I love navy and I love tha packaging of this collection!! I’ll try to get at least a lipstick and an eyeshadow!
The stripes are giving me vertigo. Kudos Mac, kudos.
I know that the products haven’t been released to the public, but is the bronzer in Soft Sand lighter than Refined Golden? I tried RG a while ago and it was waayyyy too orange on me. To me, the photos make it look lighter! Thanks.
MAC bronzers are always orange-y. Loving the compact, but planning on Nars Laguna. Unless MAC really surprises me.
When will this be available for MAC Pro makeup artists?
The ONE collection from M.A.C i get excited for, their summer collection
. I love the nautical theme and packaging!
finally they made a launch that has cool packaging other than just the box it comes in!
yes yes a thousand times yes!!
Hmm I’m not impressed. I expected something better from MAC’s summer collection. I loved To The Beach and Surf Baby. I’ll be saving money this summer!
I love them. wiiiiiiiiiiiii
I normally don’t pay too much attention to MAC–too hard to keep up, but there is so much I like in this collection. It doesn’t hurt that I love anything nautical–the tote would make a darling beach bag!!
ME TOO, Cindy! Nautical lovers unite!
I NEED THIS WHOLE COLLECTION!!
Amazing packaging! =) I might buy a lipstick just for the packaging even though the colours all sound the same to me.
Okay, I have to admit the packaging is adorable, and if Red Racer is what the ad model is wearing, I am all over it. Emerald Sea looks promising, too.
Hi,
I really LOVE this blog, and I want to link to your blog, is that OK?
Yes!
Summer is always special with MAC ….
lovedddddddddddd the colors and the packaging
The reds and greens<3 Love the navy blues too but too dark for my baby face. Interesting twist on Summer. Not incredibly unique though.
This is the 2nd collection from MAC that I’m actually excited about! (The other being Venemous Villains) I can wait to see how these are! They look fantastic!
Ohhhhhhhh! I can’t wait!!! I love me anything nautical!
Ooh, this looks so lovely! Pity I’m in New Zealand, everything will be so expensive
Still, I’d love to pick up a few lipsticks. Looking forward to the swatches
Love the packaging <3
Packaging looks nice but I’m steering clear from the Suntints! IMO they are horrible. Too much SPF you can actually taste it. ;(
i am very excited about this collection! i love the theme! i love the colors! i love the packaging! i love it all! =D
I want the lip tints! and I’m a sucker for that packaging!
Her makeup looks like she is posing for an Estee Lauder brand.
Whew! What a relief! I’m shoppin’ til i’m droppin’ on the April collections (Reel Sexy, Tres Cheek, and Extra Dimension), but this one is just enh for me.
I may only “have” to have one thing, that striped dimensional powder – i’m guessing it’s “Crew” High-Light Powder. I’m also attracted to the gold eye shadow and eye liner, but they don’t look necessities, since i have other gold shadows and liners.
My credit card is thanking MAC for this respite
Love the cute packaging!!!
I’m a sucker for anything nautical! Love the packaging, products, colors etc. I decided to pass on all the spring collections to save money for this one. However, I never make a major purchase without consulting Consumer Reports and I consider you, Christine, my consumer reports for makeup. Your honest reviews have saved me a bunch! Gotta see the reviews of this collection before I buy:)
I’m undoubtedly probably going to buy all of those lipsticks. SO EXCITED. Except for, maybe, uh… “To Catch a Sailor”… “highly frosted tan”? Yikes, no thanks.
YES. finally a quality cute-packaged collection!
Kind of reminds me of an amped up version of Naughty Nauticals – would’ve been cool to see Port Red repromoted with it. Overall, I do really dig the packaging though but will have to see swatches before I’m swayed :/
I am so excited about this!!
No Port Red Lipstick? Disappinted. And my Naval Blue pigment is matte. Confusing!
I’ll be fighting for those Pro Longwear Lip Pencils, but I feel like I have this look in my stash, even the brass nail polish. It was gold at Holiday. I’m glad to see special packaging at last! But what’s in it? Have it. I can trot out Cool Heat and do this look.
I am liking that fluffy goat brush though…
I WANT THE ENTIRE COLLECTION!!!!!!!!!!!
I will be saving up for this collection. whipping out the calculator….any ideas to get some extra cash for a teenager?
I’m sure the products will be so-so as usual, but I will definitely pick up a few things for that adorable packaging! I’m a sucker for gimmicky presentation. LOVE!
