I believe the day after Christmas collections always come out on the 26th, no matter what day of the week it is...BUT last year they released it early, before Christmas...

Whoah. That collection is a killer! Might as well budget for almost the entire thing, as I'm really interested in almost ALL of it!

yes, I know.. I am not only sad, but aggravated because any information about products which are not yet officially released has been curtailed.. there can be no more swatches or information of products which have not yet been oficially released via public communication. I think once you get the official swatches you will be able to work out which of the MEgaMEtals ES you really like.

Thank god I'm not the only one.. I just hope they're not domed and they come in pans so it's not so bad, I would probably get a palette just for these shadows..

Yeah, I'm loving the fact there is so many though - and not just one type of colour either! Wahey, we have choice!

When did this happen? Thank you so much for all the info you've shared over the months, and thanks for even bothering to tell us anyway! I, and I'm sure many others deeply appreciate it.

Frankly I was amazed at the the Wild West level of info that's been out there. I can only assume MAC will move to supplying certain sanctioned media and blogs with advance products for swatching, or improve their own official product pictures and swatches (which are terrrrible). If they don't, it'll probably cut down on the buffalo stampede hysteria but also cut down on their publicity and bottom line too. It's always a bad thing when companies start operating with secrecy and paranoia for the competition, imo. Just flaunting your products' superiority is a better policy.
'Sucks for you, HerGreyness, since the feedback you can gather here and elsewhere for near term products probably helps you directly in your marketability assessments for the more further out collection sweeps.
We'll all still be around yakking about our dream makeup fantasies, at least!

The information was sent to me on the 27th -- late p.m. -- but I am looking at the email, and I do see what they mean. In all honesty, I did post pics of BOA last June -- way ahead of the projected release date. I am glad some of you on Spectra appreciate it or got something from it.

liba, thank you for your appreciation of the situation. The amount of information being leaked via internet -- blogs, YouTube, etc... is putting all the financial projections for collections out of control. There are cutbacks in production due to economic restraints, and the more information is dispersed -- way ahead of the actual product release, whether good or bad about a product, drives the demand in a crazy way or inversely leaves stock laying around.
My work depends on the viability of products vis a vis price and competition as well as the elements necessary for a hot selling product -- colour, texture, packaging. This curtailing is for all who work directly or indirectly with the Cosmetic Industry and manufacturers and I believe has been instigated by the print industry (magazines/advertisers especially since they suffer the brunt of lack of advertising) and the pressure they bring to bear on the manufacturers. Also at play is the competitive and secretive nature of the entire industry.. as you well know, as soon as a designer shows a dress, someone is already knocking it off somewhere in the far east. The same situation is ocurring with cosmetics -- to wit, we have all varietes of MAC imitations, CD imitations, Chanel imitations, including but not limited to lipsticks, brushes -- these are growing by leaps and bounds due to the very low prices of the products and the ignorance of those who purchase them thinking they are good dupes for the real thing.
Point of fact, I received some product today, which is for review/comment only -- and there are blushes almost identical to BOA, and the upcoming WW collection's brights -- and they are made by an Indian company and sell for about $ 2.50 US.
sorry for the long post.
It is a very difficult situation -- for me, it doesn't really suck as I have access to a lot cross information from many different companies -- but I feel bad that I will not be able to show or share any of the wonderful and technologically advanced products in advance to anyone here.... other than that, I would frankly be honoured if anyone tried to cancel any of my contracts, as I could retire very nicely with what I would get in litigation.

HerGreyness - Your knowledge of the cosmetic/beauty industry is amazing and so interesting to read.
I really appreciate all of the information that you and others here on Specktra have given in the past months/years. It is much appreciated.
Maybe now that we won't know about collections so far in advance it will cut down on some of the frenzy when new collections come out. I don't mind the excitement of a new collection but when people can't even find a product the day after the release it makes me crazy.
