I was starting to think that too, especially since AVIVA-Berlin describes Hundred Degrees as a "radiant pink shimmer" and Quiver a "rich peachy-bronze shimmer". I guess I'll opt for Hundred Degrees pearlizer once it hits stores (it almost reminds me of Porcelain Pink).

I only want 2 paint pots and the pink blush from this one. Most of my money will go to Flashtronic since I only want 1-2 pigments from Rushmetal.

Thank goodness my birthday is in the middle of July!!

what did you order?

 

[thelilprincess]

i'm soooooo bad - i just pre-ordered by telephone both the Pro and Basic brush sets and the cool pealizer + mini kabuki brush.....i just promised the fiance that the Barbie Beauty Powder he ordered for me at 1am was the last purchase i wanted (we're saving for the wedding).

specktra is such a bad thing for my pocketbook - but i'm going to

my new brushes!!!

the MA explained to me that the brushes are good (i was told by MAs in the past that they aren't as good quality as the full size brushes) - she said they are made with the same hairs, but machine made instead of handmade like the full size ones.

i can't wait to pick these up from Nordies on July 23!!

:cartwheel:

For anyone who has yet to see what the pearlizers look like up close, I found some pics on macproductgallery.com:

(These colours were released before during the Belle Azure collection in 05)

Hundred Degrees (pink shimmer)

Quiver (bronze shimmer)

Yea I feel the same way. Nothing really seems to catch my eye. I probably will end up getting the brushes but thats about it.

I spoke to a MAC MA today and he said the brushes have a full-sized head just like the regular brushes, but with shorter handles. Since this is the case, I'll be ordering both brush sets.

What a deal - 5 brushes for $48! I think that's pretty good.

i called one of my local Nordies yesterday to see if they were pre-selling - the MA was able to do it over the telephone for me. i had to give my CC to put it on hold - they run it through on July 18th and said i can pick up on July 23rd.

Just call up your Nordies and ask for the MAC counter and ask the MA.

what about the people who wants to pay by cash who doesn't have CC. can we still preorder?

yeah, i had asked the MA about that - she said if i wanted to pay cash, then to come in on the 18th before they "swipe" my card, and let them know i have a pre-order. they would then have me buy a gift card with my cash and swipe the gift card through for payment of the pre-order. but i figured i will have the funds in my debit card by the 18th so it would be ok for me to have them bill it to my card that day. you still need the CC to put the pre-order on hold for you.

when you call the Nordies MAC, make sure to ask the MA (and get the name so you can say you spoke to so and so who said you could do it that way)

 

[thelilprincess]

btw, the cases next to the brushes in the photo - are those the cases that come with the brushes? or is that the limited edition make up bag?

i don't have a CC so its going to be hard to put a pre-order hold. can i put a pre-order hold on a gift card?

 

[AudreyNicole]

I have been able to pay cash for pre-orders before. I just have to bring in my receipt when I pick it up and they mark it paid on the hold slip.

yes you can IF the MA & the store that they are in can do that... some managers etc. have different rules for this due to previous presales problems &/or errors. If you dont have any luck preselling an order at a counter near you with a gift card, feel free to call the Nordstrom Southpoint 919-806-3700 in Durham NC where I am ;-) Just ask for Trisha. I have many customers from out of town that I work with so i can send it where ever really. I have a lady that lives in Miami that I send to all the time because she was here on business trip once and we got along famously. hehe. So yeah its no prob to do it... basically I just figure out how much the total will be with tax and ring up a gift card for them & they hold onto the card.... i use the number from the gift card (like we do with a credit card #) to ring it up for them when the products available. makes life easy really, lol.

 

[noahlowryfan]

i'm just going to head to my local MAC counter when it opens to ask. first, i'm going to ask them if they take pre-orders of the Novel Twist collection and see how i can paid for them.
