Paint pots, finally! I need to start saving 🙂
PAINT POTS (: AND LIPSTICKS! With all the new nice colletions, my wallet hates me.
Yes, I totally agree! I have to so start saving up now to buy all the things I want from the upcoming collections. My mouth is drooling over the idea of new lipsticks and paint pots!! <3
Ditto!! I need all eight of those. (Yes, -=need=-.)
So many new paint pots!!!
I can’t wait for the new mattene lipsticks! They are TDF!!!
PAINT POTS! Woooooooh!!! 😀
The paint pots sound exciting, particularly Genuine Treasure. If it looks anything like reflects antique gold pigment that I am dying to get my hands on, I’m all over it.
This sounds awesome! Are the mattene lipsticks a new formula? Or are they something MAC is bringing back. If they are not new, do you have any experience with them Christine?
I don’t know if they changed the formula of Mattenes or not, but they have come out before. I believe most recently they were in Style Black. They’re matte lipsticks.
OMG, PAINT POTS!!! WHHEEEEEE!!!!!
Ooooh, paint posts! Those will sell out quick!
*SCREAMS*
Will they never release new CREAM shades of paint pots?!? Enough with the frosts, already!
MAC, why can’t I quit you???
Um, sorry about that. I feel better now. 🙂
Exactly….creams are my favourite and they’re so versatile!
I suppose the contrast of shimmery eyes and matte lips is what MAC is going for with this collection but I totally agree that we need more cream paint pots!
That’s a good point, actually. Having gone back and read the concept, I think you’re right.
To be honest, I didn’t even look at the collection — I just saw “Paint pot” and checked the list for creams. And then rolled my head back, wailing “KAAAAAAAHNNNN!!”
These actually sound nice (hopefully they are pigmented). It’s just that, between Champale and the Big Bounce fiasco, I’ve been getting restless for more cream paint pots. But they aren’t really a flashy L.E. item; I think they’d fit better in the permanent collection (Painterly and Soft Ochre are among my most frequently used makeup items; I just need MOAR!). Now, if only MAC asked me… 🙂
You are so hilarious! I love the “KAAAAAAAHNNNN!!” comment. Got your point immediately! 🙂
I also agree enough of the tacky frost! Ugh!!!
I was disappointed too to see no cream paint pots…in bright colors too!
Damn…
I could need a CP for the paint pots. A PP here in Denmark is 30$.. 🙁
I own every single PP ever released so I NEEEEEEED these… *cries*
Yay for paint pots!!
YES!!!! Finally new paint pots 🙂
Ooooo I am excited for fall collections to come out now
Mac needs to stop releasing collections that I need to buy!
Hooray!!!!! More paint pots…lots more!!!!
I love PP but only cream formulas (like painterly & girl friendly) because they work great on my super oily lids (up to 6 hours ) frosts not that much =( but I never tried a Mattene lipstick & I cant wait for U to review them .. Thanks Christine
Yay!New Paint Pots
My poor wallet…
**Pats back.** I know how you feel. 🙂
I love paint pots!
Oh man, MAC is really killing me with all the purple lipsticks lately… 😀
I’m sooo getting Rare Exotic & Fresh Amour..<3
YAY!!! new paint pots!!!!
I agree–the thought of new paint pots is AWESOME!
OMG MAC! my wallet is crying!!
PAINT POTS!!!
I was just thinking last night about how they needed to launch a collection that had some paint pots that weren’t neutral colors. Kinda wish that they weren’t all frosts though.
PAINT POTS YAY!! Getting them all for sure!
Ok…there’s actually no way I’ll be able to afford all the Paint Pots so I’ll have to narrow it down, especially as I quite like Mattenes too, and there are so many other collections to consider! At the moment I’m thinking I’ll definitely get Half-Wild, Hyperviolet, Genuine Treasure, Pure Creation and Imaginary. Maybe Treasure Hunt too. I’m pretty sure I already have coppery and peachy Paint Pots so I can probably skip those two.
I have been waiting for new Paint Pots for AGES – especially purple ones, so I really hope MAC doesn’t disappoint with these. The Cham-pale ones were pretty poor 🙁
Paaaaiiiint Pots!!!!! 🙂
OMG. I feel like I’m dreaming! MAC overload on Temptalia’s site today. LOL!
Sept is my birthday month. I never tell anyone what I want for my birthday but this year I’m telling any and everyone I know that I want a MAC gift card. LOL!!
