Why is it up on the MAC web site for so long without being available to buy?

GAH - I went to a MAC store and a counter and neither said they had Finery in yet. Well, neither of them even knew what I was asking for. I said "Do have the Finery lip sets in yet? Even just to see the colors?" and all I got back were blank stares. It is killing me to wait another 3 days! Arrrg!

I went to the store to take a look at these sets yesterday - I was mainly interested in Pink and Coral. Here's my summary, I am purchasing the Pink bag, the Coral was sold out at my counter, but Ruling Class put me off because it was so dark.
The pink set is just gorgeous - the gloss (Gentility) is a sheer golden color which seemed a little out of place in this set (to me, there wasn't any pink in it, but I didn't swatch it so I can't say for sure) but I think it could look good over the lipsticks. Both lippies are frosty and glittery and definitely on the cooler side (as mentioned in previous posts) but the colors are great - nothing too overpowering. I think lara's pics are very accurate in showing the colors. Snob Appeal, the lighter of the two, is a mid-tone pink and Blue Blood is a gorgeous watermelon pink.
As for coral, I loved the gloss (Splendid) - it's a very pretty peachy pink and I wish this was in the pink set instead. The lighter shade of lipstick (Astro Chic) looked quite nice - once again, nothing too strong, just a sheer wash of color, but the darker shade (Ruling Class) was too dark for me, it was more of a bronzey color than a coral.

I ordered the Plum set. I think Coral looks gorgeous but I'm a coral freak and have so many coral lip products already that I just couldn't justify it.

I went to the MAC counter on Wednesday to get a couple sets of the Finery collection and was in for a surprise. After my girlfriends and I got some b2m, I asked for the Pink and Tan lip bags, and was asked for my name. To make a long story short, I was asked for my name twice by two different MAs and told that it could not be sold to me. The 2nd MA spilled the beans and said that some guys came and purchased all 4 sets and was told not to sell it to me. HOW SWEET!
And as if I couldn't be more surprised, he made sure to get there before I could get them (I went to lunch with my gfs) the MA told me he was there and they didn't even have the display up! but they couldn't understand what "little bags with lipstick" was. hehe.
Anyways, I LOVE the pink lips, especially the blueblood. I love the tan. My least favorite is Plum, I'm not a dark lip person.

Grah.. I broke down and bought the Coral Lips set.
It's so gorgeous and perfect for my NC30 coloring.
My first 2 lipsticks ever and I'm so excited! =)

My plums just came and I love them. The "dark" one is not too dark at all, at least for me, and it's gorgeous! The lighter one is too. Both of them really make my eyes look greener, which is what I love about plum lip products. The lipgloss is nice too, though nothing to get as excited about as the lipsticks. All in all, I'm a happy camper!

Got my Coral & Pink finery sets today....GORGEOUS! Like some of the above comments - I LOVED the Pink set especially the Blue Blood & Splendid lipglass from the coral set...really, really pretty! Even the darker more frosty shades that I thought I would not care for, looked very pretty on!
