        Me too LOL I just got the brown and green quads and will be back next week for the purple quad.

    • zee

      Monday, August 10, 2009

      I totally agree haha. I’ve been trying to pace myself since they’re coming out with a billion awesome collections… I think this one is gonna get me in a ton of trouble! Haha.

    Sunday, July 19, 2009

    Does anyone have any idea what the “Gloss Texture” is? Is it like a lip primer or just like the MAC clear gloss?

    • Brigitte

      Sunday, July 19, 2009

      Complete guess: maybe to make the pigments into a gloss???

    • Sara

      Monday, July 20, 2009

      it helps stick the glitter to the face

    • Stacey

      Monday, July 20, 2009

      Gloss texture is a clear gloss that can be used all over the face… it’s smoother and softer in texture than clear lipglass… you can mix pigments/glitter with it or use it alone.

    • carissa

      Wednesday, July 29, 2009

      Gloss texture is used to mix pigments and glitters to make them stick to your skin. Looks great on the lips/cheeks/eyes!!! Makes them much more intense too!!!! Gotta have it if you own any glitters/pigments!!!!

      • maribeth

        Sunday, August 9, 2009

        i’ve also seen it used plain on the eyes to create a weird dewy effect with just a mascara (waterproof plz) and a clean simple face for a neat unique look… rissrose2 from youtube did a tutorial on it i think if you wanna see what i mean in person ik it sounds weird but it looks cool

      • homegirl

        Monday, August 10, 2009

        maybe you should just mix it with a mixing medium from mac? :)

  4. Brigitte

    Sunday, July 19, 2009

    Oh no… as I was scrolling I realized I want everything… … oh goodness. But at least something to keep me excited since I didn’t like a single thing from Colour Craft! :D

    • jennylevi

      Thursday, July 23, 2009

      Just a questions why you did’nt like a single thing from that collection? was it to glitterly?

      • Brigitte

        Sunday, July 26, 2009

        Yeah, it just felt like a bunch of glitter with out enough color payoff on my cheeks. And the mineralized eyeshadows… was not a fan!

        • Tattoo Girl

          Monday, August 10, 2009

          I agree! I tried the MSF in Porcelian Pink and I looked like a frickin’ pink disco ball!!

  5. Heather

    Sunday, July 19, 2009

    I love the eyeliners they look amazing!!

    • amani

      Tuesday, July 21, 2009

      im deff buying like 3 color matters liner its sooooooooo cute an the other2 except the black one cuz i have it

  6. Justine

    Sunday, July 19, 2009

    I`ve been looking at greens so I am super interested in the Photorealism quad but I like shimmery or shiny eyeshadows, so I am wondering what their finishes are like… otherwise (after sorting through my stash) I think I am good to pass on most of this collection!

  7. Allie

    Sunday, July 19, 2009

    I should not have looked at this. Uh-oh.

    • ElizabethB

      Sunday, July 19, 2009

      My exact initial thought….. and my husband’s thought towards me. LOL

      • Allie

        Sunday, July 19, 2009

        I should know better than to come on here when I’m trying to *save* money. LOL

  8. Krista

    Sunday, July 19, 2009

    I am literally not turned on by anything… Those quads are quite sad compared to CofC.
    “The Perfect Cheek” blush sounds interesting though.

  9. retail_therapy

    Sunday, July 19, 2009

    Holy Moly!!
    All the pencils, I want.
    All the quads are lovely.

    I want haunting, and violent trance. Woot!!!

  10. kim

    Sunday, July 19, 2009

    pigmentssssss!

  11. dani

    Sunday, July 19, 2009

    OMFG!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE LOVE THIS COLLECTION!
    I WANT TO GET EVERYTHING!

    OOOOOO EMMMMMMMMMMM GGGEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

  12. Bethany

    Sunday, July 19, 2009

    The pigments and eyeliners are very exciting.

    Does anyone know if the eyeliners are safe for the waterline? Or at least, NOT-water resistant?

    • mars

      Monday, July 20, 2009

      technakohl’s are made for the waterline

  13. cmferrets

    Sunday, July 19, 2009

    i want and love all the quads (expecially the green one) , e/s and blushes, maybe a pigment or 2. GEEZ, u think mac could have come up with a better name, yah!

  14. violet

    Sunday, July 19, 2009

    im getting all my pigments free as samples,

    • MAC expert

      Tuesday, July 21, 2009

      Samples from the counter? hope you like pink eye…

      • GretaluvsMAC

        Monday, August 10, 2009

        LMAO!!

    • Jas

      Thursday, July 23, 2009

      How many items from mac do you need to buy before you can get pigment samples? That is if there is a certain amount…

      • carissa

        Wednesday, July 29, 2009

        You can get a sample if you ask for it, but it depends on if that counter has sample containers or not. They are hard to come by b/c MAC only sends very few to each location. They are like gold!!!!

