More Alexander McQueen for MAC Info and Images
Back in June '07 I brought you the scoop on the Alexander McQueen for MAC Color Collection. Today I can share with you higher quality promotional images of the collection which is set to be on counters in North America on October 4th. Everything in this collection, except the eyebrow pencil, is Limited Edition.
McQueen's inspiration for this collaboration with MAC Cosmetics was Elizabeth Taylor's makeup in the motion picture film Cleopatra circa 1963.
Paint Pots
Pharoah
Otherworldly

Electro Sky
Eyeshadow
Nile

Haunting

Pagan
Lipstick
Masque

Archtype
Lipglass
Nothingless

White Magic
Kohl Power
Feline

Black Karat

Jealous
Eyebrow Pencil
MSF
New Vegas
Lashes
#20

Box packaging (courtesy amyopoly.com)
Are you getting excited yet!?  What are the items are going to haul from this collection? I'm definitely feeling Pagan and Nile eyeshadows, Pharoah paint pot and Masque Lipstick!

Re: More Alexander McQueen for MAC Info and Images
Thanks for the pics!
I'm not sure if this collection is doing it for me. I will get New Vegas, but the other colours seem blah to me. Maybe they will look hotter in person.

Re: More Alexander McQueen for MAC Info and Images
I was more excited for this before I saw how much I want from the Holiday sets. From this collection I'm definately getting Jealous, probably Pagan, and MAYBE MAYBE Otherworldly paint pot.

Re: More Alexander McQueen for MAC Info and Images
I'm not feeling this collection that much either. The more I look at the collection the more I don't want to get stuff. I will for sure get New Vegas and Feline. That's pretty much it.

Re: More Alexander McQueen for MAC Info and Images
I played around with the collection in the stock room last week and I must say  . The glosses are very pretty, and all of the Kohl Power Pencils. I'll most likely buy those. Other than that, I can do without it. It was a great concept, though.

Re: More Alexander McQueen for MAC Info and Images
Im not too excited about the products, although I really do like the concept. I wonder what kinds of awesome collections mac would come out with if they choose to be inspired by diff movies!

Re: More Alexander McQueen for MAC Info and Images
The Paint Pots and the Kohl Powers are about the only things that interest me. I may pick up New Vegas just for kicks.

Re: More Alexander McQueen for MAC Info and Images
two of the eyeshadows are mislabelled. Nile is the purplish blue one, and haunting is the sea blue one

Re: More Alexander McQueen for MAC Info and Images
I stopped into my local friendly MAC and low and behold, there it was! I picked up Pharoh, Pagan, Otherworldly, Haunting and Masque. It is really cool in person!!

Re: More Alexander McQueen for MAC Info and Images
Not so wild about this collection. Maybe the pink lipgloss and lipstick. It seems like it would be a hot collection just to own Mcqueen for MAC, but for the longevity of the colors...not so much.
