I really liked the Couture collection, actually! I liked Neo Sci Fi a lot, so I’d love to see something similar, but different (though in the same vein).

The ‘N’ Collection! perfect neutrals, I LOVE 2N, still always in my handbag!
Well I am a rather recent addict (2 years), but I absolutely LOVED the naughty nauticals collection last year.
naughty nauticals, the N collection and the tendertones LOL I just loved tendertones
C-shock! I love vibrant colours =) And I’m really bummed that I missed the Barbie collection, too….
c-shock is still available at PRO-stores. (at least at he one in Los Angeles)
Naughty nauticals!
Also, fafi because I’m almost out of cult fav
The “N” Collection here, too!
I LOVE neutral shades, but with a little twist, and I found it the perfect wearable collection…
the tendertones!!!! and smoke signals
Smoke Signals and the ‘N’ Collection
N, C-Shock, and Salsabelle, possibly also Madame B
Definitely the N collection, and also the Originals (if I remember correctly, that’s when Parrot e/s is part of) collection.
MAC comes out with Tendertones every year don’t they?
Moonbathe! I loved that collection. And I want more Afterdusk Blush!
N Collection!
I still want to get my hands on those lipsticks.
Danse, D’Bohemia and Neo Sci Fi!
C Shock and Cool Heat! I love bright e/s!! <3
Fafi, I’m a sucker for Fafi
Barbie and N!
Difficult one !! I loved the N Collection, those were perfect colors for me. I also like the Rachel Welsh Icon collection, Flashtronic, Lure, Sundressing and Neo Sci-Fi among others 🙂
Oh, I forget Heatherette and Fafi, they had some really nice stuff in their collection !!
I missed out on Barbie loves MAC and I reallllly want several products, so I hope that collection will come back.
HEATHERETTE
Overrich pigments!
C-Shock and Smoke Signals, just because I got into MAC right after they came out and I love what I’ve seen of it.
Cult of Cherry
C-Shock
Madame B
Salsabelle
Actually, everything from CoC going backward. I got interested in MAC after they were released 🙂
C-shock and the McQueen collection just for Pharoah paint pot. Even if it’s just for a day. I’ll buy that in bulk thank you vurr much.
Moonbathe (Love me some Firespot…missed it last time!)
Naughty Nauticals (LOOOVVVEEE Ensign and Love Knot Lippies!)
C-Shock – with colours that have more payoff
Lure – coz I only bought one item and want more
Neo Sci Fi – this time around I will buy more
I’d love to see Pigment versions of the legendary eyeshadows. Can you imagine a pigment Parrott?
High Tea, D’Bohemia, and Barbie
My favorite was the Couture and the N collections!
Lure and Madame B…I really miss those!
C-Shock! I love bright colors!
N Collection and their collabo with Playboy
Cool Heat and Smoke Signals – for some strange reason I didn’t get anything from those collections, I don’t know what i was thinking.
Actually, I wouldn’t like any collection to be back. I love the way it is now. I adore to be surprised, always taken by surprise, I adore discovery and new things and I’d be really annoyed as hell if they were re-making an event of something already done (exactly the same C-Shock? The same Cult of Cherry? That’d be a disappointment to me!). I suppose anyway that is Mac was ever making ‘Heatherette II’ or ‘Hello Kitty II’ (to take 2 examples), that’d be with totally different colors and packagings!
I realize I’m going to be the only one to respond this but… that’s what I think!
The N collection im a sucker for neutrals i just love the natural look!
N collection (wasn’t into MAC at that time) and C-shock (I want to get the blue lippy! 🙁 )!
I would love to see Heatherette, Fafi, Barbie Loves MAC and Naughty Nauticals, and Cool Heat again since I missed out on those awesome collections! I would love to see Cult of Cherry again since I really want the Spiced Chocolate Quad that I’ve had my eye on for awhile!
Jacqueline – try calling GBNF! The number is 800 216 7173. They JUST found the tempting pallete for me ( which is also from the cult of cherry collection!)
Barbie – I missed out on that one. I definitely wouldn’t mind seeing Naughty Nauticals come back either – that was a great and very overlooked collection imo.
You always have the best surveys! Thanks!
The lure collection! I actually just got “Waternymph” eyeshadow through the Gone But Not Forgotten! The website said they can’t locate limited edition items, but Waternymph was limited edition from 3 years ago! They also found a Cult of Cherry palette I missed out on in September! I definitely suggest calling GBNF if you missed out old collections! 🙂 especially if they were able to find something from 3 years ago
I actually agree with Nathalie, and don’t really want any collection to come back, but I did really love Patternmaker and would definitely buy a ton of stuff if it were to reappear! I bought a few things when it was released but only realized how much I wanted more + backups after it was too late!
