i pretty much want everything.
Better start saving now, Grace 😀
I think I can pretty much skip these seeing as a lot of them are perm or pro items.
Hi Winnie,
That’s what I’m saying! It’ll give me more money for the other fall launches.
I don’t have any of the colors in the palette (a have dupes of a couple though) so I’m all over that. and I heard the packaging is gonna be the bomb. I can pass on the rest of it, but that palette will be mine!
Hi HeavenLeiBlu,
I’ve heard the same about the packaging, but hopefully I can resist it, lol!
Goin’ Bananas is so pretty, so I’m glad they’re repromoting it for those who missed out. Too bad it’s in a palette, though.
I would be gettting the palette, but I just bought electric eel, and I do nothing with it. They almost had me 🙂
Hi Dee,
You escaped unscathed 😀
Ugh.. I’m dying for Going Bananas, but I have almost all the other colors in the pallete!
Hi Kristen,
Have you tried Bright Sunsine (PRO) instead?
Oh wow. this way I can finally get Deep Truth, Bitter AND Going Bananas, all together, plus other fun things. yay!
I didn’t know Manish Arora was a name. I thought people were misspelling “Mannish Aurora” and it was going to be androgyny-themed masculine makeup, lol.
Hi Carrie,
I’m glad this palette works for you 🙂
LOL, yes, apparently it is a designer line. I kept typing Aurora myself.
Hi Carrie – he’s a prominent designer from India whose known for bright, vibrant colors in his clothing lines. I’m hoping the packaging reflects his designs!
I never heard of him either until I recently got a new pair of glasses, that are black on the outside, lined with a fuschia-ish purple and have hearts cut out of the metal temples. they are gorgeous, and also the eyeglass case is in the shape of an extruded heart, which leaves me on edge about how cute this packaging will be, though I doubt I would use any of these colors.
OHHHH this sounds really fun 🙂 I bet the packaging will be super duper spiff and that the whole bit will be sold out really quickly. All the girly girls with darker skin tones will likely look smashing in all these colors. If the packaging is as cool as I hear it will be…I might get a lippie or two.
Hi Tanya,
I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a completely accurate assessment of the launch!
Ok I have to buy that palette. 4 of the 6 I’ve been dying to get. Just haven’t had the funds. And I’m excited going bananas is in there I didn’t get it from c-shock!
Hi Ashlee,
Hey, four out of six? That totally makes it worth it then ;D
*perks up like a beagle who sees a slice of pizza on the table*
GOING BANNANAS?
Curse you MAC for putting it in a pallet! I’ve been lemming that shade for the last year. But I already have Bitter, Deep Truth and Nylon *groans*. Flack! I’ll only forgive them IF the packaging is amazing. Must have Going Bannanas….
Hi Tekoa,
Have you tried Bright Sunshine (PRO)? So close to it 🙂
Alas, no Pro store within 1000 clicks of me. I’ll try the phone ordering when I get some extra money ( at the rate MAC releases collections…HA!).
Hi Tekoa,
LOL! What I do is save up items I want, then call PRO. And NYC usually has launches a week early, so I call them and get the latest launch with it 🙂
I want Going Bananas and Pink Swoon! Is Pink Swoon from another previous collection?
I believe pink swoon is a permanent color.
Hi Miss QQ,
Nope, Pink Swoon is an existing blush color!
The only colour I have from the palette is Bitter & my Nylon is almost gone, so I think the palette will be good for me!
Awesome to hear! Glad it’ll work out for you!
This is limited release. 🙁
MUST HAVE PALETE MUST HAVE PALETTE MUST HAVE PALETTE
pleassseeee mac gods, please, let the palette have gorgeus special packaging!!!;D
Hi Tanya from Oz,
I’m pretty sure it will have special packaging!
Yeah another colection I can ignore completely. My purse and account are happy.
me too. I’m passing on this one
Ditto!
I’m so bummed that the palette is all perm or repromotes. They could have done something really fun with LE colors! I am interested to see the packaging though & I love the sound of Pink Manish l/g. Also, maybe this will be my chance to grab Devil blush 🙂
Hi Ariele,
Oh, I agree. I wonder what’s up with all the repromotes.
I have every single color in that pallet except Going Bananas which I REALLY WANT!!! Do I get the whole thing just for that one color?? Grrrrr….I think I’ll be forced to pass. It’s just not worth it. Damn those pallets! Oh well…I got all the MES’s and 7/9 of the Mineralize blushes, so my money needs to recover 🙂
Hi Heather,
If you can get it, Bright Sunshine (PRO) is very similar!
Pro store and online only, right? :\ It’ll sell out in minutes.
Er – no. It’s full of repromotes! I for one am going to pass on it regardless of the packaging. Anyway – the Red She Said holiday collection packaging sounds far more glamorous!! 🙂
I’ll probably skip a lot of it, too, Shar!
Ok, I feel better now. Lol.
Not sure yet, but probably!
Ooh Christine great info, thanks! *jumping in joy* for the re-release of going bananas (the only color I missed out on c-shock). All these repromotes this fall and winter are a bummer, esp the cult of cherry quads.
Hi Steph,
No problem, happy to share the wealth of info 🙂
Um yea, so I will be passing on this collection. Thank God!
hi im totally geting the palette!! and the lip stick (wich one should i get?)tessa:)
I just love the packaging! I must get the e/s because I don’t have those colors yet and they were on my list anyway. I’m a real sucker for gorgeous packaging though.
Will they release this at Canada?
This has just been released her in Dubai.
& I must say the packaging is so funky & has this like henna (kindda) design on it. So lovely.
I didnt get the palette since I have ALL colors. I was tempted though to get it because of the very cute packaging.
I got all two blushes, two l/g, & one l/s(kiss manish) since I have the girl about town l/s.
Lucky 😉 I have no idea when it releases here…
