I'm also not close enough to MAC to see all the new products for real and try them out so new collections are quite hit or miss for me!

I don't have that luxury even though I'm in the US. I don't have a car, and my parents aren't keen on going to outlets, so I'm outta luck because the closest one is about 1.5 hours away I think.

I missed the last Richmetal Highlighters, so can someone tell me exactly what these are? I've read that they can be used on face and eyes, so are they kind of like cream color base? I am just trying to figure out if I am interested in these!

[MisaMayah]

Im glad this is one less collection that im appealed to. The only thing I want to check out are the lipsticks in Naked to the Core and Inner Hue. They remind me of the Smashbox lip tints.
Tea time pigment sounds great but how many browns/bronzes can one own? I have many. The Color Forms powder sounds interesting but again, i have so many msfs, Bobbi Brown shimmerbricks etc..that I hardly use so I dont think i'll be buying this product.

There are reviews on MUA for the ones released with the Couture Collection.

According to one of the reviews: "The Richmetal Highlighters are similar to Cream Colour Bases, but they have a drier, silkier feel"

hm...has anyone here used them and really liked them? another item i'm trying to talk myself out of b/c i'm already planning on spending plenty on this collection!

[KikiB]

I think I've done well, I've gotten my list down to the 4 pigments that are new. Although do you think any would end up at the CCO? I know the brush sets and so forth will, so I can wait til then on those. I'm glad I am not feeling the lips.

I have way too many other July collections to notice, not to mention the fact that it IS the Anniversary Sale (our Nordies has a 3-story tall banner for it) and that's when they do the best GWP's for the other brands *ducks, please do not throw rocks*.

[laa_cat]

I am not that excited about this collection as well, not even the pigments

The 4 new ones don't sound very exciting to me, I love vibrant or richer colors with more complex undertones.

I am more excited about Overrich though they are green and taupes AGAIN!

Yeah, my closest outlet is 3 hours away, and there's another almost 4 hours away, so I don't get to go all that often. Honestly, I don't know why there's not one where closer to where I live...Omaha is right next to two major interstates, with an area population over 1 million. But the outlets here seriously suck. Actually, I also don't understand why there isn't both a Nordstrom and a MAC f/s.

Damn, so it means we can't get them internationally, like half the other MAC stuff. This gets really frustrating! I really wanted those travel brush sets. :'( Looks like I'll be shelling out $85 for the 187 after all.

We will get Colour Forms in Germany, just like Noveltwist last year. It doesn't matter here that it is a Nordstrom anniversary collection.

[Krasevayadancer]

So I saw the looks in the update book for these today. The colors are bright and the looks are gorgeous! No product images yet though, and the book ended with colour forms

[Fearnotsomuch]

Meh, not that excited about this, thank goodness!!
I'll probably just get a basic brush set since I really need help with my brush collection and perhaps a pigment and richmetal highlighter once I see pictures.

I stopped by the MAC counter at Nordstroms today and they are already taking pre-orders for this collection.

[BunnyBunnyBunny]

I want to see everything already!!

Did they have the pieces of the collection out to view?

[KikiB]

They did not have the actual product however they had the Colour Forms binder and it had product images. The lipsticks look to have a little plate on the tube. The Colour Form powders are not like the Soft Lights as far as looks go, rather they are like a square bulls-eye for the inner three layers and then it rounds out to a circle on the last one. The palettes are wicked awesome-they are bright packaging and they don't look like any palette I've seen before. The brush sets come in the coloured nylon bags like we heard...nothing fancy though. To me, the highlighters looked atrocious. I don't like how they look except for the pink one. The colours aren't anything to write home about.

There weren't images of the pigments, but we already know of Steel Blue and Jardin Aires (what they look like, since Jardin Aires is being repromoed for the second time this year and Steel Blue is a pro colour).

thanks for the info! cannot wait for the eyeshadow palettes and pigments. me loves bright packagings

and about the color form powders... if i understand it correctly, wouldn't that bullseye thing make it very difficult to use the colors separately? what's the point of having 4 different colors then (besides looking cool, i guess)?

I try to understand what is meant by the description "bullseye".
I don't think the colors are meant to use seperately. I imagine to use them all together and get a mixed color like the MSFs.

a bullseye is a circle in a circle in a circle, like a dart board. but these are squares apparently.

i agree. they aren't meant to be used separately. you are supposed to swirl the colors together to get a mix of all of em.

Hope it's OK for me to post a link to the post I just wrote with pictures of Colour Forms: link to post on Bjooti - not sure if these images have been posted before or not, hence just the link.

[annie333]

OH MY GOD.

Right now, "Breakin' the Law" is playing on my radio! That's what this is....something that should be against the law making me drool like this....I might die from dehydration now!!!!!!!!
