Boycotting nordies from now on. After Colour Forms of course lol

Yup!! $8 for shipping, especially cosmetics, is ridiculous!

like i said in the designer collection threads, i have a feeling these will also be available at stores/and or maccosmetics.com. nordies is the only department store that gets entire collections as exclusives, and that's only during the summer, like with this year's colourforms, novel twist, tailormade, etc. they do also get exclusive quads, but those are in addition to the collection that's released everywhere.

i don't have a problem with this collection at all since the whole thing is repromotes, but the designer collections are pissing me off since they're not being released everywhere.

I agree with you & soco2010! $8 is a bit steep, especially considering that their packaging isn't so hot. Last time I bought from them I got one beauty powder in a huuuuuge box with just some brown paper in there to cushion it! What the heck?! Hopefully they'll package my Colour Forms haul better than that!!

 

[frankenstain]

Wow. Shadesticks?

 

[BeautyPsycho]

What about brushes? Are those repromotes too?

Penny shadestick for me it is!

i'll prob just wait and see what repromotes are coming out with this collection. the only things that really are interesting me at the moment are the pigments and glitters.

Erine I completely agree with you.It doesn't bother me that gold fever is an exclusive,but it is just so not fair that designer collections always are

It is just that Macy's never gets a chance with any of these,except for with Heatherette.What's the point then?Half the year MAC does exclusives.

This looks fun, but on another note: If any of you wonder why the quality of MAC products have diminished, it is because they take a lot of their money and pump it into events like this. Personally, I'd rather have better product formulation.

i agree. mac is suppose to be about cosmetics, not lavious shows and parties

 

[ChanelAddicted]

repromoting Blacktrack AGAIN? how original...

 

[CantAffordMAC]

omg can someone answer the funniest/dumbest question ever?

What color is sharkskin? For some odd reason Ive been thinking it was like a dark blue color....but now that i am using my brain and seeing a pattern in this collection, i get the idea that it may be silver.....besides the fact that sharks skin usually is silverish....

its a dark grey, almost black, with silver shimmer. it looks kinda like graphito paint or dark soul pigment.

Yeah this is the only thing i really want from this collection! I think it will make a great base for a smakey eye since i've been doing that more lately!!!

I also want Classic Cream liquidlast liner. I had my make-up done by a MAC mua last week for a wedding and i think she used this as a base! It looked really nice and i think she used it as a base for the whole bridal party. I checked the MAC site and its on there so i guess its just part of the regular line? Or i'm assuming its not available at counters but at the stores only? Either way i have a store and a counter at my mall 2 mins away so i really want to get this now!!!

 

[coachkitten]

Wow she used that as a base!? That liquidlast liner takes days for me to remove! If I used that as a base I could walk through fire and my shadow wouldn't even melt off.

Your wedding makeup must have really lasted!

sharkskin's been DC'd, so it might be a bit hard to find. i'd check freestanding stores first. they usually have a larger stock of products and sell out/RTV products after counters.
