[purplemaren]

So who is going to a preview partaaaaay?

Me! I'm going to the one in dallas at northpark mall on feb 5th sooooooo excited.

 

[purplemaren]

:lmao: I've got far too much ink to let fade if i tan, so I'm a jellyfish for life!

Me too! I'm always paranoid about my tattoos getting too much sun

Am I the only one who foresees only getting a few things from this collection? So for the only thing that has caught my eye is Boyfriend Stealer and Betty Bright lipsticks...

Yup. I'd need an entire bottle of sunscreen each time to cover all of mine. It's cheaper (not to mention healthier) just to avoid the sun altogether!

Still no color story...

I'm not commuted to much yet. Ronnie Red, Sweet Something, are catching my eye. Both Veronica pigments and hopefully Betty's eye palette. Veronica's blush looks pretty, her palette looks good, but I have some great purples already, so it's hard to decide on that.

I love the look of both Daddy's Little Girl and Girl Next Door!!
Does anyone know the finishes of these yet!?

I'm starting to get overwhelmed with the pieced together info. I can't keep it all together. LOL

Cool, that's nice of you to find out. So what is the official release date for normal stores. I read up thread the 14th but someone said that pro on the 5 which would make it the 12th. MAC needs to release the color story and date of the collection already.

I know the store by me (not a Pro store, but a freestanding MAC store) is having their event Feb. 7th, 8th, and 9th, so I guess they're releasing it Feb. 7th. Maybe it's Feb. 7th in stores and Feb. 14th at counters? Guess we'll know the deal once all the MAC artists go to update next week.

Still only have my eye on 2 or 3 lippies from this collection. We'll see what else catches my eye as info/pics/swatches are released!

the counter at my local macys also said this launches on vday and they are taking appointments for the 15th, 16th and 17th. But the local MAC store i go to is having their event on the 5th, which means it could possibly launce in stores on the 7th? or maybe online on the 7th and stores on the 14th?

I'm not sure when the "official" release date is, but it sounds like every store will be different depending on when their event it. I talked to someone at the Nordies nearest to me and she said that as soon as she gets the colour story she will let me know and that I'm signed up for their Friday event on the 8th, which sounds like the earliest date that their counter will be releasing it.

Make sure you confirm the actual release date. There have been instances some stores/counters have held events after a collection has already been released. My Macy's did this when MAC Marilyn came out, which I thought was ridiculous since they were pretty much sold out of everything before the event even took place.

Yup! :nods:

 

[Mac-Guy]

I'll probably skip the event in order to avoid the crowds.

 

[Judy Blue]

oooohhh :O I want Girl Next Door, Betty Bright, Daddy's little girl and boyfriend stealer for sureeeee! so excited for this

The one on the right in the top row looks very similar to Oh, Oh, Oh which launched with Mac me over two years back, so pretty! Anyway I'm glad I could find the oh oh oh one, I'm sure these lipsticks are more expensive just for the cute package :/

My sister has tattoos pretty much all over her body and each year she tans like no other person i Know. Always puts sun tan lotion to make sure she gets nice and toasty (yikes). But her tattoos don't look like they are even fading at all

That is so lame! I will call her and double check. Thanks! I also plan to do some online stalking too. I want make sure I don't miss a thing.

There are usually different types of events. Preview parties are before the official launch allowing invitees to purchase before it hits the stores. Make over events are typically scheduled the weekend(s) after the launch. That's why there are different dates. HTH

I hate crowds

I'm guessing the 7th is the pre-launch, and the 14th is the official launch. Just like i presumed a couple weeks ago

I embrace my Jellyfish-ness too :drinks:
