MAC - Holiday 2010 A Tartan Tale Discussion

[GlammySammy]

For those who are wondering what's sold out on-line in Canada, it's just the pigments and Cut a Caper... there may be more or less gone in stores, I'm not sure! I've promised myself not to go back until they launch Ch. 2

Just thought I'd add that around here (in stores) I've found that Cut a Caper, all the pigments, Undercurrent, and the Sir Teddies are either already sold out or they have veryyy limited
amounts left. (This was according to some SA's at my MAC counters)

NOTE: you should never get me started on accents. Never.

I'm not even British but that guy is even worse than Dan Castellaneta when he plays groundskeeper Willie

Btw I googled him and I think we can definitely say Soul Unique was right, he is american: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn6tH7S_1m0

Lol, HerGreyness, my collection is still young, so pigments and such are all very exciting for me!! I'm like a kid in a candy store when I go to MAC at all, regardless of collection releases!

That's how I feel about collections too. Mine is so small and young compared to some other members' here, so I still get very excited with almost every release!

My collection is smaller as well but growing quite nicely. I bought MAC things here and there for quite a while now, mostly piggies. But never gone full blown MAC addict till this year. And never paid attention to collections, so I too get so excited when new ones come out! This is my first holiday collection too!

So....after a lot of thought I decided to keep my PIC palette. I'm still really sad the colors arnt more purple and its so not what I expected, but decided to play with it more. I was first just so upset that the colors are pretty much blackend colors, which I was trying to stray away from, giving I have enough blackend colors for now. Figured I'd just consider it a smokey eye palette

Thanks erine for the swatch comparison! Glamoura Castle is different than Bough Grey...but, I don't think I need both!

I will check into the small sharpener...thanks for the reccomendation

I still want A Wish Come True and Semi-Precious eyeshadows! I successfully (I think so, at the moment) talked myself out of Sly as a Fox np.

Since I seem to be going gaga for pearlglides at the moment, I am thinking about Black Line now! I did get Black Swan. Do I really need both?

Here are some photos of what I got from chapter one of this collection.
I couldn't swatch them, because this is an xmas gift for myself lol.
The pigments were really hard to capture in the jar, and Cut a caper looks a bit lighter in person, but on the skin goes on a light peachy pink sheer.

Items: In order:
1. Sweep me off my feet and define brush set
2. Moonlight Night
3. The Family Crest
4. Cut a caper lipstick
5. 6 Dashing Lassie ES Set
6. Glamora Castle ES
7. Tartan Tale Book

i don't know if you need both, but they're different enough from each other to have both.

Thanks erine for your response! I really needed to hear a response like yours

I thought I would get a response going all-out enabler on me to get Black Line

as I do have Black Swan already. I will try out what pearlglides I do have first...

I think I will just stick with the two eyeshadows I didn't pick up yet and end my first year's MAC collecting extavaganza on a high note and a happy smile on my face

I'm confused too! I called my free-standing store today and they said the pigment/lipgloss sets come out on the 11th. But Temptalia's site says the 4th? No Idea...

So the mini sets aren't up online on the US site yet. Does that mean they do launch the 11th?!?!? I'm so confused!

 

[ButterflyDior77]

MAC Online chat make artist told me it would be up today...Weird. I don't think they know tbh.

I find my Cut a Caper extremely hard to wear - it has a spring- time, retro look to it. What am I missing?

Is it weird that the word retro makes me want to get it more?

That is so weird that everyone has different dates for the chapter 2 launch. But, since it is already pretty late and they usually launch earlier in the day, I'm thinking it will be next week.

 

[ButterflyDior77]

No problem!

They are super gorgeous and cute! I didn't expect the box packaging on the brush set and 6 e/s to be so cute/nicely detailed for a box.
I Will enjoy them thanks!

[ButterflyDior77]

You're welcome!
I know... I must resist buying other things aside from one of the pigment sets...LOL

[peachsuns]

You like retro?

I'm looking forward to another trip to MAC next week!

Or will chapter 2 be launched this week?

Honestly, I go to the MAC counter so often around the collection release. I cannot help it!

I love my MAs

and the testers.
