The Best & Worst of the MAC x Nicopanda Collection
MAC x Nicopanda Collection
MAC x Nicopanda Collection features three eye/cheek palettes, standalone face powder, six lipsticks, and four lipglosses, which are swatched below. A few of the lipsticks were good, while I could see the glosses working for layering, but overall, this collection left me disappointed.

There was a best? Lol! Just kidding!
I just saw a MAC Instagram post where the make up artist uses Preppy Panda on a model. She put the purple color(s) on the lid and it looked so patchy in the quick shots of her trying to blend it out. You can see how patchy and chalky the whole palette is. Even the finished shots with all of the colors don’t look like they played well together. Such a shame. Only 16 comments too . . . I think they have been filtering comments more than usual.
Wow, what a mixed bag, gems and trash!
This collection was so disappointing.
Some of the lipsticks were really good, but the rest of collection was really poor. An epic fail here MAC.
Wow. MAC lost yet one more excellent opportunity to have one really fun, yet really good quality release. Between this and that gawdawful Jeremy Scott Collection, I’m embarrassed FOR the brand. And sad. Very sad ?. This is actually an insult to pandas!
I see I’m not alone in being disappointed with this collection/collab. What a waste.
they should’ve done the blushes alone. i would like the blush in Preppy Panda, but not those patchy eyeshadows. i don’t want to pay for them. i just want the blush!
