MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna
Available December 26th, 2008
“Hello possums!” Dame Edna Everage is in the house! With her zesty zingers, over-the-top appearance - lilac hair (which she claims is natural), bedazzled specs, fanciful frocks - there’s nothing like a Dame! The alter ego of brilliantly wicked Aussie comedian, Barrie Humphries, and the resident muse for our post-holiday make up collection, Dame Edna thinks of herself as “probably the most popular and gifted woman in the world today: housewife, investigative journalist, social anthropologist, talk-show host, swami, children’s book illustrator, spin doctor, megastar and icon.” With packaging as mirthful and minx-like as the Legend herself, the Dame Collection of heavy-on-the-lilac Lipstick/Lipglass, Eye Shadow, Highlight Powder and Nail Lacquers is in a class by itself!

Hi Rocketqueen,
After reading your blog, I went to youtube and tried to find the promo video but could not find it. Do you have a link for it by any chance?
Thanx

The color payoff is excellent for the trios. I was really impressed when I saw them.

The packaging for this collection is incredibly tacky. It makes me not even want to buy anything..

Dame Edna *is* tacky.

Wow, this whole collection just isn’t for me–I think the only things I’m tempted by are the nail polishes!

OHHHHHH I think its is just too cheezy cute fun!!! Majorly dorky silly AND I think I might be getting a pretty good chunk of this collection. I think I am at the point in my MAC collecting that I am just really only going to buy LE packing items and this certainly qualfies :) I will likely get all or most of the lippies, the pink blush BUT none of the eye products or polishes though.

I didn’t know about this collection!
I am not interested in the least in the e/s trios. These days, considering that I own 100+ e/s, I have become sooo picky. I also already own Climate Blue (which I loooove), and as for the other colors, I have lots of similar ones. However, I DO want the 3 lippies - especially since some are amplified (is MAC bringing back some amplified lippies in the guise of some LE collection? I thought that they were phasing them out.. Same happened with “Red She Said). Also want the 2 powder compacts and the 2 nail lacquers, that is until I see them in person.

hmmm…I think I’ll pass on this one. The only thing that catches my eye is the coral lipstick.

To be honest, this collection doesn’t do anything for me. The only thing that I really like is the Royal Tour Eye Trio.
Heather

Eh, I’ll probably get the lipglasses, but that’s it. Nothing else looks interesting.

Omigosh I abso-effin-lutely LOVE Dame Edna and this just seems so tame for the Dame. I guess the blue/purple pallet is cool and the lip stuff looks lush but the packaging… Well, purple and red will forever mean crazy old woman ala “Red Hat Society” to me. Not really what a younger woman wants to be associated with when she takes out a compact. I may pick up a powder if the packaging is fun and quality like Heatherette and not a sticker like Fafi. I’ll really need to see this in person because it could be fab or it could just not.

I am very excited about this collection, but I must say that the name “varicose” for a cosmetic item, is not very glamorous. Though, considering the collection, kinda funny.

love the dame edna glasses on the packaging - not digging the colors! except the red lip stick

I’m not sure about this one - i thought for Dame Edna they’d pull out all the stops for BRIGHT eye colours but these are blah.
Ah well at least I won’t have to save to spend some on this collection, I might get the kanga-rouge lipstick but that’s it :(

Blech! Do not like the red glasses. They remind me of the elderly aunt with bad makeup and too much perfume. I’m afraid it’ll give me nightmares.
Mariah

Um, can I just say, “EW.”? Polyp? Vericose?
I think I may throw up. X/ Seriously. Grossest makeup names EVER.
These don’t interest me much, but the names alone turn me off completely.
Lydia
Sunday, October 19, 2008
The names are gross but I love the packaging sooo much! lol
Ashley

I am so so excited for this collection! I think the packaging is ADORABLE!! I plan on getting:
Kanga-Rouge l/s
Gladiola l/s
Hot Frost l/g
Possum Nose l/g
Wisteria Eye Trio (though I love the other one, the purple looks gorgeous but I have Climate Blue and to try and keep within a budget I’ve vowed not to buy duplicates!)
Spectacle powder compact.
This all depends on swatches of course!

Squee! I have been waiting for more info on this collection! I love so much of it. Oh, HOORAY. I’ve been utterly luke warm about the recent releases so it is great to be eagerly anticipating something again.
This collection has so much humor - I love that. I wish more people were willing to have a bit of fun with their makeup, in so many ways.

what are the powder compacts?

woohoo, my wallet is happy! The only thing that slightly appears to me is splendid lipglass! Perfectly doable considering I’ll have some gift cards left over from the Holiday season! You’d think I’d have a fit over this collection, but now that I see it, it seems to be colors I already have.

While the packaging is cute, the colors don’t speak to me… unless Heatherette… So most likely I am going to pass on Dame Edna.
