I only purchased 3 things; Dominate and Show All (lipsticks) and Crimson Tryst (eyeshadow)...I was tempted to get the purple eyeshadow but I figured I already have too many and I didnt see anything special

This is "Crimson Tryst" eyeshadow








These are the two lipsticks (dont mind the water drops, it was a hot day and they drove with me in the sun for a while)








When I swatched "Dominate" in the store it reminded me of "smoked purple" but with shimmer, in the daylight it looks different I guess



That purple lipstick looks too much like Makeup Forever's lipstick number 15# which I already own. http://colouredbeautiful.com/purple-lip-mufe-15/

Stylish me blush

This does NOT look like the brown blushes on the color story pics. It looks like a corally peach? Looks lovely.

Whoo hoo!! I am so glad I got outta my feelings and called to place my order. Dominate is on it's way to me as we speak and I would have been crushed had I missed out on it!!

I've swatched all the eyeshadows and lipsticks if anyone is interested! I didn't see the blushes but I could have just missed them, if I can today I'll go by my store again to swatch. I'm NC35/NW30 for reference. **MOD EDIT-Personal blog links belong in your signature, you're welcome to embed the images here and point them to the link in your sig.**

Would you believe in the pan it looks more on the brown side? It's so weird but its pretty

Great job. Thanks! I only want Brazenly e/s, but it's too much trouble to go through for a single shadow.

My day started with checking online at 5:20am to see if this was online, and of course it wasn't.

Was a bit peeved after that... But thank goodness my 10am patient cancelled her appointment, because I just decided on a whim to call the PRO store in Northpark mall in Dallas.

I was told they had everything, yaaaaaay! HUGE props to Erica at the Dallas store, she not only helped me, but Lisa (Spikesmom) and Taya (PixieDancer) as well. I was a texting fool telling them to call Erica ASAP!

Erica told me after grabbing my items that they didn't receive Barefaced blush, but I got everything else that I wanted. I think Lisa and Taya did as well!


Now the wait for that wonderful black box begins!

BTW... big THANKS to all who have posted swatches!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

again for giving me Erica's number! After seeing the cafemakeup swatches I'm really excited.

I am glad that you got your items, Honey on Boost!!! I am relieved too but it honestly should never be so hard, really. I was disappointed and frustrated to hear that an item I was anticipating was sold out when I called as soon as they opened. I was more bothered by the principle of the situation than the item itself. I think that they should have had more staff present in anticipation of a new launch and phone orders. I also think that the lady I spoke to first as busy as she was should have offered to put my items away until I called back or offer to call me since she was busy. She also mislead me by telling me there was a lot of items when obviously that was not the case. I was thinking about ordering two of the lippies for my mom but I can't be bothered. I just realized no matter how much careful planning and preparation you do, when it comes to Mac you are never quite safe. It should not be so hard to spend my money!!! SMH

I was there when they opened and immediately asked for Brazenly. The SA that helped me was surprised that I got the last Brazenly. I don't think they even knew how limited the product was. Hopefully you can get your products once it launches online.

I did get everything I wanted finally, Yippee. So excited after seeing these beautiful swatches. I forgot to ask how long before I get the items but they are coming so that's all that matters. Miami to Ft L'dale should be quick. Such a waste making testers when u have so limited items in stock tho

 

[cherrylove]

Girls what's the best store to call? PLEASE HELP!!! Thank you

 

[trayceeee]

Sigh, I just called the Pro Store in Montreal and they could ship the items to me but I decided to wait until June for them to release online. I just spent a fortune on Nars Pierre Hardy products and some online shopping - so I'll take this as a Blessing in Disguise

. My makeup budget for the spring has blown out the water and I should take it easy! I have the Urban Decay smoky palette so will use some jewel colors from there... *sigh*... Brazenly..

Not sure where you live but I'm in Idaho so I called the Vegas Store I forgot who helped me but she was very nice and of course you might be put on hold a bit but still nice so it didn't matter
number was 702-369-8770

How long are these in stores for?! I can't get to Vancouver until at LEAST next weekend... but I likely won't have money till then either. Unless I can convince my (male) friend over there he'd like to brave it for me......... LOL right.

Until they sell out or 6 months at the most.

 

[missmeghan]

Hmmm. I think I'll see if I can convince him to go for me.... men can't possibly mess up picking up a simple lipstick right? (Who am I kidding, he's not going near MAC for me LOL!)

 

[purplerinne]

any dupes for the nude eyeshadow?

 

[ryass]

So, since this is still NOT ONLINE I'm assuming the people who posted this was pushed back until June 11 were right.....? What is going on with the MAC website..? *sigh

Yep, there are some really nice colors here but I am just going to skip this whole collection, since I don't want to go through the effort to go to a pro store and I won't buy any more makeup without checking it out in person first.

Here's hoping that some of these colors creep back into a standard collection in the Fall - I can wait. I'm starting to reach overload, lol.
