Pretty!
Are the Color Form Powders meant to be blushes? Or highlighters?
And would you be able to give any hints as to the texture of the richmetal highlighters?
Christine
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Hey Maggie! I believe they are meant to be a combination product, so you could use everything together or just individual colors, so depending on the color of the four and your skin tone, it could be a blush or highlighter or even both!
The Richmetal highlighters have come out before with Couture and Stylistics, actually! They’re subtle, cream to powder products from what I remember. I didn’t love them, so we’ll see. I hope these are more pigmented.

I seriously hate MAC…for a high school student with no job. Grr, I need a job to save up for all the collections! xD
Christine

Oh god, that is a tough nut to crack!!

question -
I normally buy all my MAC items at the freestanding store because I get a Pro discount which I cant use at Nordies. That said, I am really digging a couple of the pigments from this collection. Is it worth it for me to pass up my discount and buy these pigments at Nordies? OR should I wait for these LE pigments to make their run in another collection that will be available at a Pro MAC store? It just seems like MAC is doing LE so often that these pigments might show up in another LE run that is not Nordies exclusive.
Christine
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Hey Tanya! I told you this via email, but quick summary: Jardin Aires has come out multiple times, Steel Blue is PRO anyway. Only a couple pigments get repeated, and they’re usually highlighter kind of colors.

OMG those lipsticks look AWESOME!!! God I really need to do some depotting and pray that I get some of them for Back to MAC. This collection is going to make me go broke, AGAIN. The idea of one color on the outside and another on the inside sounds really cool. The powders and pigments are cool too!
Christine
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
LOL! I should do some depotting too!!
It kind of sounds like the Rushmetal lipsticks, which had the gold sheen on the outside, then regular color on the inside - though I hope this is less a coating as it is an actual outer edge!
Susanne

This is awesome!
Christine

Definitely, Susanne!

Aw what a great collection, thankfully theres nothing there that I just HAVE to have because I can’t get hold of it anyway. Ha, not living in the US saves me money :)
Christine
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
I adore new pigments! But I have heard it’s going internationally!
bart
Saturday, April 26, 2008
Does anyone have any idea about possible international releases (with novel twist there was some confusion about the nordstrom exclusivity)?
And I’m really curious about the Richmetal highlighters … will they be MetalX like, or powdery, or just glittery….
Christine
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
I’ve heard murmurs that it will be going international! They’re like the Richmetal highlighters from Couture and Stylistics.
Sandy
Saturday, April 26, 2008
wow, my mouth is seriousely watering looking at these babies!! I really like the lippies, the e/s palettes and the pigments. I start saving now, we’re getting these in Canada (the Bay) on July 11th :)
Christine
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Ohh, nice! I can’t wait to check out the lipsticks!
Thalia
Saturday, April 26, 2008
Is it just me, or does it sound like the lipsticks have two separate colours in each tube? They’re all described with an ‘outer edge’ colour, followed by a sheer colour on the inside.
Christine
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Yep, I think that’s what they’re supposed to look like!

Pauline

I am so lemming the pigments! But I don’t have a Nordies near me :( Can anyone tell me if these will be sold on the MAC website? Or even the Nordstrom website? Thanks!
Christine
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Me too, Pauline! They will definitely be on the Nordies site!
Stacey
Saturday, April 26, 2008
Waaaah! We’re not getting the collection my MA told me, just the palettes and brush sets. I was so looking forward to more pigments!!
Christine
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Oh no :( It should be online, though, at least for sure on the Nordies site!
Val
Saturday, April 26, 2008
I’m drooling over the pigments as well. I’m eyeing the 5 basic sets, I want to try out the 224 and 242 brush. I wonder what the prices are for Canada. I gotta start saving up before they arrive at The Bay!
Christine
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
I’m allll about the pigments!! I think they’re like $56-59 Canadian!

Will any of this be available in the UK??
Christine
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
I have heard rumors that it will be, Shar!

