MAC Heirloom Mix Collection will launch online on October 19th and be available in-stores and at counters on October 23rd.  It’s a limited edition collection for the holiday season, and it has special, glossy black packaging with silver flecks of sparkle/glitter (but the packaging is smooth, you can’t feel the glittery bits at all).  The Pressed Pigments are smaller this time around, just for reference.  The lipsticks are the best-performing overall, though there is one miss (Tribalist), which is an area where MAC tends to shine.  The Cremesheen Glasses have a nice texture, but they don’t wear long, often settle into lip lines or apply unevenly.  The Pressed Pigments are always interesting, and I think they’re prettier in person and tend to look best just one or two at a time, but they can be crumbly, sometimes chunky and difficult to work with, and they all have fall out during wear to some degree (some are worse than others).
