I want Treasured l/s, Lap of Luxury, Preciousness and D'nouveau lipglasses! The packaging is gorgeous!! IT IS SO WAY BETTER THAN MONOGRAM'S PACKAGING! Don't you all agree with me?

Sooo pretty...why no brushes?!
I want a lipstick, at least one gloss, and the compact.
It will be my first compact, can anyone tell me about sheer mystery powder? Currently I set my foundation with MSFN.

couture collections usually feature products with different(nicer) texture than regular mac and packaged in something fancy (even the brushes are softer).
last year's couture collection was called monogram

I'm a little disappointed that the mystery powder is the smaller size like the Monogram and Kitty Kouture powders. The powder is so finely milled I really, really like it and find the coverage to be better than the regular select sheer pressed powder. Also, I would prefer to be able to refill it with a powder, rather than a blush, but at least the packaging is beautiful.
Based on descriptions, the pink and the nude lippies and all 3 lip glosses AND a mystery powder will be coming home with me ($170 - yikes).
I'm kind of glad there aren't any brushes - - it'll save me the money!

They certainly do
But I guess if the quality is better then I certainly can't bitch. I know people that buy Chanel and YSL makeup every week like it's nothing so I guess I should be pretty happy that MAC makeup isn't this expensive all of the time. It certainly is very beautiful packaging though.

"c" means cream. like sleepyhead said, it has no shimmer or glitter. its a smooth formula like amplified, but it has a different formula of its own.

I absolutely LOVE the packaging on this collection. Its gorgeous. So much better than the Monogram collection last year.
I'm yet to try a mystery/sheerspark powder. With everything else I get, the price has always stopped me but I'm going to get one from this collection. I can't wait to see swatches.

Too bad there aren't any brushes. It would match my bathroom that I'm in the process of stenciling in a damask pattern. Oh well, I'll just have to decorate it with the pretty box from the compact, the compact itself, lipstick and lipgloss.
Plus, I love my mystery powder. It's so much nicer to use then a regular powder.
