MAC Year of the Snake Collection Discussion (February 2013)

[valkolak]

Wasn't 2012 year of the dragon? And 2013 is snake, right?

Yep. I just meant it's interesting that they decided to do a collection like this this year instead of last year. It seems rather random to me but I wonder if there's some significance I'm missing. I love the packaging in any case

Even with repromotes or permanent items, it'll be my reason to pick them up. Cockney has been on my list for awhile and I always forget to swatch Freckletone. I already have Plumful and it's a lovely color. Shell Pink Beauty Powder sounds really pretty, so I hope it's not an Asia exclusive.

In what other collection is Shell Pearl being released?

In what other collection is Shell Pearl being released?

No, I think she means it was part of another past collection. (I could be wrong, though.)

 

[martiangurll]

It seems a large collection to be Asia exclusive...but if it is, I won't lose sleep over all the repromotes. I would like Aztec Brick e/s as a single...

In what other collection is Shell Pearl being released?

Shell Pearl was released in the Sundressing collection back in 2006 and for the Liberty of London collection in 2010.

The promo image looks amazing!!! I do hope that it's not just a Asia Exclusive like Lightfully Bright collection. I do want to get my hands on Once Upon A Time, Aztec Brick and Altered State eyeshadows.

Oh dang, I was thinking it would be in an upcoming collection

Oh yes, Altered State is so pretty! I only have a little pan of it from one of the 2009 holiday palettes. I can't wait to see an eye look with the shadows in this collection.

fly warped mascara!
they are pulling out all the stops...

the face powder and a couple of the shadows look very intriguing. and i agree, the imagery is tdf!

Yep. I just meant it's interesting that they decided to do a collection like this this year instead of last year. It seems rather random to me but I wonder if there's some significance I'm missing. I love the packaging in any case

i was surprised as well, but maybe they realized they had missed an opportunity this year? or maybe they'll start doing one of these every year...so eventually we'll have year of the rat collection...

I like collections that have Perm items in them, gives me a chance to grab them because I forget about Perm line with the hype of Limited edition and quite often grab perm items form collections.

I really like the design of this collection, specially the promo pic

so true - and it often gives me ideas for different ways to combine shades i already have.

I like this. Its a beautiful collection! I am going to google those shadows to see what they look like and how I can dupe them.

A year of the dragon theme would have been nice this year though. They could do it in 2024!

 

[Merula]

The promo pic is just gorgeous! I really love the packaging so much, I hope it's not an exclusive. I'd have them out on display on the time.

 

[sss215]

This promo picture and display were set up next to the Archie's girls displays in the photo that was found on the web. i hope we get this one! Re promotes and all!

MAC is probably not long enough in the Chinese market yet.....

 

[MACina]

Thank you Kaidan!
I could not remember which collection it was

It was also part of the "Sweet Tease Look Box" from Graphic Garden Collection in 2009.

No, I think she means it was part of another past collection. (I could be wrong, though.)

Exactly

Just what I was thinking!

I already have Aztec Brick and Altered State, but I could get the BP (also have) for the lovely print. Don't mind if my money is saved!

 

[romi79_2008]

I wonder if the translation is wrong and "shiny mercerized" is something like veluxe pearl, and the additional descriptions are for the colors just wrongly translated

 

[Rezel]