Yay paint pots!!! Can’t wait!!!
NEW PAINTPOTS!?
ahhhhhhhhhh YAY! 🙂
Ooohhh new paint pots!!! *dances a jig*
oh, I had imagined some cream p/p, too, not only frosts. I guess I will try to see how the ProLong-Wear Satins are turning out, maybe those will be better for me. Same as other commenters, the satin p/p are great bases and stick like glue, but the shimmery ones are a creasing mess (only personal opinion, of course). I could not work with Bare Study, for example and sold it, but the Coral p/p from a summer LE (no idea why I bought this, as I am PPP but I guess I was adventurous) is a great base for dark eyeshadows and stays on forever.
Oh yeah! I’m dying to try a mattene! And new paint pots!
OMG OMG OMG OMG! This is a dream collection!
Paint Pots – MUST HAVE:
Nubile Light peachy nude (Frost)
Idyllic Mid-tone copper bronze (Frost)
Genuine Treasure Reflects antique gold (Frost)
Yeah…I like neutrals…but YAY! PAINT POTS!
New mattenes AND new paint pots?? Pinch me.
YES! FINALLY paint pots!
These paint pots sounds amazing! Too bad they just don’t work for me, no matter what I do, they always crease. Oh well, my wallet doesn’t mind 😉
that’s a LOT of paint pots!
YAY mattenes! my favourite lipstick!
Not paint pots! I usually have to buy all of them.
I remember first hearing about MAC…. maybe 4 years ago? But it would still be a few years before I actually bought from them. I remember going on youtube and just dreaming about being able to affored it someday. Anyway I basically became obsessed with Mattene lipsticks but they discontinued them! So now I can fineally fulfill my fantasy. It would seriously be a dream come true if MAC decided to re-release old collections (like neo sci-fi or heatherette….)!!!! I also bought a paint pot and it seriously made my eyeshadow last like 20 hours (until I washed it off) so I am excited for those too!
Oh Holy Mother of MAC collections. The Fall is going to break the bank. I’m not complaining. I am in total MAC Heaven right now. I will be getting a bunch of stuff from all the upcoming collections. I need to make time & make a wish list because it’s too many to remember. 🙂
wtf is with all these MACcollections?!?!?!?!?!!
PAINT POTS?!?!?!?! YESSSSSS!!!!!!
I’m so happy that Paint Pots are being released with this collection! I love how smoothly they apply and how long they last. I’m probably going to snatch up a few of these, especially the colored ones.
OMG!!!! Paint Pots!!! (now I will just have to cross my fingers that they do not have the same finish as the ones from Champale!)
PAINT POTS!!!!!!!!!!!
ooh paint pots! yes sir! i think i want them all! 🙂 hehe
oooohhh, new Paint pots! Love it!!!!!!!!!!
This collection sounds interesting. Definately want nubile pp & naked bliss l/s & rare exotic l/s. What do you girls like?
Paint pots whoopeeee…ok MAC u are working u’r way closer to being forgiven for my Jealousy Awakes online shopping debacle 😉
I’d like to see a green Paint Pot, something like Moss Scape which I never got to try.
I know right?
I was thinking the same thing!
Paint Pots? Color me excited.
Thanks for the heads-up. I’ll start saving for all of the fall MAC buying.
What is the finish for a Mattene lipstick like? Is it like a matte/dryer look? 🙂
OH I’m excited for the paint pots! I’ve been really into cream shadows and I wanna stock up!
finally violet paintpots. ive been waiting for this for a LONG time.
GASP! Purple paint pots!
Paint pots!!!!! I can’t wait; but I thought Paint Pots were August…
i’ll be getting all the paintpots i collect them 🙂
ahhhhh i’m so excited for those paint pots!
Oh geeze! Paint pots!!! I love em all! Too bad there is no green one. I would love if they came out with a color similar to humid e/s.
I want all 8 paint pots! I am so excited for new and bolder colors!
10 days before my birthday
i guess i know what im buying myself for my bday
been waiting for some new paint pots!!! <3
Well let’s see when the Cham Pale Collection came out last year in December I got half of the collection including all 4 of the paint pots. And now that Mac is coming out with a new collection for the fall I see myself getting all 8 of the paint pots and 3 of the lipsticks, but however it would be nice if they can come out with some cream paint pots instead of it being all frost.
