OctoberViolet! I'm glad you were able to haul this collection without having to stalk the website tonight on your special day.

Funny how I signed up to be notified when the holiday collection was released both via txt and email and I have received anything! Lol. Not surprised. Thanks to Specktra, I haven't missed a beat. Do you folks think collections will now be released for both pro and non pro members at the same time?

Omg I totally forgot that I had signed up to be notified as well, haha! I figured it couldn't hurt anything to sign up for the alert, even though I was sure it would come late. I'll have to post on here when I get that text notification so we can all have a good laugh at MAC's silliness

For NC10 ladies, do you think small vanity is too dark? I really need to start building my neutral blushes! Anyone getting the travel hanging bag? I have it in my cart but still trying to decide! Do i really NEED it. lol I currently have a Vera Wang one but its cloth and gets dirty easy. I have a victoria secret one but it doesnt hang. hmm..

I never get text messages even though I signed up for them. I did get an email about the collection at 6:05pm EST.

My order finally ended up being Beauty, Innocence, Deliciously Demure, Talk Softly to Me(for my daughters stocking), A Natural Flirt and Around Midnight. I also got 1 each of the eye shadow palettes. '2 of the palettes will be used as gifts. I just think they are so cute!

I'm not sure if you "need" the travel bag, but I think it's nice and will use it. I posted about it here.

I didn't even get an email. I'll probably get one in a day or two.

The descriptions are very different.

For fun, I live chatted with a MAC rep to see if they could tell me what was used on the model for the promo image. I was told that regrettably, face charts are not always available. I mentioned that I loved the makeup look and would like to recreate it using products from the new collection and she told me that a MUA at a MAC store could possibly help me choose products. Wait, what?

I don't understand why she couldn't help me out directly, haha!

Edited to add:

I was not satisfied by the lack of an answer, so I spoke to someone else and I was given a list similar to adoreabelle:

On the lips: Prep + Prime Lip base, In Synch Lip Pencil, Beauty Lipstick, and Pink Fade Lipglass.
On the cheeks: I'm The one Powder Blush.
Eye: Ready To Party eye shadow on the lower lid, Stolen Moment and Tall, Dark and Handsome Eye Shadows through the crease, Yogurt eye Shadow on the brow bone. Boot Black Liquid Liner with Endlessly Black Extended Play Lash Mascara on the eye lashes.

Anyone else having problems with posting? It's not allowing me to reply or quote or even submit without previewing. hmm

Placed my order and tried to be reasonable since there is so much more coming out in the next few months and I just got 2 Marilyn BP backups!

Got WOG and Superb since I missed them both before and Ready to Party. Hopefully I can stay strong once I start seeing everyone's haul!

Yes, and that was well after it had launched!!!

 

[caribprincess]

LOL, you're probably right but...I already ordered a BU, plus one of Outrageously Fun. I also ordered Small Vanity after looking at swatches from this thread. I've already worn through one Glorify and halfway through Superb from the previous launch, so I don't want to take any chances.

I hear ya cuz initially I was going to get one WOG but then my BFF said " what if you finish it?" ......decisions

 

[ForeverJenn]

Which shipping method did you use, if you don't mind me asking?

Same here cartoon chic I got an email at exactly 6:05 pm

 

[Medgal07]

$15 is too much for me, so I just stick with good ol' free standard shipping even if it takes forever to get it. But I've been switching to picking up my items in store when it's available.

DITTO. That's the cost of another item!!

To be honest the more I hear about the other upcoming collections the less I'm interested in GD, it's starting to seem that all I want is the 2MSF and mayyyybe 2 lipsticks
