MAC Year of the Snake Collection Discussion (February 2013)

[EOTD-Fanny]

I really, really hope they will release this collection worldwide!
It looks so damn beautiful! The snakepattern....

I want all of the eye shadows and the piggies.

 

[EOTD-Fanny]

Hey that's my sign. 我屬蛇. How fun! The promo image is tdf. I have to say it seems strange that they would do a year of the snake collection instead of year of the dragon.

I agree.

I want a "Year of the rabbit" collection since it's my sign U.U
from this collection I guess In the end I'll take only Shell Pearl and maybe an eyeshadow!
Must save and spend for Apres chic and Archie's girls!

 

[EOTD-Fanny]

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!

Yes! Too bad they didn´t do it.

I´m born in the year of the dragon,
so really want a dragon-collection!

 

[EOTD-Fanny]

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

I thought so too.

I'm year of the Monkey. Not as spectacular as year of the Snake or Dragon, but I want a Monkey collection.

I wish they would have brought back the shadows from the Snake Eyes collection, the polishes too!

Hehe. If MAC did a monkey collection in special packaging I'd buy the lot. I don't care much for chimps et al. but I adore the smaller kinds like macaques and capuchins

I'm a dog btw, which is kinda boring. Blah.

 

[Yazmin]

Year of the Ox would be cool! Could tie it in with a sort of matador-ish theme!

 

[rockin]

I was born in the year of the snake

If by any chance this collection comes to the UK, I would get all 3 Veluxe Pearl eyeshadows, and Plumful lipstick.

The description says the eyeshadows are 3g, so they are the larger eyeshadows. I'm intrigued that the pigments are stated as 7.5g, though.

me too.
i'm eyeing the shadows as well. i also like how the beauty powder looks in the photo, but from the description it sounds much lighter...

 

[Anitacska]

If this doesn't come to the UK I won't be too sad, I'd probably only get the purple eyeshadows (mostly for the design). I'm pretty sure I bought Shell Pearl with Liberty of London (I don't use it at all, so not even sure, but that tells you how much I need yet another beauty powder, lol). It's pretty, but I don't really need anything from it.

 

[MACina]

I would definitely BU Shell Pearl.Especially as it has this pretty pattern

And I would get Altered State and Once upon a Time as FS.I do only have them in palettes so far.

I have BUs of the pigments and that is why I can skip them.I might cave though if the containers are special
packaging too.And not only the boxes.

I cannot recall if I have actually experienced Shell Pearl? It wasn't the one promoted again in LOL? IF so, that one is a skip. If it is a shimmery silver (cool) based product, its on + BUs

Altered State sounds gorgeous, but wondering if the blurple from one of the quads will scratch that itch for me already. I will want swatches of Once Upon a Time. Aztec Brick I am getting b/c I have been lemming it since I missed it in the Spring Colour Forecast collex and have had skippers remorse on that quad!

I love both pigments, but not enough to get a big container. Unless it is at the CCO price

 

[MACina]

Yes,it was repromted in the LOL collection

TY--Once Upon a Time is on the list (they had me at VP and beigey pink is really useful) and I think I may have Altered State...must go culling thru the palettes I have. It is a gorgeous color and would be great as a singleton.

It may have been raised but wanna discuss it here, do you feel that the promo pic is sth done by Chen Man for MAC again? I mean it's a Chinese theme and the pic with products only has the same layout style of the previous collaboration. I tried to look for news of Chen Man about these photo shots but the Chinese media is rather late about product forecast news. I know it's rare for her to do close-up that close and I can't tell if the model is Asian or not,, but the PS skills of light and esecially the hair jewellery look so much like her earlier photography work of ancient goddess and video game concept art.