  15. ElizabethB

    Sunday, July 19, 2009

    Holy crap. I’m gonna soooooo broke for sure after this collection…. *stares at her husband* o_0

  16. Christy

    Sunday, July 19, 2009

    Yikes, there’s some gorgeous eyeshadow colors coming soon! The green and purple quads look pretty, but the natural one seems like colors I already have. The blushes look great for everyday. The only things I probably won’t get are the glitters.

  17. Cynthia Z.

    Sunday, July 19, 2009

    NOOOOOOO! My poor wallet:(

  18. tess

    Sunday, July 19, 2009

    in the gallery quad is intereting and the perfect cheek blushhhh…

  19. caitlyn

    Sunday, July 19, 2009

    Pigments and e/s look verrrrry pretty!
    can’t wait!

  20. Kaylabella

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    ah crap. how am i supposed to save money with all of these beauties coming out? i definitely need to start a stash for this collection right now!

  21. geri~

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    The Brash and bold pigment looks gorgeous!

  22. Suzanne

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    Hm, i’m not excited about this collection. Maybe after i’ll see your swatches :)

  23. muffingrl

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    violet trance for sure.

  24. Melissa

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    Violet Trance & Cocomotion <333

  25. Martha

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    it’s such a good idea that i let the color craft collection pass. i’m definitely gonna get the violet trance eyeshadow from this collection!

  26. Brie

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    Damn you MAC and your beautiful quads!! *shakes fist about*

    I’m gonna have to decide on just one of those and I don’t know how I’m going to do that lol.

  27. Adam

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    omg what an exciting collection!!! i love the concept its so cute and im realy eyeing off crest the wave and especially violet trance eyeshadows!!

  28. Angie

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    Everything looks good! And I like their color palette this time round, so much better than color craft!

  29. ChristineDior

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    ZOMG!!! yes! I will definitely buy more than half of the collection! :)

  30. Alisa

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    That Violet Trance eyeshadow is incredible!

  31. Chiara

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    Seems like a nice collection! The quads look amazing, especially the green one.

  32. Natalia

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    Wow, that looks great! However, I’m suspecting I turned out allergic to MAC eyeshadows (not completely sure of that, though) and it makes me really sad :-( Haunting is such a beautiful colour, I’m gonna be really upset if I cannot use it…

    • SarahT

      Monday, July 20, 2009

      I am allergic to them!!! I believe that for me it is the talc in them – makes my eyes itch like crazy and become all red :( it is sad because they have such great colors, but on the other hand think of all the money we’ll save ;)
      I use mineral eye shadow – and NOT MAC’s because theirs has talc in them as well. My eyes seem to be okay with mineral shadows with very few ingredients – the truly natural ones, not the ones that have just used the name “mineral”. Anyways, hope this helps a bit :)

      • Natalia

        Monday, July 20, 2009

        Thanks for your comment, Sarah!
        I’m not sure if I’m allergic or not, I bought my first MAC eye palette just some time ago and after I applied the shadows my eyes didn’t itch but started paining (I can’t imagine why eyeshadow can cause pain in the eyes, but I definitely felt better when I wiped the shadows off with a makeup remover) … Oh, and I’m a contact lens wearer, which only makes things worse, I believe. I got MAC Mineralize eyeshadow but all the glitter in it makes it impossible for me to apply it without some of the glitter getting into my eyes (and that is a really nasty thing to happen if you’re wearing contacts). I’m thinking I’ll stick to cream eye shadows, they seem to cause me less problems.

        • SarahT

          Monday, July 20, 2009

          I never have problems with cream eyeshadows, either! They were what I first used and then I was confused about what my eyes were itching when I used a MAC powder eyeshadow. It sure sucks having such sensitive eyes, hey? I hope you find something that work for you :)

    • Heather

      Monday, July 27, 2009

      I am thinking I’m becoming allergic to MAC. I’m super sad because I just started buying more to add to my collection. I really think it is due to ZoomLash though, but I’m going to go light on the eyeshadow until my eyes are happy again to make sure it isn’t the shadow.

  33. xbeanie

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    push the edge pigment omggggg!!! and the lipglasses too!

  34. Jas

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    The Perfect Cheek blush, Cocomotion Pigment, Purple shower e/s and Photo Realism Eyeshadow Quad look really good.
    Just when i thought that i was safe from buying more MAC, this collection shows up.

  35. Kristine

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    I want all the quads!

  36. CedriCeCCentriC

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    When I see bold colours of the pencils and single eyeshadows from this collection, I really think they should have used the promo images of the Colour Craft collection instead to illustrate it.

  37. Janelle

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    NGL, that first photo looks kinda gross :(

    The collection and rest of the photos look amazing though :D

  42. Ali

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    I’m probably going to have to only buy one or two things as I’m saving up for nearly all the Style Black, which should come out a month after this. :P

  43. AYHM

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    I need to start saving now – my wallet is going to experience a serious meltdown between now and all the new fall collections.

  44. lizzclare

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    Glitter Glitter Glitter!!!!!!!!!!!! omg!!!!!

