I need it all.
Not too excited. This is a Holiday collection?! lol. I am sorry. At this point. I am just saturated with Mac’s LE collections. I really don’t know how you do it.
Can’t agree more! I mean, is getting ridiculous!!! I rather look away.
Same. Too much effort just to see everything sold out or be of poor quality. I stick to permanent collections only aside from if I see some of the LE stuff at a CCO.
Hi Anne, just curious.What does CCO stand for?
Cosmetics Company Outlet. They sell discounted surplus inventory from MAC, Estee Lauder, Clinique etc.
A CCO is a Cosmetics Company Outlet. They’re places where umbrella brands like Estee Lauder or Lancome basically have outlet stores. I go to one south of Portland (the Estee Lauder one has MAC, the Lancome one has stuff like Urban Decay) and they have a lot of cool stuff. The selection can be somewhat limited in certain areas (they only had a few lipsticks and a few lip liners) but they had a HUGE selection of blushes, eyeshadows, and even stuff like the mineralize skinfinishes (I got Lightscapade for about 50% off!) and a bunch of the LE collection stuff from random times (I got an ombre blush from the Proenza Schouler collection from Summer 2014). I also got some stuff like the Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation and some brushes and some Clinique stuff there. The Estee Lauder store one was called The Cosmetics Company Store and the Lancome one was called Lancome-Designer Fragrances & Cosmetic Co. If you can find one in you’re area they are DEFINITELY worth checking out as they’ve been a total game-changer for me. Also to give a nod to who I heard about it from, it was a youtuber named Jessica Murphy (JAMBeauty89).
Thanks Anne.I had never heard of that! I don’t think there are any close to me. But there may be some on my drive to Columbus. I’m going there Tues. There are a bunch of outlets. I am going to research that! Thank you. I know there is the online allcosmeticswholesale.com. I never really found it to be too much of a huge discount. But, it is generally some sale prices of Nars,Occ,Mac as well as Loreal,etc. Just throwing that out there.It’s worth looking sometime. 🙂
I agree. This crap looks basic. No way I’ll purchase this collection. MAC better get it right!!!!
This is so early! Is that normal for MAC? I’m an Elie Goulding fan, so maybe I’ll treat myself to one of these pieces depending on the reviews. 🙂
They’ve taken to releasing initial info like who they’re doing a collab with pretty early on, which I think is to beat some of the leaks, but they don’t release the REAL info (at least not officially) until much closer to the actual launch date.
I’m actually like thing this collection, but definitely need reviews on a few items to sell me due to quality issues with MAC LE stuff.
This would have been perrrrfeeect for the summer! Just look at that bronzer blush duo!! Holiday? Not so much.
I completely agree with you! And was thinking the same thing. These are summer colors. I love the packaging though
My thoughts exactly. It’s more like the summer collections I’ve been seeing elsewhere. Definitely would not be looking for something like this in the fall/winter seasons.
I want it all! I love these neutral colors! Can’t believe I have to wait until the winter to get my hands on this stuff.
GUESS WHERE MY MONEY IS GOING
Easily dupeable. Nothing exciting in packaging or product.
Yeah, I’m gonna need this… 😀
As a lover of neutrals, this looks promising.
I need MAC to release a cartoon LE like Archies and Venomous Villains. I missed those two and now paying hefty prices to get the lipsticks from resellers :/
Oh and pleaseeeeeee let it rest with the reds. We hardly get any soft or muted pinks LE so far and where’s that color of the year Marsala?? Pretty useless to crown it color of the year and we dont get it shoved to our faces
Haha, true that. maybe there’s a similar one among the permanent ones.
I agree. I started buying makeup again after the Archies collection. That collection was so badass with so many good products. I really want Prom Princess blush. MAC rarely releases a deep plum blush. I wish they would bring back dirty plum. No limited edition collection was as interesting since.
It’s so plain jane. It’s like déjà vu. With these repeated neutrals in these collections. Come on mac amp it up. I wish miley would have came out with a mac collection, besides her lipstick which I love!
So nude! This should be a Back to School collection, or something like that.
Seriously if not for the MAC logo I’d think it was Bobbi Brown, but even that line has been edging out of the box. Not that there’s anything wrong with it, just not my interest right now.
I liked it more when I thought it was a summer launch. Nice promo images and I like the lip products and half lashes.
Ellie’s looking really fierce here, getting a serious 90s supermodel vibe, especially with the hair! I look forward to seeing more from the collection.
She looks Amazing, the nails are fierce too.
Wait… HOLIDAY.?????
This actually looks really pretty. I’ll wait for reviews first, obviously.
I spy some sort of cream shadow product in the bottom left? What is that?
