Oh that sucks! I can imagine tho I honestly hate the crazy hassles we have had lately but I love playing with my toys.It's stressing, indeed..I neither have a mac store where I live (Brazil), nor I can buy online..I have to buy from girls who live in the USA and they send me the products, so I pay like three times more, which turns out very pricey...about 1 or 2 months latter, when the products finally arrive that I open the box..it worth the effort
I'm hearing it's either Oct 18th or Nov 8th
yay!!lol thankful i was able to get my cyy cuz of you!!
I'm not sure if you got an answer before but they are smaller in the book at the mac store they are referred to as "mini" ED shadows and are 19.50 I asked the MA what that meant and she said that they are smaller than the originals by maybe .4 or something of the sort.Do we know for sure why the EDES are going to be smaller in size, yet still the same price? I can't seem to wrap my head around that one...
i hope its the 18th, just got a sample of mufe foundation and i love it, i guess i could wait till nov 8th but the 18th sounds so much better
lolll and I'm super thankful that I was able to get QS from you! I don't think I ever posted a pic wearing it I love it soooo much! It is definitely my fav of all lipsticks I've ever had I am addicted to this color and have been forever I'm looking to get another I got one from Yazmin a bit back but since the one I got from you is more than halfway done I definitely need to get another back up sooner than later.
Thanks again!
I tried to do screenshots of the palette with the blush in it, but it's a little small:
Looks like it also includes a lipglass and some kind of pencil.
So sorry for your loss, lilinah. My prayers are with you…Sorry if this post is redundant, but i got behind reading while out of town at my mom's funeral.
So, i got back in town Weds night. And Thurs. AM did NOT rush to my local MAC where a mob eager for Marilyn was waiting for the store to open. They only let people in 5 at a time because so many were out there. In about 45 min, they were sold out of all the lipsticks, blushes and powders, and most of the eye shadows. I arrived about 1-1/2 hours later and managed to get the LAST one of the only product i wanted, Preferred Blonde e/s.
But i DID get to see half of the beautifully packaged Holiday Collection.
I previously mentioned seeing a snap clutch that had red satiny material inside clear plastic with printed-on leopard spots on the outside and clear plastic with printed-on black lace on the inside. Well, it was red because it had RED lip products inside. Those who felt bad the pink ones weren't pink... well, lift up your spirits, because if the product is pink the satin is pink, too.
I saw all three brush sets, each in a similar leopard case with satin the color of the brushes -- ok, the duo-fibre are in a warm beige. In other words, the colors of the satiny fabric coordinate with what the clutch contains. For the lip sets -- pink, coral/orange, nude, or red -- the satin matches. And they can be used as little purses when the product is removed.
Plus there is a leopard spotted hanging make-up bag that rolls up for travel - i don't recall seeing it mentioned, and i'm coveting it.
THEN i saw the little upholstered poof boxes with the black plastic bows which are absolutely adorable!
The eye shadow combos are glorious! I was not at all interested when i saw the on-line photos. Big shrug. But seeing them in person, oh, how i wanted them all! The color combos are gorgeous! And many of the shadows have beautiful finishes that don't show in photos.
The lip-eye-face sets are beautifully designed. Open the large poofed clutch, and there's room for a few small things, and a hinged heavy black cover over the makeup products so they don't get munged. The inside of the protective cover is a fairly large mirror. Inside is a face powder and several eye shadows. AND the lip products are protected by a little easy-to-lift hinged cover, so the eye shadows won't contaminate them. Then, after you're done, the makeup section can be lifted out and the large clutch can be used as a purse - so keep the satin clean
There's a face set that in the photos has a large square of face powder to the left and a small black square to the right. When i saw it i thought the black square was eye liner or shadow. Nope. It's a MAC-tastic powder puff (for that old-fashioned glamourous way of powdering your nose). That set is in a re-usable clutch like the lip-eye-face set, with the same protective flap with a mirror. Both practical and luxurious.
The lip gloss sets and the pigment sets will be in a second set of releases, so they weren't in the shop. And they are what i REALLY wanted to see. So i'm on tenter hooks until they come in about a month.
I can confirm that each set in an upholstered box is beautiful and well-thought-out, and the packaging is fantastic. The leopard spotted packaging is not quite the same quality, but i think they're cute and practical - and probably a bit less expensive.
The blush looks great! Wow!The whole look is gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing Milegolas!
So sorry for your loss, lilinah. My prayers are with you…
Thank you so much for the product info.
So are we expecting it on October 25th or November 6th in stores? Maybe October 25th is the online release and November 6th is the store release? I just want to be clear because I missed Marilyn entirely (only by a few hours, but I didn't have the time to dedicate to watching for restocks and store stalking). I am not too upset about Marilyn because I wasn't sure what to get anyways since the colors weren't all that unique, but I will be UPSET if I miss this one! Thank you Specktra friends for keeping me informed during this hectic time for me! :bouquet: My work has been requiring 2-3 extra hours per day just to keep up, and I can't seem to keep my head above water right now!
Ah! I wanna know too!Thank you Specktra friends for keeping me informed during this hectic time for me!My work has been requiring 2-3 extra hours per day just to keep up, and I can't seem to keep my head above water right now!
Ooh this sounds like my kind of event. I would love to attend something like this. It is very hard to really play with the products at the events.