I can’t wait to see the swatches and pics so I can weed some of these out, because right now I want it all (especially the paint pots)
How exactly do u use a paint pot? is it just a cream shadow???
Yes, it’s a cream shadow and / or eyeshadow base. If you use a nude one as a base, it will not affect your eyeshadow color, but if you use a frost/glitter type, it will enhance or dominate your eyeshadow color (depending on what you use). They’re pretty versatile. 🙂
OMG Paint Pots! And a blue paint pot! I’ve been waiting for one! (wasn’t really into makeup when the blue one was released years ago) I love the frost-types! So many to choose from. I can’t wait. Thanks for this info!
Girls I think you will be pleased with the paintpots, just today I’ve been to Update and although the paintpots says frost, I can tell you most of them are not frosty. The only ones I saw with real sparkly shimmer to them were Treasure hunt and Genuine treasure. All of the rest were more creamy with maybe a slight sheen (think quite natural or groundwork). PS: the mattene lipsticks are TO DIE FOR! 🙂
PAINTPOTS!!! EXACTLY what I’ve been wishing for in a MAC collection<3 Can not wait for pictures!!!!:D
I love paint pots. My paint pots last me about 3 years, if not more. Do you think they’re still good? They haven’t separated nor do they smell. I wonder how long they can actually last. Any idea?
Looking forward to this collection!!! I just hope the color descriptions are more accurate than in MMO.
8 paint pots? WOW!!! My wallet is going to hate me…but they will be mine! 🙂 I love Paint Pots!
I’m so exciting to discover new paint pots !!!! I can’t wait !
i cant wait for the paint pots!
I’m more excited about the paintpots in this collection. I can’t wait to get them…
Since MAC has put paint pots and eyeshadows a dollar more on their website I won’t be getting as much from this collection as I planned.
When will pictures for this collection become available?
Well I had my mind set on getting Runaway red from the Make-me-over collection to be my Fall red lippie. However “Legendary” sounds like it could be more my speed being a ‘brick red’ shade. So I’m going to hold out and wait for this collection as these lippies sound pretty promising to this lipstick lover.
Paint pots! I want Nubile so bad D:
LOVE Paint Pots, so I’ll likely be purchasing some/most/all of them. Christine, were the Mattene’s released in a previous LE collection? I feel like I’ve heard of them before.
The formula yes, these shades, no.
I can’t wait for this collection. About time MAC has new paint pots! 🙂
Delicious, I can’t wait!
I’m so psyched about this collectio. I’ve wanted Potent Fig since I’ve heard about the color description. Now that I have a picture, I may get two of them. Here’s my list so far. I have never tried a mattene before, but have heard wonderful things about them. I will also try my first paint pot with this collection. Thinking about Half-Wild.
Potent Fig Deep blue grape
Deliciously Foribbden Mid-tone berry
Fresh Amour Light lavender
Rare Exotic Bright mid-tone blue pink
I have been waiting for new paint pots! YAAAAA!
Why are there great collections when I won’t be able to afford them?! Ugh!
Loving some of the paint pots – they’ve needed more colours for some time (though I’d like to see something more like Green Stroke). I just bought 2 lippies today and want to get Oh, Oh, Oh when it’s released so I may pass on these lipsticks.
Ahhhh…now this was the collection I was waiting for!! Paint pots galore, lots of lovely new toys!! (I think I need all of them.)
Matt lipsticks , can’t wait for the swatches..
I’m not suddenly thrilled by anything I’m seeing, but I’ll certainly check it out. Might find something good for daywear or a nice shadow base in the paint pots.
wish list- Rare exotic, eden rouge, potent fig, half wild, hypervioler, pure creation, imaginary
I’m relieved that paint pots don’t work for me (at all!), or else this collection would cost me a fortune.
I may have to indulge in a couple of mattenes though 😉
i don’t own any mac paint pots
i see that’s going to change!
i want them all
Deliciously Forbidden is my lippie of choice.
stocking up on the paint pots!
can’t wait!
I just passed out at the sight of all of those paint pots!!!!
wow the paint pots & polishes have me excited!!! thanks for the sneak peek!
oh, the blue NP and paintpots are so pretty!!
I was going to buy a couple of the matte lipsticks from NARS but now thinking wait for these guys?? I looove the polishes too! Very pretty. Must have Treasure Hunt…very cool!
*GASP! Mattene Lipsticks! I’ve been waiting since forever for them to be released! YAY!!
