MAC Style Black Collection
U.S. Launch Date: September 24th, 2009
International Launch Date: October 2009
From “Back to Black” beehive and eyeliner to Steven “80s” Sprouse-in-the-House kohl and fringe to Gareth Pugh London New Goth, Black is simply beyond. Lips, nails, eyes there’s no more dramatic way to declare your desire, separate your sensibility, celebrate your magnetism. They WILL surrender to a Blackfire Glimmerglass, Rapidblack Penultimate Eyeliner, a slash of Greasepaint Stick, and the hot scratch of Baby Goth Girl Nail Lacquer. Style Black is a way of life, a shadowy and mysterious figure of fantasy, even for just one dark and dangerous night.

Volcanic Ash Exfoliator ($19.50 U.S. / 23.50 CDN)
For all skin types. Volcanic ash (in the form of mineral-rich clay), sugar crystals and natural enzymes combine to exfoliate and remove excess oils from the skin. 3.4oz (Limited Edition)
Volcanic Ash Thermal Mask ($19.50 U.S> / $23.50 CDN)
VATM contains natural volcanic ash to cleanse and treat the skin. The mineral-rich ash works with oat kernel flour to help absorb excess oil from the skin’s surface. A combo of natural oils (lavendar, sunflower, safflower seed and evening primrose) help lubricate the skin, leaving it feeling soft and moisturized. It helps to even out the skin’s texture and leaves the skin feeling smooth and perfected for makeup application. The unique formula glides effortlessly onto the skin, allowing ample playtime. The mask heats up on the skin when used with water and removes impurities from the surface, leaving skin looking radiant and fresh. Use 1-3 times a week. Derm-tested, non-acnegenic and for all skins. 3.4oz (Limited Edition)
I don’t own any black lipsticks, and I can’t wait for this one!
VAE is back!!…*faints* and a Volcanic Ash Thermal Mask…*faints again*!!
I’m really excited for this collection
I love black! And I am so glad the Volcanic Ash Exfoliator will be back. I only have a little bit left and I’ve been holding on to it for dear life. lol
This collection is going to make me a poor woman. Other than the CCBs and paint stick, I want it all.
Since I’m ghostly pale this collection doesn’t really interest me, but I really want Blue Flame
Wait, wasn’t Blue Flame from the Cool Heat collection?
Yup Blue Flame from Cool Heat. Kinda strange because here they describe it black with blue pearl and back during the Cool Heat Collection they described it as deep navy blue……..
they are different blue flames. the original was just a (matte?) blue e/s, the one in this collection is a mineralized shadow w/ swirly black & blue.
blue flame was a veluxe pearl. its lovely… its the eyeshadow that ‘deep truth’ wishes it were
I am pale too but Blk looks hott. It definitely takes a step back to get use to it but still amazing. I got to play with the greasepaint stick and gave myself that total grunge look and i loved it as well.
The mineralized shadows are great. they are so much more sparkley than Black Tied and Beauty Marked.
As for the Volcanic ash exfoliater stuff. I tried it on my hand and loved it. But probably best used in the shower.
wow, i’ll have to test this out in the store. it’s kinda awesome, but i don’t know if the black would suit my extremely pale skin, without looking gothic.
Of course it will look gothic- is there any other way to wear black lips
I know I don’t need any of this line, but I sure do want it!
I’m very pale, too, and I’ve done blackish (black liner over the entire lip with a very dark gloss over it) lips before, and if I use enough pink-y blush it has a really cool effect, not gothic-y at all, especially if you do light or bright eye makeup with it.
I dunno about black lips but those eye shadows and the Baby Goth Girl nail polish is sounding serious. Will wait to see more pictures!
Interesting for the eyes as I’m a lover of black smokey and black on the eyes! Also, it’ll be esthetically extremelly interesting to see all the black lipsticks and lip products. Lots of girls will buy this, I don’t doubt it but I wonder how many of them will actually wear the black lips in the streets (beside the goth girls who always did).
black lipstick and lipglasses?? *faint*
thanks for the info!!
I love black. probably get the entire collection, including nail polish and I rarely buy MAC’s polish
I guess I’m the only one not really interested in black l/s and l/g…………..
