i see a lot of the cost is merely for packaging BUT I’m down for the bag, mirror and maybe a cream base!! gotta see swatches on golden age first…

I love the look of the packaging and the theme but the collection feels sort of incomplete to me. Perhaps it’s because there are more accessories than there are eyeshadows. I do love the look of the lipsticks, I just adore that Forties’ look.

I’m not sure about the lipstick packaging. The clear outer casing cheapens it a bit for me, and seems like it will show wear quickly. I do love the gold spiderweb, though! Overall, the collection will probably be a pass, as I’m not in need of any of these products in these colors, even if I love the idea behind it.

I feel the same for some, I don’t like the packaging. Packaging doesn’t really bother me but the products don’t seem exciting either.

Ohh this is super pretty I love reds and that little pigment bottle and nail polish bottles are super cute not to mention the makeup bag and mirror. Old classic Hollywood is back in a big way. I feel like they could have done an eyeshadow palette to go with this but really Mac dose that 90% of the time with their collections how many little eyeshadow palettes do you really need right lol. I am happy they put the time into doing somethings different for this collection like the mirror bag plus the ccb and pigments can work for the eyes just add a winged liner and your ready to go. I can’t wait for your reviews and swatches Christine so greatful for your honest reviews.

Love the packaging. Not sure I’m tempted by the products…well, except for the brown red lipstick, but will await the reviews!

Danyelle Avatar

I’ve been looking forward to this collection, mainly for the packaging I’ll admit. I need to see swatches but I’ll probably pick up a lipstick and a nail polish, maybe one of the color bases if it’s dark enough.

El Avatar

Gorgeous packaging – especially love the nail varnish shape. But none of the products really appeal. I love the vintage lip *colours*, but MAC’s matte formulations are murder on my dryness-prone lips.

Diana Avatar

When I first saw these I was very excited. Now that I’m past the initial wow moment not so much. The packaging is ok but they could have done so much with that spiderweb as pattern. The clear packaging on the lipstick is eh for me. I’ll pass. Also, $17 for blotting paper! Yeah, pass.

Terry Avatar

I have two of the lipsticks and while the quality and colors are beautiful the packaging is sooooo cheap I was tempted to return them! I usually don’t depot limited edition iteme but I will these I agree that the line seems incomplete more of an accessory item
