OOOhhh!!!! I’m kinda excited for this collection!!!! 🙂
Looks like the packaging is matte white, but it also looks a bit silver-ish in some of the promo pics. Maybe it’s just my computer screen? Hopefully, the packaging is not just matte white, which is kinda boring. =(
I think it is matte white plastic, The silver seen if just MAC’s way of adding contrast value the the packaging against a white background.
It is white, but it’s shiny. Just normal plastic.
want. everything
Disappointing looking collection overall. And really can’t figure out how they came up with the name “Glitter and Ice” when there’s no freaking glitter in the whole collection. Bah.
I kind of agree. With the exception of the dazzleglass, nothing looks all that sparkly to me. It should have been called Pearl and Ice. Everything is more pearl than glitter. And what’s up with the nail polish…another boring red cream? Really? Hopefully the collection will be more exciting in person!
The Dazzleglasses have a lot of glitter.
Of course they do. They’re Dazzleglasses. No shiny glittery fun Holiday here though… I’m pulling out my Style Black and Magic, Mirth eyes! Cham Pale was more glitter on ice!
I think glitter comes from the figure skating theme. Johnny Weir is the main model. Figure skaters generally sparkle on the ice, but yeah it would’ve made sense to have at least a few glittery products.
this is a beautiful looking collection 🙂
I definitely see myself picking up the Snow Globe beauty powder and a dazzle glass.
Oh wow. I want everything. Doesn’t help that I’m totally in love with Johnny Weir!
I kind of have a strange obsession with the color white, so this is literally a dream come true! Both of these holiday collections look BEAUTIFUL. It’s about time MAC did a Winter collection that actually made sense… I love Scotland, but what did Tartan Tale have to do with winter? FIERCE
Im honestly really dissapointed in this collection. Pale icy colors do NOT flatter warm dark skin tones like mine. Im gonna cry cuz i really wanted to like this collection and the packaging is sooo pretty! :(!
Their winter collection cater to the more fair skin buyers. This is the first time their Holiday collection is also the winter collection.
That being said I’m disappointed in these full sized products as well. I would REALLY like MAC to produce a paler version of Painterly Paint Pot one day for peoble that are in the NC30/NW20 and less colour range to use.
I’m NW 15/20 and I use painterly pretty regularly.
I think you can make it work for you! I’m a medium olive tan complexion, and I used to think a lot of colors were off limit, but playing with them, and trying things out – you could be pleasantly surprised!
I think some of these colors would work I’m NW43-ish and I see a few things worth buying and the model on the left, her makeup is lovely and she is brown skinned:)
Love the packaging. White….so beautiful. Can’t wait to see swatches. I love glitter.
I like it! I hope this collection will be selling in Russia.
there goes my wallet.. geez MAC.. -.-
Amazing!!! ♥
Interesting. I’ll definitely check this collection out in stores. How very MAC/APPLE… goes perfectly with the white iphone 😛
I am curious about that matte red, how far will it be from the Russian Red?
Does this mean that they aren’t doing holiday gift sets like they usually do? I bought a pigment set two years ago that had the best colors ever in it, and I still use it often!
Look at the other sections. We got Metallic Crush Pigments in jars! Huge improvement over those little make you crazy bottles. The EBay $15 ” pigment charm” LMAO!!
oh I’m so excited. I’m fair skinned, dark blue eyes and naturally blond. I am so happy to have some silver! I don’t have much silver in my collection and it is my favorite winter color! Yay!
The male model looks REALLY young…
Pretty collection anyway 😀
I think the male model is the ice skater — Johnny Weir (but I could be wrong on that).
Yes, that is him 🙂
I am going to be SO broke. I need to ask for all of this as Christmas presents!
Oh my goodness…I like so many things from this color story! I rather like the white packaging, although I’m hoping it’s slightly more pearly looking than just white. Cannot wait to see swatches of this collection, although I’m sure it will be awhile yet!
Im sad, i hoped comet blue would have been in this collection. I wonder if theyll ever do it again? I bought one recently from ebay for a small fortune and lost it 🙁
I really like the beauty powder colors, can anyone tell me what’s the difference between that & just regular bronzer please?
Thanks 🙂
Okay, I think I’m in love with the white packaging, and I’m totally going to have to get something.
I’m sorta kinda excited about this collection. Probably will get some MES, lipsticks and glosses.
So excited for this collection!!! I would love to try the beauty powder in snow globe, dazzleglass in She Zam, and three of the eyeshadows! Cant wait until this comes out!!! Thanks for always keeping us posted!!
ooooh! super excited!
meh, kinda underwhelmed. the packaging is nice though!
