Pretty!
Are the Color Form Powders meant to be blushes? Or highlighters?
And would you be able to give any hints as to the texture of the richmetal highlighters?
Hey Maggie! I believe they are meant to be a combination product, so you could use everything together or just individual colors, so depending on the color of the four and your skin tone, it could be a blush or highlighter or even both!
The Richmetal highlighters have come out before with Couture and Stylistics, actually! They’re subtle, cream to powder products from what I remember. I didn’t love them, so we’ll see. I hope these are more pigmented.
I seriously hate MAC…for a high school student with no job. Grr, I need a job to save up for all the collections! xD
Oh god, that is a tough nut to crack!!
question –
I normally buy all my MAC items at the freestanding store because I get a Pro discount which I cant use at Nordies. That said, I am really digging a couple of the pigments from this collection. Is it worth it for me to pass up my discount and buy these pigments at Nordies? OR should I wait for these LE pigments to make their run in another collection that will be available at a Pro MAC store? It just seems like MAC is doing LE so often that these pigments might show up in another LE run that is not Nordies exclusive.
Hey Tanya! I told you this via email, but quick summary: Jardin Aires has come out multiple times, Steel Blue is PRO anyway. Only a couple pigments get repeated, and they’re usually highlighter kind of colors.
OMG those lipsticks look AWESOME!!! God I really need to do some depotting and pray that I get some of them for Back to MAC. This collection is going to make me go broke, AGAIN. The idea of one color on the outside and another on the inside sounds really cool. The powders and pigments are cool too!
LOL! I should do some depotting too!!
It kind of sounds like the Rushmetal lipsticks, which had the gold sheen on the outside, then regular color on the inside – though I hope this is less a coating as it is an actual outer edge!
This is awesome!
Definitely, Susanne!
Man I need a better job then babysitting, or I need to do it alot more. I’m all for palettes, cheaper then buying 4 shadow pots.
LOL, Ashlee! You & me both! (Like how maybe I should *get* a job!)
color form powder is calling my name lol wow..
both look gorgeous,,i guess i must have problem for choosing one of them
Giled Green sounds interesting so far,,hope it will look a bit like the promote pic (i dont understand why the promote pic always show not real color of the products)
Waiting to see the palletes,,,
i really hope there will be a bit exciting bot the packages,,gosh im such crazy bot package lol
Hey Pompam! They’re calilng my name, too!
Oh those are so beautiful and the pigments are to die for!!
I know, right?
Aw what a great collection, thankfully theres nothing there that I just HAVE to have because I can’t get hold of it anyway. Ha, not living in the US saves me money 🙂
I adore new pigments! But I have heard it’s going internationally!
Does anyone have any idea about possible international releases (with novel twist there was some confusion about the nordstrom exclusivity)?
And I’m really curious about the Richmetal highlighters … will they be MetalX like, or powdery, or just glittery….
I’ve heard murmurs that it will be going international! They’re like the Richmetal highlighters from Couture and Stylistics.
wow, my mouth is seriousely watering looking at these babies!! I really like the lippies, the e/s palettes and the pigments. I start saving now, we’re getting these in Canada (the Bay) on July 11th 🙂
Ohh, nice! I can’t wait to check out the lipsticks!
Is it just me, or does it sound like the lipsticks have two separate colours in each tube? They’re all described with an ‘outer edge’ colour, followed by a sheer colour on the inside.
Yep, I think that’s what they’re supposed to look like!
Hey Cristine,
LUVELY GAL!! all r mouth flattering! i like PINKS the most.
Luv,
Zzainy..
Definitely! I love pinks, too 🙂
I am so lemming the pigments! But I don’t have a Nordies near me 🙁 Can anyone tell me if these will be sold on the MAC website? Or even the Nordstrom website? Thanks!
Me too, Pauline! They will definitely be on the Nordies site!
Waaaah! We’re not getting the collection my MA told me, just the palettes and brush sets. I was so looking forward to more pigments!!
Oh no 🙁 It should be online, though, at least for sure on the Nordies site!
