did they mention an online release like they did for Taste?

What do you all think of 275 and the 168 brush?
I like the 275 for a one colour smoky eye. I'll put the colour on the long side of the brush, and press the bristles against my eye, and sweep the colour on. Then, I flip it on it's side, with the long bristles in my crease, and the shorter side above the crease, and go back and forth to blend.

That being said, that's pretty much the only thing I use the 275 for.

same here. i like the brush, but if i had to choose one brush to buy between the 168 and 275, i'd probably end up choosing 168 since it seems a little more flexible!

The good news is that you don't have to wait until the collection release as you can get both brushes right now. I also want to add that the 275 works great for placing e/s in the crease, especially the outer area. It's a good brush if you want to do more intricate work, though it is big enough to work on larger areas.

I have yet to use any 275 brush that I have had possession of (mostly in gift sets) I always say I am going to use one and I don't. I do however have a 272 and I should prob be more eager to use the 275 than that one bc I really can't stand to clean the white hair brushes lol

Wait.. WHAT? Nordstrom is not having this collection?? You mean.. I have to wait until it reaches MAC stores in my country, make calls after calls to know when exactly (with no exact answer & they don't take pre orders or even accept to reserve items for me by phone if I will call them when it's out & ask them to reserve till I go), then pay around $25 for each Party Parrot & Pink Peogeon? Nooooo :'( Why Why Why!!

When I asked at Nordies, they didn't know about this collection.

Maybe a regular Nordies customer has more insights...

The stalking continues. If everyone could only order 1 lipstick from this collection what would it be? I love my brights but have a bunch lol. I'm leaning towards SW since I missed out on SI from TT but was just curious and well it's fun to see what others are after.
