**Update**
Yes now launching tomorrow after people wasted hours waiting.
HOCUS POCUS UPDATE 🖤
We will be launching the Disney Hocus Pocus and ColourPop Collection TOMORROW Thursday 10/01 at 10AM pst! Thank you for your patience 🎃!— ColourPop Cosmetics (@ColourPopCo) September 30, 2020
Well, it’s been almost an hour and a half and there still hasn’t been a launch of the highly anticipated ‘Hocus Pocus’ line on ColourPop.
The launch was to take place at 10 AM PST / 1PM EST and as someone who’s been trying to purchase the eyeshadow palette, it has been a mess.
Randomly a few pieces popped up like the eye liners and body glitter, but then the site started asking for a password and then said it was being accessed too many times. Now the few items that were showing up are gone.
Is this showing up for anyone now? pic.twitter.com/OTqDXHrZjv

Are you kidding me????? I’ve been waiting for an hour. Forget Colourpop. I’ll find another Halloween collection from a company that knows how to run a website. pic.twitter.com/sEOf1gxR5f

And now it’s sold out? How? Nobody could buy it. What an absolute joke.

I would assume they’ve cleared everything so they can re-launch them and give everyone a fair chance to grab what they want. I was seeing some of the items and my friend saw none of them…hopefully they have all this straightened out soon, it’s so stressful!

I too have been sitting here since the start and have not been able to get anything.
A lot of people are asking for it to be rescheduled:
Can we just cancel the launch and do it tomorrow so people have a chance at this again? I’ve been waiting for 46 minutes and now have to go back to work and won’t have a chance to get it until later when it will be sold out

I agree they need to reschedule the launch so we all have a chance to get it I have to get back to work and I can’t stay glued to my phone

Relaunch again tomorrow! Not all of us can sit at the screen refreshing every 5 seconds hoping something will start to work. Set up preorder tonight and relaunch it tomorrow.

As expected they are going on eBay.
Not as many as I thought there would be. So looks like bots aren’t scoring either.

I’m hoping we can get through at some point, but I must agree with this tweet:
