MAC Cham-Pale Collection
I’ve spent the past several hours photographing, swatching, cropping, and now begins the process of reviewing. Stay tuned–am trying to get through all of the reviews today. I will review Stylishly Yours separately, and those reviews will not be available until Sunday or Monday, depending on how much I’m able to get done today.

Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!
Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).
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!
We try to approve comments within 24 hours (and reply to them within 72 hours) but can sometimes get behind and appreciate your patience! 🙂 If you have general feedback, product review requests, off-topic questions, or need technical support, please contact us directly. Thank you for your patience!
So excited for this collection! I want 6 or 7 items. I’m on the fence about the nail polishes, can’t wait to see them applied.
I’m looking forward to your reviews & swatches. Right now I’m very much on the fence about this collection and your opinion and photos always play a major part on whether a product is really special and worth getting.
Thank you so much for doing this!
SOOOOO excited for this!!! Can’t wait for your findings and swatches.
oh gosh christine, you are a gem! i’m going to be out of town when this collection comes out, and EVERYTHING looks right up my alley, which i haven’t felt about a collection in a long time. there is no way i would be able to get to a mac store to check these out in person, so your swatches are going to be (and always are) a godsend!!! i’m so excited!!! 🙂
Looks amazing. 🙂 Really waiting for it!
I am so excited… 😀
Will you be doing a tutorial on this collection? It would be really nice if you did!
I’m not doing any tutorials at this time, but I’ll try to do a look or two.
Do you do a review [video] for each MAC collection that comes out?
🙂
I try to, yes. The one for Cham-Pale is coming – we don’t put it up until the reviews here on the blog are done so that we can link back to them.
Looking good. 🙂
Sooooo excited to see this!
I always love your swatches and reviews of everything and I always wait with buying something from any mac collection until you reviewed it.
aah the TLC looks pretty 😀
So excited!
YAY!!! im not being patient enough and im checking ur blog every hour…lol

OMG Christine I <333333333 U !!
I was sooooo waiting for Ur review on this collection b\c U R THE ONLY reviewer I trust
this collection is available in my local MAC counters now. Calm Mode Tinted conditioner color is so nude. I love it so much.
i bought a few on Fix+ Lavender & Tinted Conditioner to stock up. Fix+ smells 10 times better than one from A Rose Romance (Fix+ Rose)
Others are just too shimmery for me. So I skipped.
Ooooooh I am so excited for this especially the lip gelees 😀
yeeeey im suuuuper excited for this collection , i love naturals & it looks perfect for me 😀
Very excited about this collection, I want so much from it, hope they’re all as good as they look. 🙂
So excited! Can’t wait!
This photo of all the products together make it look prettier than the promo photos 🙂
Wow!! You really work so hard to make your blog great! Thank you for all you do. 🙂
YAY!!!!!!!!
so cute!
Everything looks amazing! i’m so exited for this collection!
I don’t think I’ve EVER been this excited about a MAC collection! I can’t wait for your reviews and swatches. Thank you for all of the hard work and effort you put into Temptalia. It really shows and puts your site one above the rest.
how did you get all these products before the collection launched?
Pro stores always start selling them to the public a week before the launch 🙂
I’m really excited for this collection- especially the Paint Pots and the two powders. I can only get one powder, so I’m hoping your swatches will help me decide!
I’m so excited!!! 🙂
This collection is gonna burn a hole in my wallet I can already see it!(:
I’m so excited!!! The first MAC collection of 2011… even though it does come out in December.
christine – honestly, this is by far the best makeup/beauty blog on the web. your photos are fantastic. thank you SO MUCH for the work you do. i love this website SO much.
Thanks sooooo much for always doing reviews so thoroughly, quickly, and beautifully. I can’t wait to see what you think of the Paint Pots…I trust your judgment more than any other beauty blogger’s =D
I hate the visible texture of the highlighters. *shiver* Definitely looking forward to new paint pots, reviews, swatches. Thx, Christine!
Oh!! *clutches heart* Now THAT is a gorgeous photo!
Now this is my kind of collection.
I’m spending all my christmas money on collection! I want the quad and the paint pots soooo bad!! And the “I got no kick” or w/e it’s called Eye kohl, goodness. I’m getting so giddy just thinking about it!:D
Also, I have a question. How do the lipgelees compare to lipglasses? I want to be able to like them but I don’t want to spend the money if they’re the same since I really hate the consistency of the lipglasses.
Hi Sami,
I will answer all questions in the review, please be on the look out for it! You can also check out previous reviews on lipgelees or read MAC’s website for a description.
Okay! Haha, I was so excited for this collection I wasn’t even thinking that, duh!, you would be reviewing everything…haha.
i am SO excited about this collection, even more so than venemous villains…. its about time i got all excited about MAC collecitons again 🙂
however, not loving that its out in january… that means increased VAT prices in the UK >_<
they don’t sell these online? are they only at stores?
It is available online.
It is not available online…do you know when it will be?
I have no idea – the best thing to do would be to ask MAC’s online team. I can only suggest that since it is the holidays, their team may be working odd hours or be off.
Are there Face Charts for this collection? They were not on MAC’s website…
I imagine they are still working on it!
I bought stuff from the cham pale collection in store in the UK and now stylishly yours, cham pale and mickey contractor has come online today and everything is about £1 more! Including all permanent stuff. Sucks to be in the UK right now 🙁
