WOW!! Look at Smoked Purple and Dark Envy! I might also have to snag Runaway Red, these colors are GORGEOUS. I knew from your descriptions a while ago that I would need some of these products but I even like ones I wasn’t expecting to!

Out of everything MAC has coming out this Fall, this was the collcetion I was anticipating the most! I can’t wait to see Prince Noir also!

the quad, lipglass and lipstick (especially Good Times and Rebel) look stunning, i need those in my life! can’t wait for the full review

Christa Avatar

OMG, I was just thinking about this collection to day and looking forward to its launch! Thank you so much for these–you have perfect timing!

Helena Avatar

Cakeshop. Is. BACK.
I’m trying my hardest to ascertain whether Secret Lover is magically the same color as your arm or transparent. *checks release info* Transparent, I guess, since it’s supposed to be “pale pink….”

Catherine Avatar

Wow! I totally didn’t want the Lady Grey quad, but your swatches are really tempting me. I thought Avenue would have more of a goldish hint or gold shimmer, but I don’t really see it. At least I can take that off my list.

Ryan Avatar

I wounder If llicit is anything like MAC Sock hop from forever ago… I always wanted that shade but I didn’t get into MAC until way after its release. But overall there is nothing non-permanent that screams to me except outre eyeshadow. I love that kind of color for fall and I have nothing like it (=

Jill Avatar

Oh, Oh, Oh and Rebel really catch my eye! I’m fair-skinned and on a bright lip kick at the moment! MUST HAVE! Runway Red looks a lil Coral-y for my taste.

Natalie Avatar

I was eyeing off that beautiful brown e/s at the top in the picture and then I saw that it was Satin Taupe, my fav. colour. No wonder!

amamnda Avatar

also, i am very grateful right now that i already have peachstock, smoked purple, wee coquette [mini] and rebel.. because i know i would have bought them and they are the biggies of the collection that i can tell are going to be the first gone, especially where the store isnt near a pro store.. i think avenue and the ccb are the only things i like.. surprisingly, ive never given illicit a shot before.. but i might!

amamnda Avatar

and maybe the red l/s if i like the comparison swatches.. i like the shadestick but have never used them before and have no idea how!!

Judy Avatar

OMG!!!!!!!! I just wanted a bunch of lipsticks from this collection, but that Lady Grey quad has me ooohing over it. I’m definitely getting Oh Oh Oh, Runaway Red, Smoked Purple lipsticks. Waiting for Prince Noir and Offshoot lipstick swatches. Thank you Christine!! You just cheered me up so much. <3

Lacey J. Avatar

Makes a list of things I want.
this will be the first time I plan on ordering anything from limited edition this year for sure.

Devi Avatar

Haha, I was scrolling through the comments, and I was almost reaching the end and I thought “Wait, I can’t be the only one who isn’t really into this!?” Seems the less impressed waited a while before posting their sentiments.

But yeah, nothing here really got my attention. :/

JenJ Avatar

I’m not either. Nice stuff but not wowed and a 51 piece collection seems like overkill when you have a new collection almost every other month. Also a lot of it looks like stuff they already have with slight changes to the colors. *shrugs*

Carrie Ann Avatar

I’m glad so many of these shades are repromotes. My wallet can’t take all of these new MAC collections. Can’t wait to see more of your swatches. Thanks, Christine!

Kimberly Avatar

The lipsticks are amazing…I can’t wait to get Peachstock, Rebel, and Runaway Red…and probably a few more things like the eyeshadow quad since I love the greys…thanks so much for sharing with us…I am beyond excited!!!!

KC Avatar

MAC Take root CCB and Equilibrium blush would make great eyeshadows! Hey, that’s what I use my Style blush for. Rebel lipstick needs to be mine. Butternut shadestick looks awesome, so does Oh, Oh, Oh and Social Light. Damn, I gine be broke.