N collection, Salsabelle & Heatherette…
n collection ( i love nude colors)…cult of cherry cause i’m into red lipsticks and would love to buy the lipglasses…red she said ( regret not buying red she said lipstick) raquel welsch collection because my friend got me into her amazon quad…overrich for blonde’s gold and fafi for all the paint pots…i just bought rollickin
N Collection, Naturally Eccentric and Smoke Signals!!!
Neo-Sci fi (i managed to get every everything at CCO)…
Moonbathe…(i managed other wordly but still hunting “firespot”)…
You can find Firespot on AllCosmeticsWholesale.com. It does cost $30 obviously cause it’s discontinued but it may be worth it to you. Their stuff is legit & a lot of YouTube reviewers have done hauls from them so you can check them out of more info if you want. I’ve been very happy with the items I got from the Neo Sci Fi & Moonbathe collections through them.
Anything with lots of neutrals and pinks…. Barbie, N, Neo Sci Fi, Moonbathe, etc…. But they always come out with these collections so I’m good to go :D!! I also really liked Cool heat (or whatever it was called?) I am a sucker for slimshines and even though I only bought one of the blues, they were all so beautiful!!
I seriously want to see something extremely brutal back — I’m sick of these collections that play it safe with ‘wearable’ colors. I want to see something like C-Shock come back, hell I want them to come out with neon pigmented lipsticks, that would be AMAZING
My favorite collection was also the Neo Sci-Fi…I was thinking that the Style Warriors Collection looked similar minus the Vibrant Grape.
C-shock all the way
more starflash eyeshadows (smoke and diamonds)
more dazzleglasses
smoke signals
suite array…. if only for the eyeliners alone!
N Collection & Tendertones
Lure and Balloonacy for me!
I also think it would be boring if MAC brought back any past collection, but I’d love to see some popular shades being repromoted…a new collection of nude colours would be nice, too.
Anyone really craving for some past collection items should really check AllCosmeticsWholesale.com. Some items you can get great prices on & others are selling for a bit more since they are discontinued, but if you really, really want it then it might be worth it for you. For example, they have Firespot eyeshadow, but it’s going for $30. Prob. cause it’s so wanted by everyone. I got some items from the Moonbathe & Neo Sci Fi collection & was so happy with what i got. Totally legit products, not fakes & many people have done YouTube reviews & hauls of stuff they have gotten from them so i suggest you all check it out. You’ll be shocked at some of the oldies but goodies you will find.
whoa! best site ever! thanks!
I would love to see them bring back Adorn, but reformulate EVERYTHING because those eyeshadows? Bad finish. Also Tantress, Belle Azure, C-Shock, Lure, and especially Rebelrock and Rock It. I mainly want Adorn though for the shadows that would be way better in a non-lustre finish, Oh Garnet and Ruby Darling lipsticks, and the IPP’s.
I wouldn’t mind High Tea or Danse either. Salsabelle would be nice, and I would like to see more good orange-y eyeshadows, ie Firespot, Orange Tangent, Sunsplosion, and so forth.
Naughty Nauticals, c-shock and the mattene collection.
Also I would love to see Queen’s Sin in a repromote! I’m still utterly in love with the Antiqutease packaging! Mac needs better special packaging! (YAY for style warriors!)
Alexander McQueen collection, the lip stuff was amazing.
It is really hard to choose but I will say C-shock (I love those bright colors), Barbie, alexander mc queen or naughticals.
Barbie and Playboy-I missed both, unfortunately!
I actually love Neo Sci-Fi, too!!!! The shadows that were released were truly amazing!!!! Most, if I remember well, were Veluxe Pearl, a very beautiful shimmery finish, and so the shadows looked so well together! Expensive Pink is one of the nicest shadows for sure, and Evening Aura is very cool, too!
I also loved the warm glosses and lipsticks; warm colors are so typical for lips, but these were unique in a way!!!! And the Nail Lacquers were just FAB!
I’m not so sure if it’s my fave collection, though…I’m currently so in love with A Rose Romance, I think it might become my all time fave. I’m just LOVING the combination of purples, white, and gray with Mutiny!!! Mutiny is such a beautiful pigment!!!!!!!
