MAC X Giambattista Valli Collection (July 2 / 9, 2015)

[alexisweaver]

I went from being so excited for this collection to going "meh."

Same here-- but for once I want all of the lipsticks just for the packaging. I probably won't use them bc I know I have dupes already; but this packaging is killing me!!

 

[Ajigglin]

I actually don't care for special packaging because it means I have to pay more.

 

[DarylandCarole]

Tats and Charlotte. They're both colours I probably have close dupes of, especially Tats, but that's because I wear those colours a lot. I am shamelessly buying these for the packaging - once they're gone I'll switch another pink / red into the tubes to use!  

Same here. I have dupes of all except the white-pink, but the packaging is gorgeous. And I love your idea of switching them out.

 

[unluckystars]

I love the packaging but I think I have dupes of everything too!

 

[bunnypoet]

Yeah, I'm not as excited about this collection as I was about BBW and Lavender Jade.

 

[daphnejacoba]

I don't know why the whole solid color for tube and lipstick thing is so magical to me but it is!

For me, too!

Do you guys think Mac doesn't put much effort into choosing the colors when a collection has special packaging because they know people will buy it regardless? :/

Nah, doubt it very much. Board member 1: what colours shall we use for this collection? BM2: lets put in a red... Ooooh, and a pink. BM3: how shall we describe them? BM1: powder pink? BM3: that don't look powder pink to me BM2: ......

I wonder how close Bianca B is in color to Saint Germain. I know the finish is different...

I'm pretty sure Bianca B is lighter than St G. I don't think they're very similar.

:werd: I'm good with the black tubes.

So it looks like it might be all minus Bianca B for me. Sweet lawd, I'm pretty sure I have dupes for 'em all but... the tubes are so pretty!

Of course, I'm sure I'll be whistlin' to a different tune once we get more swatches.

I think this collection is a skip for me. The shades are not that unique. You start to feel that way when you have close to 200 lipsticks. Everything starts to look alike.

I'm good with the black tubes.

I am good with the black tubes as well. Special packaging does not lure me in unless it is Alluring Aquatics.

I'll be depotting into these tubes as well, super pretty

I rather black tubes... £1.50 extra in my purse

And that is why I'm steering clear from red lipsticks. I don't know if I need to sort out my glasses earlier than planned or go for an eye test in regards to some weird colour blindness, that helps me see shapes or something (I saw a sand timer in a clock, on a cover of a new Millar comic - only people with some sort of colour blindness can see it - I have astigmatism and I saw it) but I can't deal with another red.... They all look the same

I think I'm skipping this. I've been skipping everything lately. I think I'm M/U ed out . :shock:

Agreed. I might get Margarita because it does look a little different than what I have (I don't have many oranges) but I'm gonna wait for scratches. Might get Charlotte because I like reds like that. But this is not a collection I'm excited for.
