The one item that is kind of luring me into this collection is the warm lip palette. I missed Flash of Flesh and Oh Garnet looks like it would make for a very pretty fall lip.

I finally went to Nordstrom to look at this collection and I was totally underwhelmed. I just don't see anything in this collection that it too different from anything I already have. I am happy because this gives me more money for Sonic Chic and Electroflash. I am hoping that I see some of this stuff at the CCO later on but I feel good about passing on it all now.

nuts. And, I'm always very nice to everyone...but the store makeup manger was kinda rude to me...so thats when lil ol me said, 'look, it's not my problem that you're only getting a few items, so you can't deny me the preorder!'

So she put me through to the MAC gal working that day & she ended up being the gal that always helps me...so she's the one that worked it out for me.

No, I said Back to MAC & then said B2M

Plus, not to know what is in the entire collection that is coming out...because it's close to the launch & on the Nordies website...so its not like it was something months down the road

I felt like you...there are plenty of people that would love to work for MAC, so if you don't want to take the time to be in the know about whats going on...quit & let someone who is really into it work.


Since you said it was busy, be aware that the artist could have been a freelancer. Freelancers are not trained and are only educated on minor MAC details. Yes we are told about Back 2 MAC and Viva Glam, etc, but not in alot of depth. When we are hired, we are just thrown onto the floor. So many do not know much about the Back 2 MAC program, Viva Glam/MAC Aids Fund, and definitely have little knowledge of past/current/and coming collections. Not to defend her really, but this may have been the case and I hope that she learns more about MAC ASAp!


And I CANT WAIT FOR COLOUR FORMS!

Susanne I think you will like it too, since we share similar taste eg. Mercurial, Ether, MES *you know*. But Play around Pink might not be that special to buy when you swatch on the hand but when apply on cheeks, you will love it.

Thanks for the details.

No, the MAC lady that didn't get the B2M is not a freelance artist & she's been there for awhile. But thats a small thing...it just surprised me.

The lady that was rude to me was not a MAC employee at all, she was Nordies Cosmetics manager. I'm assuming she is Nordies head over all the cosmetics dept. She called me back per my request after being told I could not do a preorder.

I have a really great relationship with the MAC artists at that particular store. I'm still not sure why they had so much confusion about the preorder.

I ordered mine around June 26th and ordered all 6, 2 of each. I just checked the total to make sure I got them all and it's right. It will be interesting if I get Royal Flush. I wonder if they ran out from so many pre-orders and are waiting for more to get in? Thats what happened at Mac Pro in Canada with the neon collection. They only had 2 colors and didnt get the others till the day they advertised them on-line. Hopefully that's why the royal Flush isnt available...

had you already paid for yours erine? some girls pre-ordered earlier this week and paid as well and were able to get it. From what I understand you can only have it in your cart if it hasnt already sold out with pre-orders, I think once its sold out other carts lose their items??

im kind of glad that i pre-ordered way ahead for this collection so that i dont have to go through the headache of not getting something i want. i guess royal flush is a lot more popular then i thought it would be...i had been considering taking it off my pre-order but there isn't anything like it.

should i get deep deposit...is it worth it??? im getting 3 other richmetal highlighters that are a bit more versitile except for dark influence which is that gorgeous purple.

I had better get my Royal Flush; I preordered (they took my card number and everything down so that they could do the preorder) a week ago Tuesday and I'm very well known at the MAC counter.

yeah, it appears that both royal flush p/m and pop circle l/s are sold-out. i guess now we know which ones are popular. i'm super glad i was able to preorder them both at my local nordies.

Has MAC ever done a collection of brushes like the basic set in this collection? I know the Advance brushes were done at least once before as I have a set almost if not identical that I bought a few years ago.

I thought I would be more impressed with this collection and am surprised at how small my MAC preorder was (basic brush set, Royal Flush and Warm lips and possibly Deep Deposit). I spent more at Dior this time around. To whomever posted the link to the Dior polish (Janice, was that you?), THANK YOU!!! :)
