It's funny, because orange is the "it" colour this year, I think it would be hilarious if Mac decided to use another colour. A nice light pool blue would be really nice, actually.
That's exactly what I have in mind

That would look so cute! and yeah, I love how if mac was to go with the "it" color that they'd have a million mad mac addicts screaming "NOT ANOTHER ORANGE!"

I'm still in love with the chrome packaging from the Diana Ross collection.

The MW compact in chrome, maybe even a colored sort of chrome, such a grey or dark blue - would be a dream come true. I would certainly be prepared to pay more than 60 bucks as the design is truly stunning.

One can try to be ecological and hygienic at the same time, although this whole cosmetic world is not the most ecological world. Environment is something that we should definitely not forget. I do not use disposables on myself, I find it absurd. I do keep my products well taken care of, but I wont go crazy with it. It's me and my body that I live in everyday, if I can't bare to touch my face in fear of bacteria then I couldn't live very happy life. Hygiene is nice and important, but not something to be mental about. Of course it's a different story when using products on other people, that I can understand not wanting to share your lipgloss with hundred people.
I think this whole discussion got started on my aversion to jar packaging and my hesitation to stick my fake nails into the tendertone pots. (Which could potentially introduce bread crumbs, not to mention whatever yucky crap might be lurking under said nails, but mostly secretions and oil and dead skin cells from my fingers).

I DO think jar packaging does introduce more germs than necessary and exposes any antioxidants inside the skin care product to oxidation and cancellation of any benefits. That being said, I agree on reducing waste.

My eyes are easily prone to bacterial infection and also irritability, so I do use a Q-tip applicator (I break it in half and dip the "sterile" end into the PP or FL, and then wipe the product on my hand or brush to avoid sticking body parts or brushes with my bacteria and oil into the product. Since I have had a nasty eye infection and had to take gooey antibiotics that I had to squeeze into my conjunctiva for 3 weeks, I am willing to contribute to a little land fill waste to be more hygienic.

I get a little concerned if I layer a lipglass over a lipstick, the pigmentation from the lipstick will stick on the doefoot applicator and then affect the gloss and change the color.

On the other hand, I have no problems sharing lipstick or buying a lipstick from someone who has gently tested it. I know my mouth is full of bacteria. So, for me it is a balance of reducing waste and keeping my products as bacteria free as possible or avoiding changing the color or consistency (or therapeutic ingredients like antioxidants). I try to go with the lesser of 2 evils, but I am not going to chance another eyeball infection.

I try to reuse and recycle as much as possible. I try to use a washcloth and wash it for facial cleaning rather than use wipes (save these for travel or really stubborn make up). I try to use recycleable materials, etc.

I guess at the core, I am inconsistent, but I try to take the middle ground and balance it all out.

haha my brother and dad are both hooked to the point it's possible they're addiction is as bad as my MAC one! I still laugh when I went to go get some stuff from mac and my brother was with me, my usual MUA was asking him all these video game questions like "what system should I get? What's the best game? Why is Modern Warfare so popular?" ahh the memories of MAC

These pearlglides will most likely be the permanent ones!
The Butterfly Party crushed metallic pigments

WOO! INDUSTRIAL! I'm so glad it's back - I've had to resort to rationing my tiny stub severely. Kind of bummed there's no Almost Noir - that's my other favorite I'm rationing like it's wartime by now.

I agree with your

about Butterfly Party....Strawberry Patch is so cute too....wish they'd do a set where they don't sneak in repeat colors from previous stacks.

A few of those Plushglasses are really pretty too - especially On a Holiday! I know some people don't do well with them, but I guess that just means more for me!

Luckily i don't have any crushed metallic pigments yet so no repeats for me!
I didn't expect that there would be two pearlmatte powders so i don't think i can buy a back up of each just to look at. I really like this collection the colours are so pretty!

Well, here's your excuse to get a stack or two! Any of them would look so pretty on you. They have their quirks - very glittery, can be sheer, might crease if you don't have your application down to a science, but when it all comes together, they're beautiful - especially sparkling in the summer sun.

I hope they offer a scarf as part of the collection. My mother's Vera dresses were my favorites when I was really little and I'd love to get her a nice scarf for a present - she wears the one I got her from the Liberty of London collection all the time and gets so many compliments.
