I love this collection!
does anyone else notice on the right side of that very 1st picture it looks like they have leopard/ zebra print makeup bags? I don’t remember hearing about MU bags being released..can anyone confirm? thanks!

Brenda Avatar

The MAC bags are to be released a bit later to MAC stores only (MAC MUA showed me) there will be a tiger print, leopard print, and zebra print one. Forgot what sizes are what though, sorry.

Alexa Avatar

its available online now, you just have to look for it, like for the beauty powder blush look under cheeks and its there along with lustredrops

Skyler Avatar

Why weren’t those make-up bags released?! That totally makes me mad that they put those in the picture! Grr.

Also highly, highly upset that MAC has done this to me again. I thought I had another week to save and now I have to fork over a ton of money this week instead. I even verified with them late last week about the 28th and they said yes. Morons.

Nathalie Avatar

You get me a bit confused… Why can’t you wait and buy what you want on 28th? No one is obliged to run the day mac release a new collection, you know. 🙂

viv Avatar

aw man.. i want so many things from this collection! but why aren’t the bronzing powders listed? aren’t they part of the collection too?

Miss Trendy Avatar

its finally available on the Canadian and Pro sites… I’ll be visiting my nearest pro store on Wednesday… I need to compare bright future to bright sunshine and would prefer the vibrant grape in the pan rather than the style warrior packaging (only gonna get depotted into my palette anyway!) lol

Aj Avatar

*Sigh*. I wish vibrant grape would fall from the heavens in to my makeup bag. I can’t justify buying a “fun” color right now, but it’s sooo pretty!

heather Avatar

I’ve decided i’m not going to get anything from this collection.. I don’t even wear makeup 99 percent of the time so.. But I might get one or two of the lustre drops and maybe brave new bronze/sunsational.

Brittany Avatar

i love tinted lip conditioners, they should’ve brought atleast one of those out. the lipglasses look pretty cool tho so ima get one or teo of those if ive got the money. maybe just maybe will i consider a beauty powder, the rest isnt really appealing. but thts just me :O)

Ok, another (slightly crazy) question… do you think Soft Force is to gold what Electra is to silver? If not, are there any that you think are?

Brian Avatar

OMG I LOVE this collection i saw it at my mac makeup counter & I LOVE IT!!! I am getting one of everything from this collect when it come out nect thursday!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!

Silk Avatar

omg….love the packaging!!! It’s soo funny how they put the products in the box. Like…for example, if you get a lipglass with a leopard print…it will come in a zebra print box, vice versa.

Brave New Bronze is a must have in this collection if you want a perfect nude color!!

The only non-counter MAC store near me, ran out of Brave New Bronze l/s so I had to run over to the Nordstrom to pick it up…they almost ran out too!!!

Brightness Avatar

The counter here didn’t have it displayed until later, too. I kept checking everyday. I picked up the Soft Force & Bright Yellow.

I need to see some swatch comparisons because I thought Night Manoeuvres reminded me of Showstopper. I liked two of the solar bits but couldn’t decide if they were close to the Pearlizers or other LE pigments that were previously released?

Kelly Avatar

omfg. LOL I haven’t even went to the Mac counter yet to get these! AHH im so late.
I heard that Cherish lipstick is very similar to Brave New Bronze and i can’t decide which one to get!!! Help?! Im an NC35.

Karla Avatar

I need a good nude lipstick… I only have funky bright colors. like morange, violetta, and blast o blue. lol. Brave new bronze looks lovely for my NW20 skin tone 🙂

Beatrice Avatar
