, you drive me crazy sometimes. I swear they had like one in stock. Ugh.
Anyway, I’m excited to receive my shipment.
they still have surf the ocean on nordstrom website.
I tried to order by phone & they said they can’t place my order for an other 30 min b/c there’s so much traffic on the site. She said there’s hundreds of thousands of people on the site. They are still trying to launch it online. She said for me to call back in 30 min. This is so frustrating!
i had to call the 800 number to placeorder coz our computer was being monitored. at first the operator said to call back again coz she was having technical difficulties and that their system was down. i pleaded and said that i was up since 12 and have been trying to get jealousy wakes but it was already sold out (i called at 1pm). i guess she felt sorry for me and she said she will see what she can do. after 30 seconds she got my order. after 15 mins i received my confirmation order through my email=) i guess you guys just have to plead=)
The site is working for me now. I just placed my order. Thanks so much for the free shipping code. 🙂
I just placed my order! 2:08pm EDT and it went through 😀
Just ordered Jealousy Wakes & Hocus Pocus :).
I just placed my order…jealousy awakes, hocus pocus and caqui lipglass! yay!
The collection is available now!
It’s UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just placed my order! It is 11:15 pacific time, and when you click on the shadows now in the drop down menu, the site lets you order instead of saying “coming soon”. So excited!
It’s live!! I just placed my order, I was randomly looking through and I thought I’d click on your eyeshadow and see if the status had changed and it did, so I purchased. Yay! So excited!
finally! i ordered JW. 🙂
As of 2:15 pm here in Boston, it’s up!!!!
Ordered mine finally!
Placed my order! I’m so excited! I hope it all works out
Just got my order in! Been on the site all day waiting!
The server keeps shutting down….damn. I was this close to ordering what i wanted!!
seriously MAC needs to get it together!!! I had the items in my cart and they mysteriously disappeared! Looked back at the blogger’s collection info page and none of the items were there… WTH?!?!?
mac website: Bloggers’ obsession is now under whats new but the product is not listed yet
Grrr, I’ve been monitoring the US MAC site all day, and finally I get to add Jealousy Wakes, Sonoran Rain, and Nitro:Licious to my cart, am about to check out, and poof! the cart is wiped and the items are back to “Coming Soon” status. Grrrr!
Well, was finally able to place my order around 3:25p (Eastern)…hopefully I don’t get a dreaded “sorry this item is unavailable” email in a couple of hours! In any case, how awesome for Christine and all the other bloggers at the massive consumer response!
I just placed my order, I got jealousy wakes and hocus pocus eye shadows. Congrats Christine, I cannot wait to try out your shade. Free shipping code worked as well 🙂
This is crazy! Ridiculous! A hot mess! I just went on Mac’s site, WAS ABLE TO PUT THE PRODUCT IN MY CART, and then they all dissappeared! Poof! Just like that! I refreshed several times and got nothing, all the products from the collection are no longer on the site. AT ALL.
THEN, seconds later, I got an email from Mac advertising that “Bloggers Obsession is here!” Really Mac, REALLY?
the eyeshadow is gone!? and I cant seem to get the code to work =(
puahaha i just got the email from mac also telling me that the blogger’s collection is “now here.” Wow, no not really MAC because when I click on the link there is NOTHING. good job! 🙂
NOOO!!! Jealousy Wakes is sold out on the Canadian website. Will it come back in stock? I’ll just have to continue stalking the MAC website….
On the site right now…can’t order 🙁 Says Coming Soon. On the splash page, I can’t see any collection info. So annoying.
Hi Christine! Ever since I read about your creation, I couldn’t wait for it to go on sale. I was checking MAC’s site all morning but it wasn’t available yet…I had to step out for a bit…and when I just checked again now, IT’S SOLD OUT!! WAHHHHHHH!!! That was the only shade I wanted too!! I’m so bummed out! On the plus side, kudos to you for creating such a magnificent shade!!
I just tried to order mine at it saids coming soon, whats up with MAC website, anyone else having problems? oh and MAC emailed me saying its online with free shipping code BLOGS
I was trying to find out another free shipping cause CS108LIVECHAT didn’t work and now it’s sold out 🙁
Yay! Thank God I have a twin because I stayed up off and on since 3:00am PST and my sis watched the site like a hawk so she was able to buy 2 All of My Purple Life, 2 Nitrolicious, 1 Sonoran Rain, a Jealously Wakes and a Hocus Pocus! I’m so excited! They sold out so fast, Mac underestimated how many readers beauty bloggers have! Hopefully they make some of these shades permanent.
