The SE makes me extremely wary of the brushes... Especially because it's so hard to find pictures and, to my knowledge, impossible to find reviews on them. From the pics I can find, they look like normal brushes and not the infamous "SE" ones. But to me they larger face ones look too fluffy/floppy to apply much powder and like they would just slather liquid on. I'm kind of intrigued by the 288 but can't imagine it's that different than the 287.. Opinions?
I saw the SE and wondered what it stands for? I don't know a lot about MAC brushes but I have learned from this group that all are not equal.

SE means special edition. I'm curious too how they perform because I can only remember SE brushes from the Anniversary and Holiday kits, which are of lower quality in general.

Yes, me too.

That MAC site is still awful! With all the complaints, it doesn't seem like they changed a thing :(
I have been taking a small break from the LE collections anyway, but I really loathe the new website. It has really discouraged me from purchasing things directly.

Still, I hope they fix it for Holiday, etc.

I had few emails with them, they said it was 'fixed' (meaning the slowness). This collection doesn't have enough high volume to really see

It's really hard to get a good sense of the individual products in each collection. I had to go back and forth to see the Spring Trend palettes.

Probably not enough to nudge MAC to fix it? The G Valli collection sold out so.....

Yes, I agree! The scrolling etc. is terrible to try to view the products. And, you still have to click "shop collection" twice which doesn't make any sense. It's still very slow for me. I tried to remove an item from my cart & it took way to long.

yeah I feel like the eye brush I already have something similar but I'm not sure about the face brushes. I'm actually looking for a good foundation brush and thinking about getting either 187 or 130 but heard a bit that 187 gets streaky with liquid/creamy foundation. or I will wait until the studio waterweight brush comes out although I think it would give much more coverage that I don't want
Can't speak for foundation, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the 130 for cream blushes. I'm debating 1 or 2 more, so I can have a dedicated one for certain colors and not need to fully wash as often. When I use a brush for foundation, I really enjoy the Real Techniques face brush. Bonus? Wallet-friendly.

Full review of lipsticks is up for any interested parties. I'm eying rare breed, but I think I'm going to wait to swatch in person. My Macy's MAC seems to think they will have the collection this week.
Rare Breed is pretty, but I don't think I'm going to get it. I am waiting for fluidline reviews

Go to Allura Beauty on youtube and she has the 2 LE fluidliners swatches. I was only going to pick- up Great Dame and now I NEED both.

OMG I HATE how long it takes to scroll on my iPhone! And not being able to view groupings of lipsticks and eyeshadows by finish, ugh
Oh geesh, I haven't been there on my phone yet. I used to be able to order quite easily on my phone. And they still have those huge billboard pictures.

I may call MAC CS about it again tomorrow.

It has to be a book by now. I got that call from the MAC corporate guy & he acted like he cared about the website being so awful. Yeah right. And he said they were sending me a "gift"

It was just a tube of the new mascara with the blue cap.

I feel like the only way this situation can be rectified by giving us first dibs on everything that launches from here on out.

I had figured out how to do this about a month ago but now I can't remember. I'll keep playing with it and let you know.


Okay, found it.

Go to shadows.
Click on the link that says "shop/filter 130 shades" top right of screen
On the next page you can filter by finish.

The lipsticks doesn't seem to have any filters today but I know it did last month.
