I’m definitely mostly excited about Deeply Adored. I love the color of the lipstick. It might be a great statement lip for me. If it doesn’t work out for me, I can always get it for my mom. 🙂

I’m so excited about Love Goddess Lipstick I went to my Mac sephora at Les Champs Elysees when I heard the collection was out here in France, but they were already out of this lipstick that I’ve been wanting since they announced the Marilyn monroe collection.
I went to 4 others mac stores but they were all out of this lipstick, its so amazing it’s the perfect combination of red and pink so reminiscent of what Marilyn would have wore in her time.

Wow great giveaway Christine. Thanks for this opportunity. As a university student my beauty fund is not as big as I would like to be able to purchase all the beautiful things my heart desires so winning this giveaway will be amazing. 🙂

I was able to get the How to Marry eyeshadow and Stage Red nail polish. They only had 2 eyeshadows and the nail polishes left at my MAC counter when I stopped by Friday morning. I’m so sad that they sold out of everything so quickly. I would love to win this lot!

I’m most excited for Deeply Adored! I’ve been ON THE HUNT to get it, I’ve tried 5 times & was unsuccessful. I wish people wouldn’t buy so many just to sell it on ebay/amazon for 5x the price it’s not fair 🙁 I’d be so happy if I won this giveaway

Blush, blush, blush…did I happen to mention that I love blush? That and black eyeliner. I am still in pursuit of a black, creamy, eye pencil that goes on like a liquid. I am looking at pencils due to do trying to be more earth friendly and thinking of the clean up on the other end of things.

I’m most excited for legendary, simply because I had such a hard time choosing between the two blushes and I went with the perfect cheek instead 🙂

I’m really bummed I missed another chance to get Scarlet Ibis lipstick! It looks like the perfect color I’ve been searching for! It’s not here, but the item in the give-away I’d love to try is the Love Goddess Lipstick (I’m such a sucker for bright lips!)

So in love with Legendary. I love the soft pink coral blusher. It’s so Marilyn! Would love to get my hands on it. Maybe MAC is now a girl’s best friend?

Becky Avatar

The Perfect Cheek, because it really is my perfect blush, and I’ve been trying to make mine from the last time it was released last as long as possible…but pan is largely visible. I hate that they re-released it in THIS collection, so I had no chance of getting another one!

I love Marilyn and was so disappointed when I went to my local Macy’s last week to find everything was sold out! I am so excited for everything, but most excited for MAC Deeply Adored!

I’m most excited for The Perfect Cheek. It has the image of Marilyn that I like the most out of the collection, and it’s a blush unlike any that I have. Next in line would definitely be Deeply Adored, as I could never get my hands on it as it kept selling out just before my turn in line. The images are really pretty!

It may seem silly but The Perfect Cheek actually looks like THE PERFECT CHEEK! I think it’s such a stunning color and I have nothing like it! I’m also pretty pale and think it looks like an amazing color for these little Snow White cheeks of mine! 🙂

I am most excited for Showgirl! I can’t believe how quickly this line sold out. MAC could have probably made 5x what they did and they still would have sold out.

I am so looking forward to the Marilyn Monroe Adorned Lipstick, It would mean a lot if I won because my moms birthday is coming up and she is obsessed with makeup and I actually wanted to buy her this collection but it sold out so quickly and I cant find it anywhere. I would love to surprise her with this gift!

I’m definitely most excited for Love Goddess lipstick. I feel like it looks absolutely incredible on olive skin tones, and it’s gorgeous paired with Pink Lemonade lipglass, surprisingly. I tried it on in store and loved it, but it was sold out! =[

I would have to say Love Goddess. I’ve only had one red lipstick before and it was too dark. I’ve always wanted to try a red that will look good on me. I’ve tried numerous times to order the Marilyn stuff to no avail so this giveaway is awesome!!

Deeply Adored is seriously a stunning color. I don’t know why I shy away from brown-toned reds, they’re so flattering on just about everyone! Would definitely be excited to have it in my collex 😀
