Thanks for the info. When and where can one vote?

Why on earth are they bringing back Rose Romance and Sugarsweet!? Not a fan of those collections. Unless, we're talking about Lollipop Loving of course. I will probably vote for products from the oldest collections since I was not around then.

Oooh Fafi...I shall hope and pray that they bring back Perky Paint Pot.

Or maybe it`s refined and perfect topping msfs from sugarsweet, that would be nice!

Exactly. Printed boxes just require absorbing the extra costs for printing (4-colour vs. 2-colour). Special packaging would involve purchasing different dyes for the plastic resin, which can have large minimum quantities attached, and charges for any printing on the packaging. It's way more expensive.

Funny, I was thinking that Some Like It Hot (also my favourite MM movie) would be a great name for a red lippie. Maybe Sugar Kane for a softer pink. The possibilities are vast...

Thanks! I have to say that that's a really unnecessarily complicated way of doing things. Why not just launch 10 products at once? I'm wondering if the launch will be simply the top choices, or if Mac will take the top choices from each category- shadows, blushes, lipsticks, etc. I kind of suspect it'll be the latter.

I was sort of surprised by those too, since both collections seemed to hang around for a very long time, so I assumed they weren't that successful. I'd assume from Sugar Sweet that they'd be looking at the MSFs, particularly Perfect Topping.

Personally, I was surprised to see Blonde, Brunette, Redhead in there, because so many of the products from that collection have been repromoted already, or have easy dupes within the regular collection.

But what really surprised me was seeing the image for Colour Ready in there. That collection was all permanent items! http://www.temptalia.com/mac-cosmetics-colour-ready-collection-information-photos

Anyway, I'll be curious to see what items make the list and which ones make the cut.

Thanks for the information! I'm excited about this, and I hope genuinely awesome products get chosen. I am surprised by some of the collections chosen, but I know one or two products from Hello Kitty would sell out very quickly. I would like to try Perfect Topping MSF, but I think I just like the name  I'm also excited to see Naughty Nauticals in there. I will definitely be voting for Port Red!

Thank you so much for this info Pinkdollface. I need to re-look at everything. I'm excited!!
 

I have to ask, can anyone tell me by looking at the pics what collections we will be voting for? I only recognize Hello Kitty and A Rose Romance. Guess I wasn't an "addict" when the others came out.

I can tell you some of them, though I don't recognize all of them. Fafi, Blonde Brunette Redhead, Naked Honey, Smoke Signals, Naughty Nauticals, Cool Heat, and Sugar Sweet. I'm not sure about the other pictures though. I've been looking up the color stories for them today to decide what to vote for.
 

OMG perfect topping is my favorite MSF for highlighting!

Somehow I thought that the products would involve us specktrettes voting.... tripping, right?

The return of the green wig! ROFL
 

soo it's an online only collection? with 5 five big products repromoted? Uff we don't have an online store!

I hope Show Orchid isn't one of the products picked. It gets repromoted all the time besides being a Pro item, so that would be a wasted opportunity for products that haven't been around in years.

Cult of Cherry is in there too :) There were some amazing products with that, the quads were quite nice!

Ooh I'd love to get a Cult of Cherry product! I still hear about how awesome the Spiced Chocolate quad and Jampacked lipglass are. Actually, looking back at swatches, a lot of the CoC products look amazing. 

The starflash es are there too, the large picture with the woc  and the collection with honey stuff, salve, etc

I want warming trend es from Cool heat, it`s been on my wishlist for a while

OMG  I so want Melt In Your Mouth Cremesheen Glass to be repromoted!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesssss!

Tx Knope! I am going to go through all these collections to find out more on the colors. I need to make a list so I know what I want to vote for when the time comes. I'm a little sad that blueberry fizz & jungle juice lipsticks aren't on the lists. Starflash e/s I have heard wonderful things about so I am excited to vote on those.

Mac-Guy we should vote for it like a million times LOL    I'd buy about that many of em :)

Specktra used to have a list of all the old Color Collections but since the new board was launched, I can't find it.  Anyone know where it went?

You're welcome! I generally get really into MAC for a while and then back off for a while, and a lot of those collections were ones I was sorry I missed. I really want Jungle Juice too, and I was sad it wasn't promoted with the Cindy collection. I will vote for Perfect Topping and Port Red as much as they let me, and I never tried a Starflash so I'll vote for that as well. I get the feeling this collection will sell out in about 30 minutes online, so serious stalking will have to happen. 

OMG I see Naked Honey on that list! The hand & body lotion & the salve from that collection are to die for!!! I bought like 4 of each & am on my last h&b lotion I would chew off a leg to get more of that stuff

is this what you are looking for?

Just for your information, guys and gals, the blogger who posted the news explicitly says that there are currently no news from which collections the pre-selected items will be.

I think those images are merely a collage of past Mac collections.

What I understood from that post:

There will be two votes in total:

1) vote via facebook app in March from 20 pre-selected discontinued/le items - 5 items will be chosen

2) every day (!) for two weeks there will be also a possibility to vote for your favourites from 18 pre-selected items. 5 most voted for items will be released online only. This vote will also being taking place in March.

So, if I understand it correctly, there will be plenty items to choose from!  I really hope that we will be getting Queen's Sin with this collection finally!!!

You can still find NH stuff in CCO's (in case you live close to one). I also liked the products of this collection and would love to see them repromoted.

This is fantastic news!!! Thank you Eleentje!!!!! Maybe Jungle Juice &/or Blueberry Fizz l/s will be on a list then.
