I thought that too. Wouldn't it be expired by now? It's been 7 years. :|

**EDIT**I just bought a lipstick with the batchcode A50 and it still smell like Vanilla, nothing rancid. There are tiny perspiration beads on them though, which happened to some of my lipsticks.

Crazy, isn't it?

The amount of money someone would use to buy ONE LE/DC lipstick.

It all looks too tacky for my taste.

The only things I like are the light pink lipglasses, some of the lighter pink lipsticks, and Alpha Girl beauty powder.

Is Alpha Girl similar to Pearl Blossom?
It looks like it from the photos...

Initially when the photos leaked out, I was overwhelmed with everything, but now I'm feeling slightly better. I am getting both the trios for sure, and possibly a beauty powder, but I think I can better handle the lipsticks (not really a gloss girl!). I already have one hot pink lipstick and I never wear it, Fleshpot is a perm PRO shade, and opaque pastel pinks look funny on me. But Lollipop Loving looks really pretty that I think that is a definate bullet on my list! And ever since discovering the joy of pot form liners, I rarely use stick liners.

But how I will feel later on when swatches start appearing is all up in the air! LOL

Agreed. It has a goldish-green iridescence to it, so it should pull like Palatial Lustreglass did, giving your lips that multi-dimensional shimmer.

I was thinking the same thing about the green pearl! It'll make lips look SO juicy, like licking a lollipop! =) I wish they didn't get rid of Palatial, I loved that color because of the green pearl.

I definitely have to get it as well!

AHHH MAC_Whore, you're making me drool!! I think this will be the first time I ever get a back-up!

This is the only MAC collection where I truly want most of it. I love the e/s trios! Gorgeous.

I TOTALLY dig the packaging. Its amazing.

So as far as you can see from the pics there are no mini brushes in the palettes, right? Not sure if that's right or not, either way I'll still get them. I love how the e/s are round like reg e/s not squared or rectangle like the holiday palettes.

I'm thinking since I'm a scaredy-cat for hot pink lips, I'll prob just get Jardin Aires which I passed on the first time around--looks so nice!! Add more to the neutral pigment collection!

I bet you could totally pull off hot pink lips. =) Make-up is all about pushing the boundaries after all!

I have been reading the colour descriptions over and over again, but the only things that I think might spark any interest is the trio #2 (pastel peach and mint green sound yummy) and the pastel pink lipstick. I find the pale shades to be the most versatile because I can change them up with different liners and glosses! I will admit though, it's partly the packaging, i don't particularly like it but the MAC addict in me feels i need something from any collection with special packaging!

Edit: I'm also adding Hollywood Nights to my list! If it's anything like a picture I just saw!

That's correct, there are no brushes with the eye trios.

I LOVE the packaging,so cute.

AtomicMishaps · 02-20-2008, 04:55 PM #**391** (**permalink**)

I'm not really felling any of it. I'm kind of underwhelmed. That being said, I'll probably get the eyeshadow trio's though, because I addicted to MAC eyeshadow pallets and the colors look nice, plus the packaging is really cute.....

I'm glad I'm not the only one who isn't interested in this collection. I keep reading how everyone is so excited for it and want to save their money... Then I look at the swatches and other then the eyeshadow trios I'm really blah about everything else. Oh, except the PRO pigment. Honestly, I think that pigment is the ONLY thing I'm getting from this one. The packaging really turns me off too :S. It reminds me of the fake play make up I had as a kid.
