MAC X Guo Pei Collection (Sep 24 / October 1, 2015)

[GreenEyedAllie]

Are the prices posted somewhere?

I've seen prices floating around earlier in the thread. $30 for alipstick, $70 for the beauty powder or an eye palettes, and I think $45 or some such for a blush. I don't remember seeing anything about the brushes or liners yet. I wasn't into MAC when Prabal (sp?) happened, but apparently that was also a couture collection, so you could judge based off those figures.

I don't have a 129, so I'm leaning toward grabbing that if it's not too insane; otherwise, I would probably be better served spending on a true HE brush.

Is it me, or is everyone's interest in this collection waning by the day?   Well, that, and their obsession with making so many lipsticks in their special collections lustres.  That dirty coral would make a fantastic satin

Preach!

I really just want a lipstick for collecting purposes! love the packaging

 

[pixi]

Yeah so no thanks. Is that another friggin red lipstick?!

haha! I'm over the red lipsticks also

 

[NaomiH]

Because it's a lustre!

I'd love a Beauty Powder compact, but I think I'm skipping. My money will be better spent on books

I'd love one too. But when it comes down to shelling out $70 for it I don't think I can.

I think this is where these ridiculously early promos hurt their sales rather than generate excitement.  Well, that, and their obsession with making so many lipsticks in their special collections lustres.  I know lots of ladies love those, but it seems like we've just had so many, and that dirty coral would make a fantastic satin, I think.

I say this all the time, when I have too much time to consider a collection or have to wait too long for it to actually launch I lose interest

Is it me, or is everyone's interest in this collection waning by the day? When I first saw it announced, I was drooling. I needed it all, but now I'm trying to figure out something to buy mostly for the packaging/collector in me. Especially at these prices, I'd rather build up my fledgling TF stash.

A few months ago I was on here singing the praises of lustres largely because of my nude obsession but since venturing into mattes, retro mattes, cremesheens etc. they're not my favorite anymore and certainly not worth a $30 price tag

:agree:   A few months ago I was on here singing the praises of lustres largely because of my nude obsession but since venturing into mattes, retro mattes, cremesheens etc. they're not my favorite anymore and certainly not worth a $30 price tag :nono:  

Yeah, I love lustres for what they are, but I can't bring myself to spend $30 for one.

I agree. Love your hair in your avatar. It's fabulous!

 

[CCKK]

Lovin' the packaging but if it costs 30 dollars for lipstick well damn how much will brush cost. Plus, I am interested in the fluildliners. Also, I agree Mandy your avatar is hypnotizing-beautiful, beautiful: Go girl
(snapping fingers left to right) they need to make a You go girl smiley picture given

I like it,but it seems a bit sheer for my taste. Thanks for posting, Nadine!

Anyone notice in the caption where she mentions fabric? So like the pattern is fabric?? If so, that could be good or bad. I need to see it on lips before I really have an opinion worth noting.

Yes the floral cover on the cap is a fabric. Not sure how it will hold up but it is different!

A lot of the couture collections feature "safe" and/or neutral colors, both for lips and cheeks. This collections is definitely on the sheer side.
