MAC Tartan Tale: Prologue

The holiday collection for MAC has four distinguishable product offerings:  the color collection (traditional launch of lipsticks, eyeshadows, etc.), palettes and bags (eyeshadows, lipsticks, lip and brush bags), miniaturized sets, and Viva Glam/Kids Helping Kids.

Today, we’ll take a look at both face kits, lip bag sets, and a brush set.  Tomorrow, we’ll move on to the eyeshadow and lip palettes.  If I have any strength between now and then, the color collection either tomorrow or the next day.  The miniaturized sets will come next week.

Please do not hotlink images–if you want to share the post, we would love you to, but please link back to the post instead.  No photos or content is allowed to be republished on third party sites without written permission from Temptalia.  Thank you for respecting our time and effort!

See a few teaser photos!

Comments that do not adhere to our comment policy may be removed. Discussion and debate are highly encouraged but we expect community members to participate respectfully. Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

“If I have any strength between now and then…” That made me laugh AND made me sad all at the same time! lol! That’s how I’ve felt over the past two weeks… I feel your pain.

You’re great Christine and you really such take your time – thought we all want to see your reviews, at this moment your midterms are more urgent!! Good luck!!

Do you actually get a hard time from people? You are one of the most prolific posters on any blog I read and you also have some of the most clear images and most accurate swatches..and you do all of that while being in school and dealing with life in general..it’s impressive. I hope you don’t listen to anyone who thinks what you do isn’t enough- it’s more than enough!

Wait a minute – are you being cheeky or do you really get hate mail for not posting swatches at a certain time? I really hope that you were being sarcastic…

I think your website and reviews rock, no matter when they get posted… You’ve helped me to make so great makeup decisions!

XO!

Poor Christine! You are totally entitled to a bit of time to get around to reviewing things! I personally feel like you don’t owe me anything, rather its the other way around. Good luck in your midterms! x

Thanks for everything you do! I appreciate it all, especially since you take the time out of your hectic week to review all this stuff for us. Thank you!

Christine you do a phenomenal amount of work for us, and I want to thank you! The people that don’t appreciate you and all that you do should not matter. Thank you so much, and you are amazing! Please keep up the awesome work 🙂
A big fan,

So far the only thing I’m sold on is Vain & Glorious!! 🙂 And I’ve seen swatches of the single eye shadows…they looks VERY sheer. >.> But I am waiting to see it on your website. Personally I trust your reviews over anyone elses.

I’m so sad to read people have actually sent you hate mail, Christine. It’s totally understandable for you to be busy with school or have whatnot going on that makes you unable to post sometimes. I commend you for being able to keep up with everything. 🙂

We try to approve comments within 24 hours (and reply to them within 72 hours) but can sometimes get behind and appreciate your patience! 🙂 If you have general feedback, product review requests, off-topic questions, or need technical support, please contact us directly. Thank you for your patience!
