I like Glam and Hoop
I think they’re nice, easy-to-wear shades!
Pink Poodle looks lovely! Is there an expected release date on these?
Eyeshadows are April 3rd, lipsticks are April 1st.
Are they only going to be available through MAC’s website, or will they show up in stores as well?
Online only as far as I know!
Sorry, I saw this on your other post after I’d already asked the question – doh!
April’s fool. Sure you not kidding us?
Yup, they split the dates!
Lovely shades…I am surely going to grab Mac hoop pretty soon…:-)
Enjoy it!
Definitely getting Hoop. It’s gorgeous! And I’ve been wanting Betty Bright since I missed out on it and it looks pretty close!
Definitely similar! 🙂
I LOVE Hoop on you! It looks like pink, fluffy, heeled slippers! There are a number of warm pinks that I adore and would even wear myself for fun but on my uber cool skin I look sick when I do. Not sick’ning… just ill. LOL! Still so pretty tho! Do you have colors you love but don’t like the way they look when you have them on?
Do I EVER! I don’t like really pale, light shades in general, whether it’s beige or pink… I can like a cool, light pink on me BUT it has to be paired with a very dramatic eye for me to like it.
Pink poodle is beautiful if these are out in the UK now I will be buying this at the airport.
Online only 🙁
Oh noes 🙁
its online on the uk website doll 🙂
Lovely colors!
How does Pink Poodle compare to Show Orchid? On the picture it looks very similar…
Show Orchid is purpler with more iridescence!
Hoop is really lovely. It reminds me a little bit of Lancôme “Love it!” which is a favorite of mine
Might have to check out Lancome’s!
I love all three! I’ve got to get my hands on these! 😀
Have fun with ’em!
Wow! I’m a sucker for reds like that! And it’s beautiful on you!
Thank you!
As always, everything looks lovely on you! These are definitely quite tempting and I’ll have to make sure to go check them out 🙂
Thanks, Rosie!
Well shoot, I kinda want all three! Hoop is a must for sure.
Uh oh!
I WANT EAGER WHY IT DOESNT COME BACK?
Aww!
MAC DISAPPOINT ME I LOVED EAGER SO MUCH AND THEY DONT MAKE SHADES LIKE THIS ONE AND IT WAS LUSTRE TOO
Glam and Pink Poodle are gorgeous!
Agreed!
I have heard so much about Pink Poodle and it looks beautiful on you! I am so excited to see these shades in stores.
Thanks, Abby! Online only 🙁
I’m so disappointed that these are always online only collections! Stuff online always sells out so fast and majority of us don’t get the oppertunity to pick anything up!
Hopefully they made a lot of stock!
Glam and Poodle are amazing!
They’re nice!
I love Pink Poodle – both for the name and color.
Not at all surprising 😀
Hi Christine , was wondering if the prices of mac lipsticks went up since I saw them online for $16.00 now … Not these but permanent ones. I also went into a mac counter to return some back 2 mac and my receipt said i saved $16.00. Anyways hoop and pink poodle look tempting to buy.
They’re $16 now!
i love the color of pink poodle, but not the “glaze” finish.
Not a huge fan of glazes either!
The swatch gallery info has it listed as a frost? Just wondering if it is…
Hi Marilyn,
MAC has their own finish descriptions, but what I use in the Swatch Gallery is our own finishes – they don’t always correspond with MAC (e.g. we don’t have “Glaze” or “Amplified”). Per MAC, Pink Poodle has a “Glaze” finish.
Yay! Thanks for the clarification, I really don’t like MACs “frost” finish so I’m excited about this one being a glaze!! ☺️
Woop woop for Hoop, I really like that one!
Haha! 😉
None of these for me… I’m a redhead with a very warm skin tone and pinks and pinky reds don’t look good on me. I need corals, oranges and orangy reds.
Aww!
I know… Bummer.
Alibi would be a perfect release. They discontinued it a long time ago, and it was one of the most perfect colors MAC ever came up with, even if the finish was a satin and a little drying.
I still wish they release it someday.
Pink Poodle is pretty but not enough for me to purchase it, feel me??
Gotcha!
These are all really lovely shades! So wearable, and they all look fantastic on you, Christine! I like how they all look very creamy, too.
Thank you, Sylirael! 😀
Glam looks hard to say no to.
I own 6 lipsticks, one red.
Will glam be lucky number 7? …. hmm I will ruminate on this….
Let me know if it ends up being lucky number 7!
Oh my God, u own 6 lipsticks??? I own above hundred and none of them drugstore and still want more 🙁
When will this collection be available to purchase in the UK? I can never seem to keep up with the collections but I NEED to get my hands on hoop and I dont want to miss out!
