This is the nicest looking Mac collection I’ve seen yet (shades/packaging). Hope it’s good quality.
That is the gaudiest packaging I’ve ever seen. It’s perfect! lol Nostalgia has got me wanting everything, but I’m not going to even try to get anything from this collection.
What a gorgeous looking collection! I hope these products are as good as they look. That bronzey powder looks amazinggg!
Is the extra dimension skinfinish really $45?!
Everything is listed as it was listed in the press released I received from MAC.
EXTRA DIMENSION SKINFINISH
My Mimi: warm gold shimmer
SRP $45.50 US/$52.50 CAD
I think it’s because of the custom embossing it’s so much more expensive.
That said I might not be able to wear any of it but I want one of those lipsticks. I adore all the packaging details overall. 😉
Yikes!! I wonder how much it will be in Australia the? Seeing as their normal lipsticks are AUS$38 (around US$28)…
I think my local mac said online only.
Going by the usual price mark-up, it could be $45. Let’s hope they don’t apply the same cost formula as the nutcracker extra dimension skin finishes, in which case it would be closer to $60.
I want it ALL! This will be a total sellout – flatters so many complexions. I wore Mariah’s previous lippie down to near nothing- need a restock bad.
I’m not even concerned about swatches and reviews- it could totally fail and I’d still go for it.
Why? Because MAC gets it right more often than not.
I am in love with the packaging!! I think this collaboration looks fantastic – I cannot wait to see your reviews especially the lipstick and powder!
I feel like this collection is about 20 years too late… something about this just screams 90’s to me, from the obnoxiously sparkly packaging, to the product colors, to that sparkly powder with the little poof (reminds me of the powders UD came out with when they stopped being edgy, anyone else remember those?), to the collaboration with Mariah Carey… it all just feels kind of dated to me…
I’m with you. I was never a fan of her singing or style. I can easily think of ten other people I’d like to see MAC do a collection with, but it seems like it’ll be popular. I’ll leave mine for the people who love it already!
I totally remember those powders! I had a bunch of them. They were edible, too!
It’s supposed to be 90s lol, that was the height of Mariah’s popularity. And it’s actually right on trend, 90s makeup looks are coming back in a big way right now! I think if this had come out 2 years ago it would’ve been a huge miss, but right now it’s perfect timing.
i would say the 90s trend has been around since 2014 actually and it’ll be out soon enough. though i like it. especially the grunge side
Oh no!! The magpie in me is super excited for this collection, so sparkly and shimmery! Now here’s a holiday collection 🙂 let’s hope the quality is there
Ohmahgawd!!!! I love everything in this collection, those are my colours!! And that packaging!!! Here MAC – take my money.
OMG! These are SO BEAUTIFUL!!! But the prices are alarming! I mean, are you selling gold or make up?
I dont really see a problem in pricing, especially this being a collaborative collection. MAC is actually one of the more affordable “high end” makeup brands in comparison to others inside sephora.
Wow, this spells elegance and luxury. MAC is always surprising us and setting the bar higher when it comes to becoming more beautiful.
This collection is ridiculous, amazing, and is totally Mariah Carey through and through. I almost want a lipstick for the novelty, but the finishes are not ones I’m into. What a fun collection and definitely perfect for Christmas, haha!
I’m excited. I love her!
I like the looks of that cool-leaning quad, but the boat has mostly sailed on their eyeshadows for me. Too many better options at this price point!
Aside from that, the packaging looks pretty, just hoping it isn’t a glittery mess!
Christine any info on if this will be available first to MAC Obsessed or Devored customers? Thanks….
Sorry, all of the info I received was posted above!
$45.50 for the EDSF? WOW!
The packaging is so pretty & it’s right in time for the holidays! I can’t wait for your reviews on this collection. So far, I’m thinking of picking up a lipstick + the extra dimension skinfinish.
I’m sooo excited for this, especially the Extra Dimension Skinfinish! The whole collection is Glamorous, very Mariah Carey -ish!
I am getting EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!! Love the colors, love the packaging. Is that her face on the skinfinish? Lol!
