Nothing. I dont buy at each collection and hadnt planned to get anything from this collection when it get announced last summer. Sometimes Im just not tempted at all and even get bored by the constant racing MAC impose. I might adore black and wear the color on my eyes for a decade already, I wont get anything from Style Black. I think that my black paint pot, my carbon e/s, my khôls, and the various pigments I use to bring vibrancy to black are better than everything they proposed that time. As for lips, Im not someone who usually enhance my lips a lot so I will also skip the black lipsticks. Concerning nail polishes, they really are the only things that tempt me, but 13€ ($19) for one single bottle of polish is too expensive for me.

Well, Im waiting for it to be online here in France. As for now its not out so…

It will depend on my budget. I almost have what I needed for my must have and if I get a bit more money ill get more.

So my Must have that ill get for sure:

Black knight
Night Violet
Blackfire
Blackware
Baby goth girl
Young Punk
Gilt by Association
Blue Flame
Volcanic Ash Exfoliator

If I can have a bit more, ill chose between those products what ill add to my haul:

Midnight Media
Cinderfella
Grease paint stick black
VA thermal mask

This is the first (and probably the only) time Ill spend so much in make up. But being kinda goth/punk, I just couldnt miss that one

I understand you completely, if i could i would by EVERYTHING!!!! so i really dont know what ill be able to skip on this one, everything looks amazing, since i LOVE black!!!! guess i have to check it in person before i make any decisions!

Musingonbeauty Avatar

I need to see the stuff in person (not released yet in Europe) but I am thinking: a lot. The 4 eyeshadows for sure, and the grease paints.
I already have Illamasquas black intense lipgloss so Ill pass on the lipstick.

Bethany Avatar

Ill be grabbing:

The 3 MES
Baby Goth Girl n/p
Seriously Hip n/p
Blackware
Blackfire
Grease Paint Stick
Midnight Media
Black Knight
Night Violet

Maybe:
Bling Black

Ill probably have to pick up a dark lip liner for the lipstick.

Anitacska Avatar

Ill definitely get all 4 of the mineralize shadows, probably the VAE, and maybe the Night Violet lippie, but need to see that in person first. The collection isnt out in the UK yet, so itll be at least another week before I can check it out.

Hi Christine,

I saved some money for this collection. Here is my list:

– All 4 eye shadows
– Grease Paint Stick (2x)
– All 3 Glimmerglasses
– Volcanic Ash Exfoliator (2x)
– Midnight Media lipstick (thanks to you!:))
– Seriously Hip and Baby Goth Girl nail polish

The last black lipglass that MAC has launched was years ago. I still have Tux-De-Lux and love it. Thanks for all the swatches and reviews. You are the best. 🙂

Nothing. I’m not nearly as impressed with the eyeshadows as I’d hoped (having to use something wet is just way too fussy) and I don’t think anything else looks very nice. I love black, but this just isn’t for me.

Christy Avatar

VAE, VATM, the 3 glimmerglasses, Black Knight, Seriously Hip, Baby Goth Girl, 3 greasepaint sticks, Black CCB and all 4 eyeshadows. Part of it I bought online while the rest I’m getting today. I am just thankful that I got a gift card to use towards the CCB, VAE, VATM and 2 of the greasepaint sticks. Then I’m B2M for Black Knight. At the same time I’m picking up 3 dazzleglass creams, which I get to B2M for as well.

Seriously Hip Nail Polish
Volcano Ash Exfoliator

If I have any extra money I will get Baby Goth Girl nail polish and Volcano Warming mask. I also want to get some dazzlecremes but I need to see some swatches and save up some money also for the Dsquared2 collection next week!

Alexis Avatar

Picking up after work:

Blue Flame
VAE
Bat Black CCB
Black Grease paint

I’ll have to play around with it to see what stays and what gets cut
hopefully I won’t be adding on…but my regular MAC girls know how to add-on sell to me =(

Hanna Avatar

I ordered online on tuesdays adn didn’t really get that much but i am excited for it to get here;
I ordered 2 x Volcanic Ash Exfoliator and 1 Mask. I have bever tried them but I though what the heck. That’s really all i ordered.

I am going to a mac pro next week to check out the eyeshadows. if I like them I might back2mac for 1 or 2. The greasestick is also on my mind but i am gonna wait to see what people think and then maybe order it when the DSquared coll. comes out

& a big maybe on
Blue Flame MES

& I may break down and get trendy with
Black Knight L/S & Blackware G/G

However in the new MAC video, the artist

That be it! Peace!

Tami Avatar

I ordered the Volcanic Ash Exfoliator and Thermal mask on the website. My hubby will be taking me to Macys tomorrow so I have my eye on Seriously Hip and Baby Goth Girl polishes, Blackfire gloss, black grease stick and Night Violet lipstick.

Natalia Avatar

This is only a wishlist, which I hopefully will get later on because I literally dont have any moolah =/ *crosses fingers*

*All the mineralized eyeshadows
*Both polishes
** Would love to get VAE and TM because I hear everyone raving about it and want to try it for myself

Faheema Avatar

Hmmm honestly not much… This is actually a good thing considering at the mo i own way tooo much mac and way more than what i actually use tehe… but doesnt everyone 😛 And I also dont want to buy much cause I brought quite a lot from the make up art cosmetics collection!
What i definitely want is Volcanic Ash Exfolatior… after reading the review on here a while ago I got so excited so yay cause I can finally buy it (hopefully!)… I would prob buy the mask aswelll.
What also is of interset to me is the grease paint stick. I might just have to take a visit to my local mac counter and find out more 🙂

virion_butterfly Avatar

For sure list:
Young Punk E/S
Blackfire glimmerglass
Night Violet lipstick

Maybe list:
Cinderfella, Blue Flame, Gilt by association E/S
Thermal mask

Cherokee Avatar

Darn it girl. It acutally launched yesterday on line. I added two in my shopping cart but ran to Macys after work today. Maybe you have a friend or relative that lives close to a MAC store or counter that could pick it up for you. You could always order on line at Nordstrom or Macys. So get to it.

Adam Avatar

atfirst i wanted EVERYTHING…but i have other stuff i need to get from mac aswell and decided i dont NEED everything.
but i plan on getting Black Knight L/S, Blackware G/G, smolder, and possible the grease paint stick. EVENTUALY i will get bat black CCB but thats i nthe regular line anyway, and also im thinking about the 2 mattenes, mostly midnight media.

Cherokee Avatar

I purchased 2 Volanic Ash Exfoliator and Volanic Ash Thermal Mask. I really don’t want to spend lots of money on products I am not going to get good use of. I don’t collect makeup for the sake of collecting. It is a waste of money.

Brigitte Avatar

I was absofreakinglutely enthused about this collection and then ehhhh I don’t know… maybe I had heard about it for too long, and the passion died. Realistically I wouldn’t wear a black lipstick. If I wanted black lips I could do lipliner and gloss on top for the same effect if it came down to it. Anyway, what I got:

VAE x3
VATM x2
Young Punk – B2M
Cinderfella – B2M
Greasepaint Stick

Deedee Avatar

i actually bought the volcanic ash exfoliator and the thermal mask. I got the grease paint stick, bling black, blackfire, and black knight.

But this is subject to additions, as I have to go back Monday for DSquared and to take a good look at the dazzleglass cremes.

Miss_M Avatar

I don’t know if I’m getting anything from Style Black since I’m not really blown away by this ‘goth’ collection. Maybe I’m getting a nailpolish and the thermal mask and/or exfoliator, but that’s it.
