Christine, I know Feline is a favorite among all gurus, however, Smolder smudges on me like crazy and I haven’t gotten a MAC liner since then. Should I try Feline?

viva Avatar

Feline is REALLY smudgy on me – I can’t use it on its own but it is *perfect* for the waterline or tightlining because you don’t have to push hard. Then I might go over it with a colored pencil or shadow.

michischaaf Avatar

maybe you can try the mac fluidlines? i think the mac-store-girl told me, that it’s waterproof. however, I tried it and I love it. It doesn’t smudge on me and I had this problem with different brands and liners for a very long time!

Codilicious Avatar

don’t apply fluidline to the waterline if you wear contacts. I saw spots and blurry visions all day. I was miserable. Feline is a good waterline only. It will smudge. The best stay put is Engraved Powerpoint eye pencil.

BELLA Avatar

Tip: Line your eye with a black shadow like carbon first, then use Feline over it. That will help it stay in place. Smolder is meant to be smudgeable, like for a smokey look. If you want a black liner that will NOT smudge, try Engraved.

Stephanie Avatar

Hey Julie,
I prefer the Urban Decay 24/7 liners to MAC’s. They don’t smudge or crease at all! I like them way better. Their Black shade Zero is amazing! HTH:)

Neetu Avatar

yes Christine, that’s perfect… it is like Fix+Rose but instead of rose, it’s Lavender. it does exactly what fix+ does but the lavender in it will sooth your skin and what’s even better is the wonderful lavender fragrance in it…. it’s like a Spa in your bag:-))

Emily Avatar

aww man. I was so excited because I was doing well on all of these collections, not buying much of anything from each one. Paint pots are my favorite things from mac, I think I need all of them (:. I’ve never tried feline eye kohl, so I must do that. Oh goshh, better start saving now… *sighs*

Ludwig Avatar

Hey Christine, you mention Feline kohl pencil a lot in your posts. I was just wondering why you like it so much? (I missed it so I want to know if its worth getting) Thanks for these posts on upcoming collection!

Erin Avatar

YAYYYYY Feline!!! Seeing how devastated I was when it didn’t repromote with the Feline collection I better stock up (yet again, I get 3-4 each time!)

danielle :) Avatar

glad to see et tu boquet being repromoted one of my fav eye shadows i used it everyday for while after i got it. I would also love to pick up a feline eye kohl and see what all the hype is about!

Alannah Avatar

Ick, Fix + Lavender? I just used the last of my Fix + Rose and I really wish they’d bring that back again. 🙁

Is that release date correct–on a Sunday? So weird.

Chelsea Avatar

I’m so glad I’ll get another shot at the chromographic pencils. I bought NC15/NW20 with To The Beach and wore it everyday … until my naughty, NAUGHTY dog chewed it up.

Mabeline Gidez Avatar

Yes, you can use your pro discount with this and the other collection “Style…” I wish someone had swatches and reviews of this stuff so I could figure out what to buy before the general public buys out everything! hahaha 🙂

Jami Avatar

Ugh one of these days I hope ill see a new collection and not be interested…..untill then my wallet will hate me……the fix + lavender sounds lovely and the paint pots, and the quad…..oh and I wanna see what the feline is all about…..

Alex Avatar

Omg!! With all of these new collections I will be broke.., and i’m only a high school student working off of babysitting money… Guess I’ll start saving now!!

Alejandra Avatar

Ahahah That’s funny cus I can totally relate.
My kid(the one I babysat) was a pain @times(would throw fits and what not), but I rolled with the punches for my MAC money.lol

JayJay Avatar

Bubble lounge sounds pretty! I want all the paint pots, but I will have to see how many MUFE aqua creams I get at IMATS Toronto, and how they compare.

Jessi Avatar

I guess this is a random place to put this… but is today your birthday?! Someone told me it was. If so, Happy Birthday! If not… um, happy early (or late) birthday!

JD Avatar

Ooooh this is all right up my alley! Side note: a fantastic brand out of Calgary (where I live) called Lit makes a fantastic dark green glitter called Caviar Dreams…their stuff is amazing btw.

