Rant

I've read here recently and on the MAC Community that some collections, like Ornamentalism, wont be released in Canada. This gets me so frustrated!!!!!: why does MAC sometimes exclude Canada in the release of their collections? Yes, Canada has received all collections until now but why havent I ever see any exclusives sold in Canada (for example, the Nordstrom exclusives)? And to top that off, there are rumors that some future collections wont be released in Canada......Hello!!!!!! MAC Cosmetics is a CANADIAN makeup company, why should Canada,the company's birthplace, be deprived from, say , Ornamentalism????
Sorry but I had to share! I find this unfair.....There are just as many MAC addicts here in Canada as there are in the rest of North America!

Hmm, my MA told me she just got back from update last Thursday and the Ornamentalism collection was her favorite out of everything. I'm pretty sure we are getting it. Otherwise, why would she have seen it at update?

I surely hope we do get this collection Shawna, but it frustrates me to see that MAC comes out with exclusives that arent sold in Canada.......

I'm pretty sure we will get Ornamentalism. We got all of the Holiday stuff last year, including the pink Saks exclusive palette.

MAC is no longer a Canadian company as they have been bought by EL. More than once I've been tempted to take my business completely elsewhere because of the way they treat Canadian customers. Ah well.

I forgot, since it's almost been a whole year (haha) but are any of the special things going to be on the MAC website? I can't remember how that's operated before. I thought I'd ordered stuff from them. In fact, for some reason, they still had 2 of the lip palettes from last year at least until this week if they're gone now.

Also, do you girls in Canada get the free shipping applied when they have their promos with the code you type in when you order? I haven't noticed if it only works in the states, because it's only with UPS or something. I thought I used to get things in the mail from them, but maybe I'm confused there.

ok, I just looked & it says "US members only." I wish there was a way to help! Maybe some of us could set up some trades when stuff comes out??

And I plugged Canada in the search for stores & the only one that came up is The Bay in Saskatoon! With an Naturally Eccentric event, but maybe you can call & have them send you things?

Woah... don't worry! We have ALL the same collections, at the same release date, except when it's a saks exclusive. The Bay have the Nordstrom exclusive stuff, too. (Printout, Tailormade)

We will have everything, holiday stuff, Ornamentalism too. We even had Luella TLC on the website!

...yay

I was going to figure out how to maybe pick up an extra of a couple things & trade here with someone if they had absolutely no other way.

Hi!
I believe I read that the Tailormade collection was sold at a Store called the Bay in Canada. You could also try ebay.
