MAC Graphic Garden Sneak Peek Photos
Hey all! Are you gearing up for Nordstrom’s Anniversary Exclusives? It’s one of the best times for beauty products at Nordstrom, because of all of the exclusives, gift with purchases, and “stock up” sizes. MAC always puts out an exclusive set of products for their anniversary, and this year is no different with Graphic Garden.
Pictured above is the Graphic Garden Cool Eye Palette and Graphic Garden Warm Eye Palette. Each will retail for $35.00. The Cool Eye Palette will contain Social Climber, Botanical Blue, Straight Hedge, Wild Wisteria, Linear Lilac, and Graphic Garden. The Warm Eye Palette will contain Floral Inc., Sun-Shy, Fresh Cut, Poppy Noir, Bloomcycle, and Part Peony. You can read up on full details of all of the product sets/kits coming out with Graphic Garden here.
We also want to share with you a look at Sweet Tease Look In A Box contains Shell Pearl Beauty Powder, Gleam eyeshadow, Mulch eyeshadow, Love Nectar lustreglass, Zoomlash mascara in Zoomblack, and a 181 brush. There are three different “Look In A Box” offerings, and each will retail for $59.50. Each includes two full-sized eyeshadows and lipgloss, and then a miniature size Zoomlash mascara and 181 brush.
See Look In A Box!

Tuesday, June 9, 2009
Oh yes – you use the right words!!!! ;-))
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Awesome! Which ones are you going to get?
Monday, June 8, 2009
It’s really making me mad that there are still no color descriptions for the palettes. Damn MAC!
Wednesday, June 10, 2009
The Graphic Garden Shadow Pallettes have all new colors in them put together just for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Thanks for the heads up!
Thursday, June 11, 2009
I don’t even know if palettes usually get color descriptions, actually!
Monday, June 8, 2009
Oh, lovely ! Christine, we need swatches !!!
I can’t wait to see the lipstick bag. Thanks for the info !
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Soon enough, I hope!
Monday, June 8, 2009
i am so getting the sweet tease look box!:)
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Awesome!
Monday, June 8, 2009
The look boxes are amazing! I hope I can find some on ebay
Thursday, June 11, 2009
I hope you can :)
Monday, June 8, 2009
Sooo gorge! Thank you! Will this be available at The Bay stores in Canada by anyyy channcccce? Prob not cause its NORDSTROMS anniversary, right? :\
Monday, June 8, 2009
Hey Teresa,
I’m pretty sure these are coming out at the Bay. Last time I was at Mac the MUA mentioned that Limited Edition brush sets were coming out in the summer, so I think Graphic Garden should be at the Bay! They usually have the Nordstrom exclusive releases. If not, Nordies now ships to Canada!
Monday, June 8, 2009
Yes there are coming at the BAY. My MUA told me to preorder as soon as I had made up my mind, which seems to be very difficult!
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Yes, they will be at The Bay!
Monday, June 8, 2009
the palettes look pretty…but sadly not likely to be available in the uk?
Tuesday, June 9, 2009
Oh no :( I really do hope they will be available to those living in the UK! I really want to check out the Look boxes!
Thursday, June 11, 2009
I’ve heard Selfridges will have it!
Thursday, June 11, 2009
I think at Selfridges they will be.
Monday, June 8, 2009
Thank goodness for my wallet. I don’t like anything really. Skipsies!
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Yay for you, Aubree :D
Monday, June 8, 2009
WOW!!! The Sweet Tease Look Box looks amazing!!!!
Thursday, June 11, 2009
I agree!
Monday, June 8, 2009
I saw them at Nordstrom, not to excited bout the box sets a bit pricey in my opinion, tho the new collection shadows look great
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Nice! Lucky you to have seen ‘em!
Monday, June 8, 2009
I am droooolinggg . I want them ALL! so beautifull
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Can’t wait to see these in person!
Monday, June 8, 2009
I like the look of the first palette but I don’t know because I really like some of the guerlain palettes coming in august so I might have to save my money for those. We’ll see but I can’t wait for swatches!
