I’m in love with this collection! Mainly because I love navy blue and white stripes and the colours of the products look amazing.
OMG I need all of this collection, gonna start saving now!!! xxx
would have loved to see mutiny pigment! oh well:(
Mutiny is on allcosmeticswholesale.com
YES YES YES!
I’m excited about this! I can’t wait to see some swatches! I love the nautical theme, but I think the lipgloss packaging is way to busy..
I squealed when I saw this! I love the packaging, there are so many things I want! MAC’s so expensive here in Australia though… need to start saving ASAP!!
Yes I am also in Australia, and seing it costs double over here, I will only get a few products. Love the look of this collection, very classy and nautical at the same time. Reminds me of a 50′s theme for some reason.
Aiee! It’s just too much. I’m feeling a bit dizzy after having looked at all those stripes lol. My initial reaction is that these products look old-fashioned but not in a good way. I really couldn’t see myself wearing eyeshadow colours like that in the summer. I’ll be passing on this.
That was my reaction too, old fashioned. The navy blue packaging keeps screaming “it’s the 80′s again” and not in a good way. And navy blue eyeshadow for summer? No.
The only thing that looks interesting here is that Barefoot eyeshadow, other than that it all looks like a pass for me
Have to say, I don’t like the packaging – the design is way too ‘busy’ and hurts my eyes.
Just a few bits there I like, thank goodness. MAC has been putting out way too many collections lately, and I just can’t afford to buy all the bits I would like
Loooooooooooooove the bag!!!
BEAUTIFUL! MY wallet is hurting lol just looking at this line! I can’t wait!
I wish I was more excited by the colour story. I’m disappointed that this is the flagship collection for summer, or so I’m assuming by the size. I can see tons of this heading straight to the CCOs to be totally honest.
But thanks for the preliminary info, Christine!
I dont know about the packaging, its a bit too much.
Finally something with cute packaging! I’m so excited for this collection. Hopefully the items I’m interested in perform well!! Which is quite a few!! ;D
Oh my poor wallet! Yes please – this actually looks great. Looking forward to swatch time
I realize the eye colours are brighter and more jewel toned, but Naughty Nauticals wasn’t that long ago. Another disappointment from MAC.
Do you find that MAC seems to recycle themes every few years??
But in fashion alone do you not feel that the sailor theme comes around EVERY summer? Not that I’m complaining cos I love it but everyones recycles!
Brenda, what I also find funny is that the name “Hey, Sailor” was also a name from one of the glosses in the Naughty Nauticals Collection! LOL.
Agreed, I do find the nautical theme appears every summer in some form or another!
And that’s true – there was a Hey Sailor lipgloss!! I feel like they’re trying to pull a fast one here….LOL
finally! the packaging matches the theme!
LOOKS AWESOME!
Awwww this is soooo cute! I’m loving this design!
Now THAT’S how you do a collection, MAC!
Love it, but DAYUM MAC is really churning them out!
High-Light Powder in Crew is the only thing I’m interested in this collection in terms of product. Gone Sailing Tote is really cute however and maybe the first one I liked from MAC other then the HK on.
im loving that third powder after the eyeshadows and so excited for suntints!! cant wait to see them swatched.
Perfect packaging finally! Yay!
I was so excited for this collection, hoping that they would repromote Shore Leave eyeshadow from Naughty Nauticals and I could stop obsessively saving the one I have now. Then I see “Shore Leave” and get all excited, until I realize that it’s a lip pencil?!?!? Not cool, MAC. Not cool.
I agree. Shore Leave eyeshadow is great. To have the name recycled to describe a lip pencil? Piff!
Well, given that the whole collection is named the same as the Hey Sailor lipglass… which isn’t even in the launch… somehow it’s not surprising.
Ooooooo my wallet is gonna get real skinny
I CAN’T WAIT!
I hope the quallity is good <3
I will demur about one thing: The packaging makes me, er, sea-sick. No, really, I feel dizzy looking at it!
Dazzle camo! The navy used to paint the bottoms of ships like that to confuse enemy submarines. (Many decades later some clothing manufacturer used it to pattern a very unfortunate pair of stirrup pants that ten-year-old me inexplicably got at the Bon-Ton, and then wanted to vomit every time I saw them.)
On a nerd level I kind of love the packaging and the bag, but in reality I would just wonder if everyone was crying for the eye bleach.
I want them all (well almost) and I am broke (entirely)!
Crikeys, they really don’t give you a second to breathe do they! The last lot only just launched and straight away they announce the next lot! Love the packaging, hate the promo photo though. Definitely interested in a few items.
Shut up. That packaging is amazing.
Wow! Its best collection ever I see in years!
Great package with colours!
I’m defin buy them!!
Haven’t bought any makeup in months. Finally, a collection I can get into. And the packaging is adorable. Happiness
This collection looks promising. I hope it isn’t a dud like some of the past MAC collections have been.
