A MAC makeup artist at the freestanding store told me that there's a coupon on the MAC website that allows you to print the coupon and bring it in the store so that you are able to purchase the items from the Fafi collection. I was unable to find it on the website though. Has anyone else heard about this?

Whoa, thanks for the Mac/Fafi link!

In the Mac Cosmetics page on facebook, they posted more cute pics. I love ermine!

Two albums with official pics of the real life fafinettes in Facebook:

This whole collection is so cute. =)

I havent heard anything about the coupon onlne, the only thing I know is that only a select number of people got the direct mailer (its the sticky one!). The direct mailer allows you to shop almost a whole week in advance of the collection being released. There was another poster who got the sticky mailer, but mine had an extra paragraph that told me to shop the collection early.

I'm glad you posted this! I got the sticky mailer and I just quickly read over it, but I just re-read it and realized I can shop early so I'm going tomorrow!

I hope you get the cute little bags too! I got the CUTEST bag with the fafinettes on them! Its a must-have, and I believe they give it to everyone who shops early with the mailer. I posted pics of it in the product swatch thread.

Are you girls registered in their system? I know they track your purchase history, they must---they ask for your name when your buying things from the free standing MAC stores. I registered at a mac store a few years ago and always get calls about special events and they even invite me to makeup classes they hold on and off site. Ive only been to one in the past. I also buy regularly from MAC stores and not macys,nordstroms etc so maybe its a combo of things or maybe its random?

I used the heart stickers from the mailer and put them on my new gaming XPS laptop hahaha....

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's importance as a business center pales in comparison to many other cities (such as NYC), even though it's a very important trade and business outlet from the viewpoint of the west. Having some of the most fabulous buildings in the world does not a capital make.

But I'm not buying any Fafi either... I've just become overwhelmed with blahhhh by it after seeing pictures - and slightly annoyed that such a plain collection is being marketed as "graffiti girl."

If you shop at counters, MAC doesn't know who you are. If you buy online or at a MAC store, they will send mailers... odds are how many mailers they bother sending depends on how much you buy. I believe it's just like getting the Coach 25% off private sale cards... if you buy Coach at Macy's, etc... you never get them. If you buy at their stores, bingo. =)

Okay, so I got one of the mailers with the little stickers...but no where does it say anything about "shopping early".

Where does it say that? Or I suppose I got the "regular" mailer?

You shouldn't really rely on the swatches that MAC puts on their site. My husband and I found out that they use the same two or three pics in black and white for the swatches (of ALL of their products) and then place a color mask over the picture that they think is "similar" to the actual color of the product, which really typically isn't always true to form or texture of the product.

is the mailer you got a 3 page fold out? if so, it should say on the inside left side bottom about shopping early before collection becomes available to the public. says free standing mac stores only from what I can remember (dont have mailer in front of me this second)

Always buying from MAC stores never been asked about any info :S just get what you want and pay and bye bye thats it :/

 

[exoticarbcqen]

^ Funny. ive always been asked. And I only go to 2 free standing mac stores.[both are 75miles from each other] Well, I also use my visa so maybe my purchase history is in there that way? I vividly remember them asking on numerous occasions "are you in our system?"

Oh, no mine has only 2 pages. Thanks for clarifying, though! I am not too worried, as I am attending the "party" for it tonight! *squeal*
