Just had a peek at the 'book' at a counter and noticed there'll be a new Asia-only collection called Prep + Prime Enhance. Basically it'll be three new makeup primers:

• Enhance (pink)
• Neutralize (yellow)
• Illuminate (lavender)

They may also be repromoting the SPF 50 primer as well.

It's a small collection, but I'm intrigued. Not sure when this comes out either.

I noticed something new from Prep and prime in the update book when I had a peak as well. I think it might be what you are talking about. Since I saw the book in NY, do you think that means it will be released here as well? I'm not usually as interested in skincare so I only briefly glanced at the page that had the info.

I noticed that the book did say "asia exclusive" on that page, although, as we've seen, some of these items like Charged Waters end up making it over eventually anyways, just later on

it kind of sounds like the smashbox color corrective primers. interesting....please do keep us posted. thanks for the info!

Krase - were you at the Pro Store? I seem to recall them sometimes getting Asia exclusives as well?

Randy,
Yes, it was at the pro store that I saw that update book. Maybe we will see these in the states after all?

Like the Lightful skincare, maybe the Pro stores will get this collection.

The update books in the states will list asian exclusives, even if they don't plan on releasing them here. That been said, the pro store will often get asian exclusives that aren't released throughout the U.S.

Does this mean I can call a pro-store and get the items delivered?

TIA

Sure...if they end up getting it. That's the only variable. But, yeah anything in the store, they will mail.

I have a feeling that these will hit the US market eventually. Smashbox makes a killing on those. They are nice addition to your foundation/face routine if you need them. Their absence is a hole in MAC's product line, so I would like to think that they would eventually fill it. Especially since they DC'd the colour corrector Select Cover-Ups. I would also like to see MAC release a Bronzer Primer like Smashbox has.

So I got to try these out today. The packaging is quite lovely even if you can't see from my blurry camera phone pic. Clear but a bit frosted for the plastic. Lavender, pink, and peach.

However, the pump reminded me of why I don't buy products like glimmershimmers, you just always end up squirting out way too much grrr. On another note, new try-on pacs are available now (not the ones pictured), they come in hard plastic long rectangular casing with a handle.

Very pretty, imo.
