omg! MAC you are going to make me bankrupt!
You and me both hun!
Me too LOL I just got the brown and green quads and will be back next week for the purple quad.
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.
Does anyone have any idea what the “Gloss Texture” is? Is it like a lip primer or just like the MAC clear gloss?
Complete guess: maybe to make the pigments into a gloss???
it helps stick the glitter to the face
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.
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!!!!
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
maybe you should just mix it with a mixing medium from mac?
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!
Just a questions why you did’nt like a single thing from that collection? was it to glitterly?
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!
I agree! I tried the MSF in Porcelian Pink and I looked like a frickin’ pink disco ball!!
I love the eyeliners they look amazing!!
im deff buying like 3 color matters liner its sooooooooo cute an the other2 except the black one cuz i have it
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!
I should not have looked at this. Uh-oh.
My exact initial thought….. and my husband’s thought towards me. LOL
I should know better than to come on here when I’m trying to *save* money. LOL
I am literally not turned on by anything… Those quads are quite sad compared to CofC.
“The Perfect Cheek” blush sounds interesting though.
Holy Moly!!
All the pencils, I want.
All the quads are lovely.
I want haunting, and violent trance. Woot!!!
pigmentssssss!
OMFG!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE LOVE THIS COLLECTION!
I WANT TO GET EVERYTHING!
OOOOOO EMMMMMMMMMMM GGGEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
The pigments and eyeliners are very exciting.
Does anyone know if the eyeliners are safe for the waterline? Or at least, NOT-water resistant?
technakohl’s are made for the waterline
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!
im getting all my pigments free as samples,
Samples from the counter? hope you like pink eye…
LMAO!!
How many items from mac do you need to buy before you can get pigment samples? That is if there is a certain amount…
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!!!!
Holy crap. I’m gonna soooooo broke for sure after this collection…. *stares at her husband* o_0
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.
NOOOOOOO! My poor wallet:(
in the gallery quad is intereting and the perfect cheek blushhhh…
Pigments and e/s look verrrrry pretty!
can’t wait!
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!
The Brash and bold pigment looks gorgeous!
Hm, i’m not excited about this collection. Maybe after i’ll see your swatches
violet trance for sure.
Violet Trance & Cocomotion <333
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!
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.
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!!
Everything looks good! And I like their color palette this time round, so much better than color craft!
ZOMG!!! yes! I will definitely buy more than half of the collection!
That Violet Trance eyeshadow is incredible!
Seems like a nice collection! The quads look amazing, especially the green one.
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…
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
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.
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
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.
push the edge pigment omggggg!!! and the lipglasses too!
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.
I want all the quads!
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.
NGL, that first photo looks kinda gross
The collection and rest of the photos look amazing though

O…M…G!!!!! The pigments… Btw mac and UD primers, I will go bankrupt.
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.
I need to start saving now – my wallet is going to experience a serious meltdown between now and all the new fall collections.
Glitter Glitter Glitter!!!!!!!!!!!! omg!!!!!
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).
A yellow eyeshadow! Good for you, MAC!
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.
this comes out on my birthday! Ah, destiny? I think so. haha
HAHAHA! I can’t wait to pick this stuff up!! AMAZING!
SICK SICK SICK!!!
I really love those coloured Technakohl Liners!
Me too!!! They are GORGEOUS!
I WANT THE QUADS!!!
Things that I am loving from this collection:
Notoriety Eyeshadow Quad
The Perfect Cheek Blush (Possibly)
Cocomotion Pigment
lol..i have the same list..with a few additions:)
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!
I like the l/s, l/g and the quads – I also like Haunting & Violet Trance.
Must save some money for some things in this collection – really lovely colors.
I’m officially excited about this collection after seeing the pics…..does anyone have the release date???? I want it all lol….ok ok…mostly quads, pigments and liners lol
August 20th
I had a sneak peek preview from my MUA and the liners were definitely drool worthy, so were the pigments and glitters.
Thnak goodness all I see is one thing that I want!
i am definitely getting one of those quads:)
I soo want Artistic License and Full of Fuschia and Colour Matters!
What would you pair with Fuschia as the liner?
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….
i want all of the quads!!!!!! some lipglass’s and pigments! ah i am gonna be brokeeee!
wow I want the eye liners, some of the lipglass and a few eyeshadows.. I need another job haha!!
can they just give us a break?!!? LOL
I’m really digging this collection!!
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.
I want this entire collection..give or take
I have not brought any mac for awhile..well here I come..
lol u know what you mean i want everythig
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!
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.
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!!!
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!
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!
Uh oh. That’s all I have to say.
Thanks Christine!
All eye products look delicious ! ! !
I am loving some of those shadow quads, and all the glosses!
OH NO! Must exercise self-control!
OH MY FRIKKIN GODDDDD!
must ..save ..money!!!!!
This is a big problem!!!! Everything is so pretty! I want everything!!!
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.
Everything is so beautiful! Oh no, ANOTHER gorgeous fall collection that is going to make me an even porer college student.
Well, I know where my August 15th paycheck is going
lipsticks eyeshadows and pigments look amazing!
gona have to check out that gloss thing too

thanks for lettin’ us know christine!
Will be buying all the quads and maybe some of the lipsticks
not really too excited about this collection, well lets say a little bit. i cant wait to check out the blushes, quad, and lipglosses/lipsticks. the pigments nehh i can find them at my cco

i want all of the quads, eyeshadows, and liners!!!
MAC is going to make me go bankrupt. i already want $300 worth of product. MAC please give us a month or two without taking our wallets
Stunning! The pigments and glitters are going to get me. And “The Perfect Cheek” looks beautiful!
I have seen the pigments and the liners. AMAZING!! All the liners are very bright. Brash and Bold and Push the Edge are also gorgeous! These are def on my list!!
OMG… Photorealism and Notoriety!
WHAT’S UP WITH THE PROMO PICS? It looks out of place and mediocre, not to mention: UGLY.
Now I really have a reason to get a job. Want the Quads and the blushes….
The eyeliners looks like a lot of fun
my wallet bleeds !!
gaspphh !! going to be broke
I want these.. hurray!! New quads!
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!
