um.i checked the price of the individual brushes to the set and i think it was either the same price or you save a only a couple of dollars (no more than $2) you only get the bag or whatever

Skyler

OH MY GOD. I will be SO BROKE. And on the same day as Colour Craft?! Whose bright idea was it to release two of the year’s biggest collections on the same day? That actually makes me quite angry. Two of my biggest loves are mineralized shadows and palettes, so there’s no way I can pass on these. I anticipate buying most of each collection. Meh. Stupid MAC.

DevilishDoll

I think I want Fresh Cut Palette and Graphic Garden Palette, not sure though, since the color descriptions don’t seem to have been released yet. But this collection comes out a little over a week before my birthday. =D

Sanayhs

I have all the Canadian prices as well as the American, if you’d like. Also, the blurb:

Dejaview, 3-D Floribundia. A modern graphic garden grows like a haute hologram in black-and-white chic. Special-edition new compacts and kits that intrigue with the illusion of depth and movement, as the surface morphs into an alternate design, another way of seeing… As much an objet d’art, as a collectible makeup accessory. Sleek metal compacts with lenticular op-art plaque. Glossy black-and-white Lip bags feature two Lipsticks plus Lipglass. Choose from Define & Blend or Shape & Perfect Brush Kits. Only at Nordstrom, Only by MAC.

i want the seductress look box, b.c i have none of those colors,. cant wait for the pictures of them christine – thanx!

Ally

I didnt think i would be into another collection after Style warriors but this proved me wrong. I want the sun siren box set!

Elle

I think the only things I want are the palettes so far…I already have a lot of the individual products in the look boxes. Thankfully. 🙂 Thanks for the info Christine!

Rachel

I hope that the boxes will be available on the Nordstrom website! If they’re really only available in North America, the website is my only hope of laying my hands on them.

Nars

I can’t wait for the pics! Sounds like the look boxes are quite a deal. But then, I would have to see the pics first! lol By the way does anyone have any idea about the whereabouts of the rose romance nordstrom exclusive quad online? I’ve been looking for it everywhere but nowhere on nordstrom.com shows it. And that makes me sad.

Tammy

I need this collection!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!!! Brush set both eye pallet and the last set. Ommgggggg & I can’t wait for colour craft either!!! July will be my demise!!!! Can’t wait!!!! Woohooo!!!!

Miss Trendy

i want the eye and face sets (i’ll pass on the lip sets). July is gonna be pricey. But these kits have some of the permanent collection shadows i have always wanted! cant wait.

Aleia

A SA told me these brush sets are mass produced by machine, and the regular brushes are handmade. She also told me the quality of the sets is not as high as the regular brushes. I think this is true, I have a 217 brush from the Holiday Collection (The red brushes), and a regular 217 brush, in my opinion the regular 217 brush is so much softer and nicer.

Sabah

im really hoping that this collection is available in canada (even though i know it says above available @ the bay) but i soo wanted the quad from the rose romance collection, it is not available at the bay, i asked them & they told me they wont be getting it. i had read somewhere it was going to be available at the bay, but too bad. 🙁

M.

I work at the fragrance counter at the bay and i’m always at mac, i highly doubt that they’ll be available in canada but nordstorm ships to canada, u just have to call a special toll free number

cmferrets

so do the look boxes contain all the full size mac products for that one price? or are they minis or in palettes? i dont get it ?

Jennifer

I would love to win the “On A Mission” blush!!! I just started wearing makeup a year ago and quickly became an addict!!! I love MAC and since I have started wearing MAC the “Style Warrior” collection is the SEXIEST AND FIERCEST collection this far! I want it all!!! Also, I am an animal print fanatic and this collection fits my personality to the “T”!!! Love it!

JO

Okay silly question…It says this is for the Nordstrom Anniversary…does this mean this collection is only available at Nordstrom…I hope not as i dont have a Nordstrom in the uk…Mind you it would save my wallet lol

Janella
