first!
must…own…all!
Omg! So pretty!
But I bet it’ll cost a bomb here in Singapore );
Damn this stupid country and it’s complete lack of Nordstrom’s =[
well if ur canadian, then they are being released at the bay so dunt worry
, if not then sorry
Nice!!!!
is it?! thats amazing!
does that mean the palette from rose romance will be available at the bay too??
I *am* Canadian actually… lol but I live in England so I don’t think they’re coming here at all =[[
I 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!!
I’m pretty sure you could order them on Nordstrom.com. I may be wrong, but check it out!
I 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.
ALSO I completely sympathize. There’s no freestanding store in the city where I live either, just one counter in a Debenham’s. =[
I am jealous that you guys have ILLAMASQUA!!! The currency exchange is going to kill me when I order from them!
I’m excited to try Illamasqua!
Some of this stuff is on EBAY now. The palettes, lip sets and brush sets!
i work at the bay !!! im so excited !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice palettes! LOL @ Vix
the brushes look real small, anyone have an idea what’s their actual size?
they’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 :[
woot!
thats good news to me .i can pass on those bruses and get some more mac lol 
thanks for the info .
whew! 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
They are full size brushes with just smaller handles.
No, 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.
Have you felt them or compared to the origonal sizes? There is little difference besides the handles.
I 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.
It seems MAC comes out with a different collection every week! (apparently not here, though)
This looks beautiful. I want them!
second palette looks pretty okay.
can’t decide if i wanna skip or not.
eh..nothing is really striking my fancy. -_-
Oh wow! I want the brush set in the darker case!
OMG…I hope my birthday genie brings me EVERYTHING from this collection
ohhhhhhh! They are wonderful!!
These are SO for me! How exciting!
duuurn. i just wanted to see the look boxes, that’s what i’m interested in.
So pretty!! Thanks for sharing.
Ah, these are lovely! Anyone know if they’re going to be available in the UK at all? Anyone willing to CP them?
I was talking to a mac artist online on the american site and she said they’ll be availible in england in august she said to contact them with an email to see where it will be sold etc but they havn’t replyed i will keep u posted though!:)
Oh that’s cool, thanks!
Excellent
Thanks
x
This collection sounds so cool….i want it in the uk lol
silly question…do u think they’ll b on the uk mac site?
I want to know what colors are in the lip sets!!
*sigh* i thought of it much differently.
idk if i want this now.
This is the one i’ve been waiting for!! and yay for the Bay!! i was worried Canada wouldn’t be getting it
Pass…
super excited for this collection! a good range of different colors and a variety of things!
Hmm, loved some items !!!!!!
HEY!! YAY—-these look way better than the primary colored collection from last year. Color Forms? I didn’t buy anything from it. LOL.
okay i’m getting this whole lot .every item so far looks good .:)
*black and white and pink would have been better *.i love pink xD
oooo I can’t wait!!!
i collect the eyeshadow palettes so these I will have to pick up at The Bay.

I must still be sleepy and have two left hands… lol. left = fresh cut palette, right = graphic garden palette.
i agree, graphic garden palette is such a eyecatcher! must add that to my collection!
cant wait to see pics of the “LOOK BOXES”
Same here! That’s what I am most interested in atm!
Ohh… great… very classy.. and high gadget… Wonderfull!
OH 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!!
I *so* want the Fresh Cut palette !!
Those palettes look pretty! I’ll check them out when the collection is released!
Those little bags are very beautiful.
I *need* the pinks for summer time!!!!!
i NEED that palette on the right- or maybe the left. and the lipsticks on the left.
OMG, 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.
I have all of those LE brushes but really want those bags!
Beautiful packaging, I wish I could buy just the bags since I prefer the long handled brushes.
… 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)?
OH MA GAWD!!! I WANT I WANT I WANT! lol >_< I love the flowers <3
Im a sucker for eyeshadow sets and lip sets i have to get them all minus the brushes already have enough of those.
Lol I told myself I wouldn’t buy anything else for awhile after Style Warriors…doesn’t look like it will hold.
WOW, 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!
The 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.
The brushes I’m not too excited about, but the palettes look even better to me now! I’m so excited to get them!
packaging cute…surprisingly m not too excited…now i really want to see what comes in fall….like COC types…:)
Will this collection only be sold at Nordstrom?
yes only at nordstrom counters ;[ lol.
