Sneak Peek: MAC x Philip Treacy Collection Photos & Swatches
MAC x Philip Treacy Collection
MAC x Philip Treacy Collection is the third launch slated for March 26th online and will be in select stores on April 2nd (get full information here. I’m working my way through testing everything, but here are some swatches in the meanwhile! I would greatly appreciate it if you held any questions until I’ve had a chance to process, test, and write-up the collection. Thank you! 🙂
P.S. — I’ve previously reviewed Chrome Angel/Genuine Treasure Paint Pots (seen in the group shot), so I didn’t reshoot/reswatch those.

I have a feeling I’m going to have a well stocked fluidline stash after this collection.
Haha! 😉 More than likely!
beautiful!
Yay!
The same products in two different collections? What is going on? :/
Blacktrack is super standard to repromote, but it was interesting to see Blue Peep pop up twice.
one way or another I will buy Blue Peep! ho ho 😛
Wow, the swatches for Cardinal and Maria Moretti look really really similar (and pretty). Curious to see what you think of them, and if they’re dupes for each other!
So many reds!
Holywood Cerise is gorgeous! I like the powders too, but mostly for the design!
Do you think you’ll cave on the powders?
Probably not, unless your reviews will be great. I am on a lipstick kick recently so I’d rather invest in those! 🙂
I’m interested in the Hollywood Cerise lipstick. The others are too dupable. The second highlighter just looks kinda powdery to me in the swatch. I like the packaging of those. But, I don’t have a great gut feeling on them. One never knows though. I nave no Mac fluidlines. I typically go with Inglot or Bobbi Brown. I would be interested in seeing how these do. But, I am not going to be able to clear my schedule that day. So, if the counters are not carrying this or the other releases, I probably won’t bother. I’d probably be better off adding a Rouge G or filling in my highlighter or Armani eye tints wants anyhow.:)
Royal Wink is LE here, but the other two can be had any time!
ok, great! :)I just called my local mac counter and this collection and the Mac is Beauty collection will be at their counter. So, I will be able to pre-orer whatever I find I want.Proably was for the best with the Petite collection. i have been buying way too much makeup! I really loved that blush though! Oh well. I’m sure something will pop up that is similar or better!:)
*probably
Ohhh good lord, those powders.
I can’t tell if that’s good or bad… lol.
Darn. I was hoping the nude highlight powder would be a go but it looks too light for me. I think I’ll take Hollywood Cerise and Royal Wink though. I love those colors!
Definitely not shades for deeper skin tones 🙁
I’m curious if the formula of this Genuine Treasure has improved? It’s the only thing I’m interested in but the formula was so bad last time.
I’ll see if I can play with it – I was planning on donating it since it’s new!
It’s a small collection, but everything looks very well done. Have a feeling my wallet will be lighter after 3/26!
Let’s hope they work well!
I have a sense of deja vu, don’t you? 🙂
It’s pretty rare to find anything truly unique if you’ve been buying makeup long enough 🙂
Maybe my impression is wrong, I look forward to seeing your review!
The collection is a bust for me. The lips I own. The highlighters are very chalky looking and too matte/pink. I want to love them for the cute imprint on the powder, but definitely skipping.
The powders are on the lighter side :/
Hollywood Cerise and No Faux Pas might make their way into my collection. Beautiful!
Yay!
I really hope that you’ll be doing a swatch of Genuine Treasure, Christine! I’d love to see how similar/different it is compared to last time. I had trouble with the texture before.
It doesn’t appear to have changed, sorry!
Everything looks very pretty but I don’t see anything I need to have.
Your wallet is safe!
I thought I wanted Blush Pink but now I think I want Nude Pink.
I mean I actually want both and both the beauty powders from Mac is Beauty, but I have to narrow it down to one of each. Just booked my flight to Boise for my bro’s wedding, gotta keep the extraneous spending in check!
Ooh! Wedding! How fun 🙂
Those fluid lines are amazing!
Glad ya liked ’em!
Why so many collections at once?! I can’t handle the overload….well my bank account can’t ha ha
I wonder if they will allow any of these to have pro-discounts?? hmmmm!
Maybe on MAC is Beauty. I think a lot of the collaborations are ineligible.
Oooooh, Royal Wink looks like it might be close-ish to Urban Decay Ultraviolet! (which I rediscovered in my make up case recently and fell in love with).
Hope it is for you!
I am so happy to see such a talented Irishman like Philip Treacy working with a brand like MAC – I would have just loved some edgy limited edition packaging!
