I guess she's back on their pooh list lol
I think it's everyone. They seemed to be sending out samples to the bloggers in advance for the last while (Karen, Beautezine, Christine, etc). I really like when they do that so we can see how the products look. That doesn't seem to have happened this time. It's hard to pick the MSFs without better swatches.

I doubt it since none of the other bloggers have the collection either. MAC is unpredictable when it comes to shelling out samples. It might have something to do with the change of release date for this particular collection.
Yes, I know none of the other bloggers have the collection either. It was more of a joke because of RiRi.

Everywhere just like a normal collection.
Thanks so much :) That's what I thought, but I didn't want to miss out if it wasn't. I ordered Heroine and Hip N Happy liners from Nordstrom online yesterday. I want to see more swatches before purchasing any of the blushes.

I just logged on to the Canadian Website and ALL the MSF and MB still say "coming soon" does this mean they are sold out??


I did try the 'Taboo' free shipping code and it worked ...

without swatches to tempt the bejeebers out of me I am team nothing, nada, zip, zero. Plus I make it a personal thing to not order while still awaiting a pgk from same company. Seeing as I am waiting on my last order for oh a month or so that means no MAC for me.

My husband is happy tho ;-$

Does anyone have any thoughts about whether the 159 would work for applying bronzer? I just bought my first ever bronzer, and have nothing that's ideal to apply it with. In fact, I have only two face brushes: a kabuki brush and the Real Techniques blush brush which I hate. I know a lot of people love it, but it's just too big for my face, and it feels like it doesn't pick up/deposit enough product. Anyway, the result of this (plus my nervousness about bronzer) is that I really, really need a bronzer brush, preferably one that would double up for blush as well. But I'm also really keen on the 159, as everyone who's seen it seems to love it. I can't afford both at the moment, having just bought the bronzer and waiting for TT, so any thoughts would help me make up my mind. If the 159 isn't suitable, what about the 128 or the 188? Thanks, guys.

P.S. I'm massively jealous of all you North American people getting to order this today. I can't wait until Thursday. :)

I blame liba for my getting all the MSF. She just made them sound gorgeous and next level technology. I can't decide which one I will want to use first, but probably Rio.

IME, the best brush for any bronzer depends on how pigmented/strong the color is. Some bronzers are so strong, I want to use a brush with a soft feel with really pliable fibers. Sometimes duo fibre brushes work best for strong bronzers. Other hard or unpigmented bronzers seem to need a kabuki to beat the pigment out of them. Other bronzers are just normal and go on well with a good blush or powder brush.

I haven't tried the 159 but I'd test it in a store with your fave bronzer first. Usually duo-fibre brushes can give a lovely soft airbrushed look, but it's hard to tell whether this is going to work with your particular bronzer. If you need a good workhorse bronzer/blush brush, MAC has a few (I'm not an expert on MAC brushes, but many of these specktra-ites are).
