At first I wanted almost everything from this collection but after months of waiting and seeing all the new collections, I might skip the whole thing. I'm really not a fan of the packaging so I hate to spend the extra money for items when I have similar shades in my stash already. The only two items I am still considering are girl next door ( I'm a sucker for pale pinks) and cream soda, I'm not sure how this will work on my cool pale NW15-20 skin tho. I'm on the hunt for a peach or coral blush that will work with my cool coloring so I have an alternative to large collection if pinks. I already own launch away and easy manner, is cream soda different enough? Can any pale NW's recommend a flattering peach/ coral shade?

Noooo
lol some items used to sell out before the rest of the civilians were able to buy. And like we saw before some pro people are the ones selling them on ebay

If you can still get your hands on Supercontinental its lovely on, I'm NW15. I also really like Fleet Fast but it was also limited ed. Nars Deep Throat could be another one for you.

I am going to have to side with Erine, I miss the Pro only releases, and although there are a small few who abuse the privilege most pro members do not resell the products. The same can be said for regular customers who purchase lipstick for $15 and resell on eBay for $100.Noooo

I often wonder whether I'm paying more for MAC as a regular customer though because of the lower prices for pro's. I'm not interested in this collection, so I don't care when the release is. Just focused on the prices.

Thanx! Just checked out swatches, and they are all beautiful, but I'm gonna try and get hands on fleet fast. Thanx again for the suggestion

Haha I do this. I have a notebook I keep my lists in with the prices. That way I keep total how much I'm spending on MAC for the month. It's not as colorful and beautiful as yours considering I have sloppy writing. lol
This is what my list looks as of now, debating whether I should go for the brushes? Any advice ladies!?

I don't have a Pro card and buy online. I would be pretty angry with Mac and buy about 99% less (at full price even!) if regular customers were given no shot at new collections before pros snapped up all the most desirable stuff and at a discount. A collection like this especially seems geared toward personal, not professional use.

I'm pretty sure the TT collection released on a Sunday online. So Sundays aren't out of the question!

dammit you have a point lmao. What they should do if they begin to sell on the site to pros first is to really let pro know exactly when it will be on the site. I feel like its a slap to the face to professionals having to stalk the site.

Maybe im just weird, but it kinda rubs me up the wrong way when eBay sellers (especially ones active on specktra) sell items like this, double the Price, even before they've been realsed.a picture of stay sweet lipgloss picture taken from: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MAC-LIPGLAS...9004308?pt=US_Makeup_Lips&hash=item43b7f39b14

Anyone know if/where preorders are being taken?

This collection is going to be available at Macy's and Nordstrom in addition to MAC stores, so the best bet would be to call the MAC stores/counters in your area and see if they allow pre-orders before taking a trip to one (unless they're in close distance to you). Unfortunately, every store has a different policy regarding pre-orders. It seems that many stores will only do pre-orders for Holiday collections.

I feel you, I just dont understand how it happens.. Is it the actual Mac artists who get gratis before hand who go and sell them like that? I mean, idk how else the public is getting stuff before weeks before it releases..
