The Accentuate/Sculpt Duo is definitely the one I’m most excited for! Though it came out awhile ago, I just never had the opportunity to try it.

Happy anniversary Christine! After so many years, your site is still my No.1 go-to for all things beauty! I’m the most excited about Almost Noir Pearl Glide as that’s one shade I didn’t get to pick up when they launched.

So excited for the Accentuate/Sculpt Duo! I was in college the last time it came out with the Dsquared collection and by the time I bought the #165 brush and all 4 mineralize eyeshadows I was broke as a joke!

Ahhh, I would LOVE MAC’s Bright Future. A package from MAC got lost/stolen in transit when that collection came out, and Bright Future was the only product that they weren’t able to replace! Love love love!

I’m most excited about the So Vain Kissable Lip Color – what a lovely peachy nude color 🙂 Would make a nice alternative to dark/vampy colors for autumn 🙂

Yay, I love these Temptalia giveaways! I’m most excited for MAC B Greasepaint Stick, as this is a new product to me that I have never used before. I love trying out new makeup!

The greasepaint stick sounds very much like fun, because I have never tried one of those before. I am also very excited about the nanogold shadow, it is my favorite highlighter shade, and I am almost out 🙂

Mac So Vain Kissble Lipcolour! It’s so beautiful! I don’t have that much makeup since I just started getting into makeup a while back and can’t afford such expensive stuff ><. That lipcolour is so neutral, perfect for everyday!

I am most excited for MAC Something Special Blush because I do not have a lot of blushes. More specifically, I only have one MAC blush, but I absolutely love it. I am really looking to widen my collection, and I love MAC products. 🙂

I’m most excited for MAC B Greasepaint Stick. It’s such a beautiful blue and I can just see a lovely, and quick, smokey eye going on with that.

Priscilla Avatar

This may seem silly, but I really want to try out the straw harvest eyeshadow. Apart from the few duds, you’re usually pretty good in reviewing this brand’s eyeshadows (B’s mostly).

Ashley Sarah Avatar

I am excited for all of them, however, I am definitely looking forward to MAC So Vain, Something Special and Synched Up. I love the shade of Something Special, it’s so pretty! Creme Blushes are nice for a more natural texture.

I’m suuuuper excited for the MAC Almost Noir eyeliner! That is my favorite MAC eyeliner! I’m almost finished with the one I have from about a year ago and I love it! Wish they brought it back

I am most excited for the sculpt and shape powder. I have very chubby cheeks and using an actual powder to chisel out the hollows of my cheekbone would be great!

MAC B Greasepaint Stick.
I’ve never tried this product & Im in love with the UD 27/7 Shadow Pencils, so Im guessing it would be somewhat similar product, well, I hope so 🙂

I’m def. most excited about Bright Future e/s. I don’t have a good yellow eye shadow in my collection except for the ones that come in the 88 palette. Bright Future would be an awesome addition to it 🙂

Omg, the Straw Harvest eyeshadow is the one I’m most eager for! Sooo cute looking, it’d really suit the nude metallics look that I’ve been going for lately. 😀

I’m most excited for the Something Special blush, although I’m honestly pretty excited about all of it — I live on an island, and the nearest MAC store is 650 kilometers away!

MAC Bubbles Lipstick just sounds like it would be soooooooo much fun to wear. I’d go around being like “yeah, I’m wearing bubbles” and my friends would laugh and we’d all skip off to a rainbow (…)haha, today’s been weird!

I want MAC So Vain Kissable lipcolor, MAC Pearlglide eyeliner…!! This looks like a super Diwali bonanza(biggest festival for Indians)…thanks a lot!

Accentuate/Sculpt! I’ve always wanted to try contouring but I have a hard time finding appropriate products – so many bronzers are way dark/warm on someone as fair as me.

MAC Almost Noir Pearlglide Eyeliner is the one I’m most excited about. I love their fluidline and I have always wondered what their eyeliner would be like.

I am EXTREMELY Excited that it is a whole bunch of MAC stuff. Out of it all I REALLY am looking forward to the mac Sculpt if I win, I have been really wanting this!

Joyce Avatar

It’s a tie between Sculpt & So Vain! Sculpt because you’ve said it’s like a contour in a pan!! And So Vain because I REALLY wanted it when it was available…but passed anyway!

Thank you for this!

I wanted to try MAC’s Something Special Blush. I think is has the right amount of coral to suit my skin tone right now that summer is over and I am losing color as fall and winter approaches.

So vain! I’m trying to get more neutral lip colors because I wear dark intense eye looks on date nights and my collection of redredredred is sometimes just a bit too much.

Totally into MAC Nanogold Eyshadow from the spring collection!It’s such a wonderful base for natural looks and it will definitely bring out brown eyes like mine!

I am most excited about the accentuate sculpt duo because I always wanted to purchase but every time I went to go get it, it would be sold out. I had to settle with harmony blush which they said was equivalent, but its just not the same!

Danielle Avatar

i most want the MAC Something Special Blush. I have a hard time finding blush that doesn’t make me look like a clown. that one looks nice and like it would brighten up my face without ending up being too much

Michelle B Avatar
Michelle B

I am excited for everything, as I have only a few MAC products… but I think it’s a tie between the blush and the lipstick for first place. I absolutely adore MAC lipsticks. They smell so good!
Oh, and I’m also a blush addict. 🙂

I’m most excited for the accentuate/sculpt duo! I love contouring, but I don’t actually own a proper highlight! So excited about this giveaway, because I’m in Australia and Mac here is 2-3x the price in the US!!

I’m most excited about the Nanogold eyeshadow. Being a college student in a somewhat conservative school, I can’t wear more daring makeup looks. Nanogold looks like a good eyeshadow for simple and neutral eye looks!

The product I am most excited for is the MAC Accentuate/Sculpt Duo. I have wanted it for some time and it would be so awesome to own.
