Yeah, me too, I will just order everything as soon as it's up online. Last time I tried to look for a blue Lightscapade, the MUAs thought I was crazy.

I wish I was that strong!
Okay, I did narrow the list (again), this time X ing out all that look like either too much gold (except for one MB), too much glitter, or something similar to products in my stash...since I was able to cut back some mineral products, the lipstuff found its way back on the list LOL
MES: I will have to go swirl hunting
Aurora (gorgeous!), Bright Moon (if not too shimmery), Earthy (if not too gold/bronze), Neo Nebula (my prediction is the first will sell out too), Water (if I can find one with lots of green)
MB: Supernova (only), the rest look either too dark or too glitter bombish
MSF: Light Year, Star Wonder
Galaxy Rose csg, and Fire Sign lipstick
And that's my idea of restraint!

Your list looks similar to mine! I definitely want Light Year and Star Wonder and I'm avoiding too much gold and glitter. I love gold, but only for my eyes. I might pick up Supernova and I'm looking at Fire Sign too. Since I have my Fall wedding and a trip to Disney coming up, I think I'll only be able to haul 3-4 things from this one.

Why? MSFs with lots of veining are the best. I always pray I get the ones with a lot of veining. I will be stalking the site to snag what I want. I can't deal with shopping in stores.

My MAC stores/counter aren't as close as I would like them to be. I would have to travel into Manhattan or go to my local mall - which would require an hour trip via public transportation (no car here) whereas by car it would be 15 mins. I hate crowds and lines so online works out just fine!

I totally agree! It's not too difficult for me to get to a MAC store or another store that sells MAC here in NYC, but I HATE crowds, I also don't like sales people that are a little too eager to assist and rush me or sales people that just ignore me when I need assistance. And let's not forget nasty people that push, shove or reach right through you to grab something you were looking at. I usually end up having high blood pressure and anger issues. I love online shopping. It's easy, convenient and no one bothers me. The only negative about online shopping for me is when my computer crashes or I have trouble getting online. Other than that I love it!!!!

I tend to avoid the MAC counter/store in NYC because it's always so crowded and I can never check out/swatch what I want. You should take the path to Newport mall. It's very close from World Trade Center. The Mall has a MAC counter at Macy's and it's usually not crowded at all. Also, they have a special 3.5% sales tax and a Sephora store! NYC charges 8.875% sales tax! Yikes!!
However, I do like the Sephora store in NYC better because they have a better stock, they get new items quicker, they have a Illamasqua booth and Make Up For Ever's line of brushes and other products that other Sephora stores don't carry.

I get major anxiety in stores. The few times I've been to a MAC store, I've gotten major anxiety and only browsed. I didn't even make a purchase because of all the tourist up in there. Its was crazy. I have had only one negative experience with MAC SAs and the other 3 times they were extremely pleasant.

It usually seems to pop up around Monday/Tuesday afternoon when the launch is on a Thursday... it really all seems to depend on when it goes up for Pro. If it goes up early for Pro, it usually goes up about a week later for the main site.
It also seems like when its a collection with in-store events, that it launches a week or so early. (Shop MAC & Hey Sailor this happened)
so yeah, I will start stalking it probably the Friday before... but I wouldn't expect it to actually be online until the 2nd or 3rd maybe.

Thank you to both for your responses! I have to set up alerts now so I won't forget and miss out. I'm not having much faith in my SA at Nordstrom's remembering to call me or get my order right.

That's how I feel! I'm giddy with excitement and will probably buy everything in this collection! This was the look on The Man's face when I told him it was going to be a huge haul ----->