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Guerlain is probably worth the wait, just from my past experience!
Monday, June 8, 2009
Wow, I love that garden box!
Thursday, June 11, 2009
I think those are fab!
Monday, June 8, 2009
hi I was just wondering will this collection be available only in the us?
:)
Thursday, June 11, 2009
The Bay will get it, and I think Selfridges.
Monday, June 8, 2009
Im not feeling the palettes too much, some of the colors I already have are very close to it. But I am deffinetly going to grab at least 1(or 2) Look In the Box, they look so pretty and a lot of those I dont have yet, and well worth the price for all of the products in it(especially some being full size) Cant wait! =D
Thursday, June 11, 2009
I’ll have to see the palettes in person to decide how I feel!
Monday, June 8, 2009
Info for Canadians: I talked to a MUA yesterday and she confirmed all of this will be available at the Bay, including the look boxes!
Monday, June 8, 2009
I cant wait!
definitely picking up that look box as well as the cool eyes palette.
urghh. i cant believe they release this the same day as the one with the MSF’s =(
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Awww! I know :(
Thursday, June 11, 2009
What MSFs? i’m abit lost here.
Saturday, June 13, 2009
There aren’t any MSFs with this launch as far as I know!
Sunday, June 28, 2009
An “MSF” is a Mineralize Skin Finish. They come as blushes, contouring things, and highlighters, as well as a baked mineral foundation. That is called a Mineralize Skin Finish Natural. I hope this helps!
p.s. I totally recommend these! But if you don’t like a bit of shimmer, you probably won’t like them. But the MSF Naturals dont have any.
:)
Monday, June 8, 2009
UGH! I want, no scratch that, I NEED all of the look boxes!
scratch that statement even, I need EVERYTHING from this collection. By far this is one of the most impressive collections I’ve seen in a while. The packaging is fun, the colors are pretty, ugh it’s the whole package.
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Uh oh, Jamie!
Monday, June 8, 2009
want want want WANT the look box!
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Those are definitely a great value!
Monday, June 8, 2009
when is this coming out ?
im so excited !
Thursday, June 11, 2009
July 17th!
Monday, June 8, 2009
There’s no way to get these in Canada hey?
=(
Monday, June 8, 2009
They said they’ll be available at The Bay. :)
Thursday, June 11, 2009
The Bay will have them.
Thursday, June 11, 2009
my local Bay counter is taking pre-orders!!! check with yours i was told the look boxes will be about $70 cdn
Monday, June 8, 2009
I am so looking forward to buying all of these!
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Sounds like you’ll have some great new goodies, Lisa!
Monday, June 8, 2009
The look boxes are so cute and innovative!!! A little pricey, tho….but sort of a bargain if you add up all the prices of the individual products. I’m so glad that they’re bringing back the 181 and I LOVE THE FLORAL PACKAGING FOR THIS COLLECTION :D
Thursday, June 11, 2009
They’re not really pricey considering it’s a value set, actually! :)
Monday, June 8, 2009
when is this coming out online? would there be pre-order? i’m so dead.
Monday, June 8, 2009
I have to admit that I’m I’m underwhelmed by those palettes right now and I am actually REALLY glad about it!
I am discovering right now that I always buy palettes and I only ever use one or two shades from the palettes. I didn’t need to be tempted with more beautiful palette releases and I was worried about Graphic Garden, but given that photo – those colors don’t really look very “me” anyways so… phew!
The look in a box seems too warm for me – this is all very good news in my book lol. Now I can keep scrimping and saving for those beautiful sheer lip conditioners that are coming out this summer (I want ALL of them!).
Thursday, June 11, 2009
For me, it’ll depend on seeing ‘em in person. All about texture :)
Monday, June 8, 2009
I’m super excited! I’m getting both eyeshadow palettes and the sweet tease look in a box for sure. I’ll wait for more pictures to decide on the other sets. But it looks like I better start saving either way! haha
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Very nice! I hope you like everything!
