Product & Review FAQ
When does this come out?
November 4th for North America, November for international.
Is this limited edition?
All items have their status indicated item by item, but the majority are limited edition.
When will you have swatches?
Since I typically can't do swatches until I'm able to purchase the collection, not until closer to the date. If I'm able to do anything earlier, you will see it posted at that time.
What do you recommend?
I do not make recommendations without having tried the actual product.
I know im going to sound dumb asking this question but what happen to chapter 2? I went online and nobody has it.. did it sold out already??? :D
Hey Christine... I have been calling a couple of MAC stores and they say its coming out on the 11th... and moreover its not even up on MAC website.... so sigh sigh sigh.... waiting till 11th! and im gonna do a pre-order!
You said the lip sets are launched today, in the US. There not anywhere to be found :( No MAC website, no Macys, no Dillards. (sigh)
I think they meant the lip sets with the 5 mini lipglosses...I thought they were due to be released on the 4th, and they are still not online...?
the lip glosses. and the pigments. they're not online and i need two of the corals one for my friend and one for my mom. THeyre christmas and Hanukkah gifts.
I don't know if this will be seen, because it is an old post, but I'll try anyway. Does anyone know when these sets will come online? I spoke with MAC live chat, and they said that they don't have a "confirmed" date. That's sort of what they always say though..
My MAC counter said November 11th for this stuff... and I've seen girls say that... but I've also read Nov 4th.. hmm. Confused now haha.
I just bought the lipgloss sets today. I had prepurchased them at the MAC store near me and they received them this week. From what the MUA told me, they are receiving very small quantities compared to last year (12 of each instead of approx.60); 3/4 have already been sold through prepurchases. So if you want them, act fast. The colors are great !!!
Oh no! You mean I JUST ordered a bunch of the Chapter 1 collection and now these (Chapter 2) are coming out in a week or so? Well, I'm going to have to get the cool pigment set, I have no choice! Thanks for all the great pics & swatches so far, and I'm looking forward to those from Chapter 2.
Christine, I wanted to thank you for posting the pics. My MAC store did not have them on site but we could prepurchase them. Thanks to the pics, I chose the ones that I wanted and had them put aside so I won't have to run around after them.
I am going to ask for the Sassy Coral Lassies Lipglass for christmas, thats like the only thing I want for christmas, honeslty =D
Is the one in the red and green plaid the pink lipglass set? And is the one in the orange and blue the coral set? I want the orange and blue one, but I can't tell!
i want the pink lipkit:D and then i can keep cookies in the cute box<3 mac is the worst for my wallet!
Oh no, why would they start putting new LE pigments in the pigment sets? :O I can't justify buying a pigment set with 4 perm shades and 1 new but I love pigments so much and usually want every single one, haha ;)
I'm so glad that nothing from this collection appeals to me. If it did, I wouldn't even know where to start. I guess I'll be saving a lot of money :)
Hi Christine, For some reason, I heard from Nordstrom that the Part 2 doesn't release until Nov 11th...
Actually, both my mac stores in the city told me the collection won't be released til the 11th... maybe cuz I'm in Canada? I thought I was going to get my hands on it this week!.. but I'll just have to wait
I just talked to live chat in mac cosmetics website and they said november 11 also. i called nordstrom and a standalong mac store and november 11 too =( good thing i called. i was almost going to take a day off tomorrow LOL
your reccos for me dear :) plssssssssssssssss i am eyeing pigments , if u say all 3 i will go and buy but plsss you have to tell me i will buy only after reading ur useful reccos :) u know :) i dont have any of the colors :)
Hi Christine! From your experience, how quickly would you say these holiday collections sell out? Is it like the highly anticipated collections, where we have to pre-order everything? Or are these better stocked?
They don't seem to sell out instantly, though some items sell out at some point, so the stock seems to be higher, at least in the past.
...dang...!! I don't need more MAC pigments. I really don't. Really. Really!!! (Oh, who am I kidding. I'll probably get all three pigment-sets.)
