New Collection Preview Parties - What are they all about?

I have never been to one before so I dunno what goes on. Do you have to pay? What should I expect? My sis-in-law called to sign us up for the event but the SA said the preview night would be better. I'm going to it at the Pro store in LA, anyone else going?

You normally need to be invited to them, but they'll pretty much put anyone that asks about it on the list. Basically, there's a huge crowd there, and the MAs are going crazy. Sometimes there is food and drinks, but basically, it's meant so that you can preview and buy the products before the general public can. There's no cost, but you usually do end up buying something.

It'a June 2nd 7pm-9pm, which I thought was weird cause that's the release date, so it wouldn't really be a "preview" party. But I'm going anyways.

I usually get mailings about the preview nights in LA, but I didn't this time. Do you think I could just show up? Do you need to call ahead or anything?

Thanks! Hopefully there will be a few of us there.

I didn't personally call so I dunno what they said. My sis-in-law is the one who called and they told her she could bring 2 guest and they put us on the list. I'm not even sure what exactly we're going to do there. Hopefully it'll be fun.

Culturebloom Preview Party

Anyone sign up for it? I signed up for it w/my SIL for the one in LA (@ the Pro store) on Jan 29th. I love going to them they're fun, the only downfall is that they get pretty crowded.

I wish they weren't only for the Pro locations! I'd love to go to one, but my closest Pro store is in NYC

I feel your pain, FairladyZ. The closest PRO store is so far away, and I never have time to drive out there. :|

You need a pro card to get an invitation.

I'm in Baltimore so it's only a few hours away, but since it's in NYC I'd have to make a couple of days out of it, as I'd have to take the bus or a train since parking is non-existant. And it's SO $$$ up there. They really need to open a few more!

they have them in non-pro store locations, also. my mac store isn't a pro store, and i went to a preview night. my store, however, is freestanding.. so that might be why.

but it definitely doesn't have to be pro.

It's not the same thing! In a preview night, you see the collection 2 weeks before everybody else. In a preview party, it's only 2-3 days.

Preview Night are for Pro members only.

i went to the culturebloom preview last night in NYC at the flatiron location. was very nice to get an opportunity to buy before anyone else and before it gets to my macy's store in cross county, yonkers-but it was so crowded!! it was like you couldnt even walk around and everyone was crowded over the little table that was displaying the culturebloom products. i quickly bought some stuff and left cause it was too crowded. (and if anyone is interested, im selling some culturebloom items on ebay -914susang-ebay user name)

Attended Sundressing Preview Party

I went yesterday to the preview party for Sundressing and can I say WOW. The collection is better in person and when applied. MAC had manicurist doing nails, masseuse giving massages, etc, and it was sponsored by Bacardi.

I was able to take three guest with me. Oh, and can I say all attendees got free goodies at the door. I got Fountainbleu e/s and Glamourson l/g. Both very nice shades.

I bought:

2 new pigments (very nice)
Powerplum and Aqualine Liquid Last (fabulous)

And other things I needed.

All and all, it was and awesome party. South Beach MAC Pro always does great preview parties.