I love anything MAC makes, their make up is absolutely flawless! It always stays on and covers well! I’ll have to add some of their stuff from their new holiday line to my Christmas list!
Are you going to swatch these?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Yes, MAC…YES! Give it to me!
Helloooooo paint pots!
I am sorry to see how tacky the whole packaging seems.They all look so hideously ugly…Like fakes!!!-lol-.But i will wait for some reviews my girl.
oh dear. i need them all.
I dig the white packaging. It looks like they’re going for a winterized space age theme with this collection, which I like. It looks pretty cool. I think they’re being very creative this year. 🙂
Totally loving the silver lipstick!
I think the packaging is simple and perfect
it lets the colors stand out well 🙂
I’ll get Spanking Rich Dazzlegass and Such Flare lipstick depending how cool it runs. I think those two would be wonderful for holiday parties.
GLAZE LIPSTICKS?! I just died!!!
Those eye shadows are UGGGGGLY!!!
Yes! I needed another Spanking Rich 🙂
must. have. paint pots.
christine, thank you so much, i just bought some products from mac fall colour collection, i didn’t know this collection was coming so soon, and this helps me to get ready for this next collection, and how much i need to save for it. it looks really gorgeous, i can not wait for the swatches.
Super excited about this! Probably going to hit the wallet hard, but it’ll be worth it.
Hi Christine, do you think we will be able to use our pro discount for this collection?
I have no idea.
I just called a MAC store today. Yes, we can use the PRO discount on everything except the brush sets, mini pigment sets, etc… EXCITED about this.
Christine,
will you have swatches/dupes/comparisons before the release date?
Usually not on special packaging.
Eh. This collection looks ok. I might look into the Paint Pots or lipsticks though
The only things I might be interested in here are the lipsticks and paint pots. I need to stop buying mineralize shadows because they always look so much prettier in the pan, and even those I like I don’t use very often.
The first Dazzleglass in the picture is not She Zam, She Zam is the second one from the left, the silvered one. 🙂
i want snow globe!! cute white packaging, get sick of black sometimes
Oh MAC. How can I not quit you??!!! So many collections. I want so much. I just can’t afford everything I want. It sucks! In the meantime, I am wishful on getting:
Lipsticks:
Whirls & Twirls Pink with pearl (Glaze) (Limited Edition)
Double Spin Lilac-pink (Cremesheen) (Limited Edition)
Eloquent Air Silver (Glaze) (Limited Edition)
What Joy! Deep berry (Satin) (Limited Edition)
Paint Pots:
For Effect Black with pearl (Limited Edition)
Let’s Skate Pale pink with pearl (Limited Edition)
And if I can afford something else, maybe one of the Beauty Powders. The one called Snow Globe.
It’s called glitter and ice because it was designed by Johny Weir, an olympic figure skater.
Sweet!!! Really love the packaging, can’t wait for the swatches!!!
All the colors seem really boring to me. Creme-finish purple? Wow, who could’ve thought of that? I do love the packaging, though. (Lord knows I need a Moonbathe revival!)
Being a fair skinned girl I am loving this. I love all the silver and gold intertwined with the colors. I am really curious about the matte lipstick “Such Flare.” And the Snow Globe beauty powder sounds interesting. Not really feeling the eyeshadows, except for maybe the Fresh Ice. Still, I can’t WAIT to see swatches of all of these!!! Will be curious to see how they play off of fair skin. As much as I love the snow bunny look I don’t want to look like the White Witch from the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.
the collection for mac’s holiday collection is quite nice but im realllyyyyy curious about mac’s halloween collection. does anyone know if mac is coming out with a halloween collection just out of curiosity aha if mac does,i hope they repromote innocence beware lipstick
Looks interesting, I kinda wish the liners had been pearlglides, I want more of those! But the packaging is simple and pretty
I <3 the packaging, the theme and the number of limited editions =] About bloody time!
loves it!!
only interested in morning frost
very exited for this collection thank god im helping my sister move around the time this collection comes out as she lives right next to mac so ill get my hands on some of this stuff like the pantpots witch im very exited about, also i love the name as im a figure skater
Oh my, I have some saving up to do.. Love so many colors already.
Yay! Whirls & Twirls and Double Spin will definitely be coming home with me. I’m curious to see the eyeliner, gloss and nail polish swatches.
This collection looks like it was made for me.
I got to see some of this collection in person today and OMG, Shimmermist is to DIE for!
are she-zam and love alert switched in the picture? because they dont fit the discription
I want “Let’s Skate” PP and Snowglobe Beauty Powder! More money down the MAC drain.. O_o
Zzzzzzz
lets skate paintpot i’m deffo buying it
Is this the official/main holiday collection for 2011????
