Okay… How many Feline’s do I get this time? 4?? 8?? Excited for new Paint Pots too! 🙂
42!
Christine, I know Feline is a favorite among all gurus, however, Smolder smudges on me like crazy and I haven’t gotten a MAC liner since then. Should I try Feline?
Feline isn’t the must stay-put liner of all time, even though I love it and it’s my favorite black liner. I’m just sayin’ it won’t necessarily not smudge on you, lol.
I love Feline, too. Sometimes I put a lite dusting of powder on, then feline. It helps it set.
is the feline kohl power liner waterproof? why is there such hype about this product?
Feline is REALLY smudgy on me – I can’t use it on its own but it is *perfect* for the waterline or tightlining because you don’t have to push hard. Then I might go over it with a colored pencil or shadow.
ouch a colored pencil?
maybe you can try the mac fluidlines? i think the mac-store-girl told me, that it’s waterproof. however, I tried it and I love it. It doesn’t smudge on me and I had this problem with different brands and liners for a very long time!
don’t apply fluidline to the waterline if you wear contacts. I saw spots and blurry visions all day. I was miserable. Feline is a good waterline only. It will smudge. The best stay put is Engraved Powerpoint eye pencil.
Tip: Line your eye with a black shadow like carbon first, then use Feline over it. That will help it stay in place. Smolder is meant to be smudgeable, like for a smokey look. If you want a black liner that will NOT smudge, try Engraved.
yep!!! Great tip Bella!!!
I always thought it was the other way around? Line your eyes with pencil first then set with powder?
Another tip is to take a kleenex and gently remove any moisture on your water line, then line with your pencil immediatley. It helps a ton!
Hey Julie,
I prefer the Urban Decay 24/7 liners to MAC’s. They don’t smudge or crease at all! I like them way better. Their Black shade Zero is amazing! HTH:)
Try graphblack or engraved both are GREAT liners that don’t smudge plus they are always available!
i’m excited for these also, i love me some paint pots!!!
I think MAC Smoulder is supposed to be smudgey on you becasue it’s an eye khol and it’s made for smudging and smoking and such.
so it’s the time for my first one 😀
Ahh already discussions about Charm-Pale! My wallet is going to fall apart this year 🙁
Feline! 🙂
Ooooo, paint pots!
(:
Do you know what Fix+ lavender will be like?? is it supposed to give your skin a purple finish?!
I imagine just lavender scented – kind of like Fix+ Rose 🙂
I loved Fix + Rose so here’s hoping I fall in love with Fix + Lavender as well.
yes Christine, that’s perfect… it is like Fix+Rose but instead of rose, it’s Lavender. it does exactly what fix+ does but the lavender in it will sooth your skin and what’s even better is the wonderful lavender fragrance in it…. it’s like a Spa in your bag:-))
it’s just fix+ with the amazing lavender scent ahhaha
Super excited for this!!!!!!!
Yay! New paint pots! So excited for the white one and gray one!
Only 2 or 3 things there that I like the sound of (that I haven’t already got). My bank account will be very grateful
Specktra has the lipglasses as being lipgelees..do we know for sure either way?
Lipgelees, sorry! I was typing everything as fast as possible, I read it wrong!
🙂 no problem, i know you are a busy girl…i’m just so excited for lipgelees that i was really hoping it was!!!!
Argh. I’m gonna have to take out a loan at this rate!
hehe, me too!
aww man. I was so excited because I was doing well on all of these collections, not buying much of anything from each one. Paint pots are my favorite things from mac, I think I need all of them (:. I’ve never tried feline eye kohl, so I must do that. Oh goshh, better start saving now… *sighs*
I’m interested in trying Feline for the first time. I’m amazed that it didn’t come out with the Fabulous Feline collection, though…
Hey Christine, you mention Feline kohl pencil a lot in your posts. I was just wondering why you like it so much? (I missed it so I want to know if its worth getting) Thanks for these posts on upcoming collection!
Super super rich black!
if you want to try something like feline, get the stila eye kajal in onyx. its almost the same thing.
The Stila kajal is $18 though whereas the Kohl Power is $14.50. I guess the pro of the Stila kajal is that it’s permanent.
yay for paint pots, i think mac ignores how awesome they are! I cant wait for pictures!
Not a fan of these colors, but the lavender products sound interesting!
yes i’m excited to try those too!(:
Well, I better start saving up! It’s been awhile since I was so excited about so many items in one collection.
YAYYYYY Feline!!! Seeing how devastated I was when it didn’t repromote with the Feline collection I better stock up (yet again, I get 3-4 each time!)
