Mine tooI believe on December 26th, but I am praying it will be online much earlier. I would love to have my makeup in time for Christmas. Maybe it will be online around the 19th of December instead. Fingers crossed.

It'll probably be online a week before, so yeah, the 19th sounds about right.Do you ladies know when this is suppose to hit the MAC website? I have been calling my closest local MAC for days to preorder. No one EVER answers the phone.

Does anyone know when Strength will be out in the UK? I'm in London from dec 31st to jan 4th, so maybe I can check it out there. I have the same question for Apres Chic actually.

Apparently not since a lot of counters have said they'll be getting it January 3rd.
Have fun checking everything out! Can't wait for your Apres Chic review, so I hope that's the other one.

My #1 thing to check in Apres Chic will be the moisturizing power of those Mineralize lip balms. If they're as good as the old Clarins I used to use, I'll be loading up!
Anything in particular you'd want to know about any of the collections? I'll make sure to check.

Well, I'm mainly interested in the MES and MBs. So I'd like to know about the pigmentation of the MBs and color descriptions of how the MES swatch. And isn't there a new eye brush? I'd love to know what you think of it if you have the time to check that one out, too.

I'll make time!
Anyone else want to know anything specific, just post here.....I'm doubting I can get a decent photo of anything, but other than that, I can certainly bring in some similar products to see if there are any dupes (if I have 'em).

Well, as i posted in another board here on Specktra, the SA at my local MAC who really enables helps me, just called and told me the shop has Après Chic and Strength in for testing in the back room... and i'm still out of town. She said they got 20 of some items, but only 6 of others (i don't know which or from which collections) and she's expecting many things to sell out FASSST!
She was kind enough to hold things for me - i'll be home this weekend to pick them up.
From this collection i am for sure getting Firm Form lipstick and Taupe Shape blush. Just in case i love them too, I also asked her to hold Strong Woman lipstick (have to see how close it is to Seductive Intent - and if it's too fuchsia, it's a pass) and Poised blush (if it's similar to Pink Cult & Pink Tea, i may pass). But i don't want to miss my chance and find they're all sold out in pre-sales.
Other than the 2 for-sures and the 2 maybes, that's it for me out of the 18 items in this collection.

I wasn't a big Amy Winehouse fan until i heard her singing a duet with Tony Bennett. He's not my favorite old jazz crooner, but he's got chops for such an old guy. And she was absolutely amazing - she really had fantastic jazz styling. Such a waste of potential. Sorry she was so unhappy.

From what I understand, some are getting it and others aren't. It'd be best for you to call and ask.