Great review/swatches as always x
Yes, it should be!
Loving Hoop! Are these LE Christine?
Yes, they’re LE.
Definitely wanna get hoop, are these LE??
Yes, these are LE.
Glam is gorgeous!
It is!
Wow, I just love the colors of Hoop and Pink Poodle!! Glam is pretty hot too. ^.^
They’re very pretty!
These are pretty colors. They will be gone once released.
And still 15 dollars, not the new mac prices.
They’ll probably be at the current price ($16)!
It says 15 dollars on the promo. See you previous write up.
I edited to reflect the current price! 🙂
Glam and Pink Poodle are mine!!! I like Hoop on you, but afraid it might be a bit warm-toned for me.
Two out of three ain’t bad 😉
I love them all! I’m definetly going to get Hoop and Pink Poodle. I wish I could pull off glam but its too coraly for me i think i would look like a clown):
Aww, sorry to hear that about Glam! I’m so surprised – it’s so blue-based!
I know, it looks like it would be too clownish on me ): and since i cant try it on in stores im just gonna skip that one
If they truly wanted a 90’s comeback, they should have marked these with 90’s prices haha!
I love the first two, but i already own both Ronnie red and Betty bright so it’s a pass for me
Haha!
DEFINITELY want Hoop, but Glam is gorgeous too….not usually that big of a fan of reds, but I like the pinkish tone to it. Hopefully I can get my hands on them!
Fingers crossed you can, Shana!
I expected to want all of these but I don’t think I do. Which is fine, I’m sure there’s plenty more coming up I want.
With MAC, that is a definite given, lol!
I love Hoop!
Great shade for summer!
MAc hoop looks lovelyy..
It’s a fun shade of pink!
I need Hoop and Pink Poodle ^.^
Nice picks, Rissa! 😀
Do you know how Pink Poodle compares to Show Orchid? Wondering if it’s worth having both.
Show Orchid is more frosted, iridescent, and purpler!
wowwww i never thought i would want a pink lipstick like pink poodle! that blue/violet shimmery finish looks amazing. hoop looks gorgeous too!
They’re both pretty!
How would you compare Hoop to Please Me? Thanks Christine!
Hoop is warmer!
Hoop is definitely a winner for me! Thank you so much for swatching!
No problem, Maurissa!
How does Glam compare to Urban Decay 69 lipstick?
69 isn’t as cool-toned or as pink!
I got Hoop and Pink Poodle. Hard to tell if I will like them on me, I prefer to try them on in the store, but your swatches and review were really helpful. Thank you!
Hope you love ’em both, Meghan!
How does Hoop compare to Mac’s Chatterbox? Is it worth having both?
I think Hoop is a bit warmer and lighter than Chatterbox. You could probably get away with both!
I ordered Hoop and Glam, and I have very high hopes for Hoop! I’m quite surprised they haven’t sold out yet (about 3:30pm EST)! I Love Hoop on you, Christine! <3
Maybe they finally made enough!
Hi Christine! does Glam lipstick compare to red racer lipstick?Thanks
It is cooler-toned, darker!
How does hoop compare to MAC pink nouveau? How does pink poodle compare to MAC Show orchid.
Hi Kelsie!
Pink Nouveau is much, much bluer based – it is very cool-toned! Show Orchid is purpler, more iridescent.
How does Hoop compare to viva glam Nicki?
Hoop is more muted, yellower, lighter. http://www.temptalia.com/mac-viva-glam-nicki-ricky-review-photos-swatches
Hows Hoop compared to Pink Nouveau ? I really like it in you but not sure if it would be to pale on me.
Pink Nouveau is much, much cooler toned!
Aw, man. I skipped out on Glam, because I thought I had enough reds, but I might have to purchase that one as well 🙂
Uh oh 😉
Got my pink poodle yesterday and love it, I love the formula, it’s moisturizing and the color is very vivid and bright on my nc40 skin tone. though I wasn’t feeling god yesterday and I was stuck at home, I decided to wear it all day which brightened up my spirit. 🙂
That’s awesome, Nichole! So thrilled to hear it’s working well for you and helped to brighten your day 🙂
Hi Christine !
Is Glam Similar To Riri Woo?
Glam is pinker!
I received Hoop today, and I’m sooo disappointed…it’s almost exactly the same as MAC’s Please Me and Chatterbox.
Wow! I can’t believe they look the same on you. I’m wondering what your natural lip color is like. All three are pretty distinct pinks on me!
It’s not too pale or too pigmented..kind of in the middle. Yeah, I’m so sad. 🙁