  45. smut

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    wow I have to get the Photorealism quad. As well Full of Fuscia liner, Haunted looks really nice and Cocomotion too! OMG too many things, because I also want High Strung lipstick. Hmm this is going to be worse than Cult of Cherry for me! Hmm, I’ll start with the quad, liner and lipstick (lipsticks are always iffy).

  46. MC

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    A yellow eyeshadow! Good for you, MAC!

  47. Lucy

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    Oh no Mac, why have you done this?! There are so many products that I want. Several lipsticks and glosses. I would like all of the eye liners and shadow quads. The pigments and glitters are beautiful. I like the blushes but may be able to resist them. The single eye shadows are also pretty especially the purple. Each month I swear I’m not going to buy any more makeup. I never miss a month buying the stuff.

  48. Summer B.

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    this comes out on my birthday! Ah, destiny? I think so. haha

  49. AA

  53. mlou

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    Really nice!! ty! Push TheEdge pigment looks terrific!

    My Cocomotion isn’t that shade though – maybe just the pic.

    Photo Realism quad looks amazing. If none of the shades are Perm ones I already have, it is going on my wish list!

  54. cloudburst

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    I like the l/s, l/g and the quads – I also like Haunting & Violet Trance.

  55. LaDonna

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    Must save some money for some things in this collection – really lovely colors.

  57. Natalie

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    I had a sneak peek preview from my MUA and the liners were definitely drool worthy, so were the pigments and glitters.

  58. aleksis

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    Thnak goodness all I see is one thing that I want!

  59. Stephanie

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    i am definitely getting one of those quads:)

  60. Phyrra

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    I soo want Artistic License and Full of Fuschia and Colour Matters!

    What would you pair with Fuschia as the liner?

  61. JO

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    cant wait 2 see the swatches!! I’ll know what i want better from those. I definitely want the quads. 2 or 3 single eyeshadows. Debating if i ‘need’ the eyeliners / lipsticks….

  62. Colleen

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    i want all of the quads!!!!!! some lipglass’s and pigments! ah i am gonna be brokeeee!

  63. Nicole

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    wow I want the eye liners, some of the lipglass and a few eyeshadows.. I need another job haha!!

  64. Christina

    OH. MY. GOODNESS. THAT IS THE MOST AMAZING COLLECTION I HAVE EVER SEEN! I’M GOING TO GET ALL THE QUADS, CREST THE WAVE, VIOLET TRANCE, HAUNTING, AND ALL THE LINERS. AND AN EMPTY 15 PALETTE SO I CAN PUT ALL THE EYESHADOWS TOGETHER. WOW… I NEED THIS COLLECTION.

  67. Yvette

    • kathy

      Tuesday, July 21, 2009

      lol u know what you mean i want everythig

  68. shontay

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    I guess I’m the only one not turned on by the quads. I do want the individual shadows, though. I also want the orange eyeliner. The other colors I have in makeup forever aqua eyes, so I won’t be getting those. I want to stay away from gloss or lipstick if it’s not unique, but I can’t help myself. I might end up getting full bodied and 1 or 2 glosses. I can’t wait b/c I have been invited to a special unveiling of this collection!

  69. christi

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    Why MAC? Why? I love you but I think you hate me… my bank account is weeping (oh, no wait, thats my parents…)

    I am definitely going to be getting Notoriety and In the Gallery quads. Right now I want a lot of other stuff, but I’m gunna have to wait until I see them in person.

  70. Nicole15

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    Very exciting to see. Right now I’m loving the e/s pots more than the quads but maybe that’s just because I’m a sucker for brights & the quads are not as bright. Oh, but those pigments…to die for. And the eyeliners, the colors are incredible. What an exciting colletion. YAY!!!

  71. Coloruza

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    I love it all! Thank goodness I have some of those colors already, but still – finally quads that don’t have half repromotes in them! The purple one disappoints me, but I like the looks of the green one a lot!

  72. shatani

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    OMG! OMG! OMG! heritage rouge is back!!!! you dont know how much i rue the day i didnt get that pigment when it came out with overrich (whenever that was!) i love it sooooo much. i have very dark skin, and i tell ya it looked so fabulous and i was a grad student with no job and couldnt get it. i am seriously SO giddy about this! and i think i might get my first ever MAC blush…cuz notoriety looks hot!

  73. Elle

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    Uh oh. That’s all I have to say. :) Thanks Christine!

  79. Veronica

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    I hate this collection simply because I want everything. =( But of course, I’m going to have to limit myself. Trying to limit myself to one quad, one/two eyeshadows, I want all the pigments :/, and maybe one blush and one lipglass. I don’t know. Its so hard. I can’t wait to see more information on this so I can decide better.

  80. beautifolly

    Monday, July 20, 2009

    Oh great, more colors that I love. I’m going to have to buy a make up suit case because the carrier that I have now is not going to cut it!
    Oh my husband is going to kill me!