I just got an email from MAC with the Bloggers Obsession collection but the site still says COMING SOON when I search for Jealousy Wakes. PERFECT FREAKIN’ GREEN CHRISTINE! <3333
FINALLY! IV BEEN STALKEN THE MAC WEBSITE SENCE 6 IN THE MORNING,(TRYEN NOT TO FALL ASLEEP IN FRONY OF MY LAPTOP!, LOL) AND JUST WHEN I WAS GONNA GIVE UP I CHECKED AGAIN AND PURCHASED IT BEFORE THERE WAS THEE ANAUNCMENT!! 🙂
I had my items in my bag and was going through the checkout process and it kicked me out and said I had no items in my bag! 🙁 I called MAC and she said they were all sold out! Now back to coming soon…. so sad 🙁
I went in and added 4 items and when I went to check out then items were removed. Jealousy wakes is back to ‘coming soon status. =(
it’s not showing any product for the collection. and, the live chat is down.
seriously, mac??? you create all this hype in the blogosphere about this collection and this is how you handle the launch? if this is mishandled, i guarantee it will be my last MAC purchase.
The minute you posted it on Twitter that it was available…I logged into MAC’s website and had it in my checkout cart. After I picked the shades I wanted, it was removed…and now “Jealously Awakes” is SOLD OUT 🙁 🙁
Congrats, Christine! Jealousy Wakes is sold out in Canada… And within a couple minutes of the email being sent out! (I know you wanted everyone to have a chance, but your colour was just too good!)
this is ridiculous i’ve been stalking the mac website the whole day and i kept refreshing the page and finally when the products were avalaible the website was too slow and by the time i added everything i wanted in the cart and wrote all the billing and shipping information jealousy awakes was sold out and removed from my cart. the whole limited edition limited quantities thing is getting on my nerves. i really hate mac right now and this is the last time i will waste my time trying to get my hands on their limited edition products.
Jealousy Wakes is SOLD OUT – I went to place my order and it’s been sold out already – which is TRULY upsetting considering the only reason I was placing an order was to get this colour. I really hope they do a second launch!
Now all the products have been removed again. FFS MAC! What the hell are you doing? *pissed*
Awww no! I was in a meeting at work!!! You’re all sold out well, jealousy wakes is, and I only ended up with Hocus Pocus and Parisian Skies 🙁
I don’t see it anywhere on the site. I received an email from MAC about the blogger’s products, but now I don’t see it anywhere. I looked under the regular shadow section, but Jealousy Wakes is not in there anymore. I saw it this morning listed as “coming soon”, now I don’t see it at all. Is is just me?
I got the email from MAC saying this was online and the Jealousy Wakes eyeshadow says sold out on the Canadian site 🙁 That sure was fast.
is everything sold out? I was checking the site like crazy last night and some of this morning and wasn’t able to add anything to cart… then they sent an email about this collecion and I clicked it right away, but nothing is there anymore.
Jealousy Wakes is sold out!! Good job Christine… can’t wait for mine to arrive (ordered it yday, before they changed it to ‘coming soon’)… also love the jealousy wakes with the blue look you did, and ordered that gorgeous blue too!!
OH. MY. DEAR. GOD.
I was busy making other selections and Jealousy Wakes was taken out of my cart. Go to add it again… and it’s sold out.
I’m going to go cry now. I’ve been waiting since 8 am for this…
ITS SOLD OUT 🙁
Just checked the site and it says Jealousy Wakes is sold out! :/
Just got my order in! Yay for Temptalia 🙂
Just got my order in! Yay for Temptalia!
I had trouble with the website (are they having problems?), but I was persistent and finally managed to get what I wanted! 😀 I got Jealousy Wakes, Hocus Pocus, Evolution Revolution, and Caqui.
I’m really frustrated right now. I had to leave my place for 1 hour ( it wasn’t online yet for the Canadian site), and when I came back Jealousy Wakes was already sold out. In less than an hour! Come on MAC! I’m tired of the chasing game. I really sad ’cause a I wanted JW soooo much =(
IT’S BACK UP ON THE EST TIME ZONE! 3:10PM HERE AND I JUST PLACED MY ORDER FOR JEALOUSY WAKES ONLY!
HEY GIRL HEY!!!! I just placed my order! Got my confirmation number and anything. THANK GOD. I have not been that stressed over makeup in a really long time!
My haul:
2 jealousy wakes, 2 parisian skies, 1 hocus pocus.
Whew!
Can you post the ingredients? I am allergic to a couple of ingredients. Thanks
I don’t have the official boxes, just sample ones 🙁
Bummer that code “CS108LIVECHAT” isn’t working!!!! 🙁 At least they finally have them up for sale!!! CONGRATULATIONS Christine I’m sure this feels nothing but amazing!!!! Thank You! I look forward to “Jealousy Wakes” and creating several beautiful looks with it 🙂
Loving Jealousy Wakes- green is my favorite color, and you really made a stunning shade! I ordered two so that I have a spare for years to come.
just placed my order for jealousy wakes and hocus pocus! thank you for the shipping code. christine you must be so excited right now, what an experience you had! i think your shade is going to do great! kudos!! 🙂
HAULED ‘EM! I got Jealousy Wakes (of course), and Caqui, All My Purple Life, and Evolution Revolution lipglasses. The other colors seemed too dupable to me, plus I kind of got these as a “souvenir” of the blogs I actually read. I wish they would do this every year!