Eliza Avatar

Christine- when will the Tartan Tale collection be up? How long do collections typicallly run for? I want to get some stuff for Christmas, so I want to make sure that it’s still there!

Kalee Avatar

o0o lipgeleeeeeeeesss!!!!!!! yay!
the Fix+ Lavender sounds nice too. i love the smell of lavender….not too sure about a scented fix+ though. didnt like the rose one from last year.

Sasha Avatar

as a frugal mac buyer, the lip gelees and paint pots seem to be the only things in this collection worth excitment.
though, not the gold paint pot- that color seems so ordinary and consistant amoung most brands.

verybecca Avatar

Darnit…was so excited about the quad but I have three of the perm shades already (and Retrospeck isn’t great texturewise)…oh well. I also wonder if those BPs will be hard like Summer Rose was.

Haley Avatar

i’m def getting the caviar dreams quad, at least ONE feline. and if i love it another, and the grey paint pot. and if the swatches are freaking awesome more paint pots…

The miaomi Avatar

omg…

Tinted Lip Conditioner SPF 15 Lavender in Calm Mode Light neutral beige (Limited Edition)

yes!! Missed a similar one at Warm and Cozy. They need a light beige tinted conditioner thats not limited!

cmferrets Avatar

YEAH!!! NEW PAINTPOTS AND LIPGELEES!. i want to get those, quite [please, flustered and tineted lip conditioner, and fix + lavender.prob also the feline e/s- never had it . and the poders and nailpolishes ill have to check out. cant wait !

Assie Avatar

I’m excited for this collection. I’m finally gonna try fix+. I’m only missing one eye kohl in this post. Specktra says there is also an eye kohl called “I get no kick”. Maybe you forgot it? Thanks for everything you do!

Rita Avatar

This collection seems more wearable than the other cool ones, like Chill. I’m disappointed on the quad though, I think I already have 3 of them! But yay for the PPs and lavender!

Edelmc Avatar

Wow. I nearly squealed out loud when I saw all the collections were posted and I am on the bus into work! Well done Christine fir the excellent work. On my list are the quad, grey paint pot, pink cream colour base, pigments, purple fluidline and kissable lipsticks….and that’s just the definite list…..it will prob grow once the promo pics and swatches come out. A combined buyers spreadsheet for the collections launching christmas week would be amazing(like the vv one you did)

Petra Avatar

Excited for the paintpots (although I’ll limit myself to 1), the lavender tinted lip conditioner (finally, a nude one! I bet it won’t be completely opaque, which is great for me) and the highlight powders. I prefer them over the MSF’s usually, as I’m conscious about my pores around my cheek area.
The lipgelee’s sounds nice, and they’re a good value for the price, I actually prefer them to the lipglasses, but I’m not sure I need more very sparkly ones.
I was looking forward to the palette, but I own Brule and Et tu,bouqet, Retrospeck I don’t (for a good reason), and I bet I can dupe the pewter one. I’m kinda happy that I can basically “start using” that palette tomorrow, if I feel like it. 🙂

AnaG. Avatar

Hummm..the paint pots seem gorgeous…my husband won’t be pleased – again!!! I’m dying to see the products. When will you think they’ll unveil it??

Judy Avatar

I know this might turn around and bite me in the tush, but I am happy that I am not interested in this collection. At least not yet. I need to chose which collections I will be spending money on and there are about four others I have more interest in. Yay!

kasiaj85 Avatar

Christine, do you possibly have any info about the availability of these Holiday collections in Europe? Lord, please make these goodies avilable in Poland!
Looks lovely, I think I might be in desperate need of all the paint pots, well, maybe apart from the coppery one! Gosh!

kasiaj85 Avatar

uuuu 🙂 thanks for the quick reply, guess there’s going to be like a month and a half break (saving, saving) and then I’ll be broke again. 🙂
cool, can’t wait! 😀

Chloe Avatar

scrolling down the page, still scrolling i then see feline does double take WHAT OMG! i cant wait to try it as it is so popular i wonder why mac doesn’t just make it permenant??? probably to suck us back in hehe : )

valerievanity Avatar

Hey Christine, I just want to thank you for all the work you do on these posts, especially the early-notification-I’ll-be-broke posts. It really gives people who don’t have a lot of spending $$ (me) to write down what I think I might like, wait for the post with pictures, edit it, think think think and purchase what I REALLY REALLY want. If I just went into a store when I saw a released collection and didn’t know anything about it, I’d just buy all or nothing. It’s really awesome that your so passionate. =D

LorraineER Avatar

Hmm…I don’t know if there’s much I’d want out of this. Feline probably but I was expecting pigments and shadows. It’s good though, I’ll have more money to spend on holiday sets from other brands!

