MAC Cosmetics - The Originals Collection Preliminary Information

We have an update on the Originals collection! Many of the items are more like improvements of existing or old shades that are consumer favorites, but perhaps not MAC addict favorites, but who else is tired of Kitschmas coming out? Many of the products featured in this collection will be reformulated to be better than their original counterparts, hence why some of the names aren’t dead ringers for older colors.

Memorabilia

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

I don’t want to doubt Juneplum’s information… but these things came to mind for me:
– the list is big… this would mean that the collection is almost larger than a Nordstrom Novel Twist for example.
– it makes me wonder if this isn’t a best of list that forum users brought together???
– if we sound dissappointed at the list.. I’m just wondering if any MAC manager would read this, take note of it and change the list 🙂
– knowing MAC and how they like to make a big thing of things.. I would have expected a huge internet poll. Can you see us Mac Fans rallying up support for our favorite products!!!! I can see the voting frenzy now
– anyone want to join my study group so we can figure out what product comes from what collection. I’ll sponsor the coffee and the doughnuts
– one last things… what strikes me is that we don’t yet know any details about collections like Antiquitease (no color names or descriptions) and yet we would know the exact list of everything from the Originals collection.
– if you ask me, MAC is better at innovating than at repromoting.

Hey Bart! You bring up a lot of good points, BUT it was confirmed by no less than three MAC MAs 🙁

A lot of details about upcoming collections are just leaked by makeup artists at the retail level, so there’s no real control over what they tell the public and what they don’t.

I am so sick of Kitschmas it’s ridiculous… seriously if they’re going to repromote, they should actually repromote things everyone loves….

This list makes me depressed.
