MAC Early Buzz - news on products for 2012

[Mac-Guy]

uoooh I want that beauty powder *___* is that a cutie spider ? *___*

The pearlmatte formula came out with MAC in Lillyland a while ago. It also had an interesting pattern, though it was nicer to admire than to apply. I considered it pretty much a collector's item, but I'm sure this one will fly off the shelves as well.

Liba, thanks for posting the Vera link. This is very interesting. I find it always fascinating how logos change over time.

I recognize the logo on the face powder! It's Vera - a textile designer who made dresses and scarves with her distinctive patterns, sort of an American Marimekko. My mom had a couple of summer dresses and a scarf of hers when I was growing up which I was always very fascinated by...big, bright abstract prints! They influenced me very much and I even wound up working as a textile designer myself at one point in my life.
'Looks like someone's trying to revive the brand with this tie-in. I bet there'll be at least some printed makeup bags or a scarf, like there was for Liberty of London! Who knows....maybe there'll be special packaging too.

Here's a link about the history of Vera, with some pictures: http://fashionsfinest.fuzzylizzie.com/vera.html

Thanks for the link! The blush and powder are pretty, but such a shame about the MES looking just like Sea & Sky. I guess Mac are running out of colours to do them in.

Don't know if anyone has seen this yet. I am not associated with this blog so I can't vouch for how accurate.

they look so great but a bit less sparkly as somebody had already mentioned. compared to the originals of course.

Blue Flame, Cinderfella and Young Punk are the originals. She mentions in her review, that she only got Smutty Green, Water & Ice and Sweet & Sour from MAC.

 

[Anneri]

My Water & Ice looks completely different. It's really important to bear in mind that MES always, always differ from one another!

 

[pemily]

I guess not completely matte, but the MES from In The Groove-collection were a very nice satin finish.

Although I loved that collex i got one mes the brown/cream one and in all honesty that would be my least fave Mac item out off 300!!
just didn't like it...
Thanks for jotting my memory though!

Yay! Thanks GlamQueen! Cinderfella will finally be mine, and I'll be picking up Smutty Green too. I already have Blue Flame and Young Punk from SB and still have tons of product left. Don't think I'll be backing them up.

Thanks! The only one that really tempts me is Smutty Green. Although I have more green shadows than I'll ever use, it does look nice. I'd still like to see it compared to the green side of She Who Dares from VV, though, especially since it's a lot darker than I expected.

Thank you Mac_aiken & GlamQueen!!!! I am loving the links. I have to catch up with everything. I was out all day yesterday.

i think that is true for all of us here!

I think a while back Lou mentioned something about mineralized products and special packaging. I got my February Teen Vogue and saw this and thought you ladies would be interested. Sorry for the crappy pic, I couldn't find my camera so I'm just using the one on my laptop

On the top of the bottle it says MAC lightful and on the bottom it says Marine-Bright Formula Softening Lotion and in the details of the issue, it says MAC Lightful Lotion and will cost $30 US

 

[GlamQueen21]

Your welcome girls! I'm going to keep searching for swatches for the upcoming collections.

 

[singer82]

Oooooo nice! Thanks Glam! They dont look like they have much fallout which is good! I hope theres more lighter colors, I have enough darkend sparkly colors.
That blush looks like Briar Rose but with a more purple sheen YES!!!