I am, however, SO EXCITED for the VOLCANIC ASH EXFOLIATOR AND THERMAL MASK. YAYYYYYY
omg so it IS coming out.. about to start to start saving up now bc i’m going to get everything
I just received my F&F haul shipment & then you hit us with these back-to-back fall launch posts. I love you Christine, but my brain hurts (in a good way of course!!) What’s a makeup addict to do?!?! I LOVE IT
:):)
Oh my gosh I will so have to try the Thermal Mask and stock up on the Volcanic Ash exfoliator!!!
Wow, I can’t wait to get Blackfire.
I love this whole release concept!
The next season of MAC releases has got me so excited… finally they’re not churning out the same rehashed stuff. And Night Violet is back
I need to get Black Knight just for the name.
THE Volcanic Ash Exfoliator& MASK SOUNDS EXCITING! x
Volcanic Ash Exfoliator! YES!
Love the idea! Think I’d be picking up Bat Black CCB since I’ve never seen it and a glimmerglass. I was really stoked for the eyeshadows, but I’m sadly allergic to mineral makeup, so this is a real big disappointment for me
Wow all the Fall and Winter Collections look so exciting!! And I can’t believe Volcanic Ash Exfoliator is coming back!!!! Sooooo excited!!!
Thanks for posting these!!
Volcanic Ash :O… Does anyone know how much this cost in pounds last time it was out?
I can’t wait for this! I would never use a black lipstick, but i am willing to get it anyways!
Mac has me really excited for their fall & winter collections… Yay
It is amazing how black lippies products are becoming more mainstream… This seems like a darker, noir collection after the success of last years dark Cult of Cherry hits.
Hmmm, black on the lips is really not my thing, but I’m excited to see the mineralize shadows.
Oh, TOTALLY can’t wait for the promo pics to come out either. Hoping those will look totally amazing.
i am intrigued by the black glosses and nail lacquers. def getting at least one of the black gloss for collection and use.
I need
Black Knight Cremesheen
Blackfire Glimmerglass
Young Punk Mineralize Eye Shadow
Blue Flame Mineralize Eye Shadow
Baby Goth Girl Nail Polish
I usually say I want nail polishes but never get them cause of the price…but black with pink and purple shimmer is like a dream come true for me.
Oooooooooh! Can’t wait to see the pics and reviews of the products! I swear MAC is making me broke… Def going to have to pick up some of the glimmerglasses and nail polish or two!
haha i’m not gonna lie, this collection is a bit ridiculous…but i have to own a black lipgloss….seriously
Return of the Volcanic Ash!!!!!
Hallelujah!!! MAC-God have listened my prayer ^_^
I will literally be buying this entire collection. I can’t wait!!!!!
2nd this!! *dies*
not interested in the all black color of this collection. although, two of the mineralize e/s’s sound interesting (young punk and blue flame) and the volcanic Ash exfoliator.
i love the idea of all the lips products, will have 2 check out in person to be sure ofcourse
I am really looking forward to the Volcanic Ash Exfoliater. I missed out on it the first time. I’m hoping they make it permanent this time.
Yeah, me too! I missed out (or rather skipped out) not knowing what I was missing. So now I’ll get my hands on some!
Unfortunately, it will be LE same with the mask.
Oh wow, I was scanning the list and thought meh…another collection to pass on. Until I saw the words “VOLCANIC ASH EXFOLIATOR” Yay! I still have quite a bit left but at least I know I don’t have to skimp anymore. I can’t wait to pick up the thermal mask as well.
This collection could not be LESS for me unless it also including a gold eye shadow and orange lipstick rofl. I can safely say pass on all of it – no thanks on black lips and dark eyeshadow! Another bullet dodged haha!
Will be getting all of this except the creme stick. Wow glad I get a discount!
the only thing that interests me is the volcanic ash skin products… the rest is too vampy and goth like for my liking. maybe the eyeshadows but thats the only other thing that sparks my interest.
After reviewing most of the upcoming MAC collections, the goth in me is ecstatic. My wallet, however, is not.