Liz W Avatar

well damn… as i’m gearing up to drop $300+ on VV I get all excited about this collection! I cannot wait to try Feline, Fix+ Lavender and some other things sounded great!

Also – do you have any kind of sort of idea when you will get more info on Tartan Tale?

Thanks Christine and happy belated birthday!!!!

Christina Avatar

NEW PAINT POTS, YEAH!!!! Excited to see the colors, they sound great. Also interested in two of the lipsticks and the I GET NO KICK eye kohl…

Poor, poor wallet.

saku Avatar

I don’t know why, but for some reason I keep reading charm-pale, lol. What does the cham stands for? The paint pots I like and those two middle lipsticks.

amani Avatar

wait isnt the 26th of December a Sunday? i though mac only releases collections on Thursdays……….thanks for the info Christine you are amazing 🙂

Jackie Avatar

yay!!! so excited about the paint pots, bubble lounge, and eyeshadow quad!

christine, can you do a post about feline and all the wonderful things you can do with it, so those of us who haven’t tried it can see how amazing it is?
i’m curious to see what all the hype is about!

also, can anyone tell me what the chromographic pencils are good/used for?

molly Avatar

Yay feline and new paint pots. I need to see the eye kohl before I get excited about it. The lavender fix+ sounds nice especially for.someone like me who needs a motley lavender to calm the red im my face lol

Milly Avatar

This collection is right up my street! I want three paint pots, feline and also the eyeshadow quad as I’ve been wanting brule and retrospeck for ages.

The highlight powders sound so beautiful but I need to stop buying cheek products!

Thanks for the heads up on this collection Christine…I am already saving!

Sarah Avatar

ok so……MAC is getting all of my Christmas money this year, this of course is based on what sounds good on the description. In reality I may not even get half of the stuff on my list.

but thank goodness I hate Lavender scented stuff so passionately

meghan Avatar

Loving this collection! Interested in:
Caviar Dreams Eyeshadow Quad
Chilled on Ice pp
Let Me Pop pp
Feline
Chromagraphic Pencil

Too bad this is right after Christmas when i’m broke! lol good thing I didn’t buy anything from the FF or VV collections! Definitly need the quad and feline though!

Allison Avatar

Are you going to get pictures for any of the holiday collections? also are you gonna get to get the products and do reviews and swatches? not just for this one but for any or all of the holiday-ish collections? hahaha I hope you are! please let me know!

Jenn Avatar

I am very excited I am gonna get so many things from this collection. Its the only one im really interested in lol. My wallet is healing from the mac venomous villains collection!

Anna Avatar

Cool! I really want to try those paint pots out I don’t have any so far 🙂 I love gold, and that caviar dreams quad seems nice since I am almost out of my retrospeck eyeshadow!

Becca Avatar

SO excited about ALL ofthe paint pots and the quad!! thank you so much Christine for etting all the information up so early so that I can start planning out hw to spend my money.

PS MAC, my wallet hates you 🙂

Ashleigh Avatar

I’m definitly excited about the quad the colors sound like they would work really well together. I also have never gotten around to getting Fix + so I think I might buy it when this comes out if its not too strong of a lavender scent

Ali B Avatar

I NEED to see a swatch of Chilled on Ice. It sounds like a nice color, and I am saving up for all the Holiday collections from MAC. This would be my first paint pot:)

Nevaeh Avatar

Do you know if you can back to mac for these lipsticks and the lipsticks from stylishly yours?
I know you can’t back to mac for tartan tale lipsticks i was wondering if it was the same for these.

Alyssa Avatar

I talked to the MUA at the Mac store in Times Square and they said the only reason we couldn’t B2M for Tartan Tale was because of the limited number of lipsticks they had, but it wasn’t going to be that way for future LE collections.

