I asked the MAC stores in Old Town Pasadena and Brea mall, but neither one are taking pre-orders.

From my knowledge, only freestanding stores will be launching this collection, can anyone confirm? A SA said they'll be selling some in the freestanding stores and some in Nordstrom.

Yep! The MAC store is in another city and they charge shipping. I don't feel like stalking the site so paying shipping is ok with me.
I once did an out-of-state order and I did not pay or shipping. The order was over $50 so they I'd an override for free shipping. They would have charged me but I questioned it.

I didn't question them. I'll call when it is closer to the release date and ask about the shipping.

Oh the joys of the typical MAC release chaos. :)

I'll be home in Houston when this collection comes out so I decided to start calling around to see if I could preorder. Apparently it is a MAC store collection only with a few select retailers (I guess hand picked non MAC stores) anyhoo no one would let me preorder so I'm debating calling my trusted Florida store and having them ship it to me if the collection doesn't show up online first.

Really wow I need to find a mac that peorders lol.
The one down side to preordering for me is that it doesn't get shipped to me until the same day that it's released to the public. A collection generally launches online before that so I end up waiting and listening to everyone else singing the praises of their new products. I just need to sit still & be patient but that just doesn't happen! The plus side to that is I can change my order if folks here on Spectra think a product is lousy or great...and trust me, I look for those opinions, :encore:

Definitely want Firm Form lipstick after seeing this, I love black & gold!
It's such a unique color hopefully I can pull it off



Firm Form is in the middle, wondering what the other two lipsticks
are? & I see the packaging is regular normal MAC packaging which
means I can probably use my Back to MAC to get it! yay!

Same! Quick Sizzle is my JAM. I find it a lot more flattering and preferable to CYY on me. I am anxious to see some swatches already! I hope it really is not just online/MAC store so I can preorder at Nordies instead. I've given up on the MAC store because the staff will usually just ignore me. If only they realized how much $$ I drop online for MAC.

Try the Pro Store at South Coast, they've taken my pre-order there before. I'd love to go in do one right now, but you know, rent.

Since Strength and AC are releasing the same day (right?), I'm hoping they'll have both displays in the back? I want to see swatches of everything so bad!

So, I'm confused. This comes out 12/26? There seems to be sparse info about it and it has some stuff I'm really interested in.
