I don’t think there was that much hype for this collection. They just had very little stock and probably didn’t send anything out to the bloggers because there’s no point in promoting a collection with barely any stock.

I think hype was real on IG
I think so too. Just because Specktra is quiet, it doesn't mean that there is no hype. The forum has become rather quiet in comparison to a few years ago.

I only wanted one of the lipsticks (mostly for the packaging tbh) but I don't think I have the energy to hunt one down. None of the three MAC locations in my local mall received this collection and my online order also got cancelled. According to the sales associate at my local MAC store, the closest MAC that allegedly has it is a Macy's counter an hour away from me. I hope they handle the Aaliyah launch better than this..

I got my 3 items & love them all. Very pretty. The blush looks just like a real peach on me - both the peachy & rosy shades of a peach! lol I just used a big fluffy Mac brush & very lightly tapped both shades. It can be worn very sheer & is super healthy pretty looking.

Did anyone get the lipstick To Luck and can you post a picture/ swatch of it? On MAC's website, it doesn't look as red/dark as in other pictures. I went to Macy's on Friday but it was sold out. They still had the testers up and I tried on what I thought was To Luck but it pulled more orangey than red on me. It was a nice color but it wasn't the red that I was hoping for.

The other products didn't really show up on my skin tone so I guess money saved.

Prosperity is a gorgeous warm medium pink peachy rosy coral shade. Its a beautiful matte. I did it sheerly on my lips & love how it looks. Pure happiness is a lighter wearable pink.

I love mine too, it is such a pretty blush color that is perfect for Spring. I hope you got the e/s palette too? It is a must have for blue eyes.

I'm NC42 and it pulls orange on me as well... not at all what the shade description is. I will do a swatch in the am. None of the other colors would work on me what so ever, so that was a no go. I'm still waiting on the shadow and the darkest blush duo but snagged a lipstick in person.

Also, did Mac not send out a single email about this launch?? If I hadn't seen these on instagram, I would not have known about it. They bombard me every 5 mins about fix plus, but not a single email about this launch!

lol, yes totally. i get two copies of every email from them for some weird reason, making it something like 10 emails a day...
i was kind of wondering if they might 'officially' launch close to actual lunar new year, which i think is in feb?
