Give me a Sophia Loren collection and I will buy anything and everything with BUs, I would seriously lose my mind.
Double if it was a Sophia collection with her and Monica Bellucci in the print ads. I weep at the thought.
They did the Beauty Icons a few years ago (Liza Minnelli, Diana Ross, Catherine Deneuve, Raquel Welch, Dame Edna) I really wish they would have kept that going...All of the ladies you all mentioned would have been amazing in that series of collections.

I'm kinda surprised they haven't done it yet, but MAC should really do a Screen Legends Collection. Marilyn, Hepburn, Bardot...I'm sure others could fill in 1 or 2 more ladies. It'd probably be more effective than a single collection focused on a single woman. I think a mascara purely focused on getting Hepburn's Dolly Lashes + False Eyelashes. Marilyn's Iconic Lips and a Beauty Powder. A Bronzing Powder and Eyeliner for Bardot.  Just something to make these collections a little more WOC friendly. 
Sophia Loren

Yeah, the eyeshadows definitely bothered me more than the lipsticks. Marilyn always had that beautifully contoured neutral eye. I would have rather seen neutral mattes than a bunch of pale sparkly shades. I know it's a long shot, but I'd love to see colors based on some of her famous costumes. Because heck yes I'd buy a lipstick the color of her Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend dress!
The dress looks like PiPi to mean.
im dying for a marilyn eyehdow quad^^^
YAAAASSSSSS!!!!!!
I would love a loose Beauty Powder in a pretty  powder box along with a decorative powder puff  :eyelove:
They really need to bring the loose BPs back!

The IG photos are a riot too.

Back to the topic: I'm waiting for the color story because I may be seeing red if it's a complete repromote.

I hope they will do lippies in the retromatte formula like Ruby Woo. I got Ruby Woo recently and love it (can you believe that I didn't have Ruby Woo for all those years!). I know some people find it very drying, but as long as I used prep + prime and a lipliner underneath I can handle it and the effect is to die for!

Well, then you finally discovered one of the most beautiful MAC lipstick IMO. If it weren't so drying I would wear it all the time. Even with P+P my lips get really dry after a few hours. Now I save it for special occasions or if I know I'll only wear it for an evening or a few hours out. I don't love it one bit less though. I think it is my no. 1 red lipstick, even if I don' t reach for it on regular basis. Sounds weird, I know..

ETA: I do love Party Parrot a lot though...

I'm glad you like it so much as well! The colour is really special and I see why it's a favorite among so many.
