Now you got me curious- was the original Bronze Glow better than the one that's out now? @Anonymous 

I always wondered if they changed the formula from the limited edition one to this permanent one especially since I don't own either!

[Anonymous]

@jesscheems I bought a backup when Bobbi Brown made it permanent and returned it because it isn't the same.  The color payoff isn't as good in the permanent version and there's a lot more noticeable glitter. I'm not sure if you can tell in the picture but you can tell IRL.
 Also Bobbi Brown increased the price when she brought it back. The holiday bronze glow was $45 for 0.28 oz and this year it is $46 for 0.24 oz although I think they may have since increased the pan size.

[jesscheems]

@Anonymous Thank you! That does help. I have been swatching the permanent pan and did notice glitter and I know the original was highly raved about! The original looks a lot more pigmented and almost more buttery? lol not sure if it is but just looks like it! That sucks about the price increase. I hate when companies change formulas- deceiving! I was going to get Bronze Glow this year but now I'm not that impressed!

I hope the MAC WoG duo isn't going to have issues in terms of pigmentation/quality!

[Anonymous]

@jesscheems  I hope not too.  But I think Mac knows how anticipated this is and are afraid of suffering a Becca/champagne collection style backlash if the formula isn't up to par

Going to the Nutcracker ballet performances were (one) of the highlights of my childhood! Can't wait for this.

[nikki25gee]

soooo excited! 😄

[veronika23]

Spellbinder shadows swatches! Looks soooo beautiful on this skin tone! WOW!

[niki172]

Are these LE? Very pretty, but I want to make sure I don't have any dupes and Temptalia is decent at giving lists of dupes. Just trying to control my stash of pretties 😄

[veronika23]

@niki172 as far as I know yes they are LE 🙂

[niki172]

Thanks V (hope this isn't Selena all over again with this launch either).

[NarNarNars]

Okay, please pardon my ignorance, but what is the big deal with Whisper of Guilt? Is it another Stereo Rose (in terms of hype)? Why all the OMGs? No tongue in cheek- please educate me. 🙂

 I shall wait for Temptalia's swatches in the meantime...

[NarNarNars]

@njattana GO FOR IT. Survive the stampede and be victorious. Somebody has to tell the story! 😉

[veronika23]

@njattana if you call a counter and just pre order it you'll get it the day it releases 🙂 They take all your info including your cc and they process the orders the night before so the day of it's ready to go... you just need to pick it up! I think that's the best way to get one 🙂

[veronika23]

@njattana sorry. I don't. 😞 Not all counters started the pre sale but if you ask about it you might still be able to get your info down now instead of the 13th when it officially starts.

[nikki25gee]

Will there really be lines? O.O I've never bought a new collection in stores, so I wanna know what to expect in case I'm not able to grab it online. Lol! 

Does the US do preorders too? 

[misscg]

@nikki25gee I'm wonder if the US does preorders also. I'm not sure if I should try with Mac freestanding stores or the counters inside other stores to call. 

I did do a phone order/hold/store pick up (can't remember lol) for last years oh darling and shaft of gold from Macy's. I just have a feeling sweet copper will be gone online before I get a chance to order. 

[Anonymous]

@misscg Yep, you can definitely do preorders in the US at freestanding MAC stores. At some stores, you can even preorder over the phone.  I did mine last week to avoid the hassle and stress. I got enough of that with Selena lol. 

[misscg]

@Anonymous Thank you!! I'm going to call and see if I can do it over the phone. 

[veronika23]

@nikki25gee I think every collection is different.  I don't think it will be like Selena but WoG could sell out fast... that being said you should call around and see if counters are doing pre sales. If so grab it that way if you really want it 😉

[star180]

whisper of Guilt is a nice highlighter, which first came out before the highlight craze as of late.  It was one of the original highlighter powders.  Honestly, it is nice, but I love my Dior and Ananstasia ones  just as much.

[NarNarNars]

Thanks so much, @star180! Judging by the swatches on Temptalia of previous versions of this beauty, I don't think I'd be upset if I missed it. I mean, it's very pretty, no doubt about that, but I think I can live with my Dior Amber Diamond.

 And people sell this for the upwards of $200 on eBay?! Dang. No kidding when people are talking about stampedes and such. 🙂
