So despite the fact that she was wrong about the collection having been released already I'm going to guess that she is right and Bay counters will not be getting this collection. Hopefully it will be available freestanding stores and the website.

Why are there so many uninformed MAC employees...?

Perhaps s/he was referring to the McQueen collection from a few years back? At least, I'm assuming there was, as I see MAC McQueen bags on eBay all the time. But why s/he'd think anyone would ask about something so old is strange. :shrug: I'm planning to go to Yorkdale on Tuesday, so hopefully I can find something out from the freestanding store there. *fingers crossed*

Okay. So once more- when is the official release date for this collection?? So confused with all this pushed back stuff. Just curious, need to get to the nyc pro store for that week early release sometime soon I think!

McQueen in Canada

Okay, I asked the girls at the Yorkdale freestanding store and they said they'll be getting the collection early October, so I guess it's just not going to be at counters. I'm going to be pestering the pro store for an event invite if there is one!

there is not supposed to be any exclusions as to country or location (according to the update book). unless they changed something since last update, saks will get it.

Copying from amyopoly.com forums:

It was released in Hong Kong:

^ Yup, it was indeed released in Hong Kong! I didn't see this post before I went today and I happened to come across the McQueen collection! (it's only released in "selected locations" in HK I believe, I'll post more on my MAC Chat Asia thread) Anyway, when it comes to makeup, I'm a natural gal and obviously this was not my collection... I didn't pick up anything apart from postcards, but from what I saw/swatched:

New Vegas MSF - you should know what this is like by previous reviews and photos. It didn't appear gold GOLD to me, so if I were to use it as a daily highlighter than yes that would still be possible. I'm C3/NC25-30.

The lipglasses - the pink one turned out to be almost WHITE when I swatched it. Very frosty white + multi coloured pearl (?), but if you don't mind that you should be able to top that over any lipstick no problem. The other one I didn't swatch, but certainly it's not an opaque lipglass either.

Colour of lipsticks weren't my thing, but still wearable IMO not crazy looking haute couture runway lips! The pink one is definetely cool because of its lavender tones. The other one looked like a yellowy-beige. All together, the lipstick colours will pair nicely with the 2 lipglasses.

Kohl powers!! Black Karat (?) is similar to Orpheus, but the olive/goldy shimmer is smoother. If you have Orpheus you'll know what I mean - I think the shimmer is kinda chunky. To choose between the two, I'd take Black Karat. Feline, you know already, and the green one? Forgot it's name, but it is no where close to Mystery. Mystery is teal pearl, whilst this one is EMERALD GREEN! I personally loved this colour and it's more pigmented than Mystery. Mystery IMO you tend to need to swipe a couple of times to make the teal pearl appear, though this one you don't. All 3 kohl powers are great if you don't already have them!

The paint pots + shadows I didn't have time to see, but picture in the post above me is a good representation. Great for those who love bright colours of course

So this is a very brief breakdown of what I remember, but if it helps, I'll try to snap a picture of the postcard and post it here

Thanks for all that info!

Oh, I called different stores in NYC, and some stores told me the 11th, other said the 4th. Why is there still debate about this? I really think it is the 11th!
