"The Originals" discussion

[Karen_B]

I'm just surprised they aren't bringing back old LE or discontinued items, but rather repromoting things that are already available (as seems to be the case with pigments). It's not even about people who missed the first time getting a second chance to get popular items then.

[Aerynna]

I ADORE Sequin and Fluid lipsticks, so I was sooooooooo excited to see "new and improved" versions of the same, but Lustre? Pfft. I'm out.

[Twinkle_Twinkle]

Well I for one have heard of a lot of these shades. For those of you who haven't but want to collect and lust after the collections of MAC Whore and others, you should be really happy that some of these shades are coming back. It gives you a chance to beef up your collection with oldies but goodies. Ochre was originally a screw top shadow.

Sure everyone wants Deckchair and Coco Beach, but those aren't even that old; they were just released a few years ago. The collection is called "The Originals" folks. And if you don't like the sound of it, there will be 82 more LE Collections to grab your attention this year, so no worries. I will say this, why "release" pigments that we already have? I guess just to show that they've been around a while? And which blushes are being released?!?! Please say Foolish Me and Reed, I need a backup of that.

I agree. While I am puzzled about the pigment thing, I am curious about the eyeshadows and will be excited to see them (and possibly purchase one, or all, of them, LOL!)

I have heard quite a bit about Pervette, so am keen to see what that looks like.

But...WHYYYY do they keep repromoting Kitchmas?? It's such a horrible pigment, die already, die pigment!!!

[ARmakeupjunkie]

I was just looking at the thread with the color description for the eyeshadows included in the Originals collection and I have to wonder, how many shades of grey can one company come up with? Don't get me wrong, I like grey but is it just me or has MAC wear out the color grey?

Does anyone know if this collection will have special packaging?

[Twinkle_Twinkle]

Oh great! I was hoping to see what these looked like in person.

To be honest, I don´t think MAC wears out greys, since there aren´t that many true grey e/s or pigments. But I´ll tell you something about blues/aquas/teals — these are colors MAC can´t get enough of! Come on, Parrot? I know, I know, it´s almost blasphemy to say that in Specktra...But how much bright blue/aqua eyeshadow can a woman wear?

I chuckled at this, mostly because of your avatar

I have to agree with the bright blue/aqua thing but as fair as the grey goes, there might not be that many that are true grey nevertheless they all still manage to look the same on me.

Oh my! Aquas, teals and blues are the bomb. It's like red lipstick, you'll never stop looking for the perfect shade and will find a way to justify every variation in every finish. I love that color family. I wish we could get more greens though, but I am happy with Wondergrass. Thank you MAC!
