This collection looks like a mix of permanent and limited edition items. Is everything going to available at the store or will just the permanent items be there?

And why would MAC release a collection to department stores without selling it online first?
The whole collection will be there. In the past, Nordstrom has often released Mac collections before they are released by Mac online---go figure!

I called my local MAC twice today to ask if the collection will be in store tomorrow. The first woman had no idea what I was talking about. I called again four hours later and was told the collection is "online only". I would love to give my local counter my money, but since they don't know what going on, I'll just order online when it drops. Smh.

Thanks, is that The Bay downtown by any chance? I may wander over there at lunch to see the BP in person...
I usually go to the free standing store at Metro, but I also called The Bay at metro and they will have it tomorrow! Strangely enough, the girl asked me if I wanted them to hold items for me. I thought that they didn't do that anymore....anyhoo, downtown should definitely have it!

Thanks! Occasionally I get asked if I want to hold things too... But when I ask to hold, they always say they can't. Go figure!

I feel the same. I just know Toying Around and Toxic Tale will end up looking the same on me so I don't need both but I want both. Even if its only because I hope one day to own the original Toxic Tale packaging and depot my new lippie into it. Talk about MAC addict issues.
I feel like I'm going to regret skipping Toxic Tale... Ugh idk what to do lol MAC addict problems I guess

If it was similar to Toying Around, I wouldn't mind... it suits my skin without looking like highlighter lips. I'm worried it'll pull like Watch Me Simmer which looks awful on me.

Pretty sad when sometimes WE know more than the employees of the company
Strange... she could have been talking about the online release? who knows anymore :haha:
I'm hoping it'll be at my store tomorrow. They open at 7:30 but I get to work around 10, im going to go straight there and hope fire the best. Want to get my hands on TT

I went back to the Playland thread today to re-read @liba's comments on Toying Around and Toxic Tale, as we had a similar conversation then lol! On her lips, the lipsticks are practically identical other than a bit more of a sheen on Toxic Tale due to the formula. I don't know if that helps at all, and I'm having the same dilemma myself, but I don't think TT is much like Watch Me Simmer (or that it is going to pull pink).

That does help. I think I might go ahead and get it.