Hope that helps!

Lizzy Avatar

Kinda boring beige… Except the Beauty Powders which are just called Special Reserve Hilight here because it’s a wine term…. Bet you your eye lash curler they’ll be blush on me. NW 15. They always are.

Been wearing Gel lippie for years! Wonderful, but needs lip erase under. Or, MAC, can we get a gold pencil please?

NeutraKris Avatar

I MUST have this collection! And that’s saying a lot because I’m usually ho-hum about MAC collections! I am a tried and true neutral girl and on the fair side so these hues are complimentary for me. Love it!

Amanda Avatar

Hi Christine….will this collection come out a couple days earlier online, like MAC normally does or will it be released online on the 26th, the same day when it hits stores?

Cheryl Avatar

Christine, would those colors (paints pots, highlight powders…)work on medium dark skin? I feel like this collection is more for paler skintones. Reading the descriptions, which ones would you recommend?
Thanks in advance!

sonjiya Avatar

ooh! i love a collection based on gold tones, such a holiday theme! cant wait for pics on the paint pots, but the eyeshadow quad? does anyone else not like retrospeck? oh well, i can’t wait to experience this launch 😛

Denise Avatar

the highlight powders and the paint pots interest me a lot. maybe the lipsticks and the eyeshadows. we´ll see how much my purse will allow ;).

Laura Avatar

I’ll be getting the grey Paint Pot, a back-up of Feline (maybe a couple) and that’s probably about it. I’ll also take a look at I Get No Kick eye kohl and *maybe* the highlight powders.

I love Fix+ but I’m not fussed about getting a scented one; I love Paint Pots but I have Bare Study, Fresco Rose and Rubenesque which are all quite light and frosted; I could maybe do with a pale gold lippy but as two are perm I could get them whenever; the quad looks…meh and I already have 2 of the shades; the lipgelees look pretty dupeable and unexciting, I already have the light Chromagraphic pencil and can get a backup from the Pro store whenever I need one; I’m not fussed about lip conditioners or the face cream, and although the platinum nail polish looks like a lovely shade I’m not a huge fan of MAC’s nail lacquers generally.

So hopefully a cheap collection for me – YAY!

ann marie Avatar

SO EXCITED FOR THE LIP GELEES! I bought all 4 of the last ones and man oh man do they sparkle. LAST FOREVER and add so much bling to my lips……I get constantly complimented on them.

Kesha Avatar

Ha, I said this on my Twitter but I am so glad I didn’t buy anything from A Tartan Tale because this collection is just…me. I love everything so, I may have to buy everything. Even the Fix+ Lavender; I’m out of Fix+ right now so I think I’ll just wait for this new one!

Rachel Avatar

OMG YAY! MAC Feline! Have been waiting to get my hands on it for like, forever. ^^ The nail lacquers look awesome too. Oh god, my purse is going to need a fire extinguisher at this rate…

Tekoa Avatar

Paint pots. Oh yeah! Unfortunatly I have 3 of the 4 eyeshadows in the quad. Feline is totally in there too. MAC should make it perminant, but at least they realize its popular enough to keep repromoting it.

Bonnie Avatar

*sigh of relief* I’m not really into pale colors lately. I’m glad there’s really nothing in this collection that appeals to me, because my makeup wishlist is way too long already! 🙂

Dini Avatar

Nothing pale goes over very well on me, so I’ll be skipping most of this collection. Maybe something will catch my eye once I see swatches or go see the colors in store.

Amanda Dubs Avatar

the paint pots are pretty but theyre not a good base for me as they crease after 4-5 hours. If I put them over another shadow base like the primer potion would both things work just as well?

Morgan Avatar

This collection is pretty but not suited for my taste. I’m going to hold off until the Peacocky & MIckey Contractor collections come aorund. Any idea when we will see promo pictures of these two? How about the stylishly collection that is coming out at the same time as this one?

Sarah Avatar

I noticed the model in the promo is wearing a very Lady Gaga-ish latex outfit, however…hopefully MAC will Photoshop out the model’s lack of a pasty?