This is a huge collection! I wonder if MAC will be able to deliver quality with this quantity. The packaging…way too many stripes for my eyes…
Not crazy about the packaging, but that gold shadow looks gorgeous (and right up your alley, Christine)!!
What’s the difference between the bronzing powder and the pro bronzing powder?
One is pro and the other is not. (pause) Okay, seriously. I have no idea.
The bronzers are the regular, permanent formula. The Pro Longwear bronzers are new and part of the Pro Longwear line, so they’ll probably have some promise of long wear time. They’ve really been fleshing out the PL line…foundation, concealer, shadows, liners, more lipsticks, glosses, and now the bronzers. I personally LOVE the concealer and glosses, so can’t wait for these bronzers!
I ADORE the packaging. So fun and I love whatever lip the model is wearing in the promo image – maybe a combo of the Red Racer and Send Me Sailing?
Wow, a collection where I don’t want a single thing. It’s funny, I’ve got the exact same coloring as the model but I’m just not feeling the look.
May I just take a moment to say how much I envy you? My first thought on seeing these photos was how much I LOVE the look on the model; it instantly makes me want to be a redhead. But, although fair, I don’t have that slight honey-tone to my skin (I’m just…white), so it wouldn’t work as well with that beautiful orange-red hair. When I did go red for a while, it was a more primary red. Which is cool in it’s own way, but just not the same.
And light blue eyes can pull off medium and dark blue shadow/liner beautifully; I once heard a makeup artist describe it as a “color shadow”, and it is a challenging look to achieve. My light blue/green/grey eyes are too murky to do it properly; and when I sometimes wear very blue contacts, they are too dark for the look.
Anyhow, thus ends my wistful yearning. My only consolation is that you will try this look yourself on my behalf…please? You certainly don’t need anything from this collection, the colors are very dupable. But I hope you will try this look and celebrate your fair titian beauty!
OMG! love the packaging, it is super nice. I am glad there isn’t much products that appeal to me, they all beautiful but I don’t rock the red or orange lip or the frosty shadows anymore. I will get just a few, I already spent a lot in the early collections.
SUNTINTS ~ Yah! I love these darn tubes of spf lip balms
I think it’s Vestral White
I hate to sound like a fashion snob but I think this collection and the packaging look a little dated.
so far I am loving those navy blue and green eyeshadow! Not sure if I like the navy design on the containers though, but I know me and I know I’ll be crazy to get some of those items…
I guess I will end up saving some money on this one because the only two things I see that interest me are the green eyeshadow and the green eye pencil. However, since the green shadow is a frost I wonder if I have a color in my Yaby pearl palette that will be a close dupe.
Just when I vowed to go on a make-up diet this comes out. Ok, I HAVE TO get me some and then that’s it for at least a year. So far the shadows are awesome as are the pigments and lipsticks. Cute packaging too.
I’m so excited for tis collection! There’s quite a few things I think I’m going the get. The packaging is so cute!
OMG! So excited! I actually really thought I would be bummed out with this collection because when I saw that initial promo pic I totally thought “Oh, Sailor, so… blue and red… great… just like Wonder Woman…” =/ But I am pleasantly surprised!! They have the blue in red in there, but so much more! Plenty to choose from! Should be something in there for everyone! I’m already eyeing a number of colors! Woo Hoo! And I really like the packaging… Granted, the pics with the striped products against the striped backgrounds is a bit much… but, unless you store your makeup against a white and blue striped backdrop (totally possible! ha!) I don’t think it will be an issue once you just have an individual item. Man, I LOVE special packaging collections! Such a sucker!! I can’t help it. =D
Might be interested in Red Racer, but that’s about it.
I also have to agree with everyone who doesn’t like the packaging.. it’s too busy. :/
I like the packaging but I would have to see what the product look like in person
Love the packaging. I also love the bags…really nice.
how many nautical collections have they had now, lol? still, looks very pretty.
wish they had brought out the hey sailor lipglass as well. still cant wait tho!! woooohoooo
Love the nautical packaging!
Sad to see Marine Life didn’t somehow make a return though!
Oh yeah, that would’ve been good.
Love it!!!
Finally, a collection I am excited about, can’t wait for the swatches. And the review. <3
AWESOME !! This collection is to die for !! I haven’t bought any mac since Semi – Precious and that was ages ago. Looking foward to this.
FINALLY cool limited edition packaging. Honestly I dont even look at a collection from MAC anymore unless it has different packaging. It isn’t worth it to me otherwise, since their lip products make my lips peal and their eyeshadow melt off my lids without a primer. Looks cute. Might check out a blush.
Love the packaging! I know the Gone Sailing Tote will cost a fortune but I need it! It’s perfect for my summer trips to Martha’s Vineyard!
Love the packaging and Feeling Fresh is going to be a must have for me! Can’t wait!!
I’m interested in the lip pencils and the tarnished gold eyeshadow, and maybe the red lipstick, but that’s about it. The packaging’s not really my cup of tea.
