I agree- Sassy Grass is a MUST. Love it!

No unfortunately we don't have a Pro store here, only one counter in whole Helsinki.

Has any other country been left without this or is it just us in Finland?

That sucks... I hope you will get some more in the future. It is only since may that i have a counter in the city where i live. Slowly there are coming more counters in the Netherlands.

CH did not get it either. So you are not alone.
I always wonder who decides which country gets what. The dazzleglass cremes did not make it to Germany, but Dare to Wear did. I do not have to understand this though

 

[xKiKix]

that is so weird that only certain places stock up on collections. in chicago, this has never happened.

i hope that there's some way that you guys can get this collection. even though most of it are perm. (pro) shades there are some jewels that everyone should at least get a chance to experience.

 

[Fiberluver]

Geez,

I feel so lucky that we in the Baltimore, MD area get every collection.

I have access to 2 Nordies, 2 MAC freestanding stores, a Macy's that sells MAC and a bunch of CCO's plus the macwebsite.

I can't imagine having only one counter in your entire city or country!

And I was @*&&^ about not having direct access to a MAC Pro store!

I'm gonna shut up and be thankful for what I have!

if you need a CP i could help you out

PinkBasset did you get yours sorted? it's so odd that you don't get certain collections

i can undestand little ones like a+o or rodarte, but this was a fairly big and well hyped collection

 

[AndSparkle]

What I don't get is that there's no information SPECIFIC to these areas, telling them what collections they're getting and which ones they're not. MAC really needs to widen its net of locations where they give out press releases to bloggers etc.. it's really the only information we can get.. and normally it's US orientated.

Lovely InspiredBlue will check for me if they have the items on my list!

I can too understand A+O, and Rodarte too I'm not even expecting to come here, but like you said, this was fairly big collection and I cannot see why they skipped it.

Yes! Best would be if Mac would release everything everywhere. Or atleast take international orders on its website.

Anywho...I'm still contemplating Ban This even though I keep telling myself that I don't really need it. It's just so darn cool....also looking at Going Bananas and Sassy Grass, but it's hard for me to justify spending the $$$ on colors I will likely rarely wear.

Sassy Grass is fabulous you might want to get it for the off chance you find a reason to wear it.

it is a must I am currently contemplating picking up a back up.

 

[InspiredBlue]

I think it might have to do with that Digi Pop/Dazzle whatever it's called, also has it's international release this month. Maybe the managers for MAC Finland thought two fairly large collections at once would be too much and not sell.

 

[Flaminbird]

I went to MAC f/s to return the Hover liner I had bought a few weeks ago and this is the same store I said I wouldnt go to anymore. Well I saw a new MUA I hadnt seen when I first walked in and I took another look at the collection since there was no one else in the store. I wish I could afford more of the e/s because I really did like Lime and Going Bananas and the Gimme That gloss. I also liked Atlantic Blue and all of the e/s swatched really nice on me. While I"m certainly glad I now have a job after a year of nothing it's hard because it's only p/t and about 2/3 or less of what I used to make

. I had to tell the MUA I couldnt afford anything else as much as I would love to have a few more things. Now this time that I went into that store I had a pleasant experience unlike the last few. I told them what happened with the MUA not taking the depots back and I was ticked about it and they both apologized and said what she told me was wrong. The manager told me next time that happens to make sure I find her and she'd straighten it out.

I recieved my black box yesterday!

Loving Sassy Grass!!! I've worn it the last two days. Its an amazing crease color and blends so well. I wore it with going bananas in on the lid and SG on the crease and went to wallmart and the guy said my makeup was awesome and has never seen anyone do it like that

Going Bananas is awesome too. Cant wait to use it with golds

Sky blue is ok. Def got to play around with it some more

So Bad lipglass is awesome! I was so scared about the color, but I'm loving it. I LOVE it paired with frou lipstick. I think I might have to try and get a few other colors lol and maybe louder please e/s for my pink smokey eye

That's so cool! I love stuff like that.

Glad you're enjoying Sassy Grass as much as I am.

Thanks, that's so sweet

I have ordered online, so all I need is to have some patience and wait for it all to arrive

 

[LMD84]

i think i shall be naughty and order a couple more of the glosses at the end of this week! terrible but these are seriously awesome glosses!

 

[InspiredBlue]

While I was shopping for PinkB, I tried out more of the glosses. But the one I liked - the orange toned one - is sold out. Oh well, money saved.

Digi pop was there as well, but I am totally not even tempted by that collection

 

[banana1234]

i thought the pigmentation of sky blue sucked. I am so glad i got aqua instead. I ordered aqua, along with quite a lot more on the day it was released, and then went to my store the weekend after it was released to try out gimmie that, and was fully prepared to get sky blue, but i swatched it and eugh, it reminded me of a really badly pigmented blue version of aquadisiac, all the glitter, none of the pigmentation

the stand outs of this collection for me is, sassy grass, going bananas, and gimmie that. I also got bold and brash, but it isnt as bold and red as i would have liked, its still pretty awesome though!

My bf got me Bold&Brash and I was really disappointed, it's not as wham-bam red as I hoped. Good, that it is not just me

 

[LMD84]

i'm please bold and brash isnt a completely crazy red

but perhaps you guys who want it more intense could use ruby woo lipstick as a base?