Just ordered Jealousy Wakes, Sonoran lipglass, and Caqui lipglass! I’m so excited!:P
I also called MAC and they said that my order is being shipped out today regardless of the pending status that shows on the order history. I ordered it as soon as you posted up this blog entry yesterday evening. Im so glad i did and didnt wait !!
I called the phone line… the woman knew immediately I was calling about Jealousy Wakes being sold out. Turns out it SOLD OUT in five minutes since it went online. Holy god.
Congrats Christine… yours is the only one sold out I believe, but goddamn I am livid that I didn’t get a chance to purchase it. 🙁
REALLY hoping they make it a permanent shade since the demand for it was absolutely insane.
I got my order in! I ordered Evolution Revolution, Hocus Pocus & of course Jealousy Wakes!!!!!! Yay!
Reading about how Jealousy Wakes sold out moments after I placed my order makes me feel slightly guilty, but mostly really relieved that I was able to make a purchase before the madness!
I ordered two of Jealousy Wakes, and one each of Hocus Pocus, Parisian Skies, Caqui, and Nitro:licious2046.
Now that’s a haul! I’ve been stalking the MAC website and refreshing the page obsessively- looks like it was a good thing that I did.
I just placed my order for Jealousy Wakes (and a few permanent eyeshadows I needed in my life after I saw your previous posts on orangey/yellow eyeshadows)! The shipping code didn’t work for me but 🙂
I just ordered mine. Yay! I can’t wait to see your creation!
Finally, I just placed my order for Jealousy Wakes. I did want to try Hocus Pocus, but I have to penny pinch and I’m a sucker for greens. It’s just before 3:30 pm EST. It seems to have just come up for order again. It previously had them as “Coming Soon” but disappeared this afternoon. It is under the “What’s New” section and now the products are listed beneath when you click on Bloggers’ Obsession. I used the code BLOGS, b/c the CS108LIVECHAT did not work for me. I do suspect they did a tester on us to see how much and how fast word travels on blogs but I could be wrong….maybe they just majorly dropped the ball last night, LOL.
Woo Hoo, my order is in, and the code “BLOGS” worked for me. 😀 I’m so excited!!!
sweeeeeeet just got jealousy wakes and Hocus Pocus…only been at it since midnight 😉 This must be so cool for you Christine everyone has been gpoing crazy to get there hands on your shade. Great job
I placed my order! I got Hocus Pocus, Parisian Skies, and Jealousy Wakes. I tried so hard to resist Jealousy Wakes because I don’t wear greens very often, but it is just too pretty and unique to pass up. You did an awesome job Christine!
Finally got an order in 🙂
It is 3:30 in New York City, so EST. Nothing is sold out, as far as the MAC site shows.
I got Jealousy Wakes, Parisian Skies, Hocus Pocus, and Caqui.
Hooray for all the Bloggers!! 🙂
Why do people keep saying Jealousy Wakes is Sold OUt? Its totally not. I just ordered 2, and after reading the comments, went back again to see if it had already sold out and it hadn’t. I was able to add more to my cart.
It’s sold out on the Canadian website!
Christiiiiine! I’ve been a long time fan/follower and have never posted prior to this. (Actually, not true. I did ONCE but I never saw it in the log of comments so it must have disappeared into the wind. I got over it though!) Anyway, I JUST placed my order for Jealousy Wakes and Parisian Skies. Although I’ll readily admit that I own absolutely no greens in my arsenal of eye shadows, it feels really special having your own creation be the very first addition. I love your blog so so much. Keep it up, babe.
Thank you, Daisy!
And I apologize for your comment disappearing! 🙁 Although I do have a comment from on a RBL post!
wow… I can’t believe the server crashed! had to put my order through by phone. I got hocus pocus & jealousy wakes (of course!) can’t wait to try ’em! Congrats on the seriously awesome turnout!
I placed an order too. I just hope that I get them soon.
I ordered Jealousy Wakes! Definitely can’t wait to use it 🙂
Got two Jealousy Wakes plus Sonoran Rain, Nitrolicious and Evolution Revolution. Congrats Christine!!!
I was having problems purchasing online so i called the 1800#. They let me use my pro discount but i still had to pay for shipping so it cancelled out. yay! i got jealousy wakes & hocus pocus!
Christine- the lady on the phone was really pushing your eyeshadow! she was so excited about it. she was saying how it’s even more beautiful in person.
LOL! Wow! I am flattered to hear it. I just hope everyone else enjoys it! I’m a nervous wreck!
I find your swatches to be very true to color (unlike MAC’s site). Your JW looks sold me. It’s gorgeous! Don’t be nervous! Or if you must be [nervous], I hope it’s the good kind. :’)
omg!!!! ITS SOLD OUT!!! i totally needed this in my life!!!! =[
just bought jealousy wakes. it’s such a beautiful green, i couldn’t resist. wish i had read this first, with the free shipping codes. oh well, i’m glad i got it. 🙂
I’ve ended up buying it on Ebay. Came to $28 USD with shipping (to Canada). Sucks, but it’s worth it, in my opinion.
For people in Canada who missed out on Jealousy Wakes because it sold out in five-fucking-minutes… there are about 7 more Jealous Wakes available on Ebay right now. Snatch it up while you can!
