Shimmerene glitter cream...A73?

[lilviolingrrl]

Hello lovelies! Quick question for all of your fabulous MAC minds!

I received a Shimmerene glitter cream in a swap/sale. It looks great, but I'm a bit puzzled by the back. The name label sticker is WHITE, and I'm used to BLACK from MAC. Is white okay?

Also, it's labeled as A73, meaning it was the first batch made in July of 2003, right? I was looking when Shimmerene came out, and the Color Stories say October 2004 with Adorn. Did MAC release it sometime in 2003? I'm just confused by these differing dates.

Thanks in advance!

Collection products are made up to twelve months in advance of their launch.

Thanks for this!

Does it make a difference that this is from 15 months before it was launched? I'm just trying to make sure that this is the real deal!

the label sticker on my glitter cream is also white, but it's labeled as A64

Yeah! That's what someone else told me about their Shimmerene. I'm just trying to figure out why it's dated so differently.

Mine says A75. Thats weird. I just noticed that shimmerene was also released with Holidazzle in 2003 which would explain why yours says it was made in july 2003.

OH YES! Holidazzle! Thanks for this!

anyone know why mine says A75? I got it from a girl in Canada, so maybe they released it later in Canada? Now I'm confused.