Eyeshadow is $14.50? What is this magical place?
LOVE LOVE LOVE ! cant wait!
I better start saving up! the packaging is adorable!
Barefoot is gorgeous! The perfect gold i’ve been looking for for a month now. Hoping it swatches as pretty and pigmented as it looks! Love the packaging on this collection as well.
I’m a litte bit obsessed with this packaging
The entire collection make me want to do nautical nails, I have a problem lol x
I am so ECSTATIC for this collection is looks amazing
THIS
IS
GORGEOUS
I want it so bad !!!!! Too bad the prices here in Brasil are just.. impossible. It’s just ridiculous. I hope I get to travel soon before this is over !!! I LOVE IT !! They should have made the brush in that cool blue pattern too, it’s so beautiful !
I totallly agree about the brush! That would have been the cherry on the cake;)
Can’t wait for this one
I’m going to be a sailor for Halloween! This is perfect!
I think this would have been a great collection to repromote Mutiny with! Sad that it wasn’t
OMG!!! I want everything and I know I can’t afford that much It’s so sad:( I don’t know what to do (cry)
What are the chances that Gem of Roses gets repromoted soon? Its my HG!
what is the exact time these come out online?
I love that makes bag set! I have a general idea of what I want but I’m going to wait for the swatches until I make my dial decisions. When are you able to release swatches, I want to see the colors sooo badly?
I am going to sound very silly, but I just want the bag! LOL
FINALLY CUTE PACKAGING! omg.. the whole lot is MINE. Hurry up and Come to australia!!!!! hehehe
loving the nude lip pencil and the lipstick colors but other than that It’s not anything too great and alot I can pass on. The packaging of this collection is nice but it is alot going on and my eyes were a lil whoooo after looking at it all, but it’s not horrible just dizzying!
This collection is nice but they eyeshadow colors could have been more summer inspired!
Now THAT is PACKAGING!!! That’s the best packaging MAC ever came up with. Lovely looking and with nice colors too.
a lot of these colour descriptions sound like theyre aimed at warmer-based skintones…which is awesome, the colours are very pretty, but im decidedly cooler-based, so i’ll probably sit most of this one out. the make up tote, however…i LOVE it!
You have no idea, IM SOSOSOOSOSOSO EXCITED FOR THIS COLLECTION!!
The packaging is so cool.
IWANTEVERYTHINGG<3
who's excited?
i better start saving! i love mac summer collectionsss
Yay! This collection looks amazing! Love the lip/eyeliners, lipsticks, highlight powder and far too much more, also this packaging is lovely, better get saving girls!!!
Will this also be available at Nordstrom counters? I’m assuming they might since they’ve had the last 2 summer collections there as well…
I am so excited for 3 of these lipsticks. Particularly the Salute! one.
I’ve been dying to see MAC’s really big summer collection. Last year, I was in love with the surf baby collection, but I have to say, this disappoints me. I see like maybe one lipstick I like. I feel like MAC really needs to step up their game.
This all launches on my birthday! I’m sorry, wallet. In swear I’ll be better to you in another life.
The design is way too busy, so it’s a no-no. Gee, I hate navy blue.
But I’ll be keeping an eye on the brush, even if I’m not crazy for short handles :/
When should we expect a video review of this collection? Yours are AMAZING!!
I think I am going to buy EVERYTHING in this collection ….. Navy blue is my wedding colour and OMG i love this……..
OMG! Haven’t been this excited for a mac collection since the venomous villains one! AMAZING packaging, the colors of Finland’s flag too xD Duhh, my poor little wallet!
i totally love this…reminds me of naughty nauticals but better! please review it soon christine, i can’t wait to see more! also, does that makeup bag have that mini bag attached to it? i hope they detach!
I like the blues in this collection and also that green eye shadow, but the packaging is making me dizzy! 0_o I’ll have to see this one in person.
I’m excited about this!! im saving up for this collection
Omgee….i love it. Cant wait!!
Lol I thought about salior moon.
WOW
Naughty nauticals round 2?
Actually looking forward to this collection. Can’t wait to see swatches!
Love it! The whole point of limited edition is the pretty packaging of the product itself, not the box. Hope they keep this up
For future collections!!!
ah! just when I tell myself I had enough!
Oh sweet baby Jesus.
OH MY GOD !
i almost ignored this because i thought “another collection with that damn black packaging” im glad i looked!