I’m drooling over the pigments as well. I’m eyeing the 5 basic sets, I want to try out the 224 and 242 brush. I wonder what the prices are for Canada. I gotta start saving up before they arrive at The Bay!
I’m allll about the pigments!! I think they’re like $56-59 Canadian!
Will any of this be available in the UK??
I have heard rumors that it will be, Shar!
oooo! I want some pigment and the warm palette! I will check out the lip palettes and brushes, too 🙂 So cute!
lol, sounds like a good haul in the making, Kat!
Thank you so much for the pics. I was debating on the Colour Form Powders, and and lipsticks. Man, it’s a good thing that lately some of the collections have been meh to me, because this one is going to make me broke ;D.
No problem, Kaoru!
This must be the collection being released for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale – they only have those palettes and brush sets 2x a year – the anniversary sale and the holidays.
Yay!
Yep, it is for their anniversary sale 🙂
Ha, thank god I’ll be out of the country when this comes out.
LOL, saved your wallet’s life? 😀
Any idea how much the Color Form Powder & Richmetal Highlighters will cost?
I love the new lipsticks too… with a shimmery core. Should be interesting.
Hey Ariele!
I believe the Richmetal highlighters are $16.50, and the Colour Form powders are $24.50!
jesus….im gonna be so broke after this year is over with lol
LOL, you’ll be in good company, at least 😉
CHRISTINE help!
i think im falling in love with pigments 😀
LOL! It is a disease, I tell you! But such a fun one…
Have the powders a special packaging?
They’re a new product, but not special packaging from what I can tell.
Thanks Christine!
And can you say how the Colour Forms Powders compare to the MSFs?
Hey Susanne! I haven’t seen them, but they’re not baked so they’re still going to be quite different. From what I can tell and what I’ve heard, it’s basically a quad of powders to be used on eyes or cheeks.
Thanks Christine, also for the great pictures 🙂
My pleasure, Susanne!
i tell you what.
living in the uk can be a bloody pain at times.
i’m waiting for my pro card to arrive. are the eyeshadow pans the same price as the eyeshadow pots? that might be a retarded question :S heyho. also, how long dyou reckon it’ll take for my pro card to arrive? i’m so impatient.
I’ve heard that when you see them take money out for your PRO card… you’ll get it soon after.
Pigments are a maybe, but that warm pallet is a must have! Thanks for the info!
I’m totally intrigued by the lipsticks myself!
Hey Christine! Do you know if these will be available for online purchase at Nordstom? I’m out of town for the launch and want these palettes badly!!
I do believe they will be. Even if not, you can definitely call up your local Nordies (or any, probably) and do a charge-send (where they’ll ship it to you). I also think they’ll be taking pre-orders, so you can pre-pay, they set aside your goodies, and then you pick it up.
One other thing, any approximate prices on all these products?
Eye palettes will be $38, lip palettes will be $22.50, brush sets are $49.50, richmetal highlighters will be $16.50, and the powder will be $24.50.
I love the idea of the lipsticks and the color formed powders. Also getting my hands on the jardin aires pigment is great since they didn’t bring heatherette to Mexico!!! grrr!! But they do bring the Nordstroms stuff, go figure!! And I know so because with the NN they brought the Soweaways quad. So, YAY!!! Now i have time to save money since they’ll probably release it here in august.
Me too, Bianca! Can’t wait to try them both 🙂
How weird that Nordstrom’s exclusive comes your way, but not Heatherette.
I wish they’d give Jardin Aires a rest.
LOL, me too ;P Well, don’t re-release it TWICE in six months!
So do the brushes come in that small case type thing? Or do they come in that plus the bag thing? I am confused by the way the pics look. Can you or someone else give more info on that? Thanks!
Hey Paula! Each brush set does come with a bag/holder of some sort.
Hey Christine,
Do you think the brush sets are worth it? Is the quality the same?
I think they’re worth it, especially if you don’t have the budget to lay money down on full size brushes. They’re also great if you travel a lot — they’re compact, but since they’re cheaper, you have less risk in carrying them.
The quality is a little lower, but I don’t find that it’s so low that they’re not worth it, IMO.