Woo hoo! Picked up jealousy wakes and Parisian skies e/s and sonoran rain and evolution revolution l/g! Soooo excited!
I just ordered Jealousy Wakes, Hocus Pocus, Parisian Skies and Nitro:licious 2046 🙂 Congrats and THANK YOU Christine! You deserve it!
Boo!Jealously Wakes Sold Out!:(
I wanted to get Sparkle, Neely, Sparkle…but the finish is a complete turn off. I can’t stand working with Velvets. They are sooo gritty. I only ordered yours! Veluxe pearls are always good to work with! Thanks for choosing a great finish!
I just placed my order but the codes didn’t work for me since I’m a mac pro member, it was still worth it though, I’m super excited
I called MAC and they waived the shipping fee… I told them that the code is not working..
Finally! I called in by phone coz I can’t use our computer at work! I jz purchased jealous wakes, hocus pocus and all my purple life:) thanks christine for doing the jealous wakes!:)
jus ordered your e/s super excited for it =]
Just picked up Sonoran Rain and am considering Sparkle, Neely, Sparkle! So excited.
Hey all .. Just a heads up since someone asked early, employee discounts are available on the product! That being said, pro members will also receive discount!
Woo-hoo! Your photo was in my in-box in the MAC ad! Congrats Christine! If it was not already sold out, I was going to buy it for my friend who DOES wear those darker, brighter shades of green that I cannot carry off at all.
I’m so sad that Canadian stock went so quickly when U.S. stock is going going going 🙁
Congratulations Christine! I’m really happy for you, hope it’s a huge success!
yayyy!! i was able to order JW about an hour ago! glad i didn’t hesitate! i already know it will be much loved this summer! thanks christine!
Yay – I just ordered your eyeshadow plus a few other things. 🙂 After seeing Green Lantern all I want are green eyeshadows now. I also bought the Emerald Green pigment. I’m so happy I was able to buy one. I could have bought more than one but I didn’t want to be greedy!
You’ll love Emerald Green!!
I looked for Emerald Green Pigment today and did not see it. Is that only available in the canadian market or something and not US? That is one I would love to have if I could get my hands on it.
PRO only!
Since JW was sold out the MAC artist recommended Emerald Green for the closest shade.. does anyone know if it close to JW?
Got it!!! Got Jealousy Wakes and Hocus Pocus! It was my favorite movie growing up and the colors look great! Christine: you should have a contest next month and give who ever a prize that sends in looks they created with Jealousy Wakes and/or feature them on your website! I think it would be fun and it could be a tribute to you and all you do for us 🙂
After many hours of lost sleep and hitting the refresh button until my finger is numb, I got Jealousy Wakes and Sparkle Neely, Sparkle! WOOT!
Sold out on the U.S. site :). Congrats! Glad I snagged one before they were all gone.
Still just showing up as sold out on the Canadian site but still up on the U.S.! Seems like there was a HUGE discrepancy in stock for Canada/U.S.
Yay 🙂 I just placed my order for jealousy wakes and evolution revolution (just because I loved the name, reminds me of the Beatles) and got the free shipping. Way to go Christine!
I tried to order last night and had everything in my cart. When i checked out, nothing was there. MAC then took it off of the site, and now when i finally got to order, Jealousy Wakes is sold out!! Im so mad!!! I hate when MAC does this! How hard is it to make enough for the demand! Oh well, i ended up buying Hocus Pocus, Sparkly, Neely, Sparkle, Sonoran Rain, and Caqui! That should hopefully keep me happy hehehe. Booooo on Jealousy Wakes though! I feel totally cheated!!!
Christine, I read your blog everyday. You have an awesome blog. To support your blog, I bought Jealosy Wakes eyeshadow. Congratulations to you.
I’m furious! It is already SOLD OUT. This morning, it couldn’t be ordered (“coming soon”). I went out to the gym and 2 hours later, Jealousy Wakes is SOLD OUT. I tried calling customer service about this and the line went all funny while I was on hold (they’re probably swamped) but I was asked to fill out an online survey and I let them know BIG TIME in that! At least I could get Hocus Pocus!
Yay I just ordered jealousy wakes! Can’t wait to get it.
Christine, have you tried putting this over the big bounce shadow in my next indulgence? I know you don’t like those shadows, but you said they work better with a shadow over them.
Christine, I think it’s saying something about you and also your site that yours is the only one sold out on the Canadian site (can you hear my teeth gnashing because I’m so disappointed?) I wonder if they will make more since your creation is clearly a major mega-hit! I sure hope so.
So frustrated that I couldn’t order Jealousy Wakes in Canada – they wouldnt even let me pay on the phone or the American line…. and of course the EBay vultures have upwards of 70 eyeshadows in their carts. There is absolutely no way I am ordering one off of those “opportunists!” And would suggest that everyone else does the same!
I also can’t believe I’m so upset about this – it must be the fact that I set my alarm clock every half hour to check the website in case it went back up early, and then have been awake since 4am EST obsessively refreshing the mac website.
