Dont hold me by my word, but a MAC birdie just told me everything (online & instore) is coming out on the 17th......again DONT hold me by my word.....but dont be surprised either lolol. :clapping:  

Still coming out in stores on the 17th right? That's the only day I have off so I'll be able to go to the store and try everything.

Store release is still the 17th.

Store release is still the 17th.

Are we expecting it to launch online that day too? I'm confused! LOL

Mee too lol

No clue. Stores aren't really kept up to date as far as online dates as much as they are as to what's going on in stores, as it doesn't really affect them.

Thanks. Guess we stalk... or not. I'm kind of indecisive about this collection anyways. Maybe MAC will help me decide if it launches and things sell out before I can order!

This is actually pretty, because it's not too bright. Can't wait for more pics!

 

[Tahlia]

Is this you? I can't tell! Pretty colour, wondering how it compares to snob/ raspberry swirl/st. germain

Lol nooo! I wish I had my hands on these lipsticks. It definitely looks to be in the same colour family as those lippys.

 

[Spectacular]

That is one thing that really throws me off. 9:30 am, 12:23 pm, never anything the same. which makes all us crazy people do things like stalk, set phone alarms (yes, yes I have done this plenty of times),etc. Such a pain in the buns. CMON MAC PLEASE GET THE TIMING RIGHT AT LEAST.

Exactly, lol. Give me 2-3 days and I'll bit the bullet and stalk till I'm a drooling mess, but now...I'm just waiting and checking in, and hoping for the best and trying not to spend my money on other awesome things (which is SERIOUSLY a temptation, I want to dye my hair!) so its rough, lol

With all the speculation of date changes Mac is turning me off and I have manage to bring my list to TA l/s and LoL l/g. That's it. Mac is like a bad boyfriend who continues to let you down but you can't help but love em'. LoL

Nice analogy...I agree!

I would NOT buy these without seeing them. The finish is pretty glossy and they're bright and the combination is a real love-it-or-leave-it affair, especially if you have the colors they are similar to in matte or satin already and prefer that. Also, personally I think the lipstick colors wake up a lot with one of the glosses on top, so you might find yourself buying gloss too, if you're not 100% with the colors on their own.

I don't love amplified all the time and feel like these colors work with the finish better than you sometimes get. I didn't find them patchy, but they don't really blot down effectively. You have to be good with shiny and bright together. It's a certain kind of look (very loud and retro-slutty 1995) so again, I wouldn't buy on impulse online. I just watched Paris is Burning for the first time in years and one of the drag queens was wearing a screaming bright and glossy coral lipstick and I immediately thought of this collection, lol. Gotta be ready for the realness, hehe.

Thanks Liba. The retro-slutty 1995 description had me laughing out loud! I remember those days well.

Given your thoughts here and in previous posts, combined with what HerGreyness has said (and some of my Mac friends who have tried the products) I think this may be a near skip for me. Too bad really, but I am beginning to be seriously underwhelmed by this collection. Thanks again!

All I really want is Red Balloon, and maybe Toying Around I love demure berry pink colors, so that's right up my alley, and if Toying Around is similar to Toxic Tale (missed out on), I'd probably love it!

Me too girl! Can't seem to choose what lippies I want from this. Seems like the low buy makes it worse haha. Plus, I am queen indecisive about EVERYTHING! lol. Picking restaurants and shopping seems to be the worst. I will stay in a store for so long. It's funny how people that work there constantly ask me if I'm still doing alright. Cause I will wander around the store forever lol

And MAC can be so scattered. You never know when things will go live. Sometimes its really hard to stalk. I work nights and we don't close till 2 am. And don't really get breaks to check all the time.

You guys are lucky, at least you know the end is in sight. I'm in the UK and we don't even have a sniff of a release date. I'm stalking online for updates everyday.
