I was told on the live Mac chat this morning (Canadian site) that N & M will launch for everyone (pros and non-pros alike) on the 18th. They also said it would be in the pro stores as well on the 18th, but I'm a little skeptical about that point.
It won't be in the Pro Stores UNLESS they still have something in stock from the original release according to the two emails I got from the MAC Pro rep. It can be ordered over the phone though starting on the 18th (but they warned that the phone orders will likely be difficult to do on the 18th)

So... In conclusion, we still don't know if this is launching tonight/tomorrow or next week? In the past 24 hours it looks like people have heard both dates from MAC reps...

Nor do we know if this will be available to everyone or just pros.

I've only tried the nude side and I really liked restrained lipstick and wholesome. I have 3 out of the four nude shadows too, they are cool. One of them I don't really care for its a more brown one lol. I didn't like nearly nude bc it was too light on me but I'm a little darker than you so it may be more pleasant for you

I really cannot imagine it coming out on the 18th knowingly that Rihanna will come out that day and the first time they did her line they didn't even have customer service open to pick up the phone for any type of calls! Plus that's like really inconvenient for those who want both equally as bad bc it's like which one you do you put in your cart first?! Or inconvenient to the person that just wanted nude & metallics, bc that's multiple orders, major waste of resources, anxiety lol, but I digress. That's tacky to me. At this point it's really just a "wait and see what happens thing" but I also think that the corporate rep I spoke to was pretty certain. but if she wasn't the world is not going to end lol. *shrugs*

So far it's not up....and since RiRi is releasing midday versus around midnight it's not quite so messy IF you aren't trying to order from both collections at the same time. I usually notice MAC collections that don't offer a specific time of release to occur around 11:45pm - midnight Eastern time. And I highly doubt MAC cares too much about the customers anxiety levels...it's that same anxiety that causes people to buy first and decide if they really want it later lol. I'm checking periodically but it really looks like the 18th release date is the more accurate one (although I suspect that N&M will release technically very late on the 17th). We'll see...but thinking that MAC is really considering our anxiety or the need to place more than one order is wishful thinking in my opinion. It would be great if MAC considered that but...they didn't really consider it in the case of the original RiRi release. If you wanted to order other products and didn't already have them in your cart then you were almost guaranteed to lose your RiRi Woo lipstick that you THOUGHT was safe in your cart.

BTW...customer service wasn't supposed to be available to answer calls for RiRi Woo...it was online only. Unless you meant that CS was closed for some reason around noon (which was around the time that RiRi Woo initially released)...if that was the case I wasn't aware of that...I wonder if that did occur was it because the phone lines were tied up with people calling and hoping they could get the lipstick without having to follow the online only/no phone orders rule....maybe someone else can chime in on this one (assuming I'm not completely misunderstanding what you meant of course)

the metal eyeshadows. definitely.
i found my first grey hair at 17. it was solitary, and actually, my classmate found it, and screamed! LOL

anyway, they've very slowly been growing in numbers, but for the most part they are not super noticeable at first glance at least!

Well technically that was the case with the original RRW release. I stumbled upon the release by accident...I didn't plan on getting RRW initially so I was visiting the site to check out other products...when I saw the RRW graphic I figured why not...and decided to see if I could get one. With the chatter on Twitter I knew not to risk looking for other items once I had it in my cart...so I did end up placing a separate order for my other items later that day.

By any chance if you have cozy up could you compare wholesome and restrained? Would be appreciated.

Well I am sad to hear that it seems like there might be a bit of chaos with this collection and the RiRi one ( which I am still trying to figure out if anything from that one is worth it for me.....the colors are awesome but not sure if I need another purple or red) but I would like to thank everyone on this thread for putting up any and all information they get when they do because with out everyone on here I would have completely missed the first round of Nude & Metallics and wouldn't have the amazing shadows that I was able to get. So thank you.