Shontay07108 Avatar

It is really annoying to me that we still don’t have a price for the highlight powders. I want them but not if the price is ridiculous. I just want to know now if it’s yay or nay.

Alyx Avatar

Is it sad that because these promo pics look amazing I should feel disappointed automatically? Lol seems like every time I write a list of things to get I never get anything because they aren’t what I thought

Carrie Ann Avatar

I’m sure I’ll get at least 2 of the Lipgelees, since I love them so much. I might be interested in the Lavendar Lip Conditioner or Fix +. The beige Lip Conditioner seems too similar to Close for Comfort from the Warm & Cozy collection. The e/s quad looks really pretty, but I already have 2 out of the 4. It’s great that they’re bringing back Feline and the Chromagraphic pencils (they should just add them to the permanent collection). I’m hesitant to get any new Paint Pots because the ones I have are not creamy at all.

Amanda Avatar

Does anyone know if this collection will come out a couple days earlier online like usual? Or will it be available online the same time it hits stores?

Shannon!! Avatar

OMG! I love this collection, there goes all of my saved up money!!!
Why do MAC have to come out with such good collections??
I cannot wait for the highlight powders, paintpots… and I absolutely love the nail polishes!
Should I try feline? I have smoulder, are they basically the same thing?

Ana G. Avatar

OMG!!! I’m sooo glad I didn’t spend any money on the Tartan collection. I can save up for this because it all looks so nice. My kind of colors for the winter 🙂

Margaret Avatar

I’m excited for the quad because I just started collecting mac and don’t have those eyeshadows yet! They all look so pretty! I’m excited for the new paint pots too:)

Courtney Avatar

Not really digging the colours or seeing anything special in this collection. Maybe I’ll get the quad if that. Hopefully Peacocky will be better.

Lisa Avatar

YAAAYY!!! MAC is REALLY REALLY being nice on my wallet for these past few collections :D:D:D cant tell u how happy i am that the only thing that interests me here is FELINE!!!! thanks Christine

Marcela Avatar

even though i lean towards dramatic, intense colors, i’m super excited for this collection because i see these colors working beautifully during winter. especially excited for new paint pots, the highlighting powders and lipsticks!

Kelly C. Avatar

Thank you for updating this post with pictures! So far all I really really want is the Dangerous Cuvee paint pot, and perhaps one of the lipgelees.

LesleyKat Avatar

FYI people, I covered backstage during last weeks New York Fashion Week and this stuff was at just about every show. Beautiful collection. I’m excited to finally see it come out in stores.

ak Avatar

The model for the campaign is ugly but at least she’s unique with it. I like her hair and strong cheekbones.

Also Flustered lipstick and the lip gelees sound good, and the paint pots. Oh OK also the beige lip conditioner.

Judy Avatar

I have to say. I feel that this collection is suppose to represent natural, gentle and calm, but the model is scaring the bejesus out of me. Yikes! She’s seems too rough for this collection.
Not to be a major pain Christine, but any idea when the Stylishly Yours collection photos will be up?

Katie Avatar

i’ve never had feline! so i think i’m gonna grab on for me and one for a friend whos birthday is at the beginning of january! is it possible to call the store and reserve products?!

veneta Avatar

Yes yes yes! I’m so excited about this collection! I don’t liked the last two LEs, except the Maleficent nailpolish, so finally something pretty nude stuff. =)

stephanie Avatar

I don’t understand the difference between Feline and Smoulder! Aren’t they both black eyekohls?

Also what does a chromagraphic pencinl do and is it worth getting fix + lavender if I dont have fix plus yet?

metallady Avatar

i cant wait for this collection.i love sparkly nudes! when is this comming to the UK?????? :)P.s. love your website/info on these brand Temptalia 🙂

Maddy Avatar

i hope the tinted lip conditioner will be similar to the feelin good one from the warm and cozy collection! i regret not buying it! so if this is anything like it im buying two!

aera :) Avatar

ooh, these gorgeous items are right up my alley!

i’m considering:
bubble lounge, sin-tillation, luxure lipgelees
chilled on ice, vintage selection paint pots
fix + and lavander

i was a bit undecided for a moment about whether or not to pick up a couple of felines but i hate sharpening pencil eyeliners so that was an easy pass.

