I won't be getting anything from this collection.

$22.50 for a lipstick! Have they lost their minds?!

wow the colors look so great/ i translate my blog to english . now you can read in my blog. i hope you love it.

Flashy packaging and frosty nudes...ewwww! Don't get me started on an $80 brush that is really the 187 in fancy packaging...huh? What's Mystery Powder and why would I want it on my face? I don't understand this collection.

It looks lovely, but it is just too expensive. I would rather add a few more dollars and purchase my beloved Chanel.

What's a mystery is why ppl pay $60 for a translucid pressed powder, a $80 brush? Does it apply makeup by itself? What's next? Collections every 15 minutes? ....oh wait LOL

love how they did the 187..may need to pick this one up!

Love the package but not sure about the colours as blend one colour?

I wish MAC would stop releasing tons of new collections all the time, which are sub-par at best. I long for the days where I would be anxiously awaiting a few new collections a year which were thoughtfully crafted and worth every penny.

the packaging is beautiful but the colours themselves are just not at all arousing my interest...i think i preferred the shades with his first collection :/

Very disappointing! The packaging looks really cheap too, eek! On to the next...

LOL its funny that they add this gorgeous packaging to a collection that no one cares for!

Hm, at least the packaging is cute.

packing okay, collection as a whole....yawn.

I've been waiting for cute packaging.. and then they finally bring out a line and I'm not keen on the products... and the packaging is HMMM OK..........

The brush clutch is so pretty! Buuuuut... expeeeensive. This whole collection is a pass for me.

I normally love neutrals, but these do not appeal to me at all. Another skip for me. I actually love MAC for putting out such crappy collections for so long. The only thing I have bought from them in the last year is a paint pot from their permanent range. I think MAC is trying to force people to save money by putting out these types of collections :P

This looks more like a winter collection

Love the design - don't like the products. Boring colors, frost lipsticks (not a fan of frost finishes), lipglasses which I didn't even look at because I don't wear lipgloss, and some ordinary face powders (???!!).. and what is that solid perfume about? sometimes I wonder what they're thinking...

This is much prettier than the Xmas Collection; But! Chrome finish plastic? Eww. I love a great compact too, but Stylistics was the last well made one. A cheesy compact doesn't have the glamour factor. All of them have been tinny lately. I'd consider the lipsticks, but the rest looks good here, but I don't expect much... A fancy case used to be well made and one bought refills for it. MAC is all disposable stuff. Who didn't want to keep the HK cases forever?

I actually like the sound of some of the products, especially some of the lipsticks (I know a lot of people don't like it but I'm quite a fan of the frost finish). However, the price is a major turn-off for me. Sure, the packaging looks pretty, but it's just packaging! It's the product that I really care about. I guess if I'm feeling flush when this comes out then I *might* treat myself to one item, probably Felicienne lipstick. Dirty mauve with pearl sounds right up my street!

it's sooooo pretty! Plus I need to get the l/g that's named after me!

Oh great! Not spending money at all!!!! At least not on MAC products :-)

Yikes ~ we've got some debbie downers up in here... I'm kind of excited for this collection... I know a lot of people think it's insane/stupid, etc to pay more for a product "just" for the packaging... but I, personally, get really excited about cool packaging... It's one of the things that makes me love MAC so much. They have great products, and then sometimes you get extra cool packaging to go with it! Granted, I can't afford an $80 brush (especially since I already have it...) but, if I had the money for it... I would totally buy it, I think it's kind of awesome looking! I got a couple things from the first collection, and will probably get one or two pieces here. I like the uniqueness of it. I'm a sucker for marketing/packaging, I always have been, I've made peace with it. =) I am annoyed at MAC/with myself about the perfume pendant. I really wanted one from the first collection, but took so long going back and forth about it that it finally sold out. And now it's back! And they increased the price another $10! Dangit!! Should've just gotten it the first time around! Overall I really like the silver packaging too, but for that particular one, I prefer the black. =/

You can have cool packaging and quality without the HUGE markup. Example: Sugarpill. Just saying that the complaining is warranted.

I think I'd like a lipglass or lipstick since the packaging is so pretty. The price tag may keep me away however.

Hmm, here's hoping one of the lipsticks is a dupe for "Whirls & Twirls", then I'll pick up a tube. It speaks to me in silver. But what I really wanted is a rollerball of Air of Style. Love the scent and it would've looked stunning in that mascara wand thingie. Damn, MAC, opportuny missed. P.S. Please repromote Asphalt Flower.

great packaging, but couldn't they just do a line of refillable pans and compacts?

Oh no.. This is just terrible. And frosted lipstick? Seriously, who wears frosted lipsticks except middle aged women who still thinks its the 80s?! Another huge dissppointment.. Like others have said, for this kind of money I will always go somewhere else, always mac! So just stop it.

lol ok do they realize frost isn't in anymore and now people are going for more of a creamy lip look?

$60 for the "Mystery" powder....... Why do I have the feeling that we're actually paying for the container/packaging? *facepalm*

hmmmm.... After the Shop/Cook Mac collection, I'm really into the brighter colors right now. Makes sense for them to release a nude collection since both Vera and Shop/Cook mac were really colorful. If I hadn't already bought nudes from Naturally, I'd be into this. All the lipsticks are frosts... :/ Oh well. My wallet could use a break anyways :P

I clicked over from another site with just the title shown. I took a guess for Heatherette making another collection. :)

Not for me, these colors are not appealing.

What a disappointment....I hate satin/frost lipstick and pearl lipgloss....

It looks like icy series~But I don't believe colors shows on AD. Waiting for ur swatch:)

why can't we love or leave things anymore? just wondering.

It was causing issues with the site; I believe I read that it was slowing it down/taking longer to load...something along those lines. If there was a love it or leave it button right now, I would be pushing the leave it button, lol.

I've been thinking the same for a while too...

Why did MAC collaborate with Marcel Wanders again??

Was Marcel that popular the first time? $100 for a Mac brush is ridiculous.

OVERPRICED PACKAGING!!!!!!

Hey Christine, do you know how we can find out if the collection will be at a certain MAC store?

Given the obscene disparity between the US and Canadian prices (and isn't MAC originally a Canadian company? Most of my Mac products are "manufactured in Canada"), I am incensed enough that even if I liked this collection, I would pass on it. But the prices are just insane. Maybe MAC has itself confused with Chanel or Guerlain! If I were of a mind to spend $72 on a face powder, I'd get Guerlain's Cruel Gardenia!
