According to the pics I saw on this site, it looks like the normal packaging, but with Alexander McQueen writing on it.

Same with the Holiday collections.
What makes the difference between one packaging and another then?


special packaging like barbie & mcqueen are the same compacts as regular mac stuff but with a different print, the otheres had completly different materials that they were made out of and different shapes...

Does Masque look similar to any other color?


the lipstick is not 100% normal. it has alexander mcqueen written on the base of the tube

My MA told me that McQueen, Mattene, Matte2 and the Plushlash are out on 1st Oct in New Zealand.
It's pretty much confirmed and I saw the McQueen colors myself. The colors are pretty gorgeous/bright and true to the fotos.
My MA did a quick swatch for me and even compared it to sea me shadestick for the paintpots. The colors are definitely different from sea me s/s. sorry, din manage to get any fotos tho.

and mac here is pretty much more expensive than in US.

I also called my counter today and the MA told me that some collections did get pushed back and she checked a memo and said that McQueen is in fact coming out Oct 4th after all.

I went to my bloomies mac counter and one of the ma's told me that mcqueen would not even be released there. He said this collection will be a limited release (at least in NY) only to saks, the flatiron store, mac pro, and a few other mac stand alone stores.

Wasn't it said that the e/s were going to be bigger than a reg. e/s? (or am I thinking something else?) Anyone know? If so what's the price difference?

I believe they are regular size. I think you're mistaking these shadows for the Flashtronic Mineralize Eyeshadows.

I know there's been a lot of question as to which Mineralized Skinfinish is being re-released with the Alexander McQueen collection. Some were saying Pleasureflush, others were saying New Vegas.

Well I have come bearing the news, that it is New Vegas that will be re-released..officially.

I was reading my new edition of Elle((Reese Witherspoon cover)), and in the beauty section there is an article on McQueen..and then a picture of the MSF in the corner..stating that it was New Vegas that is coming out.

I don't know how coveted that MSF is, or how popular it is...but just a heads up for all of you who didn't know, but wanted to know.

and sorry if this was already posted, or you already knew. i didn't know, and i'm sure there are others who don't know as well.

I just spoke with a group of MAs at my freestanding here in Woodland Hills, CA. They all confirmed that McQueen will still be being released on October 4th. They also said it will only be sold at Pro stores, freestanding stores, and Nordstrom counters (at least, here in the US, this is the case). So no Bloomies or Macy's counters will have the McQueen collection. In addition, they said they already have the collection in the back &it is VERY limited. One of the gals said they only got 10 each of some of the items. I'm sure you all realize this but let me just reiterate that this collection will sell out FAST. So if you can get to your store or counter on the 4th, I would definitely recommend it!

Hope this clears up any confusion

Does anyone know what date the McQueen collection will be released in Toronto, Canada and whether it's MAC free-standing store/pro store exclusive or whether it will be released at The Bay counters too? I'm getting so many different answers from the stores!