Thank you so much for the pics. I was debating on the Colour Form Powders, and and lipsticks. Man, it’s a good thing that lately some of the collections have been meh to me, because this one is going to make me broke ;D.
Christine
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
No problem, Kaoru!

This must be the collection being released for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale - they only have those palettes and brush sets 2x a year - the anniversary sale and the holidays.
Yay!
Christine
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Yep, it is for their anniversary sale :)
Erin
Sunday, April 27, 2008
Ha, thank god I’ll be out of the country when this comes out.

LOL, saved your wallet’s life? :D
Ariele

Any idea how much the Color Form Powder & Richmetal Highlighters will cost?
I love the new lipsticks too… with a shimmery core. Should be interesting.
Christine
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Hey Ariele!
I believe the Richmetal highlighters are $16.50, and the Colour Form powders are $24.50!
Danielle

Have the powders a special packaging?
Christine
Thursday, May 1, 2008
They’re a new product, but not special packaging from what I can tell.
Susanne
Friday, May 2, 2008
Thanks Christine!
And can you say how the Colour Forms Powders compare to the MSFs?
Christine
Friday, May 2, 2008
Hey Susanne! I haven’t seen them, but they’re not baked so they’re still going to be quite different. From what I can tell and what I’ve heard, it’s basically a quad of powders to be used on eyes or cheeks.
Susanne
Sunday, May 4, 2008
Thanks Christine, also for the great pictures :)

i tell you what.
living in the uk can be a bloody pain at times.
i’m waiting for my pro card to arrive. are the eyeshadow pans the same price as the eyeshadow pots? that might be a retarded question :S heyho. also, how long dyou reckon it’ll take for my pro card to arrive? i’m so impatient.
Christine
Thursday, May 8, 2008
I’ve heard that when you see them take money out for your PRO card… you’ll get it soon after.

Pigments are a maybe, but that warm pallet is a must have! Thanks for the info!
Christine
Thursday, May 22, 2008
I’m totally intrigued by the lipsticks myself!
Aeyrah
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
Hey Christine! Do you know if these will be available for online purchase at Nordstom? I’m out of town for the launch and want these palettes badly!!
Christine
Thursday, May 29, 2008
I do believe they will be. Even if not, you can definitely call up your local Nordies (or any, probably) and do a charge-send (where they’ll ship it to you). I also think they’ll be taking pre-orders, so you can pre-pay, they set aside your goodies, and then you pick it up.
Aeyrah
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
One other thing, any approximate prices on all these products?
Christine
Thursday, May 29, 2008
Eye palettes will be $38, lip palettes will be $22.50, brush sets are $49.50, richmetal highlighters will be $16.50, and the powder will be $24.50.
Bianca
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
I love the idea of the lipsticks and the color formed powders. Also getting my hands on the jardin aires pigment is great since they didn’t bring heatherette to Mexico!!! grrr!! But they do bring the Nordstroms stuff, go figure!! And I know so because with the NN they brought the Soweaways quad. So, YAY!!! Now i have time to save money since they’ll probably release it here in august.
Christine
Thursday, May 29, 2008
Me too, Bianca! Can’t wait to try them both :)
How weird that Nordstrom’s exclusive comes your way, but not Heatherette.
Kymberly
Friday, May 30, 2008
I wish they’d give Jardin Aires a rest.
Christine
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
LOL, me too ;P Well, don’t re-release it TWICE in six months!
Paula
Monday, June 16, 2008
So do the brushes come in that small case type thing? Or do they come in that plus the bag thing? I am confused by the way the pics look. Can you or someone else give more info on that? Thanks!
Christine
Monday, June 16, 2008
Hey Paula! Each brush set does come with a bag/holder of some sort.

Hey Christine,
Do you think the brush sets are worth it? Is the quality the same?
Christine
Wednesday, June 18, 2008
I think they’re worth it, especially if you don’t have the budget to lay money down on full size brushes. They’re also great if you travel a lot — they’re compact, but since they’re cheaper, you have less risk in carrying them.
The quality is a little lower, but I don’t find that it’s so low that they’re not worth it, IMO.
