I was just looking at the thread with the color description for the eyeshadows included in the Originals collection and I have to wonder, how many shades of grey can one company come up with? Don't get me wrong, I like grey but is it just me or has MAC wear out the color grey?

Does anyone know if this collection will have special packaging?

To be honest, I don´t think MAC wears out greys, since there aren´t that many true grey e/s or pigments. But I´ll tell you something about blues/aquas/teals — these are colors MAC can´t get enough of! Come on, Parrot? I know, I know, it´s almost blasphemy to say that in Specktra...But how much bright blue/aqua eyeshadow can a woman wear?

I chuckled at this, mostly because of your avatar

I have to agree with the bright blue/aqua thing but as fair as the grey goes, there might not be that many that are true grey nevertheless they all still manage to look the same on me.

Oh my! Aquas, teals and blues are the bomb. It's like red lipstick, you'll never stop looking for the perfect shade and will find a way to justify every variation in every finish. I love that color family. I wish we could get more greens though, but I am happy with Wondergrass. Thank you MAC!

I always look forward to the after Xmas collection from MAC but this year I think I'll be skipping it. There are no new colors in this collection, does MAC really find it necessary to have an entire collection of re-promotes?

I don't understand all of the excitement about parrot - how oftern can you really use aqua eyeshadow.

I'm sure I'll end up getting some from this collection and I do agree with MAC Whore, et al. about MAC improving on formula's and all that, I suppose that for me these just weren't colors I was all that thrilled with in the first place. I do love Parrot, even though I rarely use it but it's nice for those who haven't had it to get it, you can dupe it with other lines colors (Cargo Aegean for example) but it's just not the same famous MAC texture and wear. I'm glad they delved deeper back than say LE items from just a few years ago, it'll be interesting to see what they end up looking like. I'm glad the lippies are lustres because some of the older Matte's and such were so drying! All in all, I was a little skeptical at first but I do want to give it a chance
