Damn you MAC…how am I supposed to save any money? I thought I had sometime but I guess not. Thanks for the info Christine!
Christine
Thursday, May 15, 2008
LOL, I know right!
Meg
Monday, May 12, 2008
I am so excited !!
BUT… MAC is slamming us with tons of new products this summer.
Christine
Thursday, May 15, 2008
I completely agree, Meg :(

Hey Karen! I know, lots of saving to do ahead of us!
Pquanda
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
Hey Christine! Regardless of when they come out in stores, the first date listed after each collection is when they are available online, correct?
Christine
Thursday, May 15, 2008
Hey Pquanda! Usually if the launch date gets moved up, it will appear 2 days or the Tuesday before the launch day.

New lipstick finish!
Emily
Monday, June 30, 2008
I’m glad we’ve got some good collections coming up soon, I wasn’t really into NN or Cool Heat. But dang, MAC, slow down, you’re taking the allure out of LE. They know we’re suckers and will definitely buy it if they attach LE to it, though! And I confess to being one of those suckers. :P
Christine
Wednesday, July 2, 2008
lol, indeed, Emily… we’re so easy for the picking!
Susy
Friday, July 25, 2008
Hi, Do you happen to have a list of previous MAC launches? 2007 for example?
Christine
Friday, July 25, 2008
Hi Susy,
I don’t have a post like this that compiles them, but I believe you are looking for the Raquel Welch collection :)
Susy
Monday, July 28, 2008
Sweet! that’s the one! thanks :) ps. i love the site!
Susy
Friday, July 25, 2008
Oops, I forgot to mention why..lol..I’m looking for the name of the launch that came out with the packaging that looked like a tiger, I believe? It was Rachel ? something :(
Carrie

I know this was probably a lot of work for you to maintain, but with how many posts you make for each launch I reallyyyyy used this one a lot to find the swatches, promo images, etc really quick and to keep taps on what was upcoming. I was wondering if you’d considering maintaining it for the 2009 MAC launches? It was super useful!
Christine
Tuesday, January 6, 2009
I will update soon! Thanks! I do have every intention of maintaining this post, I just tend to forget ;)
kat
Tuesday, January 6, 2009
Its ok! I really appreciate it, it’s been sooo useful! i even have it bookmarked as my go-to post!

I’m uber excited for the graphic garden collection!

Soooo many interesting things coming out. I hope I have easy access to a MAC store when I go to university or I think I may die :(

Elise
Tuesday, July 28, 2009
I was just wondering if you could update the information on upcoming collections to include the holiday ones. I noticed that other websites have info on more October, November and December collections? You however give much beter descriptions so could you please update? Thank you in advance!
Christine
Tuesday, July 28, 2009
I don’t have any information besides names for winter collections at this time, sorry, Elise!
Lindsey
Wednesday, August 12, 2009
Yeah, could you put the Magic Mirth Mischief Collection up there?
Thanks!
Laura
Saturday, August 22, 2009
I am really in need of the MAC 184 fan brush. Unfortunately I don’t have a Pro store in my state. Is MAC planning to launch it as a non pro item any time soon? Is there another way to get my hands on one?
Christine
Monday, August 24, 2009
I don’t have any information that would suggest this, sorry! You can call any PRO store in your country and have them ship it to you.
Elise
Tuesday, September 29, 2009
Hello. Could you please update the list. The one you have up only shows one thing for October and nothing else. And it’s end of September. I rely on this list to know what is coming and how to budget my money. Now, I don’t know about any collections at all. Thank You so much.
Christine
Friday, October 2, 2009
Hi Elise, I’ll definitely update it as I can!

Here is more info on MAC upcoming collections. Perhaps this may help you out with updating photos for Love Lace collection. I can’t wait to see MAC All Ages, All Races, and All Sexes photos.
Christine
Thursday, December 10, 2009
Hi Rhonda,
Thanks for the link! I don’t usually put information up that isn’t confirmed or 100% sure (e.g. working names). I only post information when it’s full and accurate (so product names, descriptions, etc.). I’ve only seen a very tiny promo photo for All Ages, All Races, and All Sexes, but whenever I have full, high quality photos (similarly, I only update with photos if they’re good photos — blurry photos won’t do!), I’ll be sure to post.
Steffi
Saturday, December 26, 2009
Could you please update this post with the newest swatches and LEs?

Have you got the UK launch dates or rough ones? This is so useful, thanks!
Christine
Wednesday, January 13, 2010
If it’s like January 1st, then international is just January, but if it’s say January 15th, then it’ll be February – I never see specific dates, just the month :(

Hello Christine,
I really need something orange in my stash. What’s the best?
- buy MAC devil blush (dupe for Hot hot hot?)
- buy Optimistic Orange?
Thanks for your feedback
Christine
Tuesday, February 9, 2010
I think Devil blush maybe a little more orange?
I am also not sure if it is eye-safe (they may use pigments that are known irritants around the eyes, vs. OK for the cheeks), so you might want to look into that :)
Optimistic Orange is really fun, and I’d go for that Devil–just because it’s new, limited edition, and different from the permanent line. You can always grab Devil whenever you want, you know?
Mirna
Wednesday, February 10, 2010
Hey Christine,
I saw that the MAC website had a collection called MILK. Will you be doing something for that here?
Christine
Wednesday, February 10, 2010
Hi Mirna,
I won’t be, because it’s all permanent products being repromoted right before Fashion Week. I guess I don’t really consider it a “collection” since there’s nothing new at all in it (or repromoted… just all permanently available products that have been permanent forever!).
SiaM
Tuesday, February 16, 2010
Christine I need a dupe for a discontinued MAC lipstick, it is called All Revealing is an amplified creme and it came in a collection in 06 or 07(yep that was one of my first MAC purchases) Something about black formal…. and it came in a set with a bag 2 lipsticks and a lipgloss.
I don’t know if this is to much to ask and I am really sorry to bring this up, but lately with your spring lip swatches I was reminded of it and some colors seem to be very close to it like Guerlain Gardenia Rouge G Lipstick (but All revealing is a more intense peachy-sandy nude color).
Thanks for your help, is just that I love the color and brings me back good memories !!!! ♥x♥x♥
Christine
Tuesday, March 2, 2010
Hey SiaM,
I’ve been trying to track down a swatch of All Revealing (I don’t remember it), but I haven’t been able to :(
Based on your description, maybe something more like Peachstock! (PRO, but will be out with Liberty of London.)

Sunday, March 21, 2010
This is great Christine, I was just thinking the other day I wasn’t sure what collections were coming up next. Of course we still haven’t had Riveting and Give Me Liberty in the UK (in fact I wonder if we’ll get Riveting here at all?). I’m also hoping there’ll be a new mineralized collection this summer again like the previous two years now. ;)
Christine
Sunday, March 21, 2010
I feel pretty confident that we’ll be seeing a mineralize collection come July ;) I’d be shocked if there wasn’t!
Shannon
Sunday, March 21, 2010
Thank you soo much Christine!!!i’m really excited to the feline inspired collection:)
Ashley
Sunday, March 21, 2010
I’m so excited for a cat collection! I’m such a cat lover! I really wish it would have special packaging, but with all of the other special packaging ones coming out, probably not :( It would be really awesome to have cat silhouettes on the lids, or even cat faces. Kind of tacky perhaps, but I’d sure buy it!
