I have been stalking this collection since its announcement in January. I was originally planning on getting everything minus the blue and God lipsticks. But I now think I’ll just get the other 3 lipsticks and the yellow and orange eye shadows.

Something for everyone! Some wild, some classic. Super colorways in the packaging, very inventive. MAC has blown some excellent packaging opportunities in the past year… A decent red, which MAC usually does well (and sometimes overdoes well.) some don’t apply beautifully, but are interesting shades, maybe toppers? Personally liking the light plums. But, have I been too conditioned by quasi-racy makeup names to have my mind plummet to the gutter over Vermillion Vee?

I found out that CLOUD GAIT and GOLD XIXI where luster finish awhile ago but these……. 🙁 they’re more like a Glaze formula…. stupid sheer lipsticks.

Serious MAC have some balls to make these visible on the lips when you make unique shades. I WANTED THESE SHADES! O____o

Hard Candy Fierce Effects Lipstick are a better version of these shade now and they are semi opaque at least.

Colour-wise, except for the pink CCB and the aqua/turquoise shadow (which looks patchy and dry in any case), there is absolutely nothing here that even remotely interests me. It’s bright and the packaging looks so nice and colourful but that’s about it.

Wow, so beautiful, I can’t stop looking! Not sure I could wear too much from this collection but I love how bold and bright they are. I love the packaging too, of course.

Noooo! Cloud Gait you were supposed to be the Chosen One! I’ve been on the hunt for a good mint green lipstick. Oh well, still a fan of some of the other shades especially Royal Woo 🙂

Oh my goodness, finally! Have been eagerly awaiting this collection since I saw instagram. I normally don’t go for lavender lipsticks, but Plum Princess is so unique looking, and that packaging is gorgeous! Also eyeing Cream Base in Sock It Xiqu – such a cute name and unique shade !

I love the packaging! I like the pink and red lipsticks, the cheek colours and all the eyeshadows, though I couldn’t pull off the yellow one! It does look amazing, really vibrant.

It seems like this collection that is for a very small, specific niche that I am not a part of…I’m sure there are people that can make things work, but I’m not even going to think I’d get one use of any of these pieces. The pink ls is nothing unique, so it’s a complete and total pass.

Such a shame for the absolutely beautiful packaging. There.is.not one.single.thing.that.I.would.even.consider.buying.just.to.have.at.least.one.piece.of.this.collection.

I’ve passed on all the makeup sales and every single MAC collection this year and the end of last. I was a huge MAC and makeup junkie. After buying a ton of things from every single launch for the past 6 years or so, I am very turned off of MAC and makeup in general. Things are way over hyped and I’m unable to see things IRL and by a very lucky chance I was able to spend a few minutes feeling well enough to walk around ULTA for a few minutes, after swatching multiple things that I really thought I must have I was not interested in a single item and that is saying a lot for me.

I think I’m finally truly over makeup…YEA!

For the rest of you all enjoy.

I am not the biggest MAC fan, I honestly don’t get the hype. All the lipsticks I own from MAC are no better than my maybellines but I still pick up a few and that Plum is looking right!! That will be the color I go to purchase.