Monday, June 8, 2009
how do people feel about the 181SE?
last time i picked up a holiday SE brush set, the quality was way below par from the reg. brushes.. to the point that for me, they were unusable..
Monday, June 8, 2009
i would also like to know! i agree the SE brush sets are manufactured not hand made and they are not the same bristles, handles or ferrels – i keep them in my purse makeup bag for application or touch ups on the go but wouldnt use them for my everyday application – the bristles are somewhat coarse and scratchy. I already have the 182 from the regular line… if this 181se is the same bristles i will be in love and get this for sure. I assume its smaller than the 182 as well… ie for blush/bronzer? if anyone has it please share your thoughts likes/dislikes.
Monday, June 8, 2009
the 181se is just a smaller version on the 182, same quality
i do agree some brushes that come in the sets are not made as well as the regular
Thursday, June 11, 2009
I think it’s OK. It’s not bad for what you get, and considering how pricey it is, it’s decent.
Monday, June 8, 2009
ooh! i am excited!
Monday, June 8, 2009
I can not wait for the look boxes! xP
Thursday, June 11, 2009
They are great for value!
Monday, June 8, 2009
That Sweet Tease Look In A Box is to die for! I’m definitely gonna have to tale a look at that.
Thursday, June 11, 2009
I love the Look Boxes!
Monday, June 8, 2009
I already preordered the warm eye palette =)
I’m interested in the look boxes too- do they have beauty powders or blushes as well?
Monday, June 8, 2009
well, never mind. i just read the full details post, you answered my question before I even asked it =)
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Awesome! Glad you got to preorder already!
Monday, June 8, 2009
I want to pick up another 181SE. but its not sold seperately right?
pre order can only be done at the stores now?
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Nope, it’s not, as far as I know!
Apparently you can pre order in stores right now.
Monday, June 8, 2009
i am saving up already and getting alot yay
Thursday, June 11, 2009
What are you gonna get, Kalisa?
Tuesday, June 9, 2009
Is the Sweet Tease Look box avaliable in the UK ?
Thursday, June 11, 2009
I think at Selfridges.
Tuesday, June 9, 2009
They’re nice but the only thing I really cave into are the Holiday Brush Sets. I never bought a palette or even own one but I do prefer just eye shadow singles and such. I really need to get an eye shadow palette holder though so I don’t have to carry around all my shadows but don’t know how or where to get one since I don’t have a credit card and my MAC is closing on Saturday but they don’t even sell them to begin with. =(
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Sucks about your MAC closing! :(
Tuesday, June 9, 2009
hey, does Nordstrom hold items at the counter? because i’m going to be on vacation and my friend is going when it comes out and i told her to tell the nordstrom mac counter to hold a few items under my name. can she do that?
Tuesday, June 9, 2009
Yes they can do that as long as they hold your credit card info so they can charge it to your account once the collection come out. It’s basically a “pre-order”.
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Preorder and they’ll hold ‘em for you.
Wednesday, June 10, 2009
WHERE DO I GET THE MONEY FOR THIS DURING THIS RECESSSSSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNN???????????!!!!!!!!!!
Thursday, June 11, 2009
:( Aw!
Thursday, June 11, 2009
I have a question..are the look boxes 49.50 or 59.50 because there’s some other info that says that it’s 59.50 while this page says it’s 59.50..I’m so confused! help?
Thursday, June 18, 2009
They are $59.50. I pre-ordered them at that price @ the counter.
Friday, June 12, 2009
The palettes are absolutely a must have for me….i don’t have a nordstrom near me… i wonder if they will be selling them online as well????
Saturday, June 13, 2009
They should sell them online!
Thursday, June 18, 2009
You can call and pre-order them over the phone.