While fundamentally I agree with you… I just have to say there was no way I was going to miss out on this colour, even if I have to pay an extra ten bucks for it!
I HATE that people buy a ton and sell them on ebay! It’s not fair!!
I totally agree with you Elaine. As much as I’m sad not beeing able to get it, no way I,m gonna buy from those scalpers on Ebay.
I hope Mac gets the message we like it and make more!
Way to go, MAC. I checked the site a few times this morning but was busy at work when it went online. Congrats, Christine but shame on you again MAC for letting your loyal customers down.
It’s up, but I had to pick “All Shades” when I chose the shadow as the default of “Bestsellers” doesn’t have anything on it. The Lipglasses go straight to the list, though. They all seem to be available.
I just saw the MAC Ad promotion in my email and it only has five of the bloggers listed and pictured and the ad even says “here are the first of our nine”. So are they splitting up the collection now? Probably because your e/s sold out so fast Christine!
It appears that they sent out two separate emails – one has five and the other has four. I received one with me in it on one email, while the other email got the one with five bloggers (but not me).
They sent me both launch e-mails, one each day yesterday and today.
How weird!
I was able to order 2 of the eye shadows but did not get to use the free shipping. That cost me $6.00 extra. Boo Hoo! Anyway, i am looking forward to receiving the eyeshadow I ordered, including your color. It is the best one! Jan
It is not sold out in Canada, it still says add to cart on every product. I’m really excited to get everything in the mail 🙂
Just placed my order (I got the entire collection!). I can’t wait to play! I’m very happy for you, Christime, and thanks for taking us along on your journey of creating Jealousy Wakes! 🙂
*Christine! Sorry about that. I’m running on two hours of sleep! 🙂
No worries! You & me both, lol!
i just bought it!
So bummed! Jealousy Wakes is sold out! I NEED to get some. Christine – did you pick up any extras you can sell? 🙁 *sniff, sniff*
Awww I called in my order and right when It was checking out tge rep told me jealousy wakes sold out boo =(
Bought evolution revolution and jealousy wakes. Just checked again and I saw jealousy wakes is sold out!!! Congrats Christine! What an accomplishment!! 🙂 You know exactly what the people want lol.
NOOOO! i just went to look and jealousy wakes is sold out!!! 🙁
Uhohz, Jealousy Wakes is sold out on the US site, it’s almost 7:00 pm EST. I don’t know how this works but I hope my order will be fulfilled from earlier this afternoon. I don’t want them to contact me and just go “Oops, sorry, we sold out before your order could be filled so here’s a credit”. I don’t know how MAC works with that nor if they have more supply in the process of being made. I hope everybody who wants to order it can. I just got 1 JW with free shipping. Had they released it, say, Friday…..I’d have bought more b/c I get paid Thursday, haha.
Fingers crossed for you!!
I ordered last night and it says “Pending”–does this mean it went through?
A lot of times my MAC order will say pending for awhile – sometimes I get the package before it changes!
Congrats on being the first to sell out! Still hoping I can snag it somewhere. =]
Bummer, says Jealousy Wakes is sold out. I really wanted that lovely green. I did get Hocus Pocus and Sonoran Rain. Sigh.
I purchased my Jealousy Wakes earlier today–so excited!
Isn’t it possible that Jealousy Wakes will be restocked later? I often see items in collections marked SOLD OUT on MAC’s website become available again some days/weeks later since they are so popular. So hopefully anyone that missed out will still be able to grab one later!
Congratulations, Christine!
It’s definitely possible! We can only hope!
I did call their customer service, and they said they wouldn’t restock it. Sadness. >’: (And yes, they’ve been getting A TON of calls asking if Jealousy Wakes would be restocked)
I’m hoping that they’ll find a backdoor way to bring a few of these back or do one of those extended semi-permanent additions to the permanent line. They don’t really have anything like JW and so they could order more to see how long the hype will roll on. Then again, this is MAC – the equivalent of a bad boyfriend.
I went on the web to order jealously wakes and it wouldn’t let me put it in my cart. So I called mac online and they said it was sold out already. I’m extremely sad cause you’re my favorite blogger and really wanted to get that eye shadow to support you, and because it was so pretty. On a better note, I’m so happy for you and your success. Your shade did so well. Do you know if its coming out in the mac store, macys, or any other place? I still have some hope, that I’ll get it somehow.
It’s just online but sometimes they find more stock and the shade will get restocked, so I’m crossing my fingers!
Thank you!
Congratulations! I see a possible job in this for you! Is that something you would pursue?
Maybe here and there, but I’m pretty sure I’d much rather be beauty blogging, so if it was a conflict of interest, I could very easily say no!
Gorgeous color. you inspire me!
It’s on eBay selling for $24 a pop already!
OUCH!! JW is GONE!! Christine, tell them to make a million more PLEASE!!!!!
I hope they get more stock here in Canada. I played the refreshing game, and then when I checked the MAC site, it was already sold out. Congrats on a winner Christine!
