Can someone give me some advice? I am going to the store to swatch and buy from this collection tomorrow. I also have an appointment at my MAC store in Macys to get my face done with this collection Friday evening. I'm afraid of everything selling out if I wait to buy on Friday. Should I buy what I want beforehand and get back ups on Friday? Does MAC hold back some items so people can buy at these events?

I have never been to one of these events so could someone tell me what happens - do you go with a bare face, do you have to tip them, is there a minimum purchase required?
Most stores do not hold inventory for events. I wish they did. BUY tomorrow what you want, then backup at the event. Have fun and good luck grabbing your pretties.

Minimum purchase is usually $50. You can go bare faced or with foundation and moisturizer either or. Just tell them when you get there that you already have foundation and moisturizer on. Do that if you are happy with your foundation/concealer/moisturizer routine now. Then they will spend more time on the blushes, bronzer, es from the collection or whatever you want them to try on you. If you are looking for a foundation, go bare faced and they will try one on you and do 100% of your face. Ask them to use things you are the most interested in and curious about. Do not be shy, they want you to like and buy what they try so ask for what you know you might like. I hope this helps.

Usually it's free as long as you spend $50. I have never tipped. I would say if there is something you know you want get it now otherwise you can wait. I have went bare faced because if not you have to use a mac wipe and those leave a kind of sticky film on the skin and its not hydrated... I have dry skin though.

Well filp flarn filth flip. I am so jealous. My Belk order is still in process for AS, SW, FD, and a second one for EO. Why the Hell not, I got everything else but Delphic, and RG. Please, pretty pleast let these actually ship from there. My Nordies for another PMP and a SW for kiddo will be here tomorrow, Macy's with another eye brush, WD backup, and Red Baloon BU will be here Friday. MY Kittenish PP did get here today from Bloomies with HELLA good samples and I felt ok enough to go to the closest town with a BBW. CANDLESSSS!!!! Love the new frosted looking ones and I got Starbucks. Maybe that is why I feel better...

Bloomies makes me want the Tory Burch and Juicy Couture Malibu perfumes now too. Gaaa, It never ends.

Well ladies, it is official I am in love with EO. Took a nap, it got worn during naptime. About to do laundry in a sports bra and shorts, I will also be wearing my EO. NO SHAME LADIES!

I don't want to cause any panicking but my regular MAC store (not nordstrom, macy's, etc.) did in fact release the collection a day early. I called earlier to put a couple of things on hold and I just got back from picking it up. Things are already sold out.

I feel bad for the people who will be there early tomorrow

Oh crap, that is what scared me. I was not about to drive 2 hours for nothing. Thank you for the update.

I have shelves, not closets full. Still I buy more when there are new scents but I prefer woody scents or food. My favorites are Fireside, Marshamallow Fireside, Cranberry Woods, Sea Spray, and Summer Boardwalk (OMG it smells like popcorn). I died with Endless Weekend and the Ocean Driftwood today though. Sooo pretty and smelled so good. We were talking about them and it made me want to go check them out.
Marshmallow fireside is my fave fall/winter smell and Watermelon Lemonade is my spring/summer candle. I can't help but stock upon them.
