Lol, pies? I think a lot of gals would throw shoes at you with how this collection is going! Jk, :) So this collection was originally meant to launch the 3rd, but because of manufacturing issues it was pushed back to the 24th, however - the blushes (what I assume was the reason it was pushed back at all) still aren't ready and probably won't launch that day. I'm morbidly curious what went wrong. From what I've seen most makeup manufacturing takes about 3 weeks once the colors are decided on, so I'd hazard the first week of May...unless things have gone really wrong in MAC-land.

From all of these push backs, it seems like a lot has gone wrong. Very worrisome.

I went to pick up my Playland lipsticks today, and the SA told me that they are hoping the blushes for Proenza will be available by the launch but there are no guarantees.

But she did say that they would get them whenever they are available so at least we know that they will be ready at some point, lol!

When I got home from work today I saw this was on the site map, went to it and it had all the products up like with any other collection but everything said "COMING SOON". I kept refreshing and in about an hour it went to just a black page with this

[/h] For the first time, the cool cleverness of the Proenza Schouler woman is captured in a collection of confident colour - slick, sleek and effortless with specially designed, limited-edition packaging. Lipstick cases, compacts and Pro Longwear pencils shine in a unique, luxurious metallic finish in a spectrum of colour from oceanic teal to glossed lemon and royal violet.

Also featuring two Online Exclusive accessories designed by Proenza Schouler – a cream and black canvas tote and t-shirt available in three sizes!"



all the product pictures were gone. Why are they f***ing around with this? Let me buy my dumb orange blush and be done please!

Went by my local MAC counter to look at the Playland collection in person ( already ordered Sweet Experience online) and the guy there showed me the Proenza Schouler line, and gawddd it was gorgeous. The packaging alone is amazing. So glad they changed it up from the typical MAC shape!

Is anyone getting the brush? Do u think the quality of the brush well suck like the rest of LE brushes? Or is this one special ?

I really wish the brush was great because of the handle, but I'm not a fan of LE brushes and doubt this will be any different, so it's a skip for me.

I'm losing interest in this collection.  I really wanted to get the orange blush as a backup for Ripe Peach.  I figured I'd use Ripe Peach more if I knew I wouldn't run out (Warped logic, I know).  But I really want the original packaging.  Is it really a dupe anyway?  I will still probably get Rich Experience because I wanted to buy one anyway but the rest??? Don't know.
No, they aren't dupes.

Not emberassing at all... I do that too!

Not on my phone, but on my computer.

And yes to the Ombre collection!
Yeah it's interesting. When I called my store, the manager was totally transparent about the production issue. Am going to have to call back though and confirm it is still the 24th and see if the blushes will be in. What a fiasco.

Edit: the quote I was responding too didn't paste. Sorry for the confusion.

I like the look of Mangrove, but I keep on thinking that it looks similar to Tarte Timeless, and I also have Nars Heatwave as well... Do you guys think it's really unique?

Tarte Timeless

Mangrove



Nars Heat Wave (definitely not muted, deeper!)
