MAC Zac Posen Collection (February 24, 2016)

[Marsha Pomells]

The only items i'm even vaguely considering are the eye palette and the nude lipstick.

This is so annoying! They finally come out with a rewards program and so far i'm not seeing anything in any collection i really want!

You're not alone, Lilinah. This collection is a straight up skip for me, along with Charlotte Olympia and possibly Flamingo Park... Even though I only wanted 2 lipsticks from FP.

To me, when I see her swatches, I still want it. And then I see it on her lids and am completely turned off. I think I will need to see what other bloggers think/test it in person before jumping on it.

I don't love her makeup application, but I do go based on swatches. I do my eye makeup differently anyway.

At this point, the only thing that interests me is the eye shadow palette, but I may end up skipping it.

Was meh before T's swatches and still meh after T's swatches. Just not a fan of Zach Posen in general (sometimes he rubs me wrong on Project Runway) and the collection is not popping for me.

Just Dangerously Red for me. T actually gave it an A Would have purchased it regardless of her review, but it definitely helps that it is looking GORGEOUS.

It's almost like they give her bricks on purpose now haha.

I love the pink the side but not the bronze side shade as it looks too orange.

Way too orange.

I was initially planning to skip because although the colors are pretty, I feel like I already own several similar shades. (*cough: plus the packaging is horrible) Now and thanks to the new Mac Select rewards program, I'm reconsidering my decision. Ultimately I'll most likely end up buying Dangerously Red.

This collection's packaging reminds me of the Brooke Shields collection's packaging.

This collection's packaging reminds me of the Brooke Shields collection's packaging.

That is my thought, too.

 

[Naynadine]

Don't like the shimmer in SM, so it's a complete skip for me after all.

OMG yes! For me the Brooke Shields packaging was such a turn off, recycling it for Zac Posen makes it an easy skip for me

Thinking if I should get the 2 brushes (182 buffer and 168 large angle contour)... Those who have the regular versions, are they any good?

 

[Monsy]

168 is wonderful for blushes or "contour" although it's not large at all

I have both and I like them a lot even though I wish the 182 kabuki were slightly bigger in size. but all the white goat hair brushes are amazing I think

 

[Monsy]

I agree. i would recommend getting 168 with white hair

 

[leonah]

I agree. i would recommend getting 168 with white hair

we indeed love the same MAC brushes

 

[soonari]

Thanks ladies! Reviews on MUA are pretty good too so it'll be hard for me to say no

I'm interested in that lipstick but it doesn't look to red to me. I might have to swatch it in store. Other than that, I think that this collection is a definite skip for me.
