Mini nail lacquers? I’m sold. The neutral lipglasses are also mine. I also like the realistic photos that we’re getting instead of the heavily photoshoppped stuff.

These kits are the reason I could afford mac as a student. The Sassy Pink Lassies will probably sell out first due to the colour variation.

Now to chose between Warm Thrillseekers and Naughty Little Vices because I’m not getting both. ^_^

I think I’m going to try to get the Sassy Pink Lassies kit (though the Coral one is a nice second, if I can’t get the pink set). Also, those little tins they come in are too cute!

Do these kits contain full size lip-glasses and pigments (Full size of the recently downsized, ha!)? I can’t tell how much product we are actually getting, but the prices imply that they may be a much smaller size.

oh my god, the mac descriptions are so unbelievably twee! that aside its hard to really get a good idea of the products from these photos but i’m looking forward to checking them out in real life!

So how does this work? I am new to MAC this past year so this is my first kit… with the pigments you get the 5 for 32.50? if that’s the case I’ll be getting all 3! Even though I’ll be duping some from what I already own.

i usually get the neutral lipglasses, but they look dark this season. the coral lipglasses look nice, but the description doesn’t sound like it would be nice on. i’ll have to look at it in person, but still excited.

I’m loving some but not all of this collection which is a relief for my pocket but I still havent gotten all I want from the venomous villans collection. Oh to be rich and able to buy everything ha ha. I wish it cost the same here in Ireland and it does in America/Canada

Last year’s mini lipglasses were 2.4g/.08 US oz – a regular lipglass weighs in at 4.8g/.17 US oz

So, they have about half as much product as a regular size. Of course, this is assuming they are the same as last year (and the year before).

My pocket will be hurting on November 4th. I will definitely be buying the coral lipglasses (first picture shown) and possibly some of those pigments. I’m not crazy about MAC nail polishes, I’ve had bad experiences with them. 🙁

Hi Christine! From your experience, how quickly would you say these holiday collections sell out? Is it like the highly anticipated collections, where we have to pre-order everything? Or are these better stocked?

I’m so glad that nothing from this collection appeals to me. If it did, I wouldn’t even know where to start. I guess I’ll be saving a lot of money 🙂

Oh no, why would they start putting new LE pigments in the pigment sets? :O
I can’t justify buying a pigment set with 4 perm shades and 1 new but I love pigments so much and usually want every single one, haha 😉

Is the one in the red and green plaid the pink lipglass set? And is the one in the orange and blue the coral set? I want the orange and blue one, but I can’t tell!

Christine,

I wanted to thank you for posting the pics. My MAC store did not have them on site but we could prepurchase them. Thanks to the pics, I chose the ones that I wanted and had them put aside so I won’t have to run around after them.

Oh no! You mean I JUST ordered a bunch of the Chapter 1 collection and now these (Chapter 2) are coming out in a week or so?

Well, I’m going to have to get the cool pigment set, I have no choice! Thanks for all the great pics & swatches so far, and I’m looking forward to those from Chapter 2.

I just bought the lipgloss sets today. I had prepurchased them at the MAC store near me and they received them this week. From what the MUA told me, they are receiving very small quantities compared to last year (12 of each instead of approx.60); 3/4 have already been sold through prepurchases. So if you want them, act fast. The colors are great !!!

I don’t know if this will be seen, because it is an old post, but I’ll try anyway.

Does anyone know when these sets will come online? I spoke with MAC live chat, and they said that they don’t have a “confirmed” date. That’s sort of what they always say though..

I think they meant the lip sets with the 5 mini lipglosses…I thought they were due to be released on the 4th, and they are still not online…?
