MAC - Graphic Garden (Nordies Anniversary Collection) Discussion

[elegant-one]

I talked on the phone yesterday with my MAC MA at Nordies. They have everything out to see - and she said they LOVED the colors.

Baby blooms - I love that name & I'll own it.

 

[yodagirl]

I absolutley love palettes, so I'll definately be getting both of them

The Baby Blooms colors look awesome too! Thanks for the swatches Kyoto

Has anyone tried to preorder at a Nordies that is honoring the 25% off sale?

I know if you buy products now they'll honor the sale but if you preorder I don't think they would, but then again I don't know if anyone has tried that yet

today I was at my local Macy's counter and the MAs working there had no clue about the 25% off sale. When someone else walked up and asked about it, they were like "Whaaa" and I told them that I knew about it too, but it sounded like it must have been only online.

But if Nordies would honor it, woooo - I'm going in tomorrow to see about getting the shadows from Style Warrior.

Yeah, I can understand them not taking 25% off the pre-order, but man - I wish they would.

 

[SmokeSignal16]

Yeah Nordies is good about honoring prices but Macy's wouldn't do it, so it kind of doesn't surprise me that they didn't know about the sale but at the same time they should have because our lovely resident Erine works for a Macy's MAC and she knew about the sale

 

[mtrimier]

The fine print in the email and online says the sale is at mac online only.

If Nordstrom's honors it, though, I might be tempted to sneak in and grab some things.

Baby Blooms looks gorgeous in the pic in iadoremac's post.

Hmmmm....

It really does! I'm quite anxious for this collection, since it's supposed to come out the same day as Colour Craft. DH is well aware of the date as well, he's got it marked on his calender because after that, I have to take a MAC break!

I saw and drooled on this collection... I put more pics up in the swatch thread, but here are some drool worthy pictures to lure you to the swatch thread:

Baby Blooms and Sweet tease, yes you will be mines... I also did some comparisons... the only one that I felt that stood out and paid attn to was the blue e/s in the palette, its a sky blue color that applied very pigmented and well compared to shimmermoss which is greenish and I find a b*tch to apply

 

[kyoto]

It looks like they had the palettes reversed.

k so sorry if this is a really stupid question but I want to make sure that I have this right. You can only buy this collection at the Bay/ Nordstrom's not at mac online right?

Not a stupid question at all, but you are correct this is only available via Nordstrom and the Bay.

I saw this collection at my local Nordstrom today and it all looks so nice. The look boxes are such a good deal and I like the card with a face chart that comes inside.

I asked to look at the palettes that come with the collection and the MA said that there weren't any. I told her that there were and she kept telling me that there were no palettes in this collection. I really hate it when MAs don't know what it going on. Especially if you are pre-selling you should know what you are pre-selling. It was really frustrating.

 

[SmokeSignal16]

Yeah I know how you feel coachkitten, when I went to pre-sell the quad for Rose Romance the MA that helped me how no clue there was one! It wasn't till she flipped thru her own update book when she saw they had one. I'm going to try and look at this next week so I can make a decision if I'll get anything or not, I mean I'll get a look box but I'm kind iffy on everything else so far. In other news I had a minor panic attack in the kitchen as my little brother's pet crawfish almost escaped the tank! Those pinchers sure look A LOT bigger outside of the water than they do in it lol.

Totally agree. This whole collection is right up my alley.

Gimmie gimmie...

 

[Ernie]

I pre-ordered the 2 lip bags and 2 eye pallettes after i got this in the mail;

 

[clslvr6spd]

GAH! Ernie I want it!

 

[SakuraDelia]

I was dying for this collection, but after seeing Color Craft, I think I'm gonna pass on this. =\
