The Graphic Garden collection will be released on the 17th of August in Australia (I checked with my MAC MA). I can't wait for it either!

I was wondering if this will be available in Canada? Or on the mac canadian website?! I know it says the bay.. But I'm still kinda .. ehh.. about that =\ Help! I really really want a lot of this!!

Eye Shadow 6 Palette~~love love love the packag~!!they only sell it in Nordstrom?

Gawshh I want the lip sets and the look boxesss EEKKKK Lets start saving ahahhaha ^_______^ Im just going to get this for my b-day since its on julyy lol YAY! WISHLIST: Both lip sets Seductress Look Box Sun Siren Look Box

definitely getting the graphic garden palette, summer crop lip bag, and sweet tease look in a box.

Awesome! Sounds like a good haul to me, Christina!

I was wondering if the Launch date of July 9, was for canada or just the states

Might be just for Canada, actually.

I totally want the seductress look boxes... oh wait, they're palletes? I don't like that.

The Look Boxes aren't palettes.

This whole collection is about $450! Time to start saving ladies! I'm so excited the packeging sounds so cute!

is it going to be possible to get this in the uk??

Hey does anyone know if you can shop online at Nordstrom for this collection? I live in Cananda so obviosuly we don't have this launch

I WANT THE SEDUCTRESS LOOK BOX- B/C I DONT HAVE ANYTHING FROM THAT!

Okay silly question...It says this is for the Nordstrom Anniversary...does this mean this collection is only available at Nordstrom...I hope not as i dont have a Nordstrom in the uk...Mind you it would save my wallet lol

I've heard it will be releasing elsewhere, but I'm not sure.

I want to try Sun Siren or maybe all.

really want to see the brushes sets !!

I would love to win the “On A Mission” blush!!! I just started wearing makeup a year ago and quickly became an addict!!! I love MAC and since I have started wearing MAC the “Style Warrior” collection is the SEXIEST AND FIERCEST collection this far! I want it all!!! Also, I am an animal print fanatic and this collection fits my personality to the “T”!!! Love it!

Will this collection only be sold at Nordstrom?

I'm excited about the e/s palettes! Maybe the lip bags too!

I will wait to see the pic

so do the look boxes contain all the full size mac products for that one price? or are they minis or in palettes? i dont get it ?

I believe they are in palettes!

i <3 the idea of premade boxies! :D

im really hoping that this collection is available in canada (even though i know it says above available @ the bay) but i soo wanted the quad from the rose romance collection, it is not available at the bay, i asked them & they told me they wont be getting it. i had read somewhere it was going to be available at the bay, but too bad. :(

its at nordstrom.com- checked today

where exactly is at on nordstrom's website? I can't find it!

These aren't up yet on Nordstrom's site.

I work at the fragrance counter at the bay and i'm always at mac, i highly doubt that they'll be available in canada but nordstorm ships to canada, u just have to call a special toll free number

what does a 181 brush look like?

A SA told me these brush sets are mass produced by machine, and the regular brushes are handmade. She also told me the quality of the sets is not as high as the regular brushes. I think this is true, I have a 217 brush from the Holiday Collection (The red brushes), and a regular 217 brush, in my opinion the regular 217 brush is so much softer and nicer.

I liked the brush sets better from last year. The 219 was included instead of the 194. I need to get my hands on one of those...

does promotional size mean the se one? will it be just as good as the normal one?

I'm not sure for this launch, Alexa!

will you be able to buy them at mac counters or on the mac website?

Nordstrom counters, yes!

I can't wait for the pictures! I'm excited for this collection! :)

i've always wanted the 181... glad i can get it in these kits... and a mini mascara is great for on the go!

i want the eye and face sets (i'll pass on the lip sets). July is gonna be pricey. But these kits have some of the permanent collection shadows i have always wanted! cant wait.

I want the Sun Siren Look Box. Mathematically, is it worth it? lol

will this collection be available in europe?

I've heard it will be, but I don't know for sure.

Sounds great !! Hopefully we get a large part of this collection in the Netherlands, just like last year :)

I need this collection!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!!! Brush set both eye pallet and the last set. Ommgggggg & I can't wait for colour craft either!!! July will be my demise!!!! Can't wait!!!! Woohooo!!!!

I can't wait for the pics! Sounds like the look boxes are quite a deal. But then, I would have to see the pics first! lol By the way does anyone have any idea about the whereabouts of the rose romance nordstrom exclusive quad online? I've been looking for it everywhere but nowhere on nordstrom.com shows it. And that makes me sad.

yeah i just looked today and it on the site under mac eyes

I can't wait to see the pictures!!!!!!!!!
