I can’t wait for Neo-Sci Fi, Sonic Chic and Starflash!
Thursday, May 15, 2008
There’s SO much, I can’t believe it!
Monday, May 12, 2008
Damn you MAC…how am I supposed to save any money? I thought I had sometime but I guess not. Thanks for the info Christine!
Thursday, May 15, 2008
LOL, I know right!
Monday, May 12, 2008
I am so excited !!
BUT… MAC is slamming us with tons of new products this summer.
Thursday, May 15, 2008
I completely agree, Meg :(
Monday, May 12, 2008
i will save money for neo sci fi, cool heart and starflash.
Thursday, May 15, 2008
Hey Karen! I know, lots of saving to do ahead of us!
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
Hey Christine! Regardless of when they come out in stores, the first date listed after each collection is when they are available online, correct?
Thursday, May 15, 2008
Hey Pquanda! Usually if the launch date gets moved up, it will appear 2 days or the Tuesday before the launch day.
Thursday, June 26, 2008
i am still waiting for Cool Heats, I think there is Color forms at my mac store now.. I am going out shopping now, hopefully i can grab some new stuff!!
Thursday, June 26, 2008
Oh, have fun, Sophia!
Friday, June 27, 2008
Any idea what cremesheens are?
Sunday, June 29, 2008
New lipstick finish!
Monday, June 30, 2008
I’m glad we’ve got some good collections coming up soon, I wasn’t really into NN or Cool Heat. But dang, MAC, slow down, you’re taking the allure out of LE. They know we’re suckers and will definitely buy it if they attach LE to it, though! And I confess to being one of those suckers. :P
Wednesday, July 2, 2008
lol, indeed, Emily… we’re so easy for the picking!
Friday, July 25, 2008
Hi, Do you happen to have a list of previous MAC launches? 2007 for example?
Friday, July 25, 2008
Hi Susy,
I don’t have a post like this that compiles them, but I believe you are looking for the Raquel Welch collection :)
Monday, July 28, 2008
Sweet! that’s the one! thanks :) ps. i love the site!
Friday, July 25, 2008
Oops, I forgot to mention why..lol..I’m looking for the name of the launch that came out with the packaging that looked like a tiger, I believe? It was Rachel ? something :(
Thursday, October 2, 2008
Am I the only one who keeps coming back to this post? sigh!
It is a really useful idea! :)
Thursday, October 2, 2008
And you just reminded it was high time I updated it!!
Saturday, October 4, 2008
Thanks!!! :D heee
Monday, October 6, 2008
No, thank YOU for reminding me :)
Tuesday, November 4, 2008
Hey Christine-
Will you update this list, please? I love using it to help plan my purchases. Thanks!
Wednesday, November 5, 2008
Done!
Wednesday, November 5, 2008
Yay! Thank you so much.
Saturday, November 8, 2008
SoOoOoOoOo! I found out some secret info. They’re coming out with a Hello Kitty Collection around Feb09! GAH! I am so so excited!
Tuesday, November 11, 2008
Yep, they sure are :D
Friday, December 12, 2008
I really wanted this collection for christmas but its so dumb that it comes out the day after christmas? what kind of strategy is that??? :( oh well I will just get a MAC gift card and buy it :D
Friday, December 19, 2008
You can always buy online, too :)
Sunday, January 4, 2009
I know this was probably a lot of work for you to maintain, but with how many posts you make for each launch I reallyyyyy used this one a lot to find the swatches, promo images, etc really quick and to keep taps on what was upcoming. I was wondering if you’d considering maintaining it for the 2009 MAC launches? It was super useful!
Tuesday, January 6, 2009
I will update soon! Thanks! I do have every intention of maintaining this post, I just tend to forget ;)
Tuesday, January 6, 2009
Its ok! I really appreciate it, it’s been sooo useful! i even have it bookmarked as my go-to post!
Tuesday, January 6, 2009
Thanks Christine for updating the list!! =) Oooo…what’s Honey?? =) Very interesting!
Tuesday, January 6, 2009
No problem, Faye! No real info on Honey yet, just that it’s coming out in May-ish featuring body products.

Sunday, July 5, 2009
I’m uber excited for the graphic garden collection!
I’m addcited to MAC! I go there too often but it’s definitely worth it!
Soooo many interesting things coming out. I hope I have easy access to a MAC store when I go to university or I think I may die :(
Thursday, July 9, 2009
I hope you do, too, Rhea!
Tuesday, July 28, 2009
I was just wondering if you could update the information on upcoming collections to include the holiday ones. I noticed that other websites have info on more October, November and December collections? You however give much beter descriptions so could you please update? Thank you in advance!
Tuesday, July 28, 2009
I don’t have any information besides names for winter collections at this time, sorry, Elise!
Wednesday, August 12, 2009
Yeah, could you put the Magic Mirth Mischief Collection up there?
Thanks!
Saturday, August 22, 2009
I am really in need of the MAC 184 fan brush. Unfortunately I don’t have a Pro store in my state. Is MAC planning to launch it as a non pro item any time soon? Is there another way to get my hands on one?
Monday, August 24, 2009
I don’t have any information that would suggest this, sorry! You can call any PRO store in your country and have them ship it to you.
Tuesday, September 29, 2009
Hello. Could you please update the list. The one you have up only shows one thing for October and nothing else. And it’s end of September. I rely on this list to know what is coming and how to budget my money. Now, I don’t know about any collections at all. Thank You so much.
Friday, October 2, 2009
Hi Elise, I’ll definitely update it as I can!