Yanna Avatar

I can’t wait for the paint pots!!! I think those are what I’m most excited about =) I would go for the quad, but retrospeck and brule are already permanent. And I already have a bout 5 or 6 backups of Et Tu, Bouquet?, it’s the one eyeshadow I use the most on my brides!!! I’m not too crazy about caviar dreams though. Thanks for the pictures!!!

Mabeline Avatar

This is the collection that I am saving up for. I wonder if my pro discount will apply for this collection since it isn’t associated with an established name like Disney. Regardless, I have to get the paint pots. 🙂

Jolene Avatar

I’m excited for the Caviar Dreams Eyeshadow Quad! I have Brule, nothing special but it’s a handy shade to have. Dying to try Retrospeck out, and the two others look great, too. Finally a palette that I actually want!
I wonder if the Fix+ Lavender will be a succes, seeing as the originel smell is divine enough already.

Sharron Avatar

So… Am I the only who immediately thought of the malt liquor when I saw the name of this collection? To quote the Beastie Boys, “I got class like pink Champale.”

I’ll probably pick up Feline and one of the nail polishes, but fortunately for my wallet, the rest of the collection doesn’t really do it for me.

gabriella Avatar

my list :
paint pot- chilled on ice, chromographic pencil nc15/nw20
special reserve highlight power in chez chez lame
and i have to check the lipgelees and lipsticks in person or when i see swatches.. i want almost all!!! 🙂

Olivia Avatar

Finally a scented Fix+ to replace the plain smelling one. I love that they are offering it in Lavender! I was so sad when they discontinued Fix+ Rose so this will make me happy again 🙂

Amanda Dubs Avatar

Can someone tell me what is so good about the paint pots? They don’t work as a base for me. They crease terribly after awhile. Have to use a base under that base haha.

Nimmi Avatar

oh wow that comfort cream sounds alot like BB creams. I wonder if it’s because of popular demand in Asia that they’re trying it out in the U.S?

For your information, BB creams are these tinted mosturizer/skincare product/ sunscreen. Many people absolutely love this product and it’s a major major hit in Asia.

Nimmi Avatar

Oh wow, really? So I guess it’s probably a collaboration between the two. But still I’m pretty excited! It sounds like it has the best of everything in a tube! 😀

Macy Avatar

This collection looks amazing! I’m so excited for everything! Any idea when you’ll be putting more pictures and swatches up, Christine? Definitely saving up my money now!

Trisha Avatar

I honestly have not been impressed with much that MAC has launched recently. But I have to say I am jumping up and down about new paint pots!!! The grey and white gold sound AMAZING!!!!!!!!

Skye Avatar

Christine,
I was just wondering if there will be a unavailing party on the 21st?
I’ve always wanted to go to one and just wanted to know if that’s how stores do it ?

Polly Avatar

Sorry, I don’t know the ropes around here… but do you generally swatch (on lips esp) before the release date? Like do you get a media-pass advance on the products or something 🙂 Thanks! xx
I’m liking the look of the tinted lip conditioner. I own a plain one but even then, my lips are too dry for nude lipsticks, even lustres/glazes. So maybe this could work!!

Cham-Pale and Stylishly your was just released on mac pro’s website. Will you be doing any swatches.False lashes mascara is also on there. Dying to see swatches and getting ready to place a nice big order. Just waiting for all your info, which is always a GREAT help. Thank You

Hi Christine! The Cham Pale and Stylishly Yours collection is available online for PRO members as of today! By any chance, will you be swatching any of these items soon?! I’m really undecided on the paint pots. Hope to hear from you soon! Take Care and Happy Holidays 😉

i’m no prude and living in France i’m used to seeing plenty of nude ads, but for US , it’s kind of shocking that MAC chose to blatantly put a nipple in their ad that will undoubtedly be in poster-size format in malls across America. it’s trying a little to hard IMO.

Yeah can’t wait until I can finally get Feline. Paint Posts look interesting as well.

I wonder if they noticed how see through that dress was. Not a bit deal of course but yeah hahaha.