Mac doesnt care about our wallets! Releasing this and the Fall Trend collection in the same month is just mean lol
I know myself, and I know that I’ll get the black lip products just to have them in my collection. I doubt I’ll ever wear them (Halloween maybe?). I struggle with dark reds! So difficult to keep up with all day! But I’m really excited about the eyes and Volcanic Ash of course!
So freaking stoked for this collection! I need the volcanic ash exfoliator and mask! and the new nail polishes and maybe the glimmerglass and a mattene. Maybe an eyeshadow too! lol love it! its about time they did black–now there going all out!
Eeek! I want it all, except for the penultimate eyeliner, smolder liner and brush.
I’ll definitely be picking up Black Knight. I’d prefer it were a matte, but cremesheen’ll do. I’ll probably skip the mattenes. I bought 3 of the ones from Cult of Cherry, but I rarely use them (even thought I love the colors) because I don’t like the formula. The glimmerglasses sound interesting, though. I’ll probably get at least one.
God those eyeshadows sound amazing…..
I knew there was a reason I didn’t buy carbon!!! This sounds so cool
I’m sooooo getting volcanic ash!
OH EM GEE!
I’m going to have to try that Volcanic Ash Exfoliator and Baby Goth Girl Nail Lacquer.
This collection sounds really cool!
I want to get the Cinderfella Mineralized Eyeshadow too!
I don’t want the lipsticks og lipsloss, but the eyeshadows, liners and nailcolours, sounds good
I’d like the grease paintstick, one or two eyeshadows and of course the exfoliator and the mask
Finalllllllllllllyyy!!!!!! I’m so excited!!! I need almost everything of this collection
omgogoggomgomg Volcanic Ash Exfoliator!! CCBs *faints*
I wish I was paler for this collection, the contrast between pale skin and dark eyes/lips would be beautiful for black and white pictures. I love buying odd makeup for the sake of high glamour shots. <3
The 214! woohoo! I missed it from the BBR collection.
Im going to become a hooker just to pay for all of this.
LOL
Ohhhh I’m actually looking forward to this collection! Can’t wait to see it!
these shadows sound amazing! i cant even deal right now
Very interested to see pictures for this collection.
I like this trend. I think Black lips will be fun!! BTW, I tried to click on the “source” and it took me to a discontinued website?
Me too?
I would love to see the source.
GLIMMERGLASS! this is the only thing I’m thinking of compared to all other collections… black looks good on any complextion!
OMG! Are you freaking kidding me?!!! *screams*
i’m quite intrigued. I’d like to try a lg or two. maybe an e/s as well.
strict budget so i can’t really go all out.
I literally wan’t everythimg in this collection. I’m a dark eyes and dark lippie kinda gal. I can’t wait!!! Love love love.
HMMM.. to bad all the e/s are mineral. I love black eyeshadow! I’ll probably skip the nail polish cuz I mix my own but the glimmerglass is callin my name!!
For kit purposes, I’ll get every bit of the makeup and personally, I’ll be stocking up on the VAE and the mask.
every goth girl’s dream haha… i hope these products are wearable! i don’t mind if theyre black, just as long as theyre adjusted to a wearable black.. if that makes sense… by then my pale skin will be a little more tan from the summer, so i’m not too scared
well one reason they are really even introducing the black lipstick is not necessarily to wear it by itself but to actually mix it with other lip sticks to create awesome shades of that particular one. like dubonnet with it, or hug me, or even something like russian red, or girl about town. its all about getting creative =)
Im super flippin excited about the grease paint stick. =D it has AWESOME staying power. water resistant, can withstand pool junkies =)
the mineralize shadows hurt my eyes, i cant wear them =( but ill get them for shoots.
the displays are freaking GORGEOUS!!!!!
black lipstick o.o why? hmmm well i have to waite and see this collection but so far im iffy .idk
they couldn’t just let me keep my money for once!
i can’t wait to buy it alllll
Once again MAC is trying to ruin me!! I love black & this is the ultimate collection =)
Can’t wait to see the pics for this one. Black is my color!
I’m thinking Bling Black would look amazing over O lipstick!
I can’t wait for the solid black lipstick. It’s so hard to find a true black lipstick that’s actually of good quality. plus it’s a cremesheen, my favorite finish!
