Ann
Sunday, May 24, 2009first!
must…own…all!
Tasha Sari
Sunday, May 24, 2009Omg! So pretty!
But I bet it’ll cost a bomb here in Singapore );
Vix
Sunday, May 24, 2009Damn this stupid country and it’s complete lack of Nordstrom’s =[
felicia
Sunday, May 24, 2009well if ur canadian, then they are being released at the bay so dunt worry :), if not then sorry
Andrea
Sunday, May 24, 2009Nice!!!!
Evelyn
Monday, May 25, 2009is it?! thats amazing!
does that mean the palette from rose romance will be available at the bay too??
Vix
Monday, May 25, 2009I *am* Canadian actually… lol but I live in England so I don’t think they’re coming here at all =[[
BabyDollB
Sunday, May 31, 2009I live in England too and I can guarantee we won’t get the collection over here! :( Ggrr I really like the pallets too..
America is SOOOOO lucky they get all the best MAC things. We don’t even have a free standing store where I live, jst 2 in dept stores!!
MC
Tuesday, June 2, 2009I’m pretty sure you could order them on Nordstrom.com. I may be wrong, but check it out!
Vix
Wednesday, June 3, 2009I know, it totally sucks doesn’t it? All the best stuff comes out over there but not here. Damn you, England!
If I trusted my family, I’d send them money and get them to buy the things I want from The Bay and just pick it up when I go visit them in Canada in September but… chances are high I’d never see the makeup or the money again haha.
Heartbroken, those eyeshadow palettes look amazing! And I’m in LUST with the packaging.
Vix
Wednesday, June 3, 2009ALSO I completely sympathize. There’s no freestanding store in the city where I live either, just one counter in a Debenham’s. =[
Amber
Monday, June 15, 2009I am jealous that you guys have ILLAMASQUA!!! The currency exchange is going to kill me when I order from them!
Christine
Wednesday, June 17, 2009I’m excited to try Illamasqua!
Tattoo Girl
Thursday, July 16, 2009Some of this stuff is on EBAY now. The palettes, lip sets and brush sets!
M.
Tuesday, May 26, 2009i work at the bay !!! im so excited !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cx
Sunday, May 24, 2009Nice palettes! LOL @ Vix
felicia
Sunday, May 24, 2009the brushes look real small, anyone have an idea what’s their actual size?
Shanel
Sunday, May 24, 2009they’re special edition size brushes! therefore, they have short handles & also made in the factory for the masses. NOT handmade like the longer handle original mac brushes! the factory made brushes feel real different then the full sized handmade ones! you might find some mac se’s to feel really fake & won’t give the same finish as the handmade ones :[
MACLOVE1
Monday, May 25, 2009woot! :) thats good news to me .i can pass on those bruses and get some more mac lol :) thanks for the info .
laurie&laurie
Saturday, May 30, 2009whew! i was so worried, that i would not be able to get those super cheap brush sets while all you people with nordstroms get it :D
juligirl
Thursday, June 11, 2009They are full size brushes with just smaller handles.
Natalie
Thursday, June 11, 2009No, the brushes are not the full size ones with short handles. As Shanel above said, you don’t get the same quality as the full size ones.
juligirl
Wednesday, June 17, 2009Have you felt them or compared to the origonal sizes? There is little difference besides the handles.
Christine
Wednesday, June 17, 2009I haven’t felt these particular brushes myself yet, but in general, brush sets like these are considered special edition brushes. They’re man made as opposed to hand made (like the full-sized versions), so they’re not as soft, have a bit of variation, and may shed more. They’re good for the price (though I do feel they’ve gone downhill a bit in the past two years), but I don’t feel that they’re the same as full sized brushes at all. I have bought full sized brushes of all of the brush set brushes I have.
Roxanne
Sunday, May 24, 2009It seems MAC comes out with a different collection every week! (apparently not here, though)
smiley13tree

kat
Sunday, May 24, 2009OH WOW! Great packaging! I told myself I wouldn’t be buying any more MAC until I start using up my old stuff, but I’m not sure if I can pass up that pink palette…. so pretty!!
Miss_M

Sasha B
Sunday, May 24, 2009i NEED that palette on the right- or maybe the left. and the lipsticks on the left.
Skyler
Sunday, May 24, 2009OMG, I love the packaging! Reminds me of Kat Von D’s line. The collection title is certainly fitting! I can’t wait for these. That warm palette on the left is stunning. Wow. Hopefully I can find someone buying both brush sets who doesn’t want the bags. :P I have all of those LE brushes but really want those bags!
Leah
Sunday, May 24, 2009Beautiful packaging, I wish I could buy just the bags since I prefer the long handled brushes.
Lix
Sunday, May 24, 2009… is it just me or does e/s palette on the right have pretty much the same color scheme as the HK Wild e/s palette (pink, teal, nude and black)?
Sanny
Sunday, May 24, 2009OH MA GAWD!!! I WANT I WANT I WANT! lol >_< I love the flowers <3
lisa
Sunday, May 24, 2009Im a sucker for eyeshadow sets and lip sets i have to get them all minus the brushes already have enough of those.
Becca
Sunday, May 24, 2009Lol I told myself I wouldn’t buy anything else for awhile after Style Warriors…doesn’t look like it will hold.
Summer
Sunday, May 24, 2009WOW, I was so excited when i saw this at first befor i saw the pics i was goin to the fresh cut palette but now i want the graphic garden palette! and The brush set with the 187 in it and the baby blooms lip bag!
Catherine
Sunday, May 24, 2009The first thing I thought when I saw this was thank god this doesn’t come out until July!
I definitely want both eyeshadow palettes and probably a brush set. Not sure about the lip sets, yet… will have to wait on swatches.
Laycca
Sunday, May 24, 2009The brushes I’m not too excited about, but the palettes look even better to me now! I’m so excited to get them!