Woah, the prices took a major jump up!
I need this entire collection in my life.
No ma’am.
Now that’s what I’m talking about! I think it’s beautiful.
I love it when some things go over the top, like makeup, it’s packaging, and wedding gowns. 🙂
I need none of it, and will pass. But, that does look lovely and reflective (haha) of the Mariah Carey vibe. Nicely done.
The colors all look gorgeous, the packaging is ok/nice too, but their price points are ridiculous. Sorry not sorry. MAC collections have disappointed me so much over the past couple years I’m not even sure I should get my hopes up. Make these companies start EARNING your hard earned cash again!! Too many other great cosmetics lines out here now. The only people I see really wanting and needing this are true diehard Mariah Carey fans. I’ll wait for swatches. Not pressed to jump on the bandwagon lol.
Word. Respect and money earned.
Thanks but “no thanks” – all those nude and brown lippies – blech! Gawdy packaging – nope! The prices – nope! Is the Twinks in this the same as Twinks in the permanent collection? (I always think of it as a red-toned brown rather than “deep plum with pearl”.
Well, the packaging is beautiful. I definitely want the lip liners and lip glasses for sure. I am not the biggest fan of cremesheen and frost lipsticks those are a pass. I wanted the skinfinish but that price is kinda high. I understand the special design they embossed into the product but its not even in the limited edition packaging.
I want everything!!!
Very retro 90s holiday…but I’m a sucker for OTT glitz! So many pieces of this collection are going on my list. Just hoping that it releases early to Obsessed bc I think it’s going to sell out.
I wanted the EDSF but nope to $45 smh
I think I may have just burst into butterflies of goodness singing!!! (Don’t ask…)
This is the prettiest packaging that I believe I have ever seen MAC do. This collex has colors I would actually wear quite often as well. Eagerly awaiting your future swatches should you decide to review this collex!
Christine ~ Can you double check the pricing of the EDSF and the loose powder? Those figures look odd/unusual. Thanks so much!
Hi Elise,
They are as printed in the press release.
Thanks Christine. Lots of not too happy peeps at the elevated prices. C’est la vie!
Oh nooo from the promo shots I thought there would just be one lipstick and I wouldn’t feel guilty for buying it but FIVE?! I hope they swatch horribly so I can pass, ha ha. The blushes look so cute too!
I don’t even want to know what the price of this collection will be in Australia if these are the US prices!
I am not a Mariah Carey fan but I have to say, I am loving this collection and it looks like it represents her quite well. I love the embossing and the color on the eye shadows. I am not a frosted lip person but will wait and see how they swatch if Christine reviews this collection. I hope they have enough of everything to go around because this is going to sell out, I am sure.
Very autumnal shades and I think this will sell well.
Sooooo beautiful !!!!!!!!
Even more than the nutcracker sweet collection. The packaging and the colours. Wow.
Love. Love. Love.
Two things…
“I don’t know who that is”
and
Thanks, but we’re all stocked up on crazy here.
Omg, the makeup could be a total miss and I would get everything just cause of the packaging!! I haven’t seen such a pretty packaging since the Rihanna collection.
All of this appeals to me and I am not even a big Mariah Carey fan, she did a great job on this collection.
I probably wouldn’t buy any of it not a big Mac Fan but I am curious about the review when I think of Mariah Carey I think of someone with a lot of money with very bad taste but her makeup collection Might be different.
I love the browner/warmer quad, and the coral blush from the pictures!!!!
Not a fan but that won’t stop me from checking out a few of the lipsticks!
I was talking with a MAC MUA about this collection and she said that the photo shoot was the most expensive to date for MAC. Mariah wanted real diamonds to be raining down but settled for Swarovski crystals, and insisted on actual diamonds in the costume (which they actually accomodated). When the shoot was done, she just up and walked out wearing the costume (with all of those diamonds!).
Must have Bit of Bubbly lipstick and maybe one of the eye shadow quads. ?