Friday, June 12, 2009
Omg when does this come out in americaa ?? :P cos i really want a pallete the more down toned one orr the lipglass or the powder wow im gunna have to save up im in the uk so it’ll take time to come out :P
Saturday, June 13, 2009
July 17th :)
Friday, June 12, 2009
I saw these today at Nordstrom’s. They are AMAZING!! the pictures do not do justice to the colors. I pre-ordered the Fresh Cut palette which is the one with the blues, green, and purples. The color in the corner that looks black actually has a purple glitter in it. The other palette is beautiful as well and has very pretty colors. I also pre-ordered Look in a Box-Sweet Tease. They said the price of Look in a Box is actually $59.50 though.
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Awesome! Were they out on display?
Saturday, June 13, 2009
I got there really early. They were in the boxes on the counter but the girl I always buy from was there and she let me see them. Then she said she had GG too. So she let me see them. She was putting them out today I think it what she said.
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Luckyyy!
Friday, June 12, 2009
i believe all this good stuff is coming out at the bay a week before nordstrom! woohoo :) us canadians finally get a break :P
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Yayyy!
Thursday, June 18, 2009
Is The Bay getting all of the Look in a Box sets?
Monday, June 29, 2009
I believe so!
Friday, June 12, 2009
I’m so conflicted with this whole nordstrom anniversary product thing!
I’m dying for the NARS eyeshadow palette
But!!
The MAC look in a box is extraordinary!
opinions?
Saturday, June 13, 2009
The look boxes have mostly permanent products, so you could always get them later!
Thursday, June 18, 2009
They are only about a $5 savings off the perm prices. But that does not include the mini-mascara or the SE 181 brush.
MAC will do another F&F sale, you will be able to get most of these items then, if you don’t get the look in a box now.
I saw the LIB @ Nordies and ordered the items I liked from MAC online yesterday. I saved $$
Friday, June 12, 2009
I went to my mac counter and ordered one of the look in a box sets and they told me it is 59 dollars and will be available june 17th. Is this information only true for mac counters as opposed to mac stores?
Saturday, June 13, 2009
I’m pretty sure that these are exclusive to Nordstrom’s. At least that is what I was told.
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Thanks for the update, Melly! MAC stores aren’t carrying this as far as I know, just Nordstrom’s.
Saturday, June 13, 2009
So are these look boxes only going to be available at nordstrom? I really like that sweet tease!!!
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Sweet Tease is beautiful. I ordered mine yesterday!
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Awesome! :D
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Just Nordstrom!
Sunday, June 14, 2009
Saw these in person, the display was out, and the Fresh Cut Palette is so beautiful in person. In fact both paletter are, but the 187SE was especially cheap. Like cheaper than the other 187SE from Holiday sets. It was flimsy and sparse. The 129 was also pretty bad, but then the SE version of that brush is almost never good. The 275SE was also cheaper feeling than other SE versions. I would pass on the GG brush sets, they’re almost a joke. Either buy full sized or wait until the next holiday set comes out to buy.
Wednesday, June 17, 2009
Thanks so much for the heads up, Jessie!
Sunday, June 14, 2009
ok, i have a decision to make and i need your help. for my good grades gift, should i get some things from graphic garden, or the occ lip tars. or should i ask for graphic garden and occ lip tars for my birthday, which is in November. HEEEEEELLLPPPP MEEEEE!!!!
Monday, June 15, 2009
I just pre-ordered one of the MAC “look in a box” kit, I got the smoky eye kit although I was a little dissappointed the sales person did not know what colors they were they look great on the box! It was $59 plus tax, a little pricey but it does come with a smaller version of the kabuki brush ;-) They are available for pick up of July 1st.
Wednesday, June 17, 2009
Glad you were able to preorder! Pick-up July 1st? Really! WOW!
Wednesday, June 17, 2009
I think that box comes with naked lunch and knight divine e/s.
Wednesday, June 17, 2009
I’d probably say the palettes if you don’t have a lot of eyeshadow!
Monday, June 15, 2009
I love those palettes. i think I will order a few as graduation gifts.
Wednesday, June 17, 2009
Good idea!
Tuesday, June 16, 2009
does anyone know when/if this collection will be coming out in the UK?
thank guys :D xxx
Wednesday, June 17, 2009
I think it will be at Selfridges.
