This looks AMAZING. *Crosses fingers* Please be good!
Oh wow! that packaging is to die for! I hope the stuff inside is good!
Oh man that packaging! And nontraditional colors, I’m sold!
Any idea when in 2016? Feb? Thanks
June
Now, THAT’S packaging! And some great/different colorways. Fun!
This collection looks beautiful, very vivid and editorial… The packaging is simply stunning and arty. If these items rate well, I will be in trouble to choose what to get 🙂
That packaging is gorgeous. I’m betting this one will sell out in a heartbeat.
Yaaaaaassss!!!!!! I was waiting for MAC to bring us a more artistic and unusual collection of colors, especially in lipstick! Methinks this is going to be a BIG haul. And that packaging is divine! This totally made my day!!!!!!! I’m literally giddy.
This looks AWESOME! I’m excited. The packaging is lovely, and is that a dark purple blush? I want all the purple things! <3<3<3
Oh my god – YES! Just LOOK at those colours! YAY!
OH…MY…GOD!!!!
Oh my. I think this might be the first MAC collection in years that I’m intrigued by. Let’s hope it’s not a bunch of permanent or ill-performing products! =)
Oh I love this packaging! I think this is the first packaging I’ve liked since Alluring Aquatics, definitely not going to miss out on this one.
I’m liking the purple lipstick, the orange eyeshadow and red blush. And perhaps the other two blushes. I also like that it is actually a vibrant collection.
Wauw, those packages are so beautiful!
FINALLY some packaging worth swooning over!! not a fan of that clearcube plactic lipstick in an upcoming mac release (having a brainglitch with the name here..)
Due that packaging! I’m assumeing this is a spring collection.
I hope those Yellow and Blue Lipsticks are good! (cheaper for me than Lime Crime right now. lol)
I’m also curious about the powder, and purple blush.
Oh my goodness, I hope these perform well! What a stunning variety of colors! Live the packaging as well
I hope that dark plum lipstick performs well! I think I’m going to get the teal one just because I don’t have anything else like it in my collection. Looking forward to your reviews 🙂
I need EVERYTHING. The yellow, blue and purple lipsticks, the blushes, the yellow and pink shadows…. ahhhh!!!!
Oh my! The packaging! And that purple lipstick!
Times like these when I wish MAC had a ‘Buy entire collection’ button like Chanel does, haha! I’m going to try to grab most of it pending swatches!
WHOAH!!!! This could be good! Like REALLY good! I’m feeling excited for this release, b’cuz I love COLOR!
Happy to see that aqua eyeshadow, considering Aquadisiac is going bye-bye.
I’m not sure what blows me away more—the packaging or the product colors! Fingers crossed that they’re pigmented and not sheer cremesheens like in past collections! :O
If the Aqua and Yellow lipstick is a cremesheen or luster finish that going to be a fail of a product. I hope we get Matte or Satin formula with those shades like the Kelly Osbourne Collection 2014, I kept those shades!
Gorgeous packaging! The shades look pretty too but I can’t justify buying them when I have dupes for the ones I would actually wear and not just collect.
Looks fun and colorful!
The packaging! I need to get something from that collection just for the packaging.
I’m so glad I saved my Macy’s gift card from Christmas. I’m definitely interested in some of the lipsticks and whatever that compact is in the middle!
OMG, look at those colors and that packaging!!! This is the most exciting MAC collection I’ve seen in years. The MAC Guo Pei collection wiped me out, have a feeling this one will too. Better start saving up now
this looks epic, i HOPE this reviews well. packaging + non traditional colors? YAS
Dear make up God may be this release not be like the Wan bao bao collection, may be this collection not sold out!!! AMEN! I’ll make the dark plum blush and lipstick mine!!
This looks heinous.
I need that purple lipstick so badly! And I’m tempted to try that mint one…
The packaging is amazing! I don’t think there is a single item I can use : (
I need these products.
The packaging is darling, and even though I don’t love the brand or formula, the turquoise lippie has to be mine. I may even wear it too!
oh, yawn, another MAC special limited edition collection.
OMG, that packaging! Just…stunning. I like the product shades, as well. I hope this reviews well.
I can’t wait to see what sort of powder that one in the middle is! 🙂
I cannot wait!
I no longer wear colors like these and I promised myself that I would never purchase any more items if I was not going to ever wear them but that packaging is going to make me cave…..I guess I’m still a sucker for the beautiful and unusual.
Please let that lipstick be an actual pigmented yellow that is not chalky and dry.
Lovely bright colours – I hope they are good.
Just when I thought mac couldn’t get anymore boring…. they surprise me. lol I want the whole collection especially if there’s a bronzer for my warm brown skin. I can’t wait!
PURPLE LIPSTICK!
Ahhhh! I’m hoping against all hope that at least one of the lipsticks is good because I’ve developed a fondness of collecting MAC limited edition packaged lipsticks. I skipped on Guo Pei because they were Cremesheens, if I remember correctly. I’m liking the look of that pink-toned red at 10 ‘o clock!
Those eyeshadows look amazing??‼️
FINALLY something exciting from MAC !!!
❤–❤
Wow, stunning! And so fun! The turquoise eye colour shall be MINE! Haha. I’m so looking forward to your reviews of this collection!
WOW, that packaging is wild! I love it. I’m a sucker for unique packaging and purple lipstick. I didn’t have a chance against this. Looking forward to your reviews and to see what else catches my eye from this collection.
Finally!!! (please don’t suck. Please don’t suck)
I gotta couple MAC gift cards in my hot little hands waiting for the right collection! This could be it! I like the red blush and aqua eyeshadow so far.
I love seeing so many bright colors in one place — I hope these perform well!
What a beauty! OMG! I totally want it just for the packaging!
OMG. I MUST have it. Such a beauty! The packaging is 10/10! xx
Yellow lipstick? Why. Just why.
This looks interesting! I hope the inside is as good as the outside looks!
For the first time in *eons*, I sincerely hope MAC/Esteé Lauder hasn’t f*kced this LE release up because I LOVE the packaging! Especially that compact! That’s like a wet dream for me!
That being said…..I know I won’t be able to stomach buying the products just for the packaging…..just can’t do it. You can wrap a turd in silk & lace but even Chanel No 5 won’t cover the stink……so let’s hope this isn’t another limited edition MAC turd!
First the pantone sephora universe collection comes out with a blue lipstick then others join in..May be great to layer with another color but I don’t see myself wearing a blue lipstick on its own.
Thank you so much for the post!
Maybe I can use the blue lipstick to make a red lipstick that’s too orangey on me to cool it down..
first time I’m actually mildly interested in a mac collection! I guess it will be coming to Europe end of February ? packaging looks fantastic. For some reason whatever mac releases sells out immediately…what’s going on ?? haha
Yeah I’m now glad I haven’t been so interested in this years MAC collections so far, I can save up with this collection in mind 😉
Does anyone know when this will be released in the USA?
Does anyone know what formula the lipsticks will be? I am crossing my fingers it will be a Matte or an Amplified one. I really hope that the shadows are opaque too, I am so tired of the “color washes”. Summertime =’s Color!
