MAC - Dress Camp Discussion

[lara]

So what's the goss? The packaging looks so-tacky-it's-cute.

I'm hoping this might be one of those collections that slip into Australia under the radar, otherwise I'm going to be CPing She Gold lipglass!

[miss_emc]

Unfortunately it's not going to be released in Australia. Here is a list of the distribution:

North America - MAC SoHo (NYC), MAC Robson (Vancouver), MAC on Union (San Francisco), MAC Online

International - Belgium (Antwerp), France (St Honore), Hong Kong (all locations), Japan (all locations), Indonesia (Sogo Plaza Senayan), Maylasia (Sogo & Parkson Gurney Plaza), Singapore (CK Tang), Taiwan (Sogo Group and MAC stores, Thailand (all locations)

HTH! I'm going to Thailand in April, so I'm desperately hoping i can pick some stuff up whilst i'm there. Can't wait!

I am lusting for the BP.

[Krasevayadancer]

Im thinking I HAVE to have this collection. The colors sound like so much fun!

[blazeno.8]

I'm just really interested in that yellow eyeshadow that's coming with it. *_*

[newagetomatoz]

I'm loving the colors in the palette, probably because it is gold-theme for the most part, and it has zebra packaging. Gold and zebra, it just is so perfect! LOL The only thing I'm a little unsure about is the BP, since I have stronger yellow undertones, I'm afraid that the blue-base for the pink BP will clash.

[V2LUCKY]

I think the packaging is cute, I love Zebra print! Plus the star on the l/s and l/g add a lil sumthin' sumthin'.
You know what, I'm happy to see that the palette has a beauty powder instead of a blush or ccb.

[labelslut]

Heh, normally I get all my MAC CP'ed through the US anyhow-I don't buy anything from my local MAC here in Adelaide anymore.

The packaging reminds me of Scarface for some reason, just the tackyness of the zebra print and the gold border. Not that it's bad thing-just so 80's!

Thank God it's a small collection though!

i wonder why they would have it in certain countries but not available at all locations, i can't be travelling 4 hours or so to go get me some of this stuff...

I try to think about it in the other direction. How often does the US get collections that other countries don't? Or how expensive is MAC in other countries? One time I looked at the MAC Australia web site and the price was $35 for an eyeshadow. Even when I converted it to USD, it was still up there. Also, MAC knows that because it is hard to find people will pay to get it and it will clear fast, rather than going to a CCO; it keeps interest in the company. Plus, I'm pretty sure that it is available on a lot of the MAC websites.

^^ All the collections in Australia sell REALLY fast. The stock is SO limited even though it's SOOO pricey.

I remember the Heirlooms were like $120-ish? And the Face set sold out very quickly.

Yes the eyeshadows are still $35. Poo.

[Randy Rose]

Anyone have any clue about prices? These are too cute not to get, but I wonder if I'll still be drained from Heatherette . . .

[glavinagal]

Its so tacky, but me likey!! :P

[erine1881]

the lipstick and gloss are $14 and the palette is $36

[Divinity]

I HAVE to have this!! I'm so BAD!

[ARmakeupjunkie]

I want the lip products!! I'm a sucker for lipsticks and glosses!!

[greatscott2000]

I'm curious to see how the yellow lipglass will turn out. I haven't seen a bright yellow lipglass in MAC's line-up before.
I wonder if it will work like Squirt l/g and be complementing on the lips.
.. I have too many questions

[musicislove05]

i def want the palette! i love the packaging!

[SMMY]

I don't know about Dresscamp Pink, but some beauty powders are pigmented and dark enough to use as a blush or bronzer, if you're fair skinned.

so true abt prices being so expensive overseas. i'm in malaysia and a lipstick costs like 63 and pigments costs like 80. even then alot of the stuff are out of stock, i guess they don't get too much stock in each time and even on the displays there's prob abt 2 or 3 of the same color out. but what i meant was since it'd be released here, y not in all stores instead of just 1 particular store. i got excited when i found out it would be released here, only to later find out it'll only be out in the store that happens to be in another state 4hours away.

I'm all about this collection- can't wait! Must. have. it. all.

This is the first time in a long time, that I'm thinking of picking up everything from a collection. And the packaging and the colors are a big part of that.

[ledonatella]

Now I like this much better than Fafi or Heatherette, esp. the packaging, it's so freakin hot!

[browneyedbaby]

I need the pallette!!!!!
