I love the ad campaign for this, with the kind of abstract blocks of color! I know it definitely won’t be for everyone but I like the funky kind of vibe and pops of color.
i love it too!! π
Oh man this is so cute, I want it for the packaging alone.
I rarely buy MAC false lashes because I prefer Eylure or Ardell (I’m cheap, haha) but I’m definitely getting those lashes. They’re so cute. Plus, there’s no chance they’ll sell out right away, MAC LE lashes tend to stick around awhile. π
Yeah, they still remind me of the Stargazer / WnW Fantasy Maker lashes for costume/stage work. I might get them if they go on clearance. π
OMG this is so cute! I will definitely pick something up from this collection, tough decision on just what. I want it all!
I’m interested just because it’s pandas. Is that wrong? I don’t really care! π
To the powers that be: Please let these be far better in quality than that Jeremy Scott disaster! Because I’m seriously digging the aesthetic on those face palettes. Since they are modeled after the Ellie Goulding paleettes, I do have hope! ?
Yes, the palettes are nice, particularly the purple one. The pandas? Meh!
OMG I love this! Won’t be buying since not cf though.
Me too π such a shame. Go c.f. mac and you’ll get way more customers!
I doubt there are more people demanding CF products than the market in China.
The population of China is equivalent to the population of North America, South America, Australia, New Zealand, and all of Western Europe — combined. #justsaying
I’m guessing pandas will be replacing unicorns…. I like the idea of the full face palettes (I’ve a MAC palette from quite a few years ago that was of similar design with the sliding top and a blush below) but those assortments of shades just aren’t for me; I like the blush from one of them, 2 shadows from another and 2 from the third and, of course, I’d like them all in one face palette.
I prefer pandas to unicorns any day … especially red ones π
not really the streetwear brand mac is collaborating with is called nicopanda, has been around a while so panda for that not as a trend like unicorn/holo has become….
I’m not familiar with Nicopanda, but I like what I’m seeing. The colors are great and the packaging is adorable. If the quality is there, I might be tempted to get a few things.
I literally want everything here!!! Even the colours I wouldnβt usually wear! But I have to limit myself to the preppy panda full face kit, the lavender lipglass and lavender lipstick, and, if financially possible, the brush bag and lashes. This collection was made for me!!!
Some of these palettes are screaming at me to get them, but I’ll wait for reviews. I just don’t buy MAC LE without them anymore because they are so hit and miss.
The face kits look nice. Not feeling the models makeup. Not the best representative of how the makeup would look on.
Okay – I’m glad it’s not just me.
I certainly hope that with all the trouble of getting the packaging right, MAC delivers on the products. A lot of creativitiy has gone on here.
I will definitely be owning a lipstick simply because it’s cute
Not my thing. But yay to those of you who like this new release!
Awwwww…pandas are cute and since it’s already been 5 nanoseconds since MAC released their last 3 LE collections, they were about overdue. I am going to check out the highlighter and the lipstick – hopefully it won’t be sold out by the time I drive to the store.
Tempting, but I’m afraid it will be like the Jeremy Scott disaster. The packaging is adorable, but the product is junk.
Fagely remembers seeing Nicopanda products the brand is only 3 years old. But funnily enough, it reminds me of the Shu Uemura X Qee Bear when they incorporate it into their products. lol The brushes remind me of the Tokidoki or Hello Kitty brushes that Sephora brought out years ago.
I’m slightly interested in the PREPPY PANDA FULL FACE KIT and the PINK-OFF if it’s the paler warm pink.
OMG! MAC + Pandas = my wallet is in trouble! Pandas a totally my thing, so if I don’t get at least one item from this collection, it will be a disaster :)))))) Look forward to Christine’s reviews and seeing it in person.
I know this is crazy for an older woman but I am really excited for this release. The first MAC release I have been excited about for quite awhile. I hope they perform really well. I am going to Europe in the fall and am looking for smaller eye shadow palettes and having a palette with a blush might be just the ticket. Plus, who doesn’t like cute little pandas?
I am not into cute packaging, but the crisp white design and the clear lines do tempt me.
same here. i usually detest cute packaging but the design of this is just so appealing to me!
My nickname is Panda. My last name is Berry. My video game name is PandaBerry. I love makeup, I love adorable panda things and itβs been years since I have treated myself to something like this so Iβm going to do it!
And it would be a nice bonus if I could wear what I purchase too. Although Iβm not entirely opposed to having it on my vanity just because it makes me smile.
Without looking like a circus panda – would anyone care to suggest which set might look nice on me? I live 6 hours away from any store that sells Mac so I will be buying online and crossing my fingers.
Features of interest: I am in my Korean, in my early 30s, I donβt get a lot of sun so I have a fairly light (albeit still yellowish) complexion, wamn tone, dark brown eyes, no creases on the eye lids, black hair…. pretty standard.
Thank you very much for any suggestions!! And If this isnβt the right place for this – I apologize! And would appreciate if you could point me the right way. Lol. I have had 3 boys since I finished college so Iβve been a bit out of this world that I used to adore.
Great work Christine! So happy to see you are so successful and your wonderful site has continued to grow and maintain its unparalleled quality. I honestly never purchase makeup without reading your review first. Total trust and you have never once let me down!
Your longtime reader,
Julie Berry
First Jeremy Scott, then Nicola Formichetti, my 2 fav designers ! MAC definitely wants my money !
i’ve been wanting a deep navy matte lipstick for the longest time but could never find one that was just right. they were either too glossy or too light of a blue or in a liquid lipstick formula. nico kiss looks like it could be just right!!! and in that packaging!! :)) christine if you give it an A i am getting it for sure!! :))
Funnyy, this almost sounded like the Three Bears story. Appropriate bc of the Panda theme too. ? Cute.
seems like such a colourful brand, especially since it says it’s punk meets kawaii, i’d never imagine they’d go for all-white packaging.
OMG pandas! I need the powder, and at least a lipstick.
Love the face palette colors but they’re too sparkly for me. π
These look adorable and such fun, fresh colors! I canβt wait to see swatches.
I love the promo pics. I can’t wait to see swatches.
I wonder if this fat shamer knows how much pandas weigh? I canNOT with Formichetti. Why would inclusive MAC collaborate with such a POS?
The packaging is adorable, and that face powder! I want π
