MAC Manish Arora Sneak Peek Product Photo

Date: July 23, 2008 - Posted in: MAC Cosmetics

I think anybody who was poo-pooing this launch because of all the repromotes/permanent items will at least be tempted to buy these just for the packaging – because it erally does look fun, stylish, and pretty different from past LE packaging.  What do you think? Â

      It’s definitely a good buy if you don’t have many of the shadows already!

    I love it!! I think it’s my favorite LE packaging ever, and that palette looks wonderrrfulll

    • Christine

      Wednesday, July 23, 2008

      Hi SnickerDoodle,

      It reminds me a bit of a previous Nordie’s exclusive launch (blanking on the name), a bit, but still pretty.

    I do like the packaging but I’m still poo-pooeing coz this collection isn’t available in Canada…me angry at MAC!

    • Mathusha

      Wednesday, July 23, 2008

      Especially when half the stuff is made in Canada and originated here :(

      • Tekoa

        Wednesday, July 23, 2008

        Can’t we buy it online from the site?

        • Sanayhs

          Wednesday, July 23, 2008

          I’m pretty sure that’s a no. At least, from what I’ve heard… So, the only way for Canadians to get their paws on it is to have someone CP it. Grrrr…

          • lydia

            Wednesday, July 23, 2008

            that’s dumb! i don’t get why’d they do that!

          • Tekoa

            Wednesday, July 23, 2008

            But its a brand that originated in Canada. The darn stuff is made here! *slaps palm to forehead* Gosh, I hope we have the option of ordering.

            It makes me angry because MAC is a canadian company….

            It was bought out by Estee Lauder though.

            Guess there’s no commitmwent to the canadian consumer anymore.

    That palette… give it to me.

    • Eva

      Wednesday, July 23, 2008

      I second that, the palette looks great…more so since I don´t any of the included shades.. :o)

      • Christine

        Wednesday, July 23, 2008

        Hi Eva,

        That’s great for you! :D Glad it works out!

  5. SnickerDoodle

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    OOOOHHHh and i just looked at the release date, October 9, and my birthday is the 8th!! Now i really hope they have some good lipstick colors in that gorgeous packaging so i can get one of those too! woohooooo

    • Christine

      Wednesday, July 23, 2008

      Hi SnickerDoodle,

      Aww!! Hope you enjoy it :)

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    Someone could inform me what colour of the blush ?

    • Nosh

      Wednesday, July 23, 2008

      I think the blush shown is pink swoon (permanent) and the other blush is going to be diablo or sthg like that (LE)

      • classic

        Wednesday, July 23, 2008

        Thank u Nosh

      • Christine

        Wednesday, July 23, 2008

        Hi Nosh,

        Devil! LOL!

        • Nosh

          Wednesday, July 23, 2008

          lol whoops :P I was close!!

    • Christine

      Wednesday, July 23, 2008

      I believe it’s Pink Swoon!

  7. victoria

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    yupe what these. i wasn’t too excited with the color forum palettes, the colors looked dull on my lids and i wished they were brighter and i got my wish. i don’t have a lot of the colors and the packaging is so different and interesting.

    • victoria

      Wednesday, July 23, 2008

      i know a lot are repromotes but i don’t have any of the colors since most of my collections are quite neutrals and very few brights. what’s great is since they’re repromotes, i have a better idea of how the color payoffs will be. i’m definitely getting the e/s, blush and l/s. must save up, yippee.

  8. Carrie

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

  10. Ariele

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    Well, I still have to pass on the palette (tempting though because the packaing is so lovely!). However, I think I will pick up a blush and lippie :)

  11. Shmo

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

  15. Livia

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    OMG!! THE PACKAGING LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!!

  16. Livia

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    … not gonna be out in the UK?? :’(

    • Fran

      Wednesday, July 23, 2008

      No UK launch?!
      Ah that’s so irritating, I love the LE packaging!

      • Christine

        Thursday, July 24, 2008

        Hi Fran,

        I have heard it will be Harrod’s!

    • Sanayhs

      Wednesday, July 23, 2008

      No UK, no Canada. Not cool.

      • Eva

        Wednesday, July 23, 2008

        No UK, no Canada (which, quite frankly, is ridiculous for a canadian brand!!), but it will launch in Germany..which is nice for me, but..why?!?