I wish Feline Kohl Power was in this collection! :0(
Feline Khol power is in the Dsquared collection coming out October 12th
I’m curious to see swatches or pictures.
What exactly is the grease paint stick?
Is it only for the eyes like a shadestick, or is it multi-purpose?
I don’t know about the black lips, but everything else, the eye shadow, cream bases, nail polish are all so enticing! I need to decide between pink and gold pearls. I love both! Glad it’s out in October internationally, that way I have time to save up.
i am still not decided which one should i get: the ash exfoliator the mask?
pls help me Christine
sorry i wrote it wrong…
so the exfoliator OR the mask???
if i only want to buy one,which should it be?
I haven’t tried the mask yet, but I know KNOW the Exfoliator is AMAZINGGGGG.
i know You are a fan of the exfoliator
DDD
last time i wanted to get it,it just went dc, so this time i try to save money for it,which will ba hard,since i want so many eyeshadows from different brands
this collection is mine!! i must have everything!
OMG!!! VAE and a mask!! Holy smokes… so stocking up on the VAE and will probably grab a few of the masks (I’m such a whore for masks). I’m so happy this is coming out again I love it to death.
I saw these swatched on paper today. the greasestick is awesome. it has a purple shine to it. The glimmerglasses and sheer with glitter in them. very pretty. The eyeshadows are really cool especially cinderfella. Hard to describe but if you like black you are gonna love these!!
Ohh, I wish we could see! Sounds gorgeous!
Just wait! this stuff is awesome,I was impressed with everything from this collection and got to play today!
Pardon the french, buuut.
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. I’m going to be so disgustingly broke. And I’m pretty much drooling right now. HELLO, FALL. <33333333333333
Ugh.. I don’t like mineralize eyeshadows. But I’ll definately get Black Knight l/s, the ccbs, and maybe Baby Goth Girl n/l. But what is a Grease Paintstick?? Is it like a shadestick?
Wow finally a collection on the darkside.
I will SLEEP outside of my MAC store the night before just so I can get my hands on VAE… haha.
I think this is a photo of the campaign images for the All Black Collection:
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj181/JennySeattle/StyleBlackCollage2.jpg
Im SOOOOOOOOOOO Excitted!!!
I’ll Be getting Bling Black & Black fire Glimmerglass
Young Punk MES
Black Grease Stick
& maybe Bat Black CCB
I alredy have Night Violet , its awsome really vampy.
This is the collection every MAC loving goth girl has been waiting for, I want almost all of it, and I’ve never said that about a collection before.
OHMYGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD -hyperventilates, faints-
VOLCANIC ASH! BLACK LIPGLOSS! BLACK CCB! YES!!!
this collection looks pretty exciting. I already own Night Violet, so that’s one thing to knock off the list. I wonder if the glimmerglasses are anything like the Kat Von D sheer black lipgloss, because I love that.
whoa! i will have to check this out in the store…black m/u intimidates me! i definitely should get the volcanic ash products though, see what the fuss is all about!
Sweet! I have got to try the lipglosses. They really need a black dazzleglass.
wow.
looks so darn awesome.
whats a grease paint stick?
you think it’s like a PRO paint stick??
Woah, i’m not so sure about black lips and faces, LOL. Not so much my style. But I may get one of the black eyeshadows, they sound pretty unique, and I really don’t have a good black eyeshadow. Also possibly a nail polish….and a volcano ash exfoliator? Sweet! That sounds awesome, I may check that out…but i don’t think I’m gonna go crazy with this collection.
Is the Volcanic Ash Thermal Mask going to be $19.50 like the scrub or will it be more? Trying to budget things out for my haul. If anybody knows please pass it on. thanx
The same price!
hey christine arent you exited about the volcanic ash exfoliator repromote??
Sure am!
Very intriqued by this collection but black scares me lol. Not sure whether i should skip or b brave and order some and see if i can find a way 2 use them….
i really want to se the facecharts thy cmeup with for this collection
pictures!
I agree. I love black everything… I’m saving my money starting now for this collection. I was going to get things from color craft but I think it can wait. I think I’ll like this collection much better
i want young punk and baby goth girl so badly! black with purple/pink shimmer…sounds gorgeous
