As far as I know, it's not going to partnered locations (counters), only to stores.
and here's what's involved........
Everything is packaged in this HEAVY (feels so expensive) beautiful gunmetal studding... it's almost gem-like.. as far as i could see the lipglasses and lipsticks are packaged in square tubes/vials! (very chanel!)
The lipstick and lipglass formulas are new! The Couture lipstick is amazing - a lustre finish but much more colour payoff!!
Richmetal highlighter is an intense metallic, cream to powder, buildable highlighter safe for the face, eyes and body, but not lips.. it is super lightweight and blendable and not at all sticky or tacky like CCBs.
It's more $ because the product and packaging is cream of the cream.

It'll be displayed in a sealed glass box!! From the House Of MAC....

I don't think the packaging is all that at all. It looks cheaper then the reg. packaging. They could have done a better job with "couture"

I agree - it looks a lot like Sonia Kashuk/Revlon! The products themselves sound really nice though so hopefully that will make up for the cheapo-looking packaging. Although I need to see a picture of the 182 brush!!!

I too woulld like to see a picture of the box and the brush, I'm not sure I will like the lip stuff, so maybe I'll get one of the other items.

I saw the brush. It has a square base which is bigger than the regular 182 base, also heavier. It has the same surface like the other COTOURE products.

Did anyone else notice that in the promo pic with Jewelescent and Nocturnelle the Couture Richmetal highlighters had a round pan, but the one pictured above has a square pan? Is one for the display? If so, which?

Oops sorry! I accidentally pressed "thanks" instead of quote. I just went back to ebay to see, and the auctions have all already ended. Here's the item # for one of them: 200047359372

Yes, that is the re-fill. The color is Medium.
The compact is really heavy & the re-fill is in a light weight plastic container.