C-Shock. 10000000% with nothing redone. I loved that entire collection.
smoke signals was one of my favorites
i want playboy and barbie loves mac since those are from along time ago , and i also want cool heat, naughty nauticals, fafi, heatherette since i wasnt into mac last year- dummy me!
oh and cult of cherry only to get the spiced chocolate quad and maybe check out their lippies.
also bring in some more diff starflash eyeshadows! and mineralized e/s .
oh and cant forget the tendertones- hopefully they will bring them back this summer and make them permanen like the dazzleglasses, b.c iv never tried a tendertone, but i hear their very popular
BARBIE LOVES MAC- EVERYTHING
STRANGE HYBRID – LIPSTICKS
SMOKE SIGNALS – EYE SHADOWS
FUTURE EARTH – VOLCANIC ASH SCRUB
BLUE STORM – EYE SHADOWS
MOONBATHE – BLUSHES
NEO SCIFI- NAIL POLISHES
N COLLECTION – LIPSTICKS
MC QUEEN – PAINTPOTS
Don’t like the idea of doing same thing/same products either but, the collections that I really liked best were:
– Fafi (hands down my very fave)
– Blue Storm
– Alexander McQueen
– C-Shock
– Smoke Signals
I sometimes did not buy some items I should have been picking up from past collections… Don’t know what I was thinking back then (maybe I wasn’t into a color, etc). Have been paying lots of $$$ buying from e-bay the past while bc can’t bear/regret not having a product/color. That’s why I’m way more careful and buy more products when collections are out so that I don’t pay 3-4 times the price and also saves time on searching all over for it!
smoke signals
n collection
neo sci fi
moothbathe
lure
danse
new starflash colors – love the formula – hated the colors
matte2 — the formula is amazing – they should have more colors
N collection, I love it!
N collection, and starflash!
lure, sweetie cake and barbie please!
Diana Ross collection. I am so missing that gloss in Sunny Boy.
just bring back Pink Maribu lipstick (from the Lingerie collection years ago) and I will be happy!!!
Neo-Sci Fi, Fafi, Heatherette, and the N Collection.
I can’t believe I didn’t grab all that I could at that time. Who cares if I went broke! Buahaha.
Barbie Loves Mac most definately, I want the chance to see this collection so badly. C-Shock would be great too because the eyeshadows look so fun!
Barbie!!! it was before i discovered mac so i was too dumb to get it. still kicking myself
Neo Sci-Fi!
It came out in the dark ages i didn’t discover MAC yet =P
I’d love to see C-Shock, Cool Heat and the Fafi range (paint pots) released again – I missed some of the products from those ranges and would love to check some of them out. I’d also really like to see the range that had Pharoah paintpot – I like the sound of Pharoah paintpot but I wasn’t into paintpots when it came out and would really like to get it!
This is a hard question.
I love the Smoke Signal quads, I bought both and I never regret this purchase. I hope that MAC releases a similar collection with quads in one color family. Like just green or purple shades.
I like the N Collection, too. But the shades are to warm for me, so I wish MAC releases more brown and beige shades with a Satin finish and a cooler undertone.
C-Shock! I missed out on it! I also wouldn’t complain if they brought back Hello Kitty sometime haha.
C-Shock and Barbie!!!!!
This is totally dating myself, as I now realize how long ago it’s been since I began buying MAC.
– Salsabelle
– Lingerie
– Madame B
– She Shines
– Smoke Signals
– Barbie Loves MAC
Diana Ross Pink Brushes we need thoese back Asap.Barbie Loves Mac and we need another hello kitty but with differnt colors and Differnt packageing.
Holiday 2007/Antiquitease Collections. Those colors were right up my alley and nothing has touched Queen’s Sin since.
I would love to see Blue Storm again.
First and foremost, The Cuisine Collection from 2001. This is the collection responsible for the fantastic Hot + Sour paint. I would also love to see the Playboy collection revamped, and last but not least The Future Earth Collection and the wonderful MAC Volcanic Ash Exfoliator so I can buy 100 jars and keep them ALL to myself.
I would cut off my right arm for “Sunny Boy” Lipglass that was part of the Diana Ross collection in 2005. I’ve scoured ebay with no luck. That was the BEST corally gloss ever. MAC has brought back so many other things but nothing was like that color. Believe me…I own about 20 – 25 glosses in shades of coral, orange, peach but have been unable to find that exact shade. sigh.
I would also like another shot at N Collection, Salsabelle, C Shock and maybe Barbie Loves MAC.
N collection and smoke signals!! PLEEAAASSEEE!!!