We can’t purchase this on the MAC website?
NOPE!!!
Awww that sucks :[
yay can’t wait to see some pics of those “look box” kits! thnks christine, please continue to keep us posted on this! :]
WANT IT ALL! Maybe I can skip on the brushes and get them at the CCO?
Like the first eyeshadow palette, but love the lip sets! Also love the packaging, hopefully we’ll get these over here *crosses fingers*
What about Nordstrom’s online? My closest Nordstrom is 5 hours away
.
yeah, you can get them at nordstrom online or in real life.
Thank you, thank you! I have been dying to see this collection for a while now and it did not disappoint me. Please keep us posted on the Look boxes when you get a sneak peek at those! I know I am in big trouble with this collection, I want one of everything.
i 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.
ooh! i like the purple/pinkish eyeshadow palette!
maybe the pink lipsticks too! cant wait for swatches and details!
the first eyeshadow palette looks nice, are the colors permanent?
hey can you start putting the product names with the promo photos of the actual products? i don’t like having to find your original post with the names. thanks! love the photos!
YAAAY finally! I’m so excited!
Ever since I tried the holiday ’08 palettes, I’ve really loooooved them. So as long as these don’t disappoint in color pay-off they’ll be mine!
Wow, this does look tempting, doesn’t it..
Sigh.
i want; but live in the uk.
Love this! I will be getting lots from this!
I think I’m getting a heartattack
Wow, I love the packaging!
Oh boy, I must get both palettes! I am thinking about taking the palette (the one on right) to vacation – it has green, blue, purple, grey smokey, highlight – what more could I want? lol
MAC, why are you doing this to me!! I am already broke!
Will they be released anywhere in Europe cause I really love this collection and will have to hunt it down if it doesn’t come out here in Finland. =[ but yep if anyone knows anything please tell me =]
Oh so pretty! I want both palettes, the pink lip set and maybe a brush set. Yea for The Bay! =)
Sitting lazy on my computer chair, browsing, and clicked on graphic garden thinking “there not showing much” and then all of a sudden i see more sneak peak photos, OMYGOSH! I WANT it all especially the brushes, all them, going gaga! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! lol! I hope to see the prices soon!
will this be available in the uk?
I never buy makeup bags but I think I may have to get one of these – I love the rose design one.
I just talked to a SA in the Bay this morning and they will be released July 17th and they will apparently be getting all the brush/eye/and lip sets not 100% on the look boxes though…
this is 1 collection i am goin 2 save up for i want alll of it
OMG I luv the package
Meh take it or leave it i i get something i have something if not i don’t.
I love all of it! Aughhhh!!!!
how much for these babies?
wow so nice man….
Must have eye palettes
)))))
omg!
love them all!
how much do they cost ???
and when are they coming out?
July, check the beginning of the post – it has a link to the info!
love the lipsticks on the right and the eyeshadow palette on the left!
It’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?????
What will the prices be like for the eyeshadows? $40 like the xmas ones?
Yes, similar to that!
I 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!
I will definitely be getting the eye palettes….I love the Veluxe Pearl finishes.
i loveeeeee this packaging!!!!
Most likely just buy all the lipsticks and lipglosses!
Are they gonna be available in The Bay, someone answer me, plz!!!!!!!!!
I believe so!
Hmmm, 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.
i probably wouldnt buy any of these for myself. but they make good presents for my mom though
i 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… =]
Thanks so much for sharing
when is this coming out ?
thanks
July 17th!
please help me out! anyone! what should i ask for for my good grades gift- mac’s graphic garden or the occ lip tars?
Do 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!
I 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… =]
LOL! Sounds like you have a lot of thinking to do!
Oh, not a lot of thinking. Just a LOT of saving.
True
Are YOU thinking of getting anything from this collection based on these preliminary photos?
Not sure – the packaging doesn’t draw me in at all! I’m just gonna have to see it all in person!
i believe it is going international to all partnered locations. So pretty much everywhere they sell mac thats not a mac freestanding store
I hope so!
I’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!
Awesome!!
It’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…
Wow, awesome for you all!
omg i am getting the entire collection aside from the boxed looks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, wow!!
I want the Graphic Garden palette, but am a bit disappointed in the lip shades. More variations on the same pink and beige.
omg, i live in Denmark,it sucks that mac stuff is twice as expensive here, but it sucks more that i cant get this collection :’(
