This collection will be released in very limited quantities and all products will be LE, (of course). Being that MAC is a high-end line already, she said these products are gonna be more higher-end than the regular line. Possibly that means a bit more in price. But, she made it very clear to me, knowing that am a HUGE addict, that the real addicts are gonna know how special this collection is. Also, it will only be realeased at select Free-Standing Stores, PRO-Stores and I'm not sure yet about online. And again, they're not making it in large quantites, so better get what you want right away.

So...I'm pretty darn excited. Just hearing the word couture, I think of very classy, fancy and pricey. I can't wait! This sure sounds like a real hot collection!

i think u just made my day!!!!!!

I read from Wikipedia that in the US, Thanksgiving day is on the fourth Thursday of November and, in Canada, on the second Monday in October.

So it'll definitely be awhile before we see those travel palettes.

i preordered the sets today. i got the smokey eye palette and the basic and face sets. apparently there are 2 types of face sets since the MA asked me if i wanted pleats or ruffles :confused: . i thought there was only 1 type. he didn't have the pics though. so i chose pleats. he also told me i could order mac couture as well. according to him the brushes are going to have rhinestones on the handle. i am not sure but i think he said they were swarovski crystal . they were like $45 and $75. i told him i would seek more infos with you guys and give him a call once i was ready. i also got invited to the launch party on oct 17th. i will let you know all about it .

What store are you going to? I was invited for one on the 18th, my favorite show is on that night, I prefer going on an earlier date.

Do you know if MAC Couture is also being released in the freestanding stores originally mentioned or did I miss that, I do stuff like that all the time =P

I never get invites to stuff at the galleria.=/But I thought the lipstick was $22? 'Cause I can't pay $45 for an l/s =P But I'm excited!

[syrene78]

I see that you are in NYC and you are invited the launch on the 17th?
I am going to the launch in NYC too but I was told that it was the 19th?
Which store are you going too?

Can you PM'me please so that I make sure that my MA didn't make a mistake?
I don't think that Mac Couture will be presold on that evening though.
It only for Nocturnelle and the Formal Black that night.

I got invited as I was asking if there was a party for a pre-release.
They don't always send mailers for paries and sometimes have private parties where they invite the customers at the stores who want to come. They just ask you. And you can ask to.
I believe that Mac Couture will be everywhere.

Sarah I was in your store the other day and the manager told me the the case's will be black with bumps on it. She also said that they are irregular sizes so you will get a refill with the purchase. Atleast thats what I think she said. I told her about this site. I hope you can get her to join. I love her creations. Have you ever seen any of your regional mangers work? She is wonderful

I hear ya! I love it too and I especially love it when Abercrombie brings in a couple models and you can buy a polaroid with them for $92837492387. I walk past the line obnoxiously and make gagging sounds while walking in and out of the store other than that, KOP on Black Friday is an experience in itself! especially on the more expensive side, if you know what I mean

[urbandoll]

I wonder what that colour is in the 2nd set next to the black...dying to get my hands on moth brown.
