MAC Après Chic Collection Discussion (December 2012)

[Mac-Guy]

So I'm a bit confused. I thought the PLW eye liners were permanent? T has them listed as LE??

Also - the Pressed Pigments - I thought they were permanent as well? Now I'm reading only some shades are permanent and some are LE? Can someone clear this up? Thanks!!

Does anyone else miss the days when MAC would release only 1-2 collections at a time? All this new stuff all at once is a bit overwhelming

I'll purchase mine immediately. You never know with MAC. Better safe than sorry.

You tried the lipsticks on, right? Since I only did the hand swatches, can you tell me what you feel the benefit of a mineralized lipstick is? How does it compare to other finishes? I feel like the lipsticks in this collection are colors that I'm either not interested in or that I have near dupes for. But I'm tempted to get one anyway just to try out the formula. Any advice? TIA!

They are not mineralize lipsticks. They come later on, but we don't know when yet.

All of her information is jacked up. I've noticed the LE/PERM info, as well as the relase dates/locations are incorrect.

Oh right, I keep forgetting. Too many collections at once, and I keep putting all the mineralized products together in one collection in my head, lol. Thanks for the reminder. Lippies from this collection are definitely a skip for me!

^^^^ this!

Yeah I'm most likely just going to purchase the items on my list whether they're permanent or not. I just don't like getting hooked on a product and because it's LE I can't get it again until MAC decides to release it again. (For example the PLW eye liners)

Thanks for your input!!

I'll purchase mine immediately. You never know with MAC. Better safe than sorry.

I just realized this collection is being released in stores on the 26th... Any other Canadians see a big problem with this? BOXING DAY!!! There's going to be hundreds of people already lined up at the crack of dawn at every mall across the country!!!.... I guess I'm counting on my refresh button to get the items I want

I thought it was done on Boxing Day on purpose! I would not want to be at Yorkdale or Eaton Centre......online all the way!

I woke up every 2 hours to check the site, my sleep pattern was interrupted, I'm slightly irritated and the damn collection still isn't up ! MAC please launch it online already! I hope and pray that their not waiting until the 24th to do so! The 24th and 26th, is NOT happening for me, "ain't nobody got time for that"!

That's how it's been for me the last two nights.

No website stalking for me. I'm going to call my closest Macy's as soon as I'm not sick anymore and ask if they can put my stuff on hold. That way, I can use my employee discount. I'll also be sure to ask if they'll get Strength too.

i hope you get better soon and that you can do your pre-order with no trouble!

I'm getting all the MES. I won't make the mistake of skipping any again. Is vein hunting necessary this time around? Also has the 287 been released before? It seems that Mac has been releasing many new brushes in the SE size lately and bringing in the regular full size version later. I'm wondering if I have this one in a SE size already. Anyone know? I'm still not sure about the lips yet. Blushes look iffy for me. This may be a good thing (out of control blush drawer). I can't wait for this collection. I feel like I haven't bought anything from a new collection in ages. But I know this isn't true since I bought heavily from Glamour Daze. That seems so long ago.

I thought vein hunting was necessary but IMO it was not really a big deal this time (just when I got knowledgeable, lol) Other than WP copper grey distribution varied a bit but the others were mostly all well balanced. The shiniest two are Ice and Silver Birch. I pre ordered WP, FM, and FS. I think I will back up Fireside ..........eyeshadow back up hoarder here

 

[Debbs]

There was only four (4) of a few of the eyeshadows at the Macys counter I visited early today. The MUA informed that supplies were limited..........gives a whole new meaning to Limited Edition. I didn't have to pay or anything. Just my name and my goodies were nicely tucked away. My Nordies still did not get their stock as yet which is very unusual for that store

When i swatched and pre-ordered, i passed on Stereo Rose - it's lovely, but it's too orange for me.

But now i'm wishing i'd pre-saled Porcelain Pink, and i probably won't be in town when the collection goes "live". I LOVE Blonde and Redhead, and Porcelain Pink is kinda in between the two.

Now I'll have to call my local MAC and see if "my" MUA is there and if she'll hold one for me - i mean, she WAS holding one for me, but i had her put it back, and now i'm having second thoughts.

All i pre-ordered was Hot Chocolate lipstick and Nice & Simple mineralized balm.

I'll probably pick up one or two eye shadows when it come out.

Last year's and this year's mineralize brush sets. Tho they were numbered differently, it's the same brush.

I'm bummed that the Macy's Mac counter i go to said they aren't getting Strength in. Hopefully your Macy's will! Feel better!
