The Bay will have them on Thursday.

This is correct, Nordstroms, The Bay and select international locations will only have these. The bag is too cute.

Ok, now I can't find pictures of those fancy little bags with the glitter liners and glimmer shimmers. Where on earth were they? It drives me nuts how there are so many threads about each collection and I have to check them all...........

Holiday is available online

Just thought I'd mention it for all you night birds...Formal Black is up and running. The Face Brushes set still says "coming soon" but everything else is a go. I ordered the Black Box of Brushes thingie and the Intense Eyes. I'll get more but that's all I had $$$ for right now and those were the 2 I wanted the most. I'll still get the Warm Eyes, Smoke Eyes, and maybe 3 Pink or Tan lips collections. Yay!

Formal Black "Smoked" Palette pics r/o

It's gorgeous. It's THE one to get out of the 4 of the palettes. The colors are unique and beautiful, and make the perfect smokey but interesting eye. Of course the packaging is completely stunnning.

MAC REALLY hit the mark with this collection. All the palettes were gorgeous, but I couldn't justify suedette because the colors were too bright for everyday, the warm because I had star violet and an ATG lookalike, and the cool because I already had a version of "chillblue". I might get that one later actually.

The brush sets are really cute as well! (were in a glass case so I didn't get to play with them)

Enjoy and I hope this helps anyone for reference.

Went to see formal black today!

Hi all! I think this very well may be my first post!

I have got a horrible cold and yet managed to drag myself out in the miserable weather and take the 20 minute walk up the street to my Mac store.

Apparently there was a lineup outside of the store this morning. I don't know if I was just overly sniffly and bleh but nothing really instantly bowled me over.

From what I've been reading, the warm and intense palettes seem to be the most popular, but I am just swimming in warm e/s of similar shades so I just don't think I could do the warms, and the intense palette was just too intense for me.

I don't have many MAC shades, and the smokey eye palette was quite nice however some of the more neutral shades almost seemed kind of chalky....I know that none of these are new, but the lighter shades put me off of the palette a bit? But for those of you that have those shades, do they wear nicely? The grey's were really pretty but I don't know if I liked the lighter shades in the set....are they really great staples worth having? You guys are the experts so I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Also, I was really surprised to find myself drawn to the cool palette. Really surprised!! I really liked the sparkly bluey/silvery colors. I don't know why but this was the palette that I was most drawn too.

Didn't pay too much attention to the lip palettes, I also prefer my lipstick in the tube.

Didn't think I would want any of the lip sets but wow is the red lip set ever pretty! Very wearable reds, casanova is just so sheer and lovely. I think I might have to get this one.

So, should I get the smokey and cool eye sets? Are the lighter shades in the smokey set nice enough to buy the whole palette for? Or no not so much?

It's really too bad they didn't do more with the VP formulas other than the intense and warm palette.
