Oh my goodness, I see a number of things I want! Shadows in Joy Toy and Magic In Your Eyes shadow, Enchanter gloss, and Among the Fireflies lipstick. This looks like a nice collection!

That is one of the rare collections from Mac that caught my attention since forever. I am loving some soft neutrals with little fancy added. Not to mention the fairy theme, it is always fantastic.

Wish they would have done something with the packaging!! Come on MAC this is a fairy collection bring some mythical elements to this! But I will be picking up some pieces! Just the packaging is a bummer!

Katherine T. Avatar

I agree, what’s up with the plain packaging for a fairy collection??? At least slap something on it — fairies, sequins, glitter, colors, fancy lettering, anything, even stickers

Sarah Avatar

I’ve often wondered about this with MAC. Like, they released an awesome gaudy romance novel cover collection…with plain packaging? What a missed opportunity! Part of me wonders if it’s a side effect of churning out so many collections throughout the year.

Lacey Avatar

So far, I’m on the fence! I like the theme, and it looks like everything is pretty wearable (if you don’t mind shimmer). But that also means a lot of it is pretty dupable. And maybe it’s just me, but when I think of fairy-anything, it’s much more glittery and iridescent. (But that also wouldn’t have as much appeal, I suppose.)

And I’m so disappointed that they didn’t bring back The Faerie Glen lipstick–for the name alone! Lol

Christina Avatar

This looks like a very pretty and ethereal looking collection. I wasn’t interested originally, but seeing the whole collection together has changed my mind. I’ll probably pick up a little bit of everything.

Veronica Avatar

Is it bad that I want ALL the lipsticks, blushes, beauty powder, and the iridescent powder?

Good thing it comes after Christmas, when I will hopefully, have some $$$ to spend! ?

IRockFaces Avatar

Why didn’t they try to make an effort with the packaging? I mean it is a fairy collection for crying out loud. :-\ But even with that being said I love at least one of the glosses and two of the sheer lippies. I wonder if their permanent and that’s why the packaging was lacking this time. Hmmmmm.

Mariella Avatar

I’m not usually a fan of MAC’s lip glosses but Enchanter looks like one I have to have! I am eager to see your review of that and also of the foiled eyeshadows, which look like they might be lovely or really bad! (images of glitter fallout – hoping not!). CHRISTINE (sorry for the caps – hoping you’ll see my question). Can you explain what makes “Pearl Sunshine” a Beauty Powder but “Sparkling Rose” an “Iridescent Pressed Powder”? I only have one beauty powder in all my collection – Oh So Fair – and I never use it because I honestly don’t know what to do with it!

Nicole Avatar

Looks nice! This launches the day I plan to use my triple points at Nordstrom. I planned that because I know there will be sales and my daughter has to be at her dad’s house for the first Christmas and for a few days after. Going to be really hard on me. Retail Therapy here I come,lol
I’m loving the looks of the beauty powders,shadows , and blushes espescially!

Codename Duchess Avatar

*high pitched scream of excitement* I can’t believe Pearl Sunshine has finally been repromoted!!!! I’ve been waiting for this for YEARS. It was my favorite product from Barbie Loves MAC and I had almost given up hope of it ever coming back. What a great (post) Christmas Surprise!

Genevieve Avatar

The foiled eye shadows look great from the swatches, although there are a couple that look very similar to each other – so you would probably only need one of them. The blushes are lovely shades too. The lipsticks I thought were very meh. Far too pale for me.

Jennifer Avatar

I think I’ll try to get the Enchanter lipglass,Enchanted Forest and Magic in your eyes eyeshadows ,Cheek Pollen blush as my definite picks. Probable choices are the Pearl Sunshine beauty powder, and the iridescent powder .

Tracey E. Avatar

MAC Softly Lit Creamsheen Glass has been my go-to lip gloss for years. Will replenish when the line comes to CCO. Just Superb and Calypso Creamsheen Glass look nice, too.

Cathy Avatar

This collection looks gorgeous! The colours are right up my alley. In fact, I might even still have a Pearl Sunshine from when it was first released….

Bonnie Avatar

OMG those purple and pink eye (feminine wiles and magic in your eyes) eyeshadows!!! Ugh. And the enchanter lipgloss and among the fairies lipstick. wow I love. I’m almost never enchanted by MAC collections, but I might actually try to snag these. I love faeries. *heart eyes* but I agree with other posters they really blew it on the packaging!

Ellen Avatar

First set of new colors that I have liked in a long time. Great browns and nudes and berry/nudes. Hope the quality is as good as the colors. Do I order on the 23rd, or wait for stores?????