OMG, I really hope they *actually* misspelled “Lavender” on the Fix+ bottles. That would be hilarious :D. Seriously, why does nobody in the marketing world ever seem to use spell-check?

EEK! Two new collections launching on the same day??! Eh! I’m holding out for the Mickey Contractor Collaboration-BUT there has been soo much talk in the beauty world about Feline Kohl pencil that I HAVE to pick one up.

Definitely will check out the new paint pots…I bought Rubanesque as my first one ever and I kinda regret it because I’m NC44.5 and its very sheer on me! Would love to get soft Ochre, Indianwood and Constructivist from the permanent line first before getting any frosty finish ones!

Man, I’m going to broke once the collections come to the UK!

The products look pretty, but what on Earth did they do to the models in the promo pics? The dark girl looks like a crumpled newspaper and the white girl just looks weird. I bet they’d be much prettier without the makeup on 😛

It may seem boring but I am such a neutral lover so I basically want everything in this collection! Ok… Maybe not everything, but I especially want the chromagraphic pencil (metallic nude on waterline?? Hot!!) and fix + lavender .. I’ve wanted to try fix + for a long time and the lavender would be a nice touch

Kelly Avatar

Oh my gosh, I think I want all the lipsticks and Chilled on Ice, I will probably skip the permanent lipstick shades though since I can get them anytime!

Ok, so I headed into my local pro store today and was introduced to this collection (they ladies JUST got it in the other day). It was off behind the main store in a small little alcove (looked like a powder room). And let me tell you! I went crazy. The colors in person (especially the paint pots!) are just exquisite! I live with an autoimmune disease called lupus which actually attacks my skin from time to time, and I am SUPER excited to get the calming lotion! I ended up pre-ordering a bunch. This is going to be a nice addition to add to my existing collection. I nearly bought the entire collection, but I wanted to save some for the upcoming peacock one. Don’t miss out on these limited editions ladies, you’ll regret it if you are a die hard MAC fan.

Do you know when this is supposed to launch on the MAC website? I know it’s on Nordstrom.com, but I’d rather buy from from the MAC site. (free shipping codes, lol) It’s not up right now. =/

Is it me only, but MAC fluidline in ‘blacktrack’ put on the waterline smudges on me after 2-3 hours? It’s so annoying! It have such a watery eyes, that urban decay 24/7 in zero smudges, MAC smolder smudges, the fluidlines too. Even if I try to set it with a powder 🙁 So annoying! 😀

Bridget Avatar

I want so much of this! But sadly, I’m broke after Christmas.

Anyone know when this is going to be online? I’ve been stalking the website for days.

Fatana Avatar

haha 😀 I didnt ask that right lol 😀

I meant which eyeshadows are which in the palette…like it doesnt make sense on the container…..it says s and l and f and l…

Fatana Avatar

No problem lol 😀

Like I’m so happy there are blogs and websites out there that help me get other people’s take on makeup and also have a “problem” with it like I do.

My friends think I’m crazy because I buy so much of it but I LOVE it and its great seeing someone else love it tooo.

I can’t belive that I Get No Kick is SOLD OUT already!!! It was the only thing I wanted to buy 😀 I am pretty new to MAC limited collecions, so I have no idea, if an item is sold out so quickly, do they re-stock it, or is it totally gone for now?

Alison Avatar

I wonder if MAC released this knowing what champale is. They drank it in the hood in Boston in the late 60s/early 70s. My dad could tell you some stories

Alli Winston Avatar

really need some help here….so, I’m rahter new to MAC and getting back into the makeup swing of things (long story…) but trying to build my collection. I’m a pretty simple makeup girl, neutral, don;t take a whole lot of risks (working n that…) but I can’t decide bw chilled on ice or vintage selection for paint pots (i do have rsvp by benefit btw…), and eventhough these aren’t part of this collection, I am really looking for a blush that will be an everyday type color, and I’m bw well dressed and blushbaby. I’m pretty light, skin-tone wise – wear mineralized skin finish natural in light-medium and an NC20 for reference. I don;t have a MAC store nearby so i have to order online…and I jsut am unsure, so any help would be greatly appreciated by Christine or any of your fab followers!!! thanks all!
