Could not add samples to my cart. Reached out to customer service who said to reach out once I had placed my order. Reached out once I had placed my order and they said to reach out again once it had shipped and THEN they would see if they could re-ship samples. I used to be able to add them directly into my cart... This feels like mac is slowly making the process of adding samples more and more frustrating so people just stop trying.
I also heard alone time's shade is changing slightly - getting more shimmer and a warmer tone. No one asked for this. This shade was viral BECAUSE people wanted a cool, simple lipstick and mac decides to change it again. My local store suggested I order because Canada may not have the new shade until Aug 2 so I might get lucky and get the old. People should not have to do research just to buy the makeup they love and enjoy. Stop adding extra shimmer no one asked for! Stop making shades warmer!!!! We have enough warm shades! We know you can work to keep the shade the same, do it please.
And if you absolutely need to reformulate or change a shade, LET US KNOW!!! I realize you don't do this because you'll get backlash, but maybe take that as a hint that people don't want these changes? Your products and specific shades are beloved for a reason and people want the same color they know and love. Let us stock up before things change, instead of constantly stalking influencers' social media, sleuthing for evidence of changes so we can gamble and order our own to stock up. I was about to buy film noir blush and then it was changed to the new formula/line and all the old blushes were simply gone!! Sell them or tell people in advance!!? I would have bought it had I known it was about to change completely but was unaware, now I can't get the product or shade I want. This severely discourages me from buying from Mac as I feel I can't find a favorite product anymore - it will be gone before I can buy another.