        • Livia

          Thursday, July 24, 2008

          hmmm.. I just saw the launch featured on Elle UK tho… so it SHOULD be launched in the UK :o

          • Christine

            Thursday, July 24, 2008

            Hi Livia,

            Harrod’s is supposed to carry it.

      • Christine

        Thursday, July 24, 2008

        I’ve heard Harrod’s is releasing it…

  17. Quynh

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    I’ll probably get most of this collection since the only thing I have from it are deep truth and bitter, but since it’s only two…

  18. Trisha

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    Oh man, that packaging is super adorable. You’re right… that will probably persuade me.

  19. Laura

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    That palette is mine!! :)

  20. Nicky

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    I love the Indian-inspired packaging, so yes, some of those pieces will be mine.

  21. Nana

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    I don’t really care about the permanent items, the packaging looks AWESOME! And Hong Kong is on the list .. Yesss!!!!

  22. Cassie

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    I want the eyeshadows! I LOVE the packaging! Even though I have 4 out of the 6 colors, I want it! And I think I’ll pick up a lipstick too! When I was talking to the girls at MAC this last week they said that the Emanuel Ungaro line is going to be awesome. Even though there mostly repromotions hopefully that means the packaging will be cool!

    • Christine

      Thursday, July 24, 2008

      Hi Cassie,

      I’m hoping for bad packaging! No more temptation for my wallet, please!

  23. MEG

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    I LOVE THE PACKAGING!
    But as far as the collectin I am passing.
    None of the colors interest me : (

  24. Nell

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    Is it just me or have they just taken the orange neo sci-fi packaging of the blush and l/s and printed some indian-style curlicues on it?
    Not my colors anyway, although I´m surprised that the collection will be released in Austria.

    • Christine

      Thursday, July 24, 2008

      OMG!! HAHA! Oh, this is such a great thing to point out!

  25. Shefali

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    OMG the packaging is gorgeous. The MA’s told me it was pretty with jewels, but WOW. I’m buying at least a few things.

  26. Nartian

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    The palette is gorgeous! Oh, the joys of sorta being new again is that I don’t have most of these e/s.

    • Christine

      Thursday, July 24, 2008

      You are definitely lucky! You can get a gorgeous palette, great colors (because even though people are upset that they’re old colors, they’re old GOOD colors), without any guilt!

  27. Terri

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    The packaging is LOVE!!!!!!!!

  28. wendy

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

  31. Ashlee

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    Ohh I want that palette(still!) and the packaging is soo cute!

    Ohh hopefully by oct I’ll be living in FL and the area we are looking at has a mac counter. Yayy! lol.

  32. Nicole

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    The packaging is so lovely, but these are not my colors.

  33. guddu81

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    ahhhhhhh being Indian, the packaging and colors are HOTTTTTTT!! Love it!!! Do you know if this is going to come out in all MAC counter locations or only Nords..and MAC stores?

    • Christine

      Thursday, July 24, 2008

      It will be launched at only some stores – your best bet is online, though.

  34. Brooke

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    damnit i love the look of the palette but i hate those colors I’d never wear them :( maybe someone will use it up and sell it to me so I can empty it lol

  35. Brenda

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    The packaging doesn’t do it for me but I definitely love the colours in the palette considering I don’t have many MAC eyeshadows yet but from what others are saying, it won’t be released in canada so I won’t be able to get my hands on it anyways.

  36. Rubi

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    I like the packaging a whole lot, would look cute sitting on the counter. Might have to get the pallette, not too sure on anything else though.

  37. JillyB

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    I don’t normally order online because I like to look at the colors in person but this packaging is to die for! I may just have to give in and order on this one.

  38. monica

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    i love the packaging more than anything
    buttt i wish there were different colors in there
    something new with new packaging poo

  39. Jeni

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    Wow…im drooling packaging is awesome!

  40. Kayra

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    They look awesome – no matter repromote or not!So fun, the packaging is as good as Fafi, even better!

  41. Tanya

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    AHH OMG I HAVE TO BUY ALL OF IT!!

  42. DevilishDoll

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    I definitely want the palette. I don’t have any of those colors and I’ve been dying for Goin Bananas. And I love pinks and blues too.

  43. reesa

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    I love this packaging! So cute. I think these lippies want to come to my house when they are available! LOL! Can’t wait to see them live.

