Tx you so much Naynadine! I'm usually not one for packaging. I usually don't care one way or the other. It's product that is important to me. I am LOVING this packaging!love.gif It could be that with Marilyn there can be no wrong doing in my eyes.angelic.gif I can't wait to start stalking. I'm going to be so broke.mac_atemywallet.gif

I found some prices on spanish and portugese websites. According to those, lipsticks will be 21 Euro, the beauty powder 29,50, dazzleglass 22,50, nail laquer 15,50 and eyeshadows 22,50. Holy cow. I'd rather buy a Chanel gloss for that kind of money before I would buy those dazzleglasses. ohboy.gif

I'll let the event decide for me but I *might* come away with more than lipsticks.

post #909 of 8500

Hi Everyone...I'm a longtime lurker but this is my first post. (Not normally into online posting...but I sort of feel like I've found my people with you all!) I'm wondering if someone can fill me in on how to sign up to attend an event for this launch. I'm located in Seattle, so there are 2 MAC stores close to me. I looked on the website to see if there were any upcoming events at either store and no results popped up. I really want to attend as I'm pretty sure that I am going to need every single one of those lippies! Thanks for the help and I apologize if I'm posting this in wrong place!

Thank you so much Naynadine!!!

Thanks again, Naynadine! I think dazzle and cremesheen glasses already cost here 23.50 euros, so wonder what these are going to cost.

 

I think I should stick with my original list: coral blush, beauty powder, pink-red lippie, champagne e/s. But then I'm thinking if I should get the darker lippies, too? (I don't normally do vampy, and I'm more interested in Camden Chic...).
 

post #913 of 8500

Ahhh, the stalking queen strikes again! heart.gif

Thank you, Naynadine.

 

I still love the packaging and the bp and some of the lippies, glosses and maybe blushes (and eyeshadows... and... and...) will be mine for sure! Even if the prices you found are hellishly expensive! icon_eek.gif

post #914 of 8500

Blushes and b/p for me, including several BU's. flower.gif

 

 

No Pro discount I guess, but I don't care what it will cost. :)

 The b/p sounds very backup-able!

post #916 of 8500
This is going to be one hella expensive collection.

My list right now is: the beauty powder, coral blush, neutral blush and a lipstick.. They're all maybes obviously, I want swatches!! lol

I wish MAC would give up on pushing nail polishes at us in every collection.

Hey MAC,

I am not going to buy your nail polish no matter who's picture you stick on the bottle!

Thank You!

Agreed! I only have Hyperion nail polish from the Daphne Guinness collection. I like the color but sooo streaky. I have to slap on four layers to just even it all out, then it chips like a mo-fo. I could get the same formula at a drugstore for a small fraction of the MAC price. Never again!

Exactly my thoughts! I have Breezy Blue from Chen Man collection and it's a pain to work with, so streaky.

post #922 of 8500
I've never tried MAC polishes and I never will!
post #923 of 8500

 I dare say the Mac nail polish I have are not that bad, but I usually skip Mac nail polishes because of bad reviews.. Asiatique has been my favorite red nail polish ever (now it is finished), Nightfall is good too.. and finally Sly as a fox which I like the formula but has a terrible brush! So I guess you can find something good but of course there are better brands at that price point!

post #924 of 8500

I think I might just get lipsticks this time. I feel like the packaging could be better and the blushes and beauty powder seem dupeable. I may change my mind when I see swatches though! I will definitely pick up a lipstick or two though.

I'm still not WOW'd by the packaging but I guess it doesn't matter as long as the product inside is good (and worth the extra $$$). I'll have to wait for swatches as well. 

post #927 of 8500

The last nail polish that I got from MAC was Something About Pink from the Hello Kitty collection. The color is pretty but it takes about 3 or 4 coats to make it opaque and have never bought them again. I much rather stick with China Glaze and OPI for nail polish.

 

ON TOPIC:

Here is my final list for this collection:

 

Deeply Adored l/s

Charmed I'm Sure l/s

Love Goddess l/s

Little Rock d/g

Preferred Blonde e/s

Forever Marilyn BP

Legendary Blush

This red seems incredible. 

post #929 of 8500

Overall I would say MAC polishes are actually better than their reputation, to be honest. But the quality should be more consistent, some are definitely worse than others. And I'm not sure if they're worth the price...

The thing about Mac nail polishes for me is that they're extremely inconsistent. Some are great, others are infuriating and it's not like they do one type well and another type poorly. It's just always a crap shoot what quality you get.

It certainly does. I just have to keep reminding myself that I already have lots and lots and lots of reds from across the spectrum. Finding beautiful reds is not usually a problem. I imagine that these will be really lovely. For me, it'll just be a question of what I can already dupe from my stash. Assuming I can resist the allure of more reds, which I don't seem capable of doing very often.