No, they have another one coming out in late oct or november right after this! The gareth pugh collection, its suppose to have special LE packaging too..
i love the white packaging!!
A couple of the liners look interesting but thankfully nothing else catches my eye or I think I’d end up broke, haha!
love the packaging
Not crazy about the packaging… white can be tacky. The mineralize shadows, the paint pots, and liners all look promising, although, not particularly unique from MAC, besides the paint pots. I wish they would have released a new plum or berry blush!! something matte, but universally flattering! I wish they had more plum/violet blushes! The beauty powders might be a nice highlight though, I’ll have to see about the pigmentation on those. Only the plum lipstick really appeals to me out of all the lip colours. This isn’t a MUST have collection for me, I wish they would have been a bit more creative with the LE packaging, I hated the packaging on the Surf Baby collection, Wonder Woman was a little tacky, but it worked with the cartoony theme!
I think this white collection of MAC will be the best ever!!! I wait to come in Greece!!!! Do you know WHen, please ??
i’m soooo excited for this collection 😀
Can’t wait to see swatches of these.
The products look incredible, and the packaging is divine! What a great contrast to the usual MAC black.
white packaging? how not mac 🙂
♥______♥ ….can’t wait!!!!!
Yeah! I can actually save $ this season because I won’t be buying any of this! My financial advisor will not scold me.
I really like the packaging so soft and clean.
i want 2 of the lipsticks and both of the beauty powders, can’t wait for this collection to come out, can’t wait to see swatches 🙂
I want it all!! Can’t wait for this collection!
Christine, I was just invited to the private MAC event for this collection. Can you please explain to me how I got invited and what I will do when I go? Thank you!
I would call your MAC store to find out exactly what they’re doing. I couldn’t tell you why or what!
All it is, is you get to buy the stuff before anyone else can, but can’t pick it up until the day the launch comes out.
I got invited to one too. I am pretty sure its a private party that they only invite a certain number of people to. They are going to have food and drink, and at my event, Johnny Weir the skater will be there, and we will have the opportunity to buy products a day early or something.
Can’t wait to see this collection in person! The mineralize eyeshadows & the eye pencils
look beautiful! MAC did it again! 🙂
Thank you so much for posting this. Christina what is your must have from this collection? I leaning towards the paint pots and beauty powders. The white packageing is amazing! Thank you again for posting! Xoxo
Christine, My MAC just called me. This launches on the 27th of October not the 22nd, and they’re pre selling already and having an event.
So excited!! Actual colors I would wear!!
The shadows are so beautiful, they kinda remind me of the semi precious shadows. I cant wait for this to launch, i like the products, i also cant wait for your review and swatches on products before i go crazy purchasing, lol
Dang. I was hoping for some to-die-for couture packaging. Even their pigments look boring to me. Sigh. Well, my shopping list for Sephora VIB F&F is huge, so I’ll just stock up on what I need and get a few fun things.
As always, thanks for the 411, Christine. <3
My MAC counter in Canada is preselling it! I already saw and tried most of the stuff!
Wow really? What are you thoughts on the paint pots and beauty powders?
Whoa!! Want lots!!
I actually already preordered this and these prices are wrong. they raised the prices for the holidays. and its going to be released the 27th
Please read the post, it very clearly says:
THIS INFORMATION IS PRELIMINARY. OFFICIAL INFORMATION, PRICING, AVAILABILITY, ETC. WILL BE ADDED WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE. The information provided is from Beauty Insider, which is a Russian website.
I do love the Dazzleglasses! Just not the price point! Still excited nonetheless (:
wow i haven’t been excited for a mac collection in a long time!! this looks so good! i love the white packaging.
soo excited(::
Aww no mini pigment sets? Hopefully there will be some!
preorder is happening at my mac in portland, or. i picked up (preordered) morning frost paintpot (my first paintpot) and pleasure principle dazzleglass. pictures don’t do them justice! PP is an iridescent bluey/pink shimmer with lots of glitter.
I got the chance to go to the launch party last night. Some of the bag kits are nice. I do love the packaging but I get taken every time by all things shiny sparkly and above all glittery. Also the blue martini drinks may have made things dazzle more.
Whirls and Twirls looks like it could be a pretty close dupe for ‘The Faerie Glen’ from last christmas. I really hope it is, I love that lipstick!
Love this collection! Got to preview it in store today and already pre ordered one of the beige paint pots, lovely for those who LOVE shimmery, glittery makeup. Favourite collection since Hello Kitty!
Please please swatch these!!
Love, Love, Love the collection!!! Great colours!
I really, really want the Let’s Skate Paint Pot and the Double Spin Lipstick!!!!!
Love this collection 😀 MAC never fails to impress me, looking forward to making a purchase xo
