MAC Cosmetics - Fafi For MAC In-Store Events

I just wanted to give my dearest readers that many stores around the country are having events to celebrate the Fafi launch.  Some of these include unveilings, which are amazing opportunities to see Fafi before it’s even launched officially!  It is best to call up your local store/counter and ask if they have anything going on.  With that said, I will be attending the unveiling event for Fafi on February 10th at MAC Cosmetics at Valley Fair in San Jose, CA. If you’re in the area and would like to come, and call (408) 244-6533 to RSVP!  I’m scheduled to attend at 5:30pm, but please let me know if you can make it and when you will, because I’m sure I can find a reason to stick around longer!

(And also, this means you can fully expect swatches and a review February 10th/11th!)

Comments that do not adhere to our comment policy may be removed. Discussion and debate are highly encouraged but we expect community members to participate respectfully. Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

Hey Sarai!

Depends on the event, but for unveilings, this is what happens…

1) They shut down the store to the public, only those who are on the guest list can come in.
2) There is a red carpet with velvet ropes, and they make sure you’re on the list before entering.
3) They only allow so many in at once, but once you’re in, they usually give you a piece of paper with all of the products from the launch so you can check off what you want and how many.
4) Hand over your sheet after checking out the products, an artist grabs it for you, and then you can pay.

They usually have waiters dressed up and bringing around appetizers and drinks. A DJ will be in one corner playing music, too.

I’ll be there @ 5:30 too. I’ll look for you to introduce myself 🙂 Never been to a launch before so I’m pretty excited about this one.