I am so bummed I didn’t get it I was so looking foward to getting it but the website was acting up :’-( Christine you should tell them to make it part of their permanent line its such a gorgeous color!!!!
Noooo!!!!! I finally got home and ran straight to my computer to find JW is sold out! 🙁 I’m kicking myself right now for not checking more often at work! Every time I checked it still said coming soon.
Fingers crossed they restock! You did such an amazing job Christine! I want to see the color in person!
So loving Jealousy Wakes Christine! Congrats! I had been on the site all day hitting refresh until it finally came up to place in the bag! Can’t wait until it arrives! So many looks to do! 🙂
congrats on selling out! i bought it! it’s so perfect!
BOO! I’m so bummed it sold out while I was at work. I hope they bring out more. I wanted to buy a few backups of JW!
I’m really sad that Jealousy Wakes sold out… I’m in GMT+7 timezone and was going to order with my fiance’s infos. I stayed up late despite being scheduled for a long flight the next day, refreshed the page every ten minutes way even way after their 6 AM EST estimate, finally went to bed around midnight my time, and got up at 6 AM my time to see Jealousy Wakes being sold out… *tears*
I’m so upset! I woke up at 6:30am and tried every 30min to get jealously wakes until 10 when I left for vacation. It was never able to be bought and then I just finally was able to add things to my cart and its Sold Out! I’m so upset…any chance the are making more or know if I can buy one anywhere else? Major sad face 🙁
🙁 I missed it I had summer school all day and come home and it’s sold out
Hocus Pocus is sold out on the Canadian website now too! I’m glad I snatched it up when I had the chance but I wish I’d been able to get Jealousy Wakes. I just wasn’t quite quick enough!
Jealousy Wakes Sold out :(((
I am SO bummed that Jealousy Wakes is sold out!!! I think my heart just broke a little. 🙁 I wish you could get it at Nordstrom!
This sucks. My internet connection went kerblooey for most of today, so I missed out on Jealousy Wakes! I did get Evolution Revolution and a few other items, but I was really looking forward to JW. 🙁
Congratulations Christine on your eyeshadow selling out!!! As a huge fan of yours for 2 years now, I feel blessed to have been able to purchase jealousy wakes! Hope Mac asks you to help them create more products. Cheers to you and all of your hard work!
Now Hocus Pocus is also showing as “sold out” on the Canadian site. I’m glad I didn’t wait but I am still so ticked about missing out on Jealousy Wakes. Christine, did they ever tell you at MAC how many of each eye shadow they would be making? I’m going to be really curious to see if they follow up on the success by doing another “run”.
Nope, they didn’t – I asked a few times, but they wouldn’t say! 🙁
The woman on the phone (for Canada) told me “hundreds”. I sat at my desk with my jaw agape. No wonder they sold out so fast… I’d expect at LEAST a couple thousand.
It definitely seems like Canada was under stocked – it took several hours for it to sell out on the U.S. site, but Canada was nearly sold out just from the 1.5 hours it was up last night since it was only live for about 15 minutes or less today.
i was wondering what color of lipglass did you submit to mac? You did a wonderful job with jealousy wakes and i’m pretty sure you did a good job as well with the lipglass. sorry for asking but i was just curious…. thanks
It was a red lipgloss! 🙂 It wasn’t that special – I was thinking like ruby red slippers!
I just chatted with an agent online and it looks like Jealousy Wakes will not be restocked on either US or Canada. I am sad :o(
What a foolish move on their part! How often does a product sell out within a few hours online? I would think when you have a really “hot commodity”, you would make MORE of it! But MAC does seem to like keeping customers disappointment level high with “LE” products.
Congratulations Christine! I was able to order Jealousy Wakes and a few others! I visit your site daily and this is my first time commenting =) I’m so excited to receive my order but even more excited for you! Thank you for this awesome beauty blog!
Thank you, Crystal! 🙂
I ordered the entire collection. I was super excited becasue I called to place an order and it was not available. Then I received an email and immediately placed my order. Can’t wait to receive my package.
Jealousy Wakes is sold out. 🙁 Sad now.
Actually it’s the only item in the collection that shows sold out. I’m still sad, but you should be so proud of the fact that you created such a beautiful color that it sold out on the very first day, and as of now it’s the only one to have sold out. Congrats! It’s really a spectacular color! Maybe I’ll be able to find one on ebay for a ridiculous amount.
I am desperately hoping that they’ll get more Jealousy Wakes in. I have been traveling all day and haven’t been able to go online until now. I am sad!! Jealousy Wakes is one of the most unique and beautiful greens I’ve ever seen 🙁
when i read that “jealousy wakes” was sold out, i ran to my MAC and bought Surf USA (which i thought seemed the closest shade and equally as beautiful)… congrats, christine, on making a great shade! it’s evident that everyone loves it.
Man, your eyeshadow is sold out already, but I managed to purchase Evolution Revolution lg and sparkle, neely, sparkle es for my mom. I was about to not spending anything after my birthday haul, but because this collection is out this week and the free shipping code, I have make an exception and purchase right away before everything sold out and regret it. Still wish I have your es Christine :\ Back to not spending…
Will these be available to purchase at a MAC store, particularily in Canada? 🙂
Just online! 🙁
Christine, how many were you able to get your hands on??