  44. Hilda

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    I love all these.
    They’re sooooooooo pretty.

  45. Lola

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    MAC LE eyeshadow palette is PERFECT for me! I don’t own any of MAC eyeshadow and this palette is going to be a great start to try 6 awesome eyeshadow colors (also I always want to try Deep Truth)! I can’t wait for this LE to be released!

    • Christine

      Thursday, July 24, 2008

      This is definitely a great palette to get started with!

  46. Erin/slipnslide

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    I’m excited. A relatively affordable way for me to try some brights, on the go! And what adorable packaging, have you seen Manish’s Reeboks? They’re crazy!

  47. Miss QQ

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    LOL! The packaging just cracks me up. Don’t know what wrong with me but I think they should appeal to many people.

  48. cloudburst

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    Aw I guess I won’t be getting the palette as I am in Canada. Oh well, I’m sure there will be tons of other stuff to spend my $ on!

  49. Laura

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    It’s the Heatherette trio only with Rhinestones!!! And I love it.

    :D

    Oh October… why must you be so far away?

  50. Stacey

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    Just when I thought I could pass on something…. The packaging is so beautiful. I’ll have to get a compact!

  51. Can

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    the packaging is soo cute! too bad i wouldn’t wear any of the colors. but the colors look pretty nonetheless!

  52. Pomlovely

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    Do you think the pallete will run out as fast as the Dress Camp Pallete??

    • Christine

      Thursday, July 24, 2008

      Probably!

      • Pomlovely

        Thursday, July 24, 2008

        ahhh !!!

  53. kelly

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    the casing is hideous… its like… really bad bollywood

    • Pomlovely

      Wednesday, July 23, 2008

      Good ! More for the people that are drooling over it :)

  54. claudine

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    oh my gooooosh i loooove the packaging

  56. classic

    Wednesday, July 23, 2008

    Yiiiipie I could order from MAC Sing….hemmm I want to look
    the colour swatch

  57. Lexi

    Thursday, July 24, 2008

    Eyeshadow palette, while pretty… is a snore. I have most of the colors already.
    I could easily be tempted into getting that beauty powder though, just for the packaging. ;)

  58. viv

    Thursday, July 24, 2008

    oh my! the packaging is absolutely adorable!! :D

  59. Nina

    Thursday, July 24, 2008

    i defenetly want the palette and both blushes and the lipglasses aaaaaah im feeling faint already.. the packaging is oooh so gorgeous.

  60. lala

    Thursday, July 24, 2008

    I dont have any of the colors..so def. getting the palette :)

    thank you christine!!!

  61. Kate

    Thursday, July 24, 2008

    This packaging is yummy! And as it happens, I don’t have any of these colors. Plus, I’m a sucker for anything with jewels on it! I will probably want the e/s palette and a l/s at the very least.

  62. Pia

    Thursday, July 24, 2008

    Woohoooo!!! I don’t have ANY of the shadows so I could definitely get the palette. *start watering money tree*

  63. Quynh

    Friday, July 25, 2008

    BTW How much is that palette gonna set us back?

    • Christine

      Friday, July 25, 2008

      Hi Quynh,

      Oh, I imagine $38-42.

  64. emily

    Friday, July 25, 2008

    what does “LE” packaging mean…?

    but anyways, that palette looks AMAZINGG!
    im soo excited!

    • Christine

      Friday, July 25, 2008

      Hi Emily,

      Limited edition packaging – it means that it’s special packaging designed for that launch. Like sometimes MAC puts their eyeshadows in orange packaging rather than their trademark black packaging – the orange packaging would be LE packaging!

  65. Kristen

    Friday, July 25, 2008

    Super pretty packaging, I have to admit!

  66. shana

    Saturday, July 26, 2008

    so its not going to be at the pro store in San Fransisco?

    • Christine

      Tuesday, July 29, 2008

      Hi Shana,

      I’m really not sure about the locations for this launch, unfortunately! Your best bet is to call the store just before the release and inquire.

  67. Khulood

    Saturday, September 13, 2008

    I went to MAC yesterday and reserved the collection ^_^ It will be launched here on Tuesday (I’m in the United Arab Emirates).. The colors look quite nice IRL.. not sure about the repromotes as my collection consists for mainly neutral colors (and some colors, but not many).
