Has anyonel else here been told by their MAC freestanding store that this won't release until Jan 3rd? Looks like most people who've gone to stores have been able to purchase. I've called mine twice and been told not 'til. 1/3 both times! Arrrgh.

From all the different answers I thought Mac counters wouldn't be getting this collection. I called my Macy's Mac yesterday and they says not until 1/3. Wanted to double check so went into the counter and asked my go to MUA, she pulled out the book and double checked and also said 1/3. This collection is so confusing?

Honestly, I wouldn't put my trust into any MAC counters getting this collection. It's available now at MAC PRO stores and freestanding stores, so I would focus on getting my products from those locations.

@rbeezie you don't have to drive that far. It's easier to call a MAC freestanding store in any state and they will deliver it to you. Only difference between ordering on maccosmetics.com and phoning in your order is $7 shipping fee which is less expensive than the long drive. Happy hauling! :peace: :D

Not sure if this helps anyone. My photo is not color accurate. My camera phone didn't pick up the red tones in the lipsticks properly, but you can still see the differences between them.

Even between team members. I did a B2M today for SW and the cashier told me I couldn't. I told her yes the freak I can unless its in special packaging. I got it in the end but its annoying when everyone is not informed of the policies

It helps to know what the policies are when you go. You knew and were able to stand up for yourself.

They are all so vibrant--even still you can see the subtle differences between them...which justifies having them all.

Seeing all these posts makes me want to go spend all my $$ on all these beautiful lippies!!! I don't have a store nearby... Closest MAC store is in Tyson's Corner(near DC).... 1.5 hours away. MAC has one hell of a marketing strategy cuz I'm actually considering making that drive today. Smh. And reading about all of your purchases doesn't make it ANY easier. Ughhhhh!

I've ordered out of state and when they mentioned the $7 shipping fee I said, "But I'm spending more than $50," and they waived the $7 fee. I would have paid it had they told me otherwise, but it doesn't hurt to inquire! I order from a MAC store that's 20 minutes from my home and they ALWAYS give me free shipping. I hope you're able to get what you want!

I rest my case---there are the stages of death & dying and 'the stages of CC hauling'! I've watched you and I think I've even cracked your algorithm--wink wink.

If you've cracked the code, then please let me know what it is. I just chalk it up to a combination of indecisiveness and poor impulse control.

I need to cut back in 2013. While getting together the swatches of Pink Pigeon, I've come to the realization that I may have too many lipsticks. The case where I keep my MAC, NARS and Revlon lipsticks is overflowing. I need to find something else to keep them in now.




Maybe I spoke too soon. It doesn't seem like too many in the photo.
