MAC x The Simpsons Collection (Sept 4, 2014)

[Vineetha]

Trust MAC to make the prettiest item in the collection an online exclusive. I despair, MAC, I really do

I'm not equally enamoured by Pink Sprinkles but two Marge compacts is better than one Marge compact so I want it (rational behaviour's never been my forte).


What I am profoundly enamored by is that 2 Dozen and One Greyhounds e/s but even I can't justify getting the damn quad for one colour. I don't have any of the dupes T suggested so I will need to so some serious stash investigation to see if I have anything similar.

That is one pretty e/s!!!Well I dont really dig the other shades in the palette

Yeah they are pulling a lot of that online exclusive bs now! I guess with every collection now?

I really wish they hadn't made it online only as well and 2 Dozen and One Greyhounds is GORGEOUS! I want it, but I don't want that whole quad.

Just one blush and lipgloss now for me I have to save my coins

MAC works in its mysterious ways lol. I understand their motivation (online exclusive = people going bonkers) but I don't agree with their choice of product. A peachy coral blush doesn't need the extra hype, especially with Simpsons packaging. I think it would have made more sense to make a less universally appealing product an online exclusive as a means of giving it a little helping hand. But what do I know?


Greyhound afficionados unite! I think there's something similar in one of theBalm Shady Lady palettes but it may just be wishful thinking.

Originally, I had planned on maybe buying Itchy & Scratchy & Sexy, Grand Pumpkin and Nacho Cheese Explosion but after seeing the lip swatches of them, I've decided to just skip this collection. I'm so sad the swatches didn't make them more appealing to me - I love The Simpsons!

Maybe from MAC's perspective they want to pull the most customers to their own site. Presumably, they are maximizing profit and have the most control when they sell their own product. They have to pay for the site, online support, distribution, might as well make the most of it?

If I want that coral (and if it's the most popular color, I will), I'll pay more attention to the MAC online launch, and probably throw the rest of the items that I want into the basket at the same time, yes?

It's a subtle way of competing against Macy's, Nordstrom, etc. etc. Also the earlier release date too.

That totally makes sense! I've never thought about it that way before.

 

[MissKate126]

I was gonna skip, but IS&S and RB are too pretty too pass up. I love purple lip products so IS&S is up my alley, also I have been liking for a vivid pink gloss.

SY is pretty but probably too light for my N9 complexion. So that's a skip. I just hope that if I don't get it online, I can get it in store.

SY is an online exclusive, won't be in stores.

 

[BuickMackane]

Yup, makes sense

Then there will be the "compensation" purchases of course - I'm gutted that I couldn't get X so now I'm going to get Y instead. For medicinal purposes. What the heck, I'll get Z too

Not that it's ever happened to me. Oh no sir!

 

[Rinstar]

With all of the upcoming collections in mind, I think I'm going to try to stay under $120 for this and Artificially Wild combined (ugh!). So that's looking like That Trillion Dollar look and SY from this and Stony e/s and Taupe blush from AW. Those are pretty much my must haves anyway. I kinda want Red Blazer, but I have so many lip glasses just sitting there unused, so I should skip.

Noooooo but Red Blazer is so pretty.

Does anyone know when these are available ?
The nacho cheese lipgloss I would buy that is all lol

 

[Barbie1]

I think the nacho cheese should of been the orange color instead of the lime green .I'am dissapointed with this color palette they used they should of been more creative with this.They could of done an eat my shorts lipgloss in a cherry red or something the names are not as clever as I thought they would have been.

All the info is on the first page

@Barbie1 We already have a Simpsons thread, so I moved your posts here

 

[rooocelle]

I just can't decide whether to get Sideshow You or Pink Sprinkles. And now I&S&S is creeping into my list as well.

OR? Lol get both

Nah, can't afford it after my Osbournes disaster. Temptalia told me I could skip SY if I had Hipness. But I still want that little piece of coral heaven.

Well in that case I say get SY. If you know you'll use it.

Stopped by my counter today to pick up another fluidline pencil and they had just gotten their testers in. I got a little sneak peek. I didn't get to swatch but the packaging is too cute. Definitely going to have to get the blushes and one of the quads and the nail stickers. Can't wait!
