MAC x Guo Pei Collection features a floral, fabric print on all of the products except the three Fluidlines (which just have gold-colored caps and the collaboration’s logo). It is MAC’s annual “luxe” collection, which is why pricing is significantly more than their standard collections and permanent ranges. I don’t think that the formulas used here are different than the standard options, so you’re really paying for packaging (which is fine! but not everyone wants to do so). I liked the two eyeshadow quads and the Red Water Lily blush the best, while everything else was more so-so in performance. Both of the quads, while good quality, are more dupable. This collection is extremely limited edition; it will only be available at South Coast Plaza in California and the 5th Avenue in New York stores on October 1st and online (September 24th).
