My “problem” (lol) is that I have SOOOO much MAC alreadyā€”especially lipsticksā€”there’s nothing here that I really need or want. The pretty little bags are nice, but I have a huge collection of makeup bags already. So I guess I’ll pass.

But wouldnā€™t the 12 mini lipsticks set make a great gift for someone?

MoMerrell Avatar

$69.50 is a bit high for the mini lipstick kit. $50 tops for that many mini’s. I like the lipgloss sets, those are cute and appropriately priced. While I am not a big MAC fan, I’d prefer buying minis from them since they get the less use so I may pick up at mini kit for trial.

The other stuff I don’t use but it’s all cute packaging.

MoMerrell Avatar

AHH SEE I’ve never purchased minis or knew they permanently sold them for $10. That’s a bit of a price when for just $7 more you can get a full size. With that in mind then this would be a good price if I thought their lipsticks were great enough to be this price and I don’t lol. BUUUUT I love mini lipsticks!

Can’t have Holiday 2017 without millennium pink and disco balls.
There should be a rollerball perfume set, without the lipsticks. I would probably get that. A set of all six scents. That would be perfect.

Nancy T Avatar

Feeling overwhelmed per the usual MAC holiday collection. There is a lot that I am loving here: Rose Lipstick mini kit, Gold mini pigment set, one of the Eye Bags.

I did notice one thing that could either be a good thing (potentially better quality) or a bad thing (that the lesser amount of products per set/kit/palette is just an attempt to rip the consumer off); there are less e/s’s in the palettes, 3 instead of 4 with the mini lipstick, lipglass and pigment sets.

Are these the same??

HAPPY GO DAZZINGLYĀ Gold with sparkle
HERE COMES JOYĀ Peachy gold with shimmer

Or are these four different shades?

Christina Seefried Avatar

Im confused by this as well…there is no picture above of the “face bags” with the brush. So there are really 4 highlighters/face powders? Whisper of Gilt, show gold, happy go dazzling, and here comes joy?

Kirsten Avatar

I’m definitely tempted, but these promo images are so photoshopped that it’s hard to know what they really look like. Will you be reviewing the whole collection, Christine?

Kylie Avatar

I LOVE it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The cosmetic bags are also so beautiful this time. And I love the new mini lipsticks in general. Not only in this collection. And the brush sets, ok I love everything.

LoveAlwaysMakeup Avatar

I am VERY confused, as a Mac collector I thought I had all of this down but this year I am SO confused. I really hope you can help Christine and that I am not asking too many questions!! 1) Whisper of Guilt (EDS) is ONLY being offered in the GOLD Face Bag set with the 140 SE Fan Brush (and I thought a bag…but I do not see a photo on this page). 2) Will the GOLD Face Bag set ONLY be available IN STORES not online – is that what “Retailer Exclusive” means??? 3) The main Holiday collection after the Holiday sets does NOT include Whisper of Guilt??? 4) Any other info on products, pre-ordering, ANYTHING anyone else can provide I would greatly appreciate…I called a Mac counter tonight and was told Novemeber 2nd pre – orders would be shipped which I don’t understand because the date above says 10/19 …. So anyone who has pre – ordered already can you shed some light on the info and details you were told?? THANK YOU SO MUCH!! XOXOXO

Ashley Avatar

So this is what I was told:
– The Whisper of Gilt is only available in the Gold set which includes a bag and a brush. Whisper of Gilt highlighter is not available separately. The two highlighters in the main holiday collection, available 10/19, includes 2 other shades. The Gold bag will be available 11/2.
– They are currently pre-selling the Gold set at Mac in Macys because I bought some today. I believe it will be available online but that is something I can’t completely confirm.

I hope that helps some.

The Snow Ball Eye & Lips bags in Pink and Rose Gold, they are not on the MAC site yet nor the retailers like Macys and Nordstrom. Any idea when they will be posted? Today is November 2nd and I thought they would release those two awesome bags? I love that they have a sparkly eyeliner, lip gloss pot, and eye shadow.

So will the United States be selling those amazing eye & lip bags in rose and rose gold? Iā€™m so bummed the last I heard they are In Europe only! Why?!? They are amazing looking!