I like the polishes, but the lippies and paint pots are too “arty” for my boring make-up tastes.
finally– MAC put out something I must have (more than one)
PAINT POTS ! >.<
Half Wild and Pure Creation Paint Pots are calling my name!!
And my wallet already hates me now..
Two words: PAINT POTS! (jumping up and down)
Paint Pots! I am looking for some darker shade cream shadows. Think the darker shade PP would be perfect.
Love Treaure Hunt!
I know everyone is excited for paint pots but if that model is wearing potent fig, I MUST have that.
Same here Courtney. Must have potent fig lipstick. Maybe two of them.
Mmmm the paint pots look great, no words for the lipsticks, but… what’s up with the nail lacquers??? only 2???
This is by far my favorite MAC launch of the fall. Love everything in it.
The lipsticks look nice. I’m not familiar with the Mattene formula so that will be fun to try. I’ll be looking at Deliciously Forbidden, Legendary, and Seeds of Desire if it’s more plum than brown. I’m not going to go too crazy for MAC Me Over now.
OMG THE PAINT POTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Paint Pots look great, but I’ve had bad luck with Paint Pots in the past. I believe I have 4 of them all together, and 3 dried out right away. I’d barely even used them. Has anyone else had that experience, or does anyone have any tips for dry Paint Pots?
I seen some have them upside down or in some little storage holders to put them in. I just keep mines in the box, make sure cap is tight and put it down.
PAINT POTS PAINT POTS PAINT POTS!!!!!!! I NEED THEM ALLLLL $_$
Oooh those paint pots are going to be trouble for my wallet
Oh the paint pots, yeah.
All of them! I want all of them!
Thanks, Christine!
Rain of Flowers and the Paint Pots are amazing! 🙂
The nail polishes look cute.
with all these collections coming out in the fall, i’m gonna be broke! haha, but it’s worth it! 🙂
paint pots!! YAY!
i like that grape blue lipstick 😀 but the model’s eye make-up is ugly :/
I’m am soo buying rare exotic lipstick
Dammmn some of those lipsticks have crazy crazy colors 😀
I nearly died when I heard they were releasing new Mattenes.. it’s my favourite finish ever! I hope the formula is still the same.. <3
I will buy all of this collection.
I feel like I’ve waited forever for MAC to bring back mattene lipsticks! Very excited. I’m getting that brick red! I think the darker paint pots will look nice as frosts – the lighter ones may apply too frosty. Can’t wait for swatches!
PAINT POTS!! I want them all!
Also Rain of Flowers has to be one of my all-time favorite nail polishes, so it’s great that they’re repromoting it!
This will definitely be a home run for MAC and definitely one of the best Fall collections, as both are very loved products that haven’t had new shades released in awhile :)Now let’s just hope they don’t have too many duds.
I’m liking the looks of Naked Bliss, Rare Exotic, and Deliciously Forbidden for the Mattenes. And I like the looks of Half-wild, Hyperviolet, Nubile, and Genuine Treasure for the paint pots. I’m so glad they’re releasing purple paint pots, but I wish they had thrown in a green paint pot as well! I love the blue and yellow one as well, but I just don’t see myself getting a lot of use out of them. But OMG, I just love the names of the products! As an art student that has had way too many art history classes, they remind me of Hieronymus Bosch’s “Garden of Earthly Delights,” although they also have a general Garden of Eden theme too.
It’s totally random but seeing this make me lemming GA ETK. Christine do you know if and when GA is coming out with cream shades in that formula?
I haven’t heard anything – definitely nothing slated for the fall launch. Maybe Holiday? I believe they originally launched 3 shades during Holiday 2010.
Mattenes are back! YAY!
I need those paint pots!!!!!!!!
Paint Pots!!! Obviously I need these, but how can I afford all this? Does anyone need a kidney? I’ve got a couple, bin, bnib.
Okay, seriously, MAC just needs to slow down. Their colors are waaay too much fun!! I already have 4 paint pots and don’t need more but MAC somehow makes these incredible shades that just beckon me to come and play…
I have always wanted to try a MAC Mattene. Fresh Amour looks exceptionally pretty.
aaahhhhhh Paint Pots!!! at last =) SO EXCITED!
I love how batsh-t we all are for the paint pots. Cannot wait to see the purple ones.
I’m so so so in love with this collection!!!
Oooh, I finally get to try out the mattene lipstick formula. Gonna try the Fresh Amour and Naked Bliss, that is if they look as lovely in person as they do in these photos.
