UGh! This has to be the ugliest M.A.C collection in HISTORY I wouldn't even take it if it was free. I was expecting something cute this year. Not PLAD!?!?! EWW
:'C I want absolutely everything.... Plaid is my favourite thing ever.... They picked THE worst possible year to do this to me.. I won't be able to get anything /sobs in corner for eternity
noo! this collection is way too amazing! and i already splurged on urban decay's naked palette... :'( !!
Hey, I was wondering what time are the collections released on the mac website. And, what products do you think will be selling out first?
Usually the Tuesday before the in-store date.
Do you know if the colour collection is going to launch online on Oct 26th? Or will it be the same as the store the 28th?
Around the 26th.
Thanks! I keep getting mixed messages. Even though I know it's usually the Tuesday before people keep saying it's going to be online the same day as the store launch, but I called MAC and they also said the 26th so I hope that is right.
This is now available if you are a pro member :) I placed my order earlier today
There are quite a few haul videos on Youtube now. Wish there were swatches of this stuff.. won't buy until I see.
Ok, so I'm already crying over the 2 weeks pay I will be handing over to MAC. I want almost everything! The bags....the pigments.....the eyeshadows............this collection is HUGE and so beautiful!!!!!!!!!
I have seen the collection and its amazing I'm already pre-ordering some items. For the eye kit that comes with a green pigment the fluidline is just black track not the blitz & glitz. Also the pink lip set isn't as pink as it looks on the website I was expecting a very nice soft pink but the lipstick looked more neutral than pink. The bags are amazing!
Okay maybe i'm the only one who thinks THIS COLLECTION LOOKS UGLY & BORING ......=(( ist it just me ??
Gee,I'm loving it...
Love this collection! i have a long list!! it will definitely kill my wallet(
Which of the pearlglide intense eyeliners do you recommend for green/ hazel eyes? Like which ONE would be the best one to get for that kind of eye colour? (open to everyone) please & thank you :)
I'm drooling all over the place for this collection! I love that you always have the most comprehensive info and pics for upcoming collections. Christine, I shared some of the product pics on my blog, hope you don't mind! (link here: http://cfbeauty.blogspot.com/2010/10/someone-slap-me-macs-tartan-tale.html)
omg!!!!!!!! I want soo many things, I will have to start saving from now to afford it all.
kinda peculiar but I quite like the look of the bags for the brush sets.
Does anybody know how long this collection will be out for?
OMG I found pictures of Moonlight Night and The Family Crest pigments and....they are so pretty no beautiful, I feel in love instantly. I can't wait to buy them:)
I saw the collection today @ MAC & I didn't really want anything... but the VG teddies
Ahhhh I am waiting to get that warm pigment set! I've never bought one before they seem so fun :)
just pre ordered the brush sets super happy...
i've actually already seen half of these in person lol. my friend at the my local MAC counter was so excited about this collection, she whipped out some boxes for me to drool over XD. dashing lassies palette is gorgeousssss<3
I WANT IT ALL o.O I'm crying with my wallet now.
There's a picture of Glamora Castle Eyeshadow in the November Lucky Magazine!
This might be my first MAC purchase ever - I'm really liking the looks of those lipglass sets and a couple of the palettes (and I really like the tartan). Will have to keep an eye on the Canadian MAC site for when it's released!
i saw this yesterday at bloomingdales on presale. the eyeliner pencils are great! they glide on so smoothly.
Hi Christine, Would you know whether or not this collection will be out earlier than what is expected, October 28th? I'm just curious. As always, thank you for your time & knowledge.
28th in-store, around the 26th online.
Hmm...surprisingly, not much is tempting me yet! I am curious to see pics of the lipsticks and plaid eyeshadows though. Christine: any idea on when you might have more details? FYI: Musings of a Muse has posted some pics of the plaid eyeshadows: http://www.musingsofamuse.com/2010/10/mac-tartan-tale-collection-for-holiday-2010-photos.html I wonder if the plaid is an overspray a la Marine Life?
hey christine, im wondering why you get to get some collections from mac before theyre released and swatch them in your blog whereas for some you have to buy them all yourself after the release date? and thanks to the existance of you and your blog we are able to view the swatches, really a great help! (: especially for us international people cause it launches later here ):
MAC does not usually send me products in advance, so there's not much I can do except buy them when they do come out. Sorry I can't help you! I think I have only had maybe 3-4 in advance in the past year, but typically that is not the case.
Found some images of the non-gift set portion of this collection: http://www.mango360.com/?action-viewnews-itemid-97243-page-2
This is going to be a WONDERFUL collection!
Do you know when the launch date for Canada is?
Always the same date as the U.S.!
When are the swatches and product pictures (done by you) going to be up? Thanks =)
Probably not until I'm able to purchase them!
Ooh bummer. Still excited anyways!
Looking forward to Cut-a-Caper and Mimmy lipglass, but don't want to buy the lipgloss set >>
I don't see it mentioned here, but there will also be a Viva Glam set that includes I believe a gloss and a lipstick (maybe a liner too? can't remember..) with an all red tartan plaid bag! Retails for about $30something
Thoughts on the quality of MAC nail lacquers? I've only purchased one... it was a black one from awhile back and I hated it! Wondering if they've improved? Love this collection so much and have already put my preorder in... it's so festive! And the colors are perfect for my complexion. A Wish Come True and Semi-Precious eyeshadows sound pretty, but I've become very anti-individual eyeshadows because I tend to lose them or forget which ones I actually own!
I like them, personally. I haven't had any issues with wear or application (overall!)!
Hi! Can anybodyy help me? Does anybody know will it be launched in Europe or it will be only US collection? It so beautiful, i'd like to buy few palettes. Thanks in advance!
I believe it will be launched, if not entirely for the most part, internationally. When I have official information, I will update to reflect that additional information.
I saw the whole collection today...everything looks soooo awesome....my wallet is steal healing from the venomous collection ;)
Hey, do you know when you get more information about the collection? I am so excited to see swatches.
I typically can't get any swatches until I'm able to purchase the products - same as anyone else. Sorry!
