Hmmm I had high hopes for Daisychain but from the two swatches I've seen (one here, one on another site) it looks much whiter than I expected (I thought it was going to be a nice truer daisy colour--not too deep like a gold colour). I'm liking Ochre Style though now! Keep the updates coming, I hope the counters here in Winnipeg have em out tomorrow!

I know, this sucks, I kept hitting refresh until this morning...Then I left for Quebec City and YAYYY the collection was already out at the counter! I thought I'd be one day early but no.

Plus my favourite MA was there so it was a really nice shopping day!

It should be there, I checked it out today.

Swung by my counter for the first time in 5 weeks and I hate to say I'm liking this collection! I was hoping to save some money but I'll have to strategize funds again. I swatched some (I'll try to post tonight) but had to get going b/c I was only going to pick up lashes - I only found out last night the collection was coming out today! I love Charred - lustre effect with the pigmentation of a frost. Parrot is pretty and since I didn't get Big T, I'll probably get it. I really liked Clue as well, the texture seemed smooth as butter. Oooh, I was doing so well on passing up almost all of Antiquitease!

I went today and ended up getting more than I thought - the downer of going to the counter and playing instead of ordering online. BUT I did find Rozz Revival to be a nice shade for me. Reminds me of Culturebloom only with more red/pink in it. Had to do Sandy B. too. I also got the Melon piggie and Transparent Teal glitter - SO pretty, online doesn't do it justice. Shadows were eh...I did get another Parrot as well as Ochre Style.

Nope MAC cosmetics Canada still doesn't have it available to buy just "coming soon" for all the LE stuff. Wonder what the holdup is? I checked the US one and yep its all avail. Oh well will check the store.

Does anyone in Canada know why we don't have golden olive avail? it frustrating b/c i liked one of the looks posted and I can't even order it.

We should be so lucky! /\I don't think that is what they meant, though. My take on that statement is that the colours are timeless, not that they are permanent in the line.

i got charged 19.50. i called other belks around here and they are charging 19.50. they will not return or price match my products, since theyve sold out of the glitters already.

i called the freestanding store 5 hours away and they are charging 16.50 only.

yay for getting ripped off.

Heeee! I have never bought this much MAC in a single trip (I'm poor, I only ever get one or two things at a time).

Steel Blue Pigment - OMG SO PRETTY
Clue e/s
Rozz Revival and Twig Twig l/s
Avarice l/g - NICE on Queen's Sin. Definitely better than Red Romp.
Aaaand some brush cleanser. Love Originals.

Whoops, sorry, I thought you meant up for display on the site, not availability. Sorry for getting your hopes up!

That is strange Golden Olive isn't listed. It was at the counter so it should be available for ordering.

That's odd. I would email MAC & let them know.

WOW! MAC has redeemed itself! I placed my order online less than 24 hours ago and UPS delivered it this morning! This makes up for the frustration of waiting almost 2 days for them to release the collection online.

And yes, I'm in luuuvvve with Parrot. Also, Charred es is prettier than I thought it would be and is the deep grey I've been looking for. I thought it would compare to soot; but soot is a slate grey (matte) and charred is a steel grey (frost), so very pretty...

They don't compare to each other on me...I'm NW45. Avarice is a deep red-coral and Red Romp is a deep berry red.

I see on the website Avarice is described as a "Mid-tone yellow red".

HTH
