do you have pictures we can look at from that collection?
MAC make-up art cosmetics collection is my favorite!! I love the quads and the blushes.
I haven’t been following makeup for that long, but hands down Tsumori Chisato for Shu Uemura Holiday ’09.
Naughty Nauticals was sooo pretty too.
hello kitty and sugarsweet for me 🙂
Haven’t stuck around long enough to see a collection that I really, really love (“of all time” seems to apply more than a couple years).
Still waiting around to see… =D
Probably MAC D’Bohemia for me!
MAC – Colour Craft, just the Blushes – bought every one and they ALL suit me! Thank god for yellow AND pink undertones.
MAC – STYLE BLACK is my ALL time favourite though. bought atleast one of EVERYTHING and i mean EVERYTHING from that collection. doubles of the shadows and greasepaint 😀
i like MAC naked honey and the current Chanel collection.
My all-time fav collection has to be MAC’s Smoke Signal. Both the palettes were awesome!
In more recent times, I would have to say MAC’ Style black because I love black! I also loved MAC’s Lure collection (I think that is what it was called). The funny thing is that I didn’t buy anything from it because I was totally broke when it came out. I’ve never gotten over that. Lol
Style Black
I think it´s MAC blond, brunette and redhead!
i have to agree… mac blonde brunette redhead collection!!!!!!!!!!!! i got everything from it !
Jeez, that’s a really difficult question !!
I really liked the Rachel Welch Icon collection, but I also loved Flashtronic, N Collection, Fafi, Heatherette, Neo Sci-Fi and A Rose Romance.
Moon Bathe and Lure, loved both, quality of products was still great too
i wish i could see pictured of everything from that collection .
MAC Hello Kitty is for sure my favorite collection 🙂
I have not been around for that long, but in retrospect I’m really liking my MAC Neo Sci Fi-s!
Smashbox Tokidoki….I just loved everything, and I still use my Stellina mirror every day. I am always checking eBay for replacements, since my glosses are used up and I broke my eye palette…..
Beautyticket.com has the lip stuff and mirror and bunch from the tokidoki (<3) collection
Hmmmmmm for packaging probably Fafi or Heatherette.
For products, Naughty Nautical. I loved 85% of everything that came out with that launch
I’ve not been into Mac or other high end make up for a long time, maybe just 2 years, so I used not to pay attention to collections, but so far my favourite one was Guerlain Midnight Butterfly collection. I loved the promo images and the eyeshadow quad and voyage powder were just so pretty. 🙂 My favourite Mac collections were Electroflash (that’s when I got into Mac) and Colour Craft.
I liked Ne0-Sci Fi collection a lot. Close second is Cult of Cherry. I was not very much into MAC during Moonbathe tym, but did manage to bag every color…it was indeed a gorgeous collection!!
MAC Cult of Cherry.
A favorite collection???? I know I bought the most EVER with Makeup Artists Collection by MAC but I would Cult of Cherry from MAC is when I fell in love hardcore and started trying, experimenting and talking to MUAs, so that will always be my favorite.
Thanks for choosing my question!. =)
Its hard to choose only one but so far its been Styles Warrior because it had a lil bit of everything.
MAC’s Salsabelle!
Mac Style Black
The Mac Hello Kitty & Kouture collection.
My little girl loves hello kitty, and I remember when I used to look at the promo pictures online, she would see them and say, “ooh I want that mommy!” (She was 3 at the time). So for valentine’s day that year I ended up getting her the doll. She was so excited lol! This collection reminds me of that day. =)
I don’t actually have one, but my favorite limited edition products are lithograph fluid line and the sculp and shape duo’s (even though you can buy them individually at pro, i prefer the duo)
things I never buy from collections are the minerlized products
MAC Barbie
Barbie loves MAC, it was the first collection I ever bought the entire collection.
Fafi for MAC! One of the only collections I kept coming back to (and ended up with almost everything!). Also Strawbaby is one of my all time favorite colors, I wish wish it were permanent!
Haven’t been paying attention to collections all that long. Really though, I own several products from Blonde, Brunette, Redhead, adn miss several more I couldn’t get! And I’m still lusting after several paintpot shades that were in a collection a few years back. I think it was the one with Steve Mcqueen? I don’t really remember, but hte colors were bright, adn awesome! And I’m still sad to have missed Cult of Cherry.
Neo Sci-Fi was my favorite – love the colors! X-Rocks My World! :p Hello Kitty was also popular with me but that was more because of the packaging than anything.
MAC Hello Kitty and Cult of Cherry
I L.O.V.E.D. Cool Heat !!! Those eye shadows were all my fav colors!
I don’t really have one because there are so many I have a hard time keeping track but from recent memory it would be MAC Colour Craft and MAC Makeup Art Collection.
from 2005 – MAC’s Diana Ross Collection.
Cult of Cherry stands out, although I wasn’t working when it came out, so I was limited in what I could get. Would ahve bought the whole thing…
Style Black was a favourite because it was so different from other collections (can you tell I’m all about the vampy lips?)
Also remember a holiday one from years back that had a lot of great items- first time I remember seeing Black Tied or Beauty Marked.
MAC originals collection
All by MAC: Fafi for the bright colors, Smoke Signals and Black Style for the darker, smoky colors!
MAC Starflash & Love That Look because Starflash eyeshadows are my favorite texture.
MAC Neo Sci-Fi for sure!! Loved the packaging and products (especially x-rocks blush, femme-fi eyeshadow)
i really loved the smoke signals collection a couple years back (2007?). i thought the quads were so classic and practical. sadly….i never managed to get my hands on either of them. have been searching ever since, but i was too late i guess. still think it was the best. i would have used those 2 quads every day.
I fell in love with MAC with the Hello Kitty and Kouture Kitty lines. After that I got addicted. I didn’t realize that MAC would keep pumping out collection after collection. I was a MAC virgin that had just lost her will after that…
My fav collection of all time is Shanghai lily (I thinks that’s the name) by nars and neo sci fi by mac. A close second is bbr….
I’d have to go with mac lure collection. Love the colors and packaging. The first collection I really bought from.
MAC Cult of Cherry
Dior “Cristal” (summer 2009). I bought EVERYTHING, even the Asia exclusives thanks to Ebay.
MAC Smoke Signals! No palette has ever come close to replicating the colors.
MAC Hello Kitty 🙂
For me it’s MAC Fafi. I knew of the artist before the launch, which made even cooler. I also loved MAC Hello Kitty, and Barbie Loves MAC.
BBR.
Lure. <3 God I wish they would just repromote the whole colletion.
I have not been following makeup collections since I started reading your blog 🙂 If I had to pick one it would either be from Chanel or Dior.
Belle Azure.
I was a really late bloomer getting into MAC (was using mostly Marcelle till I was 27) but since then Neo Sci Fi first and Cool Heat second. I’m still trying to gather all the products I didn’t pick up from those two.
MAC C-Shock from 2007. I remember going up to the MAC counter for the first time and thinking to myself “*This* is makeup?!”. I didn’t buy anything but it definitely sparked my love of cosmetics. :3
FINALLY someone said C-Shock, hahahaha. I bought every eyeshadow save two plus some of the lip stuff.
C-Shock and Lure, definitely.
I love the MAC holiday Magic, Mirth, and Mischief.
Guerlain winter 2007
Tricky question 😉
It’s hard for me to choose one, but definitely MAC wins this competition, particularly Smoke Signals and Naughty Nauticals collections.
MAC Lingerie collection
n collection!
oh gosh that’s a hard question! i would have to say cool heat or naughty nauticals!!!
MAc Style Black
and
MAc Heatherette <3