Really not a fan of the packaging but some of the products themselves look quite nice
Can’t wait to see some swatches!
oh those lipsticks *_*
I am ruined. I need that tote and all at least the two pale lipsticks and the gold eye colours…. I am a sucker for sailor themed stuff… good buy money T_T
I like the packaging, and I can see a few couple of lip products tickling my fancy.. but not too sure about the rest. Happy to see new sun tints, I liked the last few I got!
ooooh myyyy gooooodddd! i looooove nautical stuff! i’m going to be sooo broke. but i’m so exciteeed
I am SOO disappointed
where are my teals and golden peaches??
To The Beach and Surf Baby were WAY better!
I’m such a sucker for dark blue eye shadow, and I love the outer packaging. Interesting that the prices are the same. I must admit I’m intrigued.
LOVE A LOT OF THIS!
Not feeling the packaging , but the orange and peach lipglasses are calling me.
coral, not peach.
Amazing packaging and perfect for a limited edition roll-out in Spring, adds a nice dash of colour into our make-up bags
I love the red lip colour too, really nice shade.
I’m not generally a MAC person because I usually feel like there are better, more wearable products in their price range, but this collection is doing it for me!! May be the first thing in years to get me to stop by a MAC counter!
OMG !!!! Am I dead ?! Is THIS heaven … I love this Packaqinq !!!
OMG the MAC summer collections make me always fall in love!!! This is no exception! I’m already in love with it!!!! ♥
I’m diggin that Navy blue pigment!
I love the green eyeshadow-feeling fresh!!!
oh my god, this packaging. yes.
finally, another collection where it isn’t a slide out sleeve or some terribly designed snow-globe crap.
So I had decided that I wasn’t going to buy from this collection, and then I continued scrolling… because of the packaging, I WANT EVERYTHING!
im gonna need all of this.
FINALLY special packaging!! I love it! But it can be too much at times but I’m lovin’ it either way! SO EXCITED!
I work on a boat… I need this in my hot little hands pronto.
Oh dear ohdearohdear, now THIS is gonna be the end of my budget. I mean look at that packaging! So lovely! Could anyone tell me what Suntints are? Are they new?
I get the feeling that they are a tinted moisturizer but they seem tiny and shimmery.. Anything to rival my beloved laura Mercier?
Aw, I even want the bag!
They are lip balms!
I’ll purchase something from this collection just for the packaging.
I love the packaging!! I hope MAC would do more special packaging like this for more collections<3 I really like "Shore Leave" Lip Pencil, but i will never pay $20 for a lip pencil.. =$
Love the theme!! MAC has been so disappointing lately, hopefully this will be good. Very very excited!
everything about this looks amazing! i’m in love
Hey look! A model for MAC that actually has freckles! Yay
Yeah, she’s gorgeous!
YAY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR MAC TO HAVE ANOTHER LIMITED EDITION PACKAGING COLLECTION!! love this!! yaaay.
I like the packaging on this, but yet ANOTHER nautical themed collection from MAC? I feel like we get these same colors over and over again in new packaging and are supposed to pretend we are excited because they are shiny and “new”. And this collection contains quite a few permanent products as well… blah, I’ll be skipping this one…
Nothing much there that interests me except for one of the eyeshadows (don’t know which as there are no names with the photos). Not mad about the packaging.
Shore Leave is the name of an eyeshadow from the Naughty Nauticals launch. I protest!
OMG a summer collection that I might actually like. That’s RARE! (And my wallet is sc***ed, lol)
Any guess about what the model is wearing? Love the lips, but I don’t see anything like that in the product descriptions. The reds are described as “yellow red”, that doesn’t look yellow at all to me…
I love it all!
omg I LOVE EVERYTHING I SEE!!!! and that tote will be MINE!
I’m looking forward to the lipsticks, but sadly the eyeshadows aren’t picking my interest
Cute packaging….however a little bummed on the theme since Naughty Nauticals was all ready done. Oh well…I might pick up a few pieces since the summer collections are my favorite.
Looks at pictures.
Reads descriptions.
*MELTS* <3
The only thing that interests me is some of the lip products. I will definitely check out: Salute!, Sail La Vie, and Saunter. Depending on the quality of the glosses, I might grab the coral or orange one. I’m not particularly loving the special packaging, which is odd, since I do love Nautical themed stuffs. Hmm.
I still say Lure Collection FTW when it comes to their summer collections.
SO CUTE OH MY GOD I’M GONNA DIE
Well after this drops, I’ll be broke! Awesome, thanks MAC!
So much love for the packaging! Will be buying a few items just for it
Oh my!!! I’m in love with this collection! The packaging is Ah-mazing, the eyeshadows and the lipsticks!!! Wow! Can’t wait!
I’VE NEVER BEEN THIS EXCITED FOR A COLLECTION EVER BEFORE?! When are you going to be doing swatches and everything?
May 20th!
