Wait, there is going to be a Maleficient movie? I must live under a rock.

Looking forward to this considering how great the Maleficient stuff in Venomous Villains was 🙂

i know they really need to manufacture more and not pre sell it way before its released. they should be ashamed of themselves for the madness they create with the limited edition collections.

Elle Avatar

You summed up how I feel. I don’t think I’ve bothered with a MAC collection in years because I got too tired being disappointed with the product I want being gone before it even made it to stores. I’m still excited to see Christine’s review, but I’m sure the chances of getting stuff from this collection will be kinda slim to none 🙁

Mariella Avatar

Same here. To be honest, I find it disrespectful to long time customers because, to me, it really feels like they’re playing games with us and actually having a good laugh while doing it. The last time Moth Brown was released – only online – I was so irked because I had never actually seen it “in the flesh” and I’m one of those people who will generally repurchase online but for a first time buy, I like to buy in-store. Add to that the very real fact that a lot of their LE products have been of very iffy quality (thank heaven for Christine’s honest and thorough reviews) and I’ve given most of them a really wide swerve!

Stacey Avatar

My thoughts exactly. I dont even bother with MACs LE collections anymore. Ploys like theirs dont make a product feel special to me, it makes me feel like Im being messed with. Limited Edition should mean a limited time it will be available, not a limited amount. (like Nars for example)

Bluebelle Avatar

Exactly! And then it will all end up on ebay for 3-4 times the retail price, Even though I LOVE Maleficent, I won’t let myself get excited for this collection because I know it will just end in disappointment. I used to be a huge MAC fan, but I haven’t bought from them in ages because I don’t have time to sit on my computer, refreshing their website days in advance in the hopes of being able to order what I want 🙁

Omg omg omg. If Bad Fairy is released again… I may die of joy. I have never mourned using a product more in my life lol. I will be forced to stock up.

beck Avatar

Oh man this looks right up my alley! Hopefully
I don’t like it in person as I could see myself going
crazzzzy. I love the poster! I’m excited for the movie
to come out on Blu Ray nothing like watching a flick
at home, for me any way!
I went crazy with Venemous Villains, if this collec has
cool packaging I am doomed.

Erica Avatar

Did you say Summer? Girl, you already got this summer baby starting her birthday gift list and the Holidays haven’t gotten into full swing (lol). I know it’s only a sneak peek, but it looks mighty dark and vampy for Summer. Love it!

Alyssa Avatar

It has been a LONG time since I did a hard core mac haul because I haven’t been crazy about them lately but with this… Unless they screw it up I’m going to buy so much from this! I’ve been freaking out over this movie and now a makeup collection!!! Tbh, I think Uban Decay would’ve been nice (especially with how they did their Oz palettes!!) but if mac treats this like the villains collections then I can’t wait!!

nikki Avatar

I can’t believe they finally got Angelina Jolie for a makeup ad campaign! has she done… any at all besides Sheseido? this collection is going to sell out at record speed.

Mimielle Avatar

Oh my….
Why do I have a feeling this might be juuuust a little ‘different’ than the other Villains release…

This is a good example of why I have a love-hate with my local 2 MAC stores.
Love: IF we get LE things, they rarely sell out so I have enough choose to make my wallet squeak.
Hate: We often don’t get LE things or will just get a partial collection.

I don’t shop at either enough (yet) to have developed a relationship with a SA to be more ‘in the know’ about what they will get before-hand. I wonder if there’s time for that if I start shopping more regularly in-store now, hmmm…

Grace Avatar

Hmm so will Jolie be showcased throughout the packaging, or will they be using Disney’s version of Maleficent.. not a big fan of Jolie *runs off before getting hit by bricks

Lizzi Avatar

Oh dear… I bought almost every piece of the Venomous Villains collection. This will probably another crazy bill for my checking acct. I do hope they release Bad Fairy again though. That was such a unique shade and I used mine up over a year ago. I bet there will be a few repromotes from the VV collection, but the packaging will be more elegant and no cartoons, it’ll just sucker me in more…

beck Avatar

Yep!! I hope it is not like the first Marilyn Monroe launch
or I will be sending MAC a letter of disappointment. Because obviously
they won’t release Maleficent twice like they did with
Marilyn, giving people a CHANCE to actually buy a product or
two.
I wouldn’t mind the packaging like Marilyn’s either,
with the photo printed on top of Angelina, esp. the poster
shot here with those amazing green hued eyes.

If I know I want something really really badly before it’s released, I usually call my local Nordstrom. They sometimes have a set number of stock reserved for pre-order.

Veronica Avatar

That’s why I’ve just backed away from MAC’s LE releases. If I occasionally stumble upon a leftover MAC LE item I like after the big rush was over, I’ll get it, but otherwise I stick to the permanent line. Less duds, anyhow. 🙂

Mariella Avatar

Summer! I still have to make it through a long Canadian WINTER and then the typically unpredictable Canadian spring (some of which thinks it is winter and some of which thinks it is the dog days of August!) Sure would like to see something of what this collection will offer (will it be repromotes of the Maleficent products from the Disney Villains?)

Lark Avatar

Wait a minute – Summer? We don’t do Evil in summer, thats Winter Wear. Besides, that movie is Christmas release, the long trailers are running on Hulu. And she’s just fabulous!

But putting out teaser announcements seven months ahead for a look based on pale skin? In summer? Somethings wrong here.

Erika Avatar

I hope this collection is as good as the Venomous Villains collection (if not better)..! I was absolutely in love with the lipsticks in that collection when I saw it here on Temptalia, but I wasn’t obsessed with makeup yet when that was released so I had no idea about it. Sad. 🙁

I can’t wait for your review of this set, Christine! 🙂

Charli Avatar

Am I missing something here? A link or a go to another page button? Because all I see is a movie poster. What, or where, is the sneak peak? I hope I don’t come off as rude, because I am genuinely confused.

Charli Avatar

Oh! No worries Christine! It’s just the way everyone was commenting, it seemed to me that they were talking about actual products and I was genuinely confused 🙂 Thank you for clearing that up. I guess they are excited at the prospect and anticipation of the products.

Lisa Avatar

I don’t get it, I don’t see any makeup in this photo, except a tiny corner of lipstick showing. I never understand when makeup companies don’t bother to do anything special with the makeup in their promo images. This doesn’t make me want to buy anything except maybe a pair of badass horns.

Nikki Avatar

I rarely shop LE collections, but I’m super excited to see reviews and swatches for this one! I completely missed the Disney Villains collection (I wasn’t into MAC at the time), and there was so much in that collection that I was impressed with. Hopefully, the products in this one will be equally as beautiful!

Natalie Avatar

Ahh, I don’t know if I can do it again. I generally don’t shop MAC LE collections because my anxiety just can’t take it but I need all the things. Disney plus MAC? AND they did the Villains collections SO well? Dammit!

Liz W. Avatar

Oh my goodness! Another Maleficent collection! My all the time favorite super villain. Too many things to be excited about & look forward to 2014. I can’t really wait!!!!!!!!

kristie Avatar

OMG! I CAN’T WAIT for this collection! I wasn’t a makeup lover when the venomous villains collection launched 🙁 sad face! So I can’t wait for this launch or the movie! Angelina is going to rock it! Love Disney and MAC!

Victor Avatar

Has there been any news on when the final product photos will be released. I’m dying for the movie, but this makeup collection is killing me with anticipation! Please and thank you for your time.
