- bottle looks like a teardrop and is hand-blown in Murano, Italy.
- fragrance is a “baroque floral.” The notes are topped with red dates, wild red peonies, and island cypress and white pepper, a center of tuberose absolute, orange blossom, jasmine, ylang-ylang and orris, and then you dry down to the leather rear woods, vetiver, tonka beans and amber crystals.
- The collection is only going to be available MAC stores, Henri Bendel, Saks Fifth Avenue, and select Nordstrom locations, a total 175 locations.

Sounds very glamorous! I'm excited to see everything in the collection, if it will be worth the pricetag...

[Shimmer]

blah. It sounds pretty, but I'd so much rather them work on the formulas than make pretty packaging for something I'm going to keep in my traincase. =/

Sounds like Stylistics is this year's MAC Couture collection. They are really trying to make this "high-end" stuff work!

Which collection will be released in a total of 175 locations? The holiday collection w/ the cool designed palette or the fragrance collection?

Check out this site, it has a pic of the both of them.

HTH!

lashtite adhesive is for the individual lash tabs. not for lash strips.

The stylistics collection will include the Air of Style fragrance, and is a couture inspired botique collection released on 11/29 to MAC stores & selected retail partners for a total of 175 locations (and most likely online on the MAC website as well).

The palette pictured earlier in this thread has not been identified and thus we don't know just which collection it belongs to just yet.

[Aprilrobin]

Oh my gosh - the palette is so, so, so, so pretty. The first I have liked since the colored aluminum ones.

new pigments - exciting!

mineral shadows.. gah. i hate hem.

MACouture in '06 was really the start of integrating one high-end collection into the launch year. They seem to be continuing the trend with Stylistics.

[Ms. Z]

I'm going to have to get a 2nd job! I promised myself I'd only get a couple of things from the upcoming collections, but now I doubt I can keep that promise to myself.

[lian_qiu]

Am I the only one NOT that excited about the palette? However, I am looking forward to new pigments

[Deirdre]

Oh, wow, if the Stylistics collection is the same quality as Couture, I'm there! I love my lipstick from that. And the lipglass, too.

[tsukiyomi]

Are those more mineralised eyeshadows?

In the new matte collection there was a description of a matte blood red l/s! I can't wait for that one!

I've just recently become a MAC addict - made my first purchase in April. I was wondering about the brush sets that come out at Christmas. Do they come out with a number of sets, and are they always the same each year or do they come up with new combos? I just bought a set that came out at my Bay counter MAC store in July. It was a PRO set. I'm just hoping there are new and different ones that I can look forward too!

Also, are the brushes in the sets of lesser quality than the full sized ones? The MA that I bought them from said they were the same except just shorter. Maybe I was mislead on this?

Nope, you are not alone in this. I hate Juicy Couture and that's exactly what the palette reminds me of. Last years Formal Black really hit the spot for me. I was so refined and classy. This stuff just looks a bit on the cheap side. And I'm with you, I can't wait for the charms sets.

[melliquor]

Do we have a list of products yet? I am hoping for pigment sets like last year.

[talk2mesun]

the couture-esque stuff doesn't do anything for me since it's so expensive, but i am so anxious to hear about the holiday collections with the different sets and the pallettes and so forth! bring us news MAC MAs!!!

the brush sets usually have similar but different combos every time. the brushes in the sets are not nearly as well made as the full size ones. they are not as dense and soft, and some of them are shaped a little differently.

there are a lot of discussions about this, so you can do a board search. here's some discussions in this thread. hth

[Janice]

After viewing miss_emc's thread on Australian Holiday '07 pricing, here, I think it's safe to say the palette featured at the beginning of this thread is apart of the Antiquitease collection.

Also it does appear there will be mini sets featured in a collection called Curiousitease.

There will also be another special edition brush set in a collectors Brush Box.

And a small collection called Richmetal, with a interesting product called Metal-X Eye Cream.

/begins to get excited

[Sophia84]

OMG!!!!!! LOL I'm smiling in my room alone with all these info!!!

I knew it that these I saw in the video were fluidliners at the Antiquitease Colour collection!!