I missed out on No Faux Pas at Christmas so miiiiight pick it up but Hollywood Cerise will be coming home with me. I had high hopes for the powders from promo images but I’m a little underwhelmed – not shiny enough personally for a highlight and I don’t even think my hella casper cheeks could use them as a nice blush.. I’ll be waiting until your review! 🙂
We’ll see! 🙂
3/26 is going to be the ultimate d-day or should i say m-day Lol. So many gorgeous products how do i begin to prioritize which to get. Your reviews will definitely help narrow down the list. you have a lot on your plate at least you have a week to do all the testing. thanks in advance
I hope I can get everything done before it launches!
Relaunches!! I already own No Faux Pas when it was launched with the Heirloom collection and I’m sure Cardinal is close to one of the many reds i’ve purchased from MAC; Powders are too light for me… I would love to add Hollywood Cerise to my lipstick arsenal, but MAC has managed to disappoint me lately with these collection releases. Not only with the products, but their availability as well. I”m still a fan, but my hope is waning. Good luck to those ladies who do hope to purchase though!! 🙂
I’m sure the reds are similar to the many MAC has released before!
The powders!! The print on them is awesome. I hope the quality is great too!
Me too!
Hmm the highlight powder don’t look like highlighters… to bad. I think i’m going to order the best out of 2 and order the best Beauty Powder from the MAC is beauty collection..
We’ll see!
The high-lights look matte to me. I love Royal Wink and No Faux Pas.
Here’s hoping they show up on the skin!
I can already tell the blush pink High-Light powder is going to make your face look like pore-city.
What makes you say that? There’s hardly any shimmer in it!
Love the cardinal lipstick – great colour. And the blushes – lovely.
It looks like a nice red!
MAC is killin’ me with all these new collections! Space ’em out, MAC or I’m gonna be the most overly made up woman living in a box ever! The Nude Pink High-Light Powder is calling my name but it might be too light for my NC30 skin. That might be my saving grace.
I don’t know whether to hope for it to be too light or not 😉
I think both this & the Mia Moretti are def going to be misses for me. Feels like the colours I really like I already have such similar ones & really need to stop buying the same colours over & over (she says with optimism that probably will last until the second I walk into a MAC store!)
The thing that really gets on my… Okay I’ll keep it clean
OMG I just checked & already some of the Mia Moretti collection is up on eBay & it doesn’t realease for another 7 days! At least it’s not at insane prices… Until it sells out of course!
You probably have them for sure – at least the standalone lipsticks. Perhaps the pastel-y shades in the lip palette aren’t so heavy in your stash 😉
I think I’m safe
royal wink, omg i have not bought anything mac in ages but this one has caught my eye.
It’s a bright blue!
I’m very interested in Royal Wink because it looks similar to the cream eyeshadow in Kat Von D’s Momento Mori palette. These was back when she did the rubberized packaging and is long dried up. I’ve never used a fluidline for eyeshadow, are they any good when used like that? I hope so! My search will be over.
Some of them work well as an eyeshadow, but they are better as eyeliners than eyeshadows from my general experience! They dry down pretty fast, which is what makes them harder to work with as a cream eyeshadow, IMO.
Hollywood Cerise is the only thing I could be interested in, and even that doesn’t looks really unique. I’m indifferent about MAC collections lately. I don’t see anything impressive since last summer.
Maybe later this summer will get you!
Huh, the two pink lipsticks look a lot more similar on the lip. I still like Hollywood Cerise. The highlighter powders look very pretty swatched, and I love the actual design on the powder, with the silver lines carved through it.
Nice, but nothing must-have.
If only those silver lines weren’t over sprays, though. Sigh!
The lipsticks look nice but nothing else really interests me at all
I was surprised they didn’t do more here!
Oh, the lipsticks! I find them so lovely.
Looking forward to see the reviews and the dupes, hopefully I have some dupes 🙂
Fingers crossed you have dupes 😀
The High Light Powders are very pretty to look at. I’ll have to reserve judgement until I (possibly) see them in person though. 🙂
Good plan 🙂
Oh wow, the powders look amazing!
Glad you liked them!
I’m loving the lipstick colors in this collection, and the Royal Wink fluidline, too. Looking forward to your review!
Royal Wink is pretty!
I’ve been looking for a bright blue gel liner! If Royal Wink performs well I think it will be my first MAC purchase in ages. 🙂
Crossing my fingers 🙂
O my god, those lipsticks. Love them, want them, need them 😉
Yayyyyy!
The return of Royal Wink!!! I still have a viable pot of this fluidline and I get compliments EVERY time I wear it.
Niiice!
LOVE Royal Wink. Not a shade you see often on eyeliners, specially gel!