I only got 2 from the site!
I was at work when the stuff came back up, and by then, I didn’t even want anything anymore. I just wasn’t willing to spend my ENTIRE day checking the website for one damn eyeshadow that I can dupe with a myriad of products that I already own. Finally I just thought, “Jesus, what the hell am I doing? I have a life. I’m getting offline and going to go see what’s happening in the 3-dimensional world.”
Sorry, Christine! I really wanted to get Jealousy Wakes for the simplen fact that it was yours, but since it was the first sold out, I see no point in getting anything else. Congrats to everyone who got theirs, though!
LOL! AMEN! The color is really pretty but goodness, taking the day off work, running on no sleep… Apparently i dont like makeup as much as i thought!
Wow Canadians really love you!!! not very many things get sold out this fast!!:D Congrats Christine!
Congrats on being the first eyeshadow shade to sell out. Love your site. It is the go to place for all things beauty. Well done and here’s hoping MAC invites you back.
My husband tells me I stay up too late. Well this was an excellent excuse! I ended up calling the MAC cust serv and got an *awesome* rep who filled the order (site was on the fritz) and waived shipping for my “trouble”. In anticipation of this release I used a personal day from work. I did not want any foul ups!
Wow, I’m so glad I got my order in before Jealousy Wakes sold out. I’m so excited to get it. Thanks for all you do, Christine, it must be a great feeling to know how successful the shade is.
i also was able to order this earlier today, i wanted to try the shade but more importantly support christine. congrats i cant wait to try this.
Sadly, I was not able to grab one. I was so mad at my friend who’s in Canada (I’m from Asia), she was not able to get this lovely e/s for me. I’ve been lemming for this collection since I saw your post. Even the US site has no more stocks. Will it ever restock? It was like gone after a few hours or so. This is really the end of the world for me.:(
I know it sucks to pay higher prices, but people are selling it on ebay already
Jealousy Wakes is ALREADY sold out!! My budget is tight this time around so I couldn’t get this. :{
I ordered Jealousy Wakes, Parisian Sky, and Evolution Revolution earlier today! So excited to try them out 🙂 MAC is super stupid for not producing more of Jealousy Wakes…you’d figure they would assume it would be popular due to the blog and due to the fact everything that gets really good reviews here goes quickly…
This is only my second post here, Christine. Just wanted to say I was lucky enough to get my hands on JW and a few other items in the collection before JW sold out today. And… I really admire how humble you have been throughout this entire process. I also admire the integrity you bring to your blog. I feel it is because of this integrity that TONS of beauty lovers out there listen and have come to respect your opinion as I do. You have turned a passionate idea you had into something tangible and real… CONGRATS!!!
I don’t have any other green shadows except for the 2 shadows in the UD BOS III. I know I will enjoy using my JW 🙂 Wishing you many more years of great beauty blogging…
Aww, thank you so very much!! 🙂
OMG! Congrats! I have been following your blog for quite sometime and you give the best advice!
I hardly wear anything outside of the gold/pink/nudes colors for my eyes but, I HAD to purchase your eyeshadow and Hocus Pocus!
CANNOT WAIT! 🙂
I am so sad I wasn’t able to get Jealousy Wakes before it sold out. When I received the email notification, I called MAC right away because I was at work and the rep told me she couldn’t place my order yet and to check back shortly. Needless to say, I got busy at work. I tried checking on my phone and that didn’t work. When I got home, it was too late 🙁
Got mine this afternoon around 1:30 CST. Purchased all of the shadows and 3 of the 5 glosses that suit my skin tone AND used your free shipping code. Thanks Christine!! Hopefully with the success of this launch, MAC will do this again.
Congrats on the beautiful products. I knew you would rock an amazing colour. Jealousy Wakes looks a lot like Siahi Fluidline from the Mickey Contractor collection. I love it.
Siahi was blue….
Check out the Mickey Contractor review that Temptalia did on YouTube
i had to call the 800 number to place my order coz our computer was being monitored at work. when i called, at first the operator said to call back again coz she was having technical difficulties and that their system was down. i pleaded and said that i was up since 12am and have been trying to get jealousy wakes but it was already sold out (i called at 1pm). i guess she felt sorry for me and she said she will see what she can do. after 30 seconds she got my order. after 15 mins i received my confirmation order through my email=) i guess you guys just have to plead=)
This is why I am not a fan of MAC….not because of its products, but because MAC creates these insane shopping sprees to promote the business. How many Jealousy Wakes did MAC made? 100? When you know there are buyers who cannot buy in such a small window of time, it is so unfair to manufacture so little. I noticed that this is not the first time occurence. I just was lucky to get it yesterday because I was bored and because I wanted to support Christine’s beautiful product. Some people are on a budget and buy not to be left out, but MAC makes it so more special with these limited availability when in reality some of these products are just repackaged to look new (not referring to the blogger’s obsession).