I actually like all of these colors, but since I like these types of colors I already own them and won’t be losing any sleep staying up for this launch. (or any other launch, because MAC is not worth cutting into my sleep time, ha).
everything about this is precious
All I can say is YASSSS
This looks like the revamped Mac Cindarella collection. It just looks more bronzy or is she darker than that collection
December??? Really? That’s like waaay too long to wait.
That said, this collection just looks fantastic! Right up my alley 🙂 For now I’m definitely interested in the duo and the patentpolish lipstick. Really hope the quality is there, cause I will definitely be stocking my MAC store to check it out.
Ooops, I meant stalking, not stocking, of course. Sorry 🙂
zzzzzzzzzzzz….what the…..this is a holiday collection??? I think the colors are pretty for a natural summer look, but these colors have been done a thousand times before. I can go to the drugstore and get these colors. Where is the creativity? Maybe all of these LE collections have just drained MAC dry….
Holiday 2015? Which holiday? July 4th? LOL. Seeing as it is only the first week of June and not even summer yet, this kind of advance publicity smacks of desperation. We haven’t even gotten all the summer collections yet and the fall collections are still to come. By the time the holiday collections are rolling out, this one by MAC will be old news–definitely not the way to build anticipation. All my griping aside, though, it does look very pretty but more like a summer collection.
Not too excited by what i see, the same blush/bronzer as the RiRi (i like typing that lol) Hibiscus Kiss one? Plus i don’t like those lip pencils if they’re the same ones from Sharon Osbourne
Well, she usually wears neutrals 😀 I like the lipstick
I’m not exactly sure who this is, but Iike the lipstick in the pic.
Ha – you’re not alone. I have no idea who she is either but even if Audrey Hepburn came back to life and was the face of this collection, I wouldn’t buy it.
I’ve never heard of her, either. She looks gorgeous, though. I agree, her lips look beautiful.
She is a modern day pop star. I do wish they would collab with some of the older generation stars or beauty bloggers(like ColourPop does). Seems like they are catering only to the college aged and below sometime. Although, I was impressed with the MacXToledo collection.
oooh, love ellie, and the collection screams ellie. the lipstick packaging looks a bit like armani. the blush seems promising as well.
The packaging and colors are making me think they’re going for a very luxe vibe, I hope that by the holidays they’ll have fixed the issues with LE quality and made it worth it! (I really hope the quality is better than the last year or so of collections bc that lipstick up top is the most beautiful shade of pink for my coloring)
All mine. All miiiine ! Love Ellie Goulding, love neutrals. Probably have dupes of everything but still…
This collection looks interesting. I like the packaging from what I can see so far. But I’m guessing this won’t be too WOC friendly though. I can’t wait for more pics
Holiday 2015….um, isn’t it a bit early even to be putting out hints about this? By the time it rolls around, the excitement (however much can be generated by a “holiday” collection that looks as dull as this one) will have fizzled!
Packaging reminds me of Gucci because of her initials. Probably should’ve opt’d for something different.
*Counting on my fingers* Holiday?! Wow — anyway, I am very interested in some of these products!
I think this is the first time I’ve seen a holiday *bronzer*, not highlighter.
That said if that stick turns out to be a shadestick I’m on it.
l…may also buy the quad. I’m such a sucker for those exact colors.
I’m kind of interested…
It’s a different approach to Holiday. I see why some are commenting that it has more of a summer vibe, but i think (and this is, of course, just a guess derived from this ONE photo) that MAC is trying to jive off of the traditional glitter and metallics that are often part of Holiday collections and steer it in a slightly different direction (more neutral with gold, bronzy, peachy). If that is the case, it doesn’t read Christmas or winter, it reads more “Holiday”, i.e. gatherings, get-togethers, New Year’s Eve. That nail color, the shimmers, the bronze and peach hues…I can totally see it working for that sort of thing. That’s just what I am seeing…
Yesssss! Excited. I love her, I think she’a adorable.
Oh no – not ANOTHER neutral palette – it’s summer MAC – colours!
First off, it’s barely even summer. Second, yawn.
Pass
This ought to be an interesting one….summer shades in winter. But it *may* have some cool stuff included, especially if the formula is on fleek.
It’s a cool idea for a collab, especially since they insist on doing so many, so often! She’s got a good look that would inspire a very neutral, pretty collection.
Like.. I don’t even care much for Ellie Goulding herself so I don’t know why but.. that collection somehow calls to me SO LOUD 😀
Nude is not a holiday color. I was thinking of reds or anything else darker
I hope these are as good quality as they look because these are right up my nieces Ally and she was she has been hinting she’s wanting Mac make up for Christmas like every time I see her. She’s very simple when it comes to makeup right now natural colors . Than again I may just put together a quad, buy a mineral blush and throw in a nude cream-sheen gloss. And call it a day.
