Yeah... I've definitely seen that promo pic before.. And the blog post doesn't say anything revealing..

well perhaps somebody naughty was meant to keep the info secret but shared it anyways? who knows! but if somebody did do that then i'm kinda pleased! because it has given us guys time to sort out the cp's!!

Yes, it seems that blog post has been deleted for some reason.

Does anyone know if this is going to be an online exclusive in the UK like Lillyland was? I seem to recall reading it somewhere. I completely missed out on the cremeblend blushes because I didn't want to order them unseen, and by the time I went to the counter and was told it was online only, they were sold out.

This is North America, Japan and Korea only. It will not be released in the UK in any form.
That's why there is all this CP organizing going on.

yup! so if you are desperate make sure you get your requests in now to the kind people who have volenteered to help us in europe!

Oh, okay, didn't realise that. Thanks. I'm not that bothered, thought I'd check out the pigments and dazzleglasses, but not going to get a CP. There's plenty other stuff coming out this summer.

Yessssss... I want it all! And I'm not ashamed to admit it!

I keep flip flopping between wanting EVERYTHING and just skipping this collex entirely.

I have never used pigments, so buying full sizes of these seems sort of silly to me. I have a ton of lip products already. The nail colors are nice, but do I need them?

...but then again, everything in this collection is just so freaking pretty.

 

[tesstsang]

^ Seriously, pigments look so damn nice but I never get any use out of them. I was thinking of getting Later and pressing it along with my other pigments after I finish my first semester of summer school. I'm not sure how many pans i'll get out of it but if I follow through I can definitely sell them here for a reasonable price once I hit 50 posts

a little something for those who don't want to commit to a whole pigment jar

OH btw have you ladies in Europe ever heard of this site?
Package & Mail Forwarding | MyUS.com

I've never had anything forwarded nor have I looked into reviews yet but maybe this is another option for you to get your MAC fix!

 

[riotlove]

i want near everything either.

but unless i get someone who wants a cp i won't even be able to go in

the only way i ever get to go is if i say 'bbbut someone paid me for this stuff and i HAVE to at least get their stuff!' and then i just talk the boy into letting me get myself a few small things

hopefully i get come cp requests soon.

 

[marusia]

Can you not order online? That's how I always have to buy my MAC.

Thank God for swatchers!

 

[riotlove]

i don't have a credit/debit card and no job/money so i have to rely on either selling items on here or going in for cps for others and just being like 'bbbbut pleeeease' and he'll usually give in and let me buy a few things

i'm surprised at the number of people that don't use pigments!!! they're my favorite mac product of all time! and now that we carry em at the counter, i can wear em whenever i want at work. i'll be wearing pigments more than the regular shadows now!!! i just wish we would carry more colours than we do (even tho 22 shades is alot).

oh well, maybe more colours will come in the near future!

Me too Erin!

pigments are just scary to someone that doesn't know how to use them.

like.. i'm afraid 1) it won't stay on my eye lid and it'll just flake off since it's just a powder.. or 2) that it will crease like crazy, even with a primer. there's also the issue of how i get my brush in the little vial! (because i do have two holiday pigment sets i've never used!

)

eyeshadow pans are easy and not messy. pigments seem like they could be (especially to a klutz like meee)!

yes i have heard of this. they do charge you a certain amount to do this though which is why i never bothered. cp's from members here are much better

pigments are my fave mac product too. and i usually wear pigments more than shadows. i just prefer them because everytime i know the colour payoff will be good. sometimes i don't even need a base because they are so opaque! and i love the colour selections! i'm wearing sweet sienna today in fact! love that baby!