I was excited about this collection at first and the packaging IS super pretty but…the prices make me mad. They’re really random, first of all. They’re raised several dollars for no apparent reason. MAC is already getting way too expensive and you can really feel how much they’re taking advantage of their customers lately–especially with a .50 price increase twice a year. This isn’t even a couture collection, it’s just pretty packaging. I can’t afford to buy makeup that’s not drugstore anymore–the only one I save up for is MAC. I’ve only been into MAC for 3 years now but I already have over 70 lipsticks and I absolutely love collecting them (especially LE packaging ones), but with the prices rising $1 every year I just don’t get as much anymore. I do really love that they’ve been having huge sales lately though, they’ve been a godsend for me! I’m hoping Blue Nectar goes on sale soon because I still have a few lipsticks I want to get from that. This turned into a random rant so let me get back on topic lol.
Also I’m disappointed in the lipstick finishes in this collection. Two frosts and then what, 3 cremesheens? Why not throw at least one matte in there, or even a satin? All three of the cremesheens look the same anyway. A mid-tone taupe-y brown in satin or matte would’ve been amazing in this collection. The lip liner colors sound perfect but I just can never justify paying that much for a lip liner tbh.
Yes please, I want it ALL!!!! I can’t resist the sparkly packaging, and it’s also super nostalgic for me. There is no way I can pass this collection up!
nuh-uh. what ?! huh? whaaat im like speechless this is beautiful. such a change from her boring black lipstick tube last year. i neeeeeed omg it’s sooo nice. and the butterfly on the lipstick? genius. they did their homework. i wasn’t gonna buy anymore makeup this year. honestly i hope supply lasts into january if i’m lucky.
The collection looks interesting but Mariah Carey hasn’t been relevant for decades. Even her picture looks dated (yes, we know you like to flaunt your cleavage). Not a fan, so it’s a no-go for me.
I hope they don’t do us like they did for Selena!!
I will try to resist, but I’m sure I’ll grab the liquid eyeliner, lippies and the pinky blush. I like the nudish color pencil.
I want the whole thing!! She always has gorgeous makeup and I am so happy to see that this collection is true to her style.
Please post swatches and reviews, can’t wait to see then in order to decide what to buy. I already have All I Want lipstick from last year but may need to restock. Thank you. Waiting…..
Sorry, I don’t have any products to swatch or review.
I would just like to point out that December 8th is Nicki Minaj’s birthday. You can NOT convince me that Mariah didn’t do this on purpose after the whole American Idol drama.
However, it is a very beautiful collection and I will probably buy it just because of the packaging although I look forward to see what you have to say about these!
Why would she know her birthday, again? Plus, these things are decided well in advance.
I am buying it for the packaging alone! GAH – I can’t wait!!
I hope Mac is smart enough to have enough product so it doesn’t sell out before people are able to get it, like those of us who work for a living. I hope they don’t screw it up like they did the Taraji P. Henson collection.
The packaging is beautiful, especially the lipsticks… But I do not need any more nude makeup.
This is a gorgeous collection and I’m really happy they expanded her line from last year. I will probably be picking up one or two lipsticks, maybe a quad, and the skinfinish (assuming they don’t all sellout instantly). That being said, phew, those prices are steep. I’m really hoping MAC is only doing this because of the packaging, otherwise I doubt I’ll be able to keep up with their future collections.
Wow, that shot of Mariah is almost enough to put me off, hope she is alright after having that glass smashed all over her. Most of the shades look surprisingly nice and almost wareable. I may end up with something, but then again, i may not.
The link through Instagram you posted showed different prices. For example The LE lipsticks were listed $17,LE lipglass $15,LE extra dimension skin finish $30,LE iridescent body powder $24,both blushes $22,& last both eyeshadow quads listed $32. Which are the accurate prices for these items? Thankyou
Hi Denise,
Unfortunately, our system only assigns price to the product (we want to make it possible to assign to individual shades, but it is not currently something we can do) – e.g. MAC’s normal lipstick price is $17, but there is special pricing for the collection, which is listed above.
Do you know if this collection will be available at Belk department stores?