Yes this is not supposed to be so stressful right? Aren’t cosmetics meant to be an escape from pressure and be fun? I hate that the anxiety level is so high for so many loyal customers spending their hard earned money in this economy but mug worse are those creatures on EBay who will never see a cotton pickin cent from me. They are just the worst kind, making money off of people under duress, gladly taking advantage of those who don’t have time to be at the counter or website the moment a collection launches. A plague and a pox upon your house and all that..
Thank goodness Christine mixed those two MAC colors together whatever those two colors are to have something that looks like Jealousy Wakes. In my opinion it is really unfair MAC manufacture so little of JW while many are left out to purchase. MAC forgets it is makeup…not a Rolls Royce. I did get the color by the way so my gripe is not because I did not get it
Ugh…this has been my worst online shopping exp with mac. 20th eve i ordered, paid then did not get a confirmation. Called up, and apparently due to system probs my order was cancelled. Then next morning no luck – ‘coming soon’ was all i saw and i constantly refreshed the page since 6.30 EST. Then after many hours of sipping pepto – i took a break. When i logged back on i was super excited to see it, put 2 in my cart but by the time i went to pay up it was sold out. uuuuugggghhhhh. MAC really dropped the ball on this – they seriously underestimated the readers u have – i ended up ordering 3 l/gs. Shall wait another 24hrs to see if MAC restocks…if not i’m off to ebay.
They should have a straight up Temptalia collection since JW sold out so fast!
Heehee, first to sell out(:
I got my Jealousy Wakes & Evolution Revolution! I ordered as soon as I saw your tweet! Congratulations, and thank you for creating such an awesome shade!!
I ordered yesterday and got my confirmation this morning! I’m so excited to get this, it will be my first single MAC es. Congrats on selling out first, Christine! You should go work for MAC!
This bites. I totally wanted Jealousy Wakes! They’d better repromote it!
Awww…. I hope they restock Jealousy Wakes. I wasn’t able to get mine yeterday 🙁
Woo hoo!
YOUR ORDER FROM M·A·C COSMETICS ONLINE HAS SHIPPED
Caqui 1
Hocus Pocus 1
Jealousy Wakes 1
I was a little worried after people were claiming that they talked to reps who said those of us who ordered on the soft launch weren’t going to get the items, but yay!
The site crashed 3 times yesterday. Even if it was in your cart by the time you went to pay it would say your cart was empty.
I understand how many of you feel. Unfortunately, limited edition items selling out quickly is part of the MAC world. Is it disappointing? VERY, however, it is possible to achieve a somewhat similar color by layering different pigments/shadows. Have fun with your own makeup collection and try to create a dupe. Even better, create your own unique shade! 🙂 It’s quite fun mixing and matching colors.
I remember last year how disappointed I was when I went to purchase Marine Life and it was gone.
Christine, do you know how many units of each product MAC manufactured for Bloggers’ Obsession?
Nope, MAC would not tell us what quantities they were making!
Just got an email confirmation from MAC that it was shipped!
I can’t wait to get them, 2 Jealousy Wakes and 1 Hocus Pocus!!! Yeah!!!
So happy!!!
By the way, Thank you Christine for such a unique creation and the free shipping code! It worked fine! Thank you!
By the way, what happened to my previous post? 🙂
Yay, thank you!!
I just got on and tried to order it, but it’s now sold out! Sigh, I guess I’ll just be jealous…
as i expected, jealousy wakes was the first item of this collection to sell out, and it’s still the only product that has sold out so far.
mine will arrive in the mail sometime on friday, and i’m so excited to have my hands on it. so beautiful. so beautiful i couldn’t actually justify not having it. so glad i didn’t wait. thanks christine for creating this GORGEOUS shade.
ugh i’m so sad i waited…I went to go finally purchase items from the collection and Jealousy Wakes was sold out 🙁
Congratulations on this Christine! Yours is the only shade that has been sold out!! You really did an awesome job on it! 🙂
Got my order today! Christine, you are right, it is such a true emerald green and it is gorgeous! Well done!
Thanks, Danielle!
SO Excited! My order has been delivered to my house! I am SO going to rock my JW tomorrow! I cannot wait! I wish I could leave work early…..
I can’t wait to get mine tomorrow! Glad I snagged it before it sold out 🙂 I looked it up on ebay out of curiosity, one of the sales started at 99c and is now up to $58! Insanity!
Congrats Christine, you created a (fantastic) monster!! (And I mean that in a good way!!) 🙂
Oh my goodness!!! on ebay one even posted $120 for jealousy wakes!! that’s smart extortion right there!! but to be honest i’m sure it’s worth that much coz it is soooo pretty!!!! can’t wait to get mine on tuesday!=)
No way! LOL! Don’t let eBay scalpers win!
ew, people stole your photos on some of the ebay posts!
I can´t belive I didn´t make it on time to buy JEALOUSY WAKES, it sold out super fast!!! now I can only get it on Amazon, it´s worth 2ble and your shade is the most expensive of the 4!!! but it´s worth!!!! Once again, congrats!!! :O)
