Hi Beauties!
I'm totally new to the board - well, at least it's the first time I'm posting

so please don't be to harsh with me if it's not the right thread for my question.

I'm totally in love with the Finery Sets - especially the coral one

Unfortunately I live in Germany and here the sets cost like 65$!!!

Good for me that I have a sister-in-law in NYC who is willing to buy the stuff for me. My question now is if and when Nordstrom.com will get the Finery Sets? Maybe one of you can help me

 

[Danapotter]

Yeah this collection is pretty cool.

I think I am going to get my mom the Plum one, and possibly the Tan one. I am looking into the Pink one.

 

[AudreyNicole]

The more pictures I see, the more I am excited for this part of the collection. I know I definately want the pink one and possible the plum! The colors look great!

 

[Winthrop44]

I agree! I think I want coral and plum.

 

[Brianne]

I am ALL over the coral and plum sets! Of course I need more lip products like I need a hole in the head, but like that will stop me.

 

[Krasevayadancer]

I preordered pink and coral. Hope im gonna love em :-D

 

[User40]

Pink it is!

 

[soco210]

I'm more than likely going to need ALL of those lol

 

[shadowaddict]

I like the tan but that dark one looks VERY dark. Has anyone seen this or know if it's sheer or really that dark? The coral is really pretty also. I can't wear pinks but I'm going to get that for my daughter-in-law.

 

[foxyqt]

yeah i really thought about getting the Tan set too {i've had High Tea on my wishlist for ages} but the dark color turned me off cuz i can never pull off dark-brown lippies >.<

You and me both. Too brown or too purple and I look like I need oxygen. I look asphyxiated.

These look soooo pretty!! I have never bought any of the Christmas collection stuff before because the combinations usually don't appeal to me. But the pink & coral ones look so nice. The pink Lustre l/s does look reallly sparkly though, not sure if I like that. Will have to check these out in person.

OK well I went by MAC today and these had already arrived with all the other holiday stuff in Switzerland.

I was disappointed by these lip products. First of all, they are really expensive here in Switzerland ($61 USD - how much are they in the States??) and the lipsticks all seemed pretty darn glittery, which I loathe. The pink ones hardly had any colour pay-off, they looked a lot nicer than they wore.

So I ended up buying some other stuff. I bought the goldish Fluidliner and the red lipglass from the main displayer collection, and a lipliner from the perm. line. Ah well.

 

[Danapotter]

Well, Haughty e/s with the Tan Lips is pretty dark. I have swatches of Finery packs here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=9S1qv7Ow4sg

High Tea is beautiful though!

 

[BloodMittens]

This is so exciting

I still love my pink lips from last year!

They're going to be $32 USD.

Thanks for the warning. I was going to get the pink, but may decide on the plum instead. I noticed the brushes in the Royal Assets lip palettes aren't as nice as in the past, they almost seem synthetic. The hairs keep coming out and getting stuck in the pans.

 

[seabird]

aah i love my pink finery set. i wear it LOADS, it's lovely flattering colours.

 

[etooz]

I'm just biding my time until these come out. I'm gonna be all over the coral one. According to the staff here, they'll be for sale at the Buffalo counter on the 15th.

Great to know we are being charged double the price in Europe. What a friggin rip off. Thanks MAC.
