MAC Bao Bao Wan Collection for March 2015

Love the look of the eyeshadow palette and the bronze. Hope it is good!
Burmese kiss is MINE.
Its already on macys site, there are a few things left. The purple lipstick is sold out 🙁
Check the MAC site! 😀
Oh sorry, I’m looking at the Canadian site – they might be sold out on the US one!
ah! Pretty!!!!
I love the promo image!
I know that nude shade and the eyeshadow palette will probably sell out on launch date in a flash. Even though the eyeshadow colors are super cute I feel like they may be dupable. Hopefully they are actually in a decent sized palette for people who do collect that sort of thing. I’m still looking forward to the Becca Blushed Copper Collection though. lol
I can’t wait for that new Becca highlighter!
Looks DELIGHTFUL!
Oh, I was just looking at the Summer Opal Beauty Powder on the MAC site thinking “Do I really need another highlighter just because it’s in a new package and stamped LE? Really?” MAC needs to stop with the slew of collections – they’re killin’ me!
Items from this collection are already on eBay for upwards of $90!
That’s absurd! That is why I think LE is really a hoax!
Love the ad photo for this collection. Looks intriguing but wow, there’s so many new MAC collections!
Lavender Jade reminds me of Colour Pop Brills!
This is such a joke. They didn’t release any promo or into for this collection until the day it’s online, and things have already sold out. Thanks for the gimmick Mac.
Actually, information about this release has been circulating for at least a few months (I’ve seen releases/blog posts about it since January of this year). 🙂
I only post official information as to avoid any confusion for readers — sorry!
I got an e-mail about this this morning from MAC and right away went to check out lavender jade to see it was already sold out! I cannot believe within a half hour of the e-mail that lipstick was already gone on MAC’s website!
Ugh! The same thing happened to me! I was so bummed out 🙁
Parts of this collection (the 4 lipsticks) were accidentally released on MAC’s website last summer and some early orders were even shipped out but many were cancelled. As a result, many MAC fans have kept their eyes peeled for months on the lookout for when the products were going to be officially released in a collection.
fingers crossed for Burmese Kiss and Summer Opal!
For all my Canadian friends, the collection is live on the Mac website and everything seemed to be in stock when I put my order in! =) I picked up Burmese Kiss, Forbidden Sunrise, Summer Opal and the eyeshadow palette. I don’t usually pick up Mac’s eyeshadow palettes but the (few) swatches I found were beautiful, hopefully they won’t disappoint.
Yes it’s all still online now! 😀
These lipsticks look really nice — I’m not sure that the purple one would look nice on me, but I’m hoping you manage to get them so I can see swatches! I’m not sure how I feel about the eye shadow palette; the fact that they’ve said applying them dry offers “sheer coverage” kind of sounds like a Get Out of Jail card for not-great quality, but perhaps I’m being pessimistic. Do you have any info about a possible international release?
Noooo! I see it’s already on Macy’s site and only a couple of items left. I had to check the calendar just to see what day it is because your post said the 3rd. :'[ Sucks man.
MAC released it a few hours after Nordstrom’s and Macy’s did. But it still might go up on the Dillards, Bloomington, or Belks websites. Just keep checking.
Anybody else notice that the copy for this collection and for the Julia Petit one both use the word “brazen?” I think someone needs to buy MAC a thesaurus (unless brazen is their theme for 2015, in which case I’m already tired of it).
I randomly checked out MAC (Canadian site) earlier this morning. I saw this Bao Bao Wan collab collection, did a little online research & decided to get a few things. I ordered the beauty powder (I saw a YouTube video that says it’s more of a highlighter because of the shimmer), the lipsticks in Forbidden Sunrise, Burmese Kiss, and Lavender Jade & the veluxe pearl eye shadow palette. I would’ve ordered the Imperial Green polish but it was sold out! Usually I’m not so impulsive… But every once in a while a dang MAC collection can pull me right in!
I like the Lavender Jade lipstick, and the nail colors. I don’t think I’ll be buying anything. This late in the day, it’s probably all gone, anyway.
If MAC announces a release at partner retailers on 3/3, why don’t they STICK TO IT??
It’s 3/2 and the entire collection is already sold out with very few exceptions. Way to go MAC, AGAIN.
Very pretty collection of colours, but nothing I can’t live without. I love seeing the spring brights!
I think I can safely skip it all.
Needing Lavender Jade in my life. Is there a way to erase my brain of this memory because I know I’ll never get it?
At this point MAC should just give Honey Boo Boo a line.
Hahaha! 🙂
Wow! surprise collection from Mac! Whaat? So, I am guessing this so consumers don’t get time to look into the products first? Hmm..wander what may lurking in that quality under the pretty packaging..I am not buying. It is pretty. it is all dupable. If I don’t have it in my stash, could find a very close dupe in less than 2o minutes in a permanent line with high quality reviews. I don’t like this sort of stuff form a company.I think it plays on the thrill of the impulse and that “OMG it’s going to be gone feeling”. I have been there and bough into it and have regretted it.Definite rant of mine from Mac. Then they put out something stunning like the collection in the next post with some notice. C’mon Mac..be reputable ..much better in the long run.
I dig the packaging.
Has anyone seen this collection on Bloomingdale’s website yet??? Where I am it is March 3 at 2:06am and I don’t see it on there…
I wanted to get Forbidden Sunrise and am so bummed to see that all lip colors are sold out 🙁
Not interested in MAC LE Collections right now. I don’t find anything different or interesting.
Ridiculously keen on the lipsticks and the beauty powder! As always I eagerly await swatches. XD
The only item that I wanted from this collection was Summer Opal and I purchased that yesterday.
I really like the packaging on this one but I’m on a no buy until I get a new job. >_< (I'm not job less but I'm down to 7 hours a week…….)
Bao Bao’s Jewels and Burmese Kiss I would have ordered.
Why did u post the Ad the day it was released Christine? There were swatches of the lipsticks and palette already on instagram and Ad photos of these. Yes I know, (or heard) that it accidentally got released last year but did Mac not want to send you any samples?
Anyways there are at least 5 mac stores in my city and one of them is a mac pro I will pick the purple one up from Mac pro Thursday as soon as the mall opens!
Morena,
I post as quickly as possible (usually within hours of receiving) – if I don’t post, I don’t have it. I only post official information, and I only received it yesterday afternoon. MAC sends me samples when they have them, but it doesn’t always occur before a launch. I am very sorry!
Thanks we it was supposed to launch Tuesday online and Thursday in stores but I got the email Monday morning stating that it was online for sale (a day early). The purple one sold out first
MAC surprised (?) everyone and launched early on Monday morning rather than their announced date. It’s not Temptalia’s fault if MAC decides to pull a fast one. I’d call your MAC store first to see if they will have the collection-some stores might not receive it.
Uhmmm… talk about HEART EYES! I have such a soft spot for jewel tones and this collection is giving me palpitations… I NEED the Imperial Green nail lacquer and ALL of the lipsticks!
I went to the counter today (in Germany), because it was released yesterday… everything was sold out O_o
Hope I can find a dupe of Forbidden Sunrise, it was the only item I really wanted 🙂
Damn, didn’t read and just scrolled down the picture and for a second I hoped that had gotten back the Plasma Blu polish. Forever hoping and looking for an exact dupe
Such an amazing and vibrant collection, Bao is so beautiful!!!!
I checked the UK site just for kicks and the eyeshadow palette and green nail polish are the only things not sold out already.
Fortunately, I didn’t want any of these!
