MAC x Proenza Schouler (April 24, 2014)

[bvenice1920]

Really, though! I'm sitting here like, "Ok, so if MAC is charging $20 for cremesheens and the little EDES, and $25 for EDB's, then I might as well walk over to the Nars counter" and spend a few dollars more, for what is usually a better product with better packaging. And it would be nice if they had a F&F sale once a year like most other major brands. I love MAC, but IJS.

Its so funny how Mac leaks their own information but have their employees sign some kind of confidential agreements. Mac IMO flourishes on hype and controversy . They do need to have some special offers as incentives for regular loyal customers. I think that Mac needs to do more and improve their products and packaging especially if their blushes are priced the same or close to the price of some really good quality ones with mirrors , pouches, mini brushes etc

I so agree

Just found the pic on IG. The lipstick tubes aren't shaped like normal MAC lipsticks. Are these going to be the more expensive Mineralize Rich lipsticks? If so, count me out

Divine Night actually cost MORE THAN NARS in Australia. I haven't been near a MAC counter since. I just came into this thread because of how bad the packaging was!

Yeah i saw the lippies.. Not so to die for?

just my humble opinion.. but MAC's latest products have been long on names (RiRi et al) and cost, but short on innovation.

I say this because there is better and more innovative technology for products which are not being used because they are cashing in on the hype for Rihanna (remember she gets paid a hefty amount for her endorsements). I am frankly and personally disappointed with the offerings recently.
I personally don't feel that dark purple or black lips are not really flattering on anyone -- some are young and lucky to pull this off.

I know Promo images are photoshopped like crazy. http://nymag.com/thecut/2013/10/mac-and-proenza-schouler-surf-into-spring.html Here's the article that describes how they're used. It's in the first paragraph.

Dang I'm bummed out I missed the pix. Is it me or did this article snidely dis the Surf Baby packaging? Maybe I am reading too much into it

You can find the pics on Instagram. I loathe the packaging so it's a non-starter for me. What were they thinking? The peach powder looks pretty and I bet it's pigmented enough to wear as blush for those with lighter skin tones.

I'm not a fan of the packaging either and nothing really jumps out at me. Add to that my membership in the low buy group and I think I can easily skip.

So am I the only one who totally loves the packaging? I guess it's because it looks so 90s.

No...not at all!

I loveeeeeeeeeee it too

It is something completely different and very pretty!

I don't hate the packaging, but I also don't love it. Who knows, maybe it'll turn out like the RiRi Fall packaging and end up surprising us. I really hated the Fall packaging when I saw promo pics but turned out to really like it when I saw it in person

I like the packaging for this a whole lot better than the 80's women on the compacts.... I forgot the name of the collection....I'm sure it will come to me later.

[Baby1black]

[Baby1black]

I don't mind the packaging but if they are in fact mineralized lipsticks like the ones from Tropical Taboo then its money saved for me...I loathe those things
