These look really pretty.
I guess those of us still hoping for the Dazzle Lipsticks to come back are going to die waiting lol Hopefully these are pretty too. The star embossing certainly is nice to look at 🙂
This is a very pretty collection. I’m a sucker for a star theme. I’m interested in the lip and cheek products. I’m not offended at the f-word, but…was Starf*cker as a product name really necessary? It doesn’t go with the other names, aside from having “star” in it. In a holiday collection, it doesn’t seem respectful, regardless of which holiday one is celebrating. If it’s the purple lipglass with fuchsia sparkle, though, said name wouldn’t keep me from buying it, so I suppose I’m a hypocrite.
It is the name of a Nine Inch Nails song, so there’s that…
Ah, I see. Thanks. I’m not a NIN fan.
Rachel, it is the true purple Lipglass, unfortunately. I’m definitely not going to buy it because it would be really embarrassing for me if someone in the congregation loved it and asked me what it’s called. Makes me sad, too. Why did MAC have to go J* with the name? ?
I absolutely agree with you about that shade name. Especially during the holiday season. I don’t like shade names that would make me feel uncomfortable to say if asked what shade I’m wearing (depending on who’s doing the asking). Although I do use NARS Orgasm. So I suppose I’m a hypocrite, too!
They should launch same color with different names, one for the `Naughty`, one for the `Nice` 😆
Good idea!
I love star-themed anything. Disappointed they didn’t emboss the e/s palettes.
If I were to start my lipstick collection from zero, the `Taste of Stardom` kit would definitely interest me.
I usually prefer only the Matte, Satin and Retro Matte formula, but two Frost, one Lustre and one Dazzle is not that bad in a 12 mini lipstick sets.
Well… I would miss something like Velvet Teddy in the mix, but otherwise the color range is nice to build a collection upon. And the mini format is more… finishable. 😆
What I love the most is that the lipstick case reflects the color and finish, easy to grab quickly the shadow one wants.
Oooh this collection is so pretty! I’ll have to check it out in stores when it launches!
I already own six of the shades that are in the Taste of Stardom set and I’m not very interested in the other six, so I’m very relieved that there’s no temptation, especially since I don’t want to buy minis anymore. On the other hand, I’m curious to see the Kiss of Stars swatches.
Looks like at least one shimmery, pearly berry-red lipstick made it into this consortium, Christine! ? That’s the one I have my eye on. Might presale it, but then again, it would probably be wiser to wait for your lip swatches first. I love the fuchsia-purple one, too!
I also love the looks of several of the Lipglasses, however, I cannot get with that one very offensive name. So, it’s a no go for whichever shade that may be. No matter how pretty.?
I’m surprised MAC have brought back the semi-loose magnetic shadow—not often that they repromote trend/gimmick formulas. I wonder how it’d interact with magnetic lashes/liner, now that those are a thing.
I hope they put as much effort into the formulas as they put into the packaging. I’m not holding my breath but those are some pretty designs.
Odd that some of them don’t have color descriptions. Is the Spellbinder Shadow in the lower right of the photo blackish green? Warm black? Deepest gray with an olive shift? I genuinely can’t tell. It’ll probably turn out to be something boring like straight up black, but for now, I’m intrigued.
The light face palette is like a work of art; I’m not getting it, as I wouldn’t have the heart to use it and mess up the designs (also — and more importantly — I have more highlighters and blushes than one person can use in twenty lifetimes).
The full-size lipsticks are amazing; I definitely don’t need any more lipsticks, especially reds, but if someone threw Walk of Flame into my lap, I wouldn’t throw it back. Asterisk either. 🙂
I don’t think I own any MAC glosses; the purple and berry ones look pigmented enough to blot nicely, and they’re great colors. Hmmmmmmm …
I’m with you on the light face palette. I love it, but have so many already. ….Will probably get it anyway, LOL.
I saw the mini lip kit br chance a few days ago, and it is gorgeous, ahhh! I love Mac lippies and buy these kits because they are great to bundle a few and give as gifts.
Oh my – I have the feeling MAC gets the prize for MOST STUFF IN A HOLIDAY COLLECTION – I can hardly take it all in. I was hoping the Spellbinder shadows would include the shade I missed out on last time as it was sold out at my local MAC – Dynamically Charged. One of the shadows in this holiday release looks like it could be similar. I’ll wait for your verdict, Christine.
Duh duh duh – thought I’d clicked “replies to my comments” but I missed it so trying to fix that now!
Holy Mama – how big is this collection? The Kiss of Stars lipsticks look like Colour Pop’s. I seem to remember that the Spellbinder series was quite good, so hopefully these will too.
The name of the lipgloss is quite disrespectful of the season it is meant to represent.
I agree. Like others have said, it seems out of place with the other names in the collection, almost like they wanted to be edgy. In the end, it’s just disrespectful.
The models look gorgeous. Not sure I’ll pick anything up from this after recent purchases of the last few months. I’m not as excited about this as I thought I’d be.
So, I am looking at this release at about 1:30 AM my time and my eyes are about glued shut. Holy cow there are a lot of products in this release. I am going to have to come back tomorrow to really make sense of it all. Agree with others, that one shade name is very disrespectful of the season and for me personally, all of the time. So, I would have to scrape the name off and then plead ignorance if anyone asks me what I am wearing. Not sure it is worth it so will have to wait for swatches and reviews to start rolling in.
My unholy God that’s a lot of stuff, its almost overwhelming. I want a lot of it, I can’t wait to see swatches to see what truly grabs me!
already bought some of the lippies and highlighters. They really needn’t bother with e/s with the holiday and special releases: the quality is always sketchy and colors and presentation are never as inspired as everything else.
I really hope the quality is there for these because I am drawn in! I don’t like the lip glass formula so will 100% skip those. I am very interested in the Lavendar and Fuschia palettes, light face palette, and Starstrukk lipstick. I think the packaging is great, but a lot of MAC recently has been all packaging and the product doesn’t perform well so that makes me nervous to buy sight/review unseen.
Wow! I haven’t bought any MAC holiday stuff in several years, but there are several things I like here! I look forward to your reviews, Christine.
I love starry packaging and the whole theme this year so please let that purple palette be semi-decent!