Love knot lustreglass i truly miss. Port red needed to b repromoted. I still hve mutiny pigment thats an awesome baby bleu pigment. This new collection looks boring not so exciting as naughty nauticals
It’s deco packaging. Sold!
Am I the only one disappointed that this has no repromotes from Naughty Nauticals?
Loove this! can’t wait
Love the packaging:-) its about time. Too bad the Shop Cook collection was not cute packaging like the boxes that they came in:(
About time we got some cute packaging! So excited for this collection. I want way too much! Would have loved to see a couple repromotes from Naughty Nauticals though, specifically Mutiny would have been lovely.
The lipsticks!! Oh my!!
Huuuge collection! *gasp* Wha is the round one with the three coloured stripes? A highlighter? While I’m excited to see MAC is finally doing some special packaging again, this one looks really cheap and too restless to me.
Loving these photos! I hope the actual products live up to them. Looks like a great collection for all types. And so help me if I can’t get my hands on the TOTE!!!
this collection has launched on the uk website!! I hope the swatches come soon!!
@budgieee86 omg there soo pretty im from the usa can i order from that website?
@heart2beauty nope dont think so, unless u have a british billing address
I can’t believe the UK website has this collection available already! I literally have no idea what to buy without any of your watches haha

@Luella Rose here you go: http://beautyicon.pl/fotorelacja-mac-reel-sexy-hey-sailor this is a Polish webiste, we’ve had the collection since the 2nd of May. If you’re pale, you absolutely MUST pick up the Launch Away blush! It sold out here in Warsaw in 2 days!! It is my most favourite blush ever and I would love to get a 2nd one somehow
Also the feeling fresh (green) and avalanche (white shimmer/highlight) eyeshadows are great!! I also got the gold and green eye pencils
This launched in Europe today! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I walked up the MAC counter an saw this. I didn’t expect to see this collection for another month here! It launched today together with In Extra Dimension, Fashion Sets and Reel Sexy. 4 collections in one day!
I found the packaging extremely distracting from the products, but I ended up buying Saluté. It’s a gorgeous warm nude that leans more orange than peach. The Highlighting Powder looks more like a blush than a highlighter when swatched, due to the pink, peach and lavender stripes. Not sure if the coloured stripes go all the way through though.
@Emme The colours do go all the way through, the girl at my mac got like a little chisel thing and dug out one of the little purple stripes
they go all the way down. iwasnt happy with it tho – it’s not a typical highlighter, too pink and purple for me. and the white colour wasnt well pigmented. I got the Launch Away! blush though – beautiful!! Very very sofr peach. Perfect for us pale girls!! Also I got the green eye shadow, and from reel sexy I got reel sexy and watch me simmer lipsticks, heirloom eye pencil
)
@madii Launch Away! is very pretty, but the packaging is so distracting that I decided against it. I also got Reel Sexy lipstick, Lightscapade and I got Watch Me Simmer with Shop/Cook.
@Emme Well you can always buy it and depot it, put it in a palette! Buy it, it’s gorgeous
@madii I snatched up the last Launch Away! today.
I hope it will be as pretty on my cheeks as on my hand, lol.
me toooooooooooooooooo!!:D
and the golden lipstick…
Already launched in Europe!!! I was so happy!!…bad thing, they launched reel sexy, hey sailor and in extradimension the same day..hate it actually…to many products short on cash!
I love this collection! I am so glad it launched in the Middle East already. I really wanted the bronzer but it was sold out but since I got to try everything in store already I can order it when it goes on sale in the states then have a friend bring in to me when she visits! The Sail La Vie lipstick is gorgeous! The Feeling Fresh eye shadow is close the that of Urban Decay. I picked it up but I may return it being that they are so close in color. I also want the Au Rose lip gloss.
The items were temporarily listed on the mac site last week and the blush is $21,the highlighter is $23, the pro bronzer is $27
15.50? I could have sworn that their lipsticks/lipglasses are 14.50!
@Kimberly I think that cause of the cute packaging they are adding $1..
@Nillafrost Yeah i noticed that too its the “special packages”
Yesssss. Actual prices, time to tart budgeting, I love the blushes nd bronzers and of course the lipstick but only salute! And sail la vie.. I need an orange lipstick. can’t wait !
@Nillafrost Sail la vie is actually red. Just a bright red. If you want an orange lipstick I’d suggest Morange – I have it, it’s 100% orange and it’s lovely
