Early Buzz Regarding MAC Collections/Products Coming in 2011 - Discussion

[kayley123]

HerGreyness, I also appreciate all the advance info, but it does make sense why it needs to stop. Hopefully it will calm the frenzy at release time--at least, I hope it will! I feel really sorry for people who might like to try VV collection items and don't have a way to get them--because it is SOLD OUT even BEFORE the official release date! An average consumer who sees this collection will say, "oh, the 30th? Okay, I'll go there after I get home from work on the 30th," only to find out it was sold out DAYS before! For some items, even if they were released that day, I'm guessing that getting on in the evening after work might even be too late (did Stereo Rose &/or Marine Life go that fast?) I know it will still be at counters, but even then; limited supplies won't help, and it only helps those who are near the counters/stores.

Looking at what you said in the other thread, I can't remember which one, it does make sense, even though it sucks. I kinda feel that information sharing is a two way street - one way for diehard consumers, and another for competitors.. but I can't help but think that this is partly MAC's fault, they should have better quality promo images, and possibly in invest in actual high-quality swatches, instead of us having to rely on their employees etc. That and actually release some info a month or fortnight before the collections launch - the whole TT thing completely wound me up, and fine I completely agree about some information being withheld, but not all surely?

MAC is having a bloggers event in the UK this evening, not sure what to make of that especially when they've 'banned' employees from releasing info 3 days earlier

Wow. That must be the first time I've ever heard any MAC info SPECIFICALLY for the UK. The biggest thing that winds me up is that there are never any UK-specific prices, meaning we can budget that well, especially for new products. Where did you learn that from? I'd be interested in following some of the blogs that attended it.. the more info the better tbh.

I heard about it through twitter, some of the bloggers going are: Tali @ The Gloss Goss, Muhsine @ Bubblegarm, Milly @ Pearls and Poodles, Tanya Burr and the Pixiwoo girls - I'm sure there are lots more but they're the ones I've seen tweeting about it.

As sorry as I am that we don't get any information for upcoming collections (TT was a hard wait after the surplus of info for TTB, FF & VV), maybe this will give Specktrettes a chance to play with current collections- more time to ponder a product you may have rushed over or share more looks and combos or techniques with each other without obsessing 6 months in advance for another one. (That was rational thinking, the little voice screaming for new info & swatches is still there

)

What am I gonna do with my life when I can't go on Specktra and get insider info & amazing swatches on new MAC collections and tentatively plan my expenses for the next 6 months?!

Just kidding. But thanks to you all of you for providing us with all the up-coming information, I'm not sure what I'm going to do without.

And I'm sure everyone is extremely sad besides our husbands/love-ones/friends and wallets.

HerGrayness I thank you and others for sharing information about the upcoming collections this year! Hoping the frenzy of a specific product that's coming out in a collection will die down soon. Look what happend to Marine Life Highlight Powder and Stereo Rose Mineralize Skinfinish? They sold out so fast since they were advertised in magazines/websites/ect. I was trying my best to not fall for hyped up products but they do lure me in at times and then after that, I feel guilty of the people who didn't get the chance to snatch it up right away.

I have some news:

there seems to be rumours of releases of the "old" Bronx shade - which was matte but now is a lustre..

there is also a new "Savoury" -- a fun orange shade


and a new hot azalea pink ls and magenta blush-- no names.

my job is really not to guess names or collections so I cannot name these now...but

I am going to post some pics of my personal stash but warn everyone to look for the strange objects in the pics my personal toy collection!