Tatiana
Sunday, May 24, 2009i hope this collection will be on there website because i don’t have a nordstrom near me at all. If anyone lives in New York City that know where a nordstrom is let me know or in jeresy city.

Beverly
Thursday, May 28, 2009It’s soooooo pretty!!!!!!! I can’t wait for this collection! I WANT IT ALL!
MAC is awesome but makes my wallet sad. For all of these upcomming collections I need over $1000! What is the easiest way for a 13 year old to make a lot of money really fast?????
Alyssa
Thursday, May 28, 2009What will the prices be like for the eyeshadows? $40 like the xmas ones?
Christine
Thursday, May 28, 2009Yes, similar to that!
L. U.
Thursday, May 28, 2009I actually was already excited about this collection, and now I found out a relative of mine works at Nordstrom! So I won’t have to worry about not having one anywhere near me and paying shipping for the online order! =D
I am really excited about the graphic garden palette and 38 seems like a pretty fair price for MAC!
Brightness
Friday, May 29, 2009I will definitely be getting the eye palettes….I love the Veluxe Pearl finishes.
shelly
Saturday, May 30, 2009i loveeeeee this packaging!!!!
Honey
Sunday, May 31, 2009Most likely just buy all the lipsticks and lipglosses!
kathylulu
Monday, June 1, 2009Are they gonna be available in The Bay, someone answer me, plz!!!!!!!!!
Christine
Tuesday, June 2, 2009I believe so!
Leah
Wednesday, June 3, 2009Hmmm, I like the first pallete but i dont think id ever use those colors together.. I hate when people do that. Or is it just me HAHA :) But I Lo0o0ove the packaging my whole apartment is black and white like that.
irene
Wednesday, June 3, 2009i probably wouldnt buy any of these for myself. but they make good presents for my mom though
MiSSxCiNDERELLY
Saturday, June 6, 2009i JUST CAME BACK FROM MY NORDSTROM MAC COUNTER AND PLACED MY PRE-ORDER. i GOT THE SHAPE & PERFECT BAG AND THE BABY BLOOMS LiP BAG.
THE LOOK BOXES WERE ACTUALLY PRETTY NICE. (i SAW PiCS ONLY) THEY HAVE A BRONZE LOOK, PiNKiSH LOOK & A SMOKEY LOOK. EACH LOOK HAS A VARiETY OF THiNGS iNCLUDED. SUCH AS BLUSH, LiP GLASS, LiPSTiCK, EYESHADOWS, ETC. i DiDN’T PLACE A PRE-ORDER FOR THEM CUZ i FEEL LiKE iF i LiKED ANY OF THEM, i COULD JUST GET THEM iNDiViDUALLY. i DiDN’T LiKE EVERYTHiNG THAT WAS iNCLUDED iN ONE LOOK SO iTS JUST NOT WORTH iT TO ME. BUT DEFiNiTELY PRETTY STUFF THOUGH! JUST MY OPiNiON… =]
Christine
Thursday, June 11, 2009Thanks so much for sharing :D
kathy
Sunday, June 7, 2009when is this coming out ?
thanks :)
Christine
Thursday, June 11, 2009July 17th!
Christina
Saturday, June 13, 2009please help me out! anyone! what should i ask for for my good grades gift- mac’s graphic garden or the occ lip tars?
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009Do you wear lipstick a lot? Do you think you’d actually mix your own lip colors? Is that something you’d find fun? If yes to those, then I’d say Lip Tars — especially if you already have MAC eyeshadows and the like!
MC
Saturday, June 13, 2009I just want them ALL. They’re just such good deals! Especially the brush sets. I may be able to skip on the eye shadows, mainly because I have something comparable to most of the colors… but maybe I’ll get the warmer one just for the packaging. And you can never have too many neutral lipsticks/lipglosses, so I’ll HAVE to buy those… =]
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009LOL! Sounds like you have a lot of thinking to do!
MC
Saturday, June 13, 2009Oh, not a lot of thinking. Just a LOT of saving.
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009True ;)
MC
Saturday, June 13, 2009Are YOU thinking of getting anything from this collection based on these preliminary photos?
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009Not sure – the packaging doesn’t draw me in at all! I’m just gonna have to see it all in person!
Jon
Monday, June 15, 2009i believe it is going international to all partnered locations. So pretty much everywhere they sell mac thats not a mac freestanding store
Christine
Wednesday, June 17, 2009I hope so!
sugarcrumb
Saturday, June 20, 2009I’ve got the Graphic Garden Palette! its gorgeous!!! I was surprised they were carrying it here in SG since it was a Nordies Anniversary exclusive but its gorgeous! yeeha!
Christine
Monday, June 29, 2009Awesome!!
Angie
Sunday, June 21, 2009It’s already on sale in MAC Singapore stores. I would say the 187SE is really not bad! And the cool palette is really pretty too…
Christine
Monday, June 29, 2009Wow, awesome for you all!
Brandi
Monday, June 22, 2009omg i am getting the entire collection aside from the boxed looks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Christine
Monday, June 29, 2009Oh, wow!!
Kate
Thursday, June 25, 2009I want the Graphic Garden palette, but am a bit disappointed in the lip shades. More variations on the same pink and beige.
Mette
Tuesday, July 14, 2009omg, i live in Denmark,it sucks that mac stuff is twice as expensive here, but it sucks more that i cant get this collection :’(