Mel Avatar

Hmm…I like Social Light Lipglass, Runaway Red looks like a possibility if it leans warm enough, and Smoked Purple but I’m going to need to see a swatch of Prince Noir before I’m sure I want it.

lauwills Avatar

ohhhh! thanks so much for the swatches. I will be needing good times lipglass, wee coquette lipglass, and the secret lover lipstick. (and stunner blush of course!)

Msharma Avatar

Why does oh oh oh look so familiar? Is it “same” as the sheen supreme 1 just about to release? Glad I m not crazy about all this stuff.

Maureen Avatar

Lady Grey palette is gorgeous. I also like those shadesticks, but they seem to be very similar to the Nyx Jumbo Eye pencils. I know there’d be a gap in quality, but I’m sure it wouldn’t make a difference to me.

Pamela Avatar

Well, the two shadows that I was most anticipating look like dupes of shadows I already have: Mythical seems like Bold & Brazen and Outre seems like Ochre Style. Say it isn’t so!

Tracey Avatar

I’m loving dark purple lipstick lately so I can’t wait to see what Prince Noir looks like and Love how Smokey Purple looks ^_^

Marina Avatar

SO EXCITED! Though MAC totally should have sent over more stuff! This doesn’t include some of the stuff I was most looking forward to – :(! Lovin’ Social Light lipglass, and Heirloom and Butternutty shadesticks though! Think I’ll pass on Moleskin though, it looks super close to Soba ,which I already own.

Precious Avatar

Aloha! My question is or more like a thought. Would you ever consider doing a page of showing what MAC eyeshadows go good with? Sometimes I have a difficult time with that, but maybe if you had a section for that, it would help us newbies out in learning what eyesahdows go good together even if it is just 2-3 colors like the lid and crease n highlight. Thank you! and I like this swatch page as well!

AlexisV. Avatar

I always think it’s dumb when they include a regular permanent shade in a collection, but for me it makes sense to include Satin Taupe, cuz it looks good on everyone, IMO. Plus, it’s my fav shadow of all time, so I’m biased i guess. I can’t wait to get these fluidlines – they are calling me!!! So is Smoked Purple lipstick, and I usually hate purple lipsticks. Interesting collection definitely.

Laura Avatar

Haha, two of the swatches that made me go “ooh – want!” were Satin Taupe and Rebel, both of which I already own (I’m wearing Rebel today actually)!

Definitely going to get Smoked Purple, Runaway Red, both new Fluidlines (I have Dark Diversion), at least 2 x Social Light lipglass, and maybe the quad and Oh Oh Oh lippy. Oh well, at least I’m on a no-buy for clothes at the moment so I can justify splurging a little on make up!

The shadesticks look lovely but I HATE the ones I’ve owned previously as they’re so dry and hard to use. I will just wait for the new Paint Pots instead I think.

Rosie Avatar

I said this collection didn’t look that great when you 1st annouced the next collection. So I lyed I totally want every color though a few aren’t my favorite but I quite like several in all products!!!! Cake shop looks awesome but I read a few comments that say otherwise?! I’m def. going to have to go to a counter once this collection releases! Thanks for Christine for adding more items to my wish list…. it’s never ending lol 😉

Shauna Avatar

I really like this collection. I definatly want all the fluidlines, the two eye brushes and possible a shoadow and blush…. lol

divinem (Melissa) Avatar

Love the Runaway Red but will have to see it on myself. I REALLY need to take my de-potted shadows in. It’s ridiculous to spend $$ on lipstick when I have so many empties on hand for freebies.

As always, thanks so much, Christine, for your service to the beauty community!

divinem (Melissa) Avatar

I’m really bummed to read about the shadesticks. I like the cakeshop (light green). Oh well. I wonder if I applied it with a brush if that would help with its application? Still, if I have WORK to make a product work for me, I’m unlikely to use it, so I think I’ll pass on it.

Sarah Avatar

Oh my goodness, I saved money up every since I found out about this collection! Soo many beautiful colors! I love love love fall because of the darker makeup shades! Thanks for the swatches!