Paint Pots!!!! Yay, they are one of my fav mac products, and loving the lipsticks too. Looks like a really nice collection! Fingers-crossed 🙂
Ohhhhh, NEW MATTENES!
With these plus everything I’ve seen from MAC for this fall, I guess I’ll be looking terribly glamorous- but BROKE – by New Year’s. And there’s so much more between now and then! :- o
Can’t wait to see the swatches and recommandations for this one!!! 🙂
Paint Pots are my absolute favorite MAC product next to Fluidline. I layer them under shadow, over shadow.. LOOK at these colors!!! I’m drooling!!!
marked my calender, thank you for the heads up!
I can’t wait to get all 8 paint pots!!!!
I’m getting all of the paint pots, the nail polishes and 3 lipsticks. I’m excited I can’t wait.
I plan to get the paint pots and the “Rain of Flowers” nail polish. 🙂
Hey christine do you know what shade the model in the promo pic is wearing is it potent fig or deliciously forbidden?
I have no idea, sorry!
OMG! I need to see swatches. I am loving everything. I want about five of the mattenes and three or four of the paintpots…I have never even used a paint pot. Is it just for the eyes or can it be used on lips & cheeks? Any idea when the swatches will start to pop up???
I’m so excited for the paintpots that I’m seriously thinking of scrimping on MAC Me Over so that I can buy MORE from Posh Paradise.
I want swatches! When will we be getting swatches? It’s two weeks away and I am planning on splurging on this whole collection.
Also wondering when we will start to find out about the Glitter & Ice, Gareth Pugh collections as well as the other new upcoming collections that will be released????
I CANNOT wait for the this to come out, but the swatches will show me how much I’m going to fork over for this. The Cindy Sherman collection could leave me broke too.
I’m wondering when we will be seeing swatches from this collection? This is the one collection I’ve been really looking forward to. I have been hearing that it may be delayed due to a problem concerning the Mac x Cindy Shelton collection legal issues. Even though I don’t know what one really has to do with the other plus I don’t know who CindySHelton is I just want the make-up. Have you heard anything Cristine?
I don’t have anything at this time. Please understand that I always swatch as soon as I can – as in I literally drop everything, do not eat, etc. until it’s done. If I don’t have it up, I don’t have it, and I either buy it or get surprised with samples – I never know if/what is coming. MAC does not notify bloggers they’ve sent samples, what they’ve sent, and there is never a guarantee they will send. I post information as soon as I get it and always update a post if I have additional information. If it isn’t in the post, I don’t have it. I’m sorry, but this is all I have at this time!
Many thanks Christine. I do appreciate everything you do for us makeup-aholics <3
I’m waitting I hope I cant get all the paint pot love it
these paint pots would be great bases for the style driven eyeshadows…can’t wait to try most of these!!
are mac not giving samples on this collection Christine??
is that odd i thought you always got some products from each and every collection….
thats a BIG mistake on their behalf because you are my enabler!!! 🙂
I don’t get any notification if/when samples are sent. Just six months ago, MAC would send samples, but they would arrive 2-3 weeks after the collection debuted. It is not unusual to not receive samples prior to the launch date. It has only been recently that they have sent prior to the launch date.
well I am sending MAC an email stating that all my purchases are based around your website and clear concise shots 🙂
the work you put in is truly amazing!!
LOL! 🙂
When will you post swatches of these LE paint pots? I love the promo pics but it’s sometimes a hit or miss with frosts. Thanks so much.
– Mabeline
Dear Christine,
I was just wondering since the release date is the 15th, I heard that mac pro stores release these collections a week before department stores so do you think it will be out before the 15th? Thank you
Wow! This collection is already online! I don’t know if it’s because I’m a MAC Pro member or what lol
i’m super excited for the new paint pots! the colors look awesome!
This collection is now up at Nordstrom and MAC
Just ordered Nubile and Genuine Treasure. Use the code POSH for faster free shipping!
Seriously?! Some are sold out already gosh Mac. I was hoping they would bring the out of stock fluidline back. How much do they make for things to run out so fast It’s getting silly now.
Half wild is GORGEOUS. I usually stcik to neutrals when it comes to eye, but I cant wait for swatches!
I’m glad that they have more paint pots just wish they would me the bright fun colors permanent.
This collection is now up online at MAC UK! 🙂