Ohhh! So excited about this!!! I want ALL the paint pots!!! Also I need another Feline! Can`t wait!
Feline!!!!!!!!!!!
Can’t wait for swatches.Thanks for all the info!!(:
glad to see et tu boquet being repromoted one of my fav eye shadows i used it everyday for while after i got it. I would also love to pick up a feline eye kohl and see what all the hype is about!
ohhhh! new lipgelees! and paint pots! *glee*
More Lipgelees! Yay! I’m also interested in the new Lip Conditioner. Two of my very favorite MAC products.
Okay seriously i need a second job just to afford my MAC addiction.
I’m buying everything in this collection.
Hee hee hee….that is so true, Vanessa.
Ick, Fix + Lavender? I just used the last of my Fix + Rose and I really wish they’d bring that back again. 🙁
Is that release date correct–on a Sunday? So weird.
Yes, MAC always likes to capitalize on post-Christmas gift cards on the 26th!
well that’ve got me with that. Im really hoping for some giftcards to I can get some things from this collection!
Omg!! I’m SOO looking forward to this collection! It sounds amazing! Especially with the new paint pots and highlighting powders 🙂
OMG OMG OMG I love paint pots! I can not wait!
Definitely stocking up on FELINE!!!
Interested in one lipstick and a highlight powder. Thank gosh.
OMG! I am going to love the fix+ lavender. The new paint pots sound nice.
Ohhh, want want want! I wear a ton of grey (I have dark hair and blue eyes), and I want that gray paint pot and the platinum nail polish!
These holiday collections are getting out of hand. How many to they need? =\
woah did the prices go back down?
OMG, four new paint pots? I’m gonna kill my wallet this time!
I’m so glad I’ll get another shot at the chromographic pencils. I bought NC15/NW20 with To The Beach and wore it everyday … until my naughty, NAUGHTY dog chewed it up.
LOL, that’s funny. But its not. My cat has stole my brushes out of their cup but she doesn’t chew them……..
Actually you can find NC15 and NW20 in the online store right now. ^_^
I meant to say NC15/NW20 and NW25/NC30 at least on Canadian site but i should be the same for the US.
Where on the online store? I looked and couldnt find it 🙁
Aw that sucks. I know what you mean. My puppy likes to get in my makeup box as well. Her latest victim was my Spiked brow pencil 🙁 sigh
Hell yeah for some new paint pots! Use mine every day.
This collection sounds really pretty, I can’t wait to see more.
Christine, are the Special Reserve Highlight Powders replacing MSFs?
I have no idea. I would tend to doubt it, though!
Can we use our pro discount?
Looks like no one is getting gifts this Christmas but myself. hehe
I have no idea, sorry. I would presume if it is not licensed/collaborated that based on the current policy you would be able to.
Yes, you can use your pro discount with this and the other collection “Style…” I wish someone had swatches and reviews of this stuff so I could figure out what to buy before the general public buys out everything! hahaha 🙂
Ugh one of these days I hope ill see a new collection and not be interested…..untill then my wallet will hate me……the fix + lavender sounds lovely and the paint pots, and the quad…..oh and I wanna see what the feline is all about…..
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG NEW PAINT POTS AND HIGHLIGHTING POWDERS O.O
damn…. tartan’s gonna leave me half-dead already hahaha.
cant wait for complete comfort creme and paint pots yay fun
An amazing collection.
Oooh I’m very interested in Bubble Lounge, Dangerous Cuvee and the Cavier Dreams quad but I only like that for the Cavier Dreams eyeshadow.
Oh come on, I just spent 200+ dollars yesterday on VV. We are in a recession, ya know!
Omg!! With all of these new collections I will be broke.., and i’m only a high school student working off of babysitting money… Guess I’ll start saving now!!
Ahahah That’s funny cus I can totally relate.
My kid(the one I babysat) was a pain @times(would throw fits and what not), but I rolled with the punches for my MAC money.lol
Bubble lounge sounds pretty! I want all the paint pots, but I will have to see how many MUFE aqua creams I get at IMATS Toronto, and how they compare.
I’m so excited about the paint pots and Fix + Lavender! I’m on my last bottle of Fix + Rose, so I’m ready for a new scent 🙂
I guess this is a random place to put this… but is today your birthday?! Someone told me it was. If so, Happy Birthday! If not… um, happy early (or late) birthday!
It is! Thank you Jessi!
Oh my, Very Happy belated Birthday, Christine!! 🙂 I hope You ahd a lovely day!
Thanks, Petra!
Ah! We share a birthday! Happy belated birthday. Hope all was well and fun 🙂
Thanks, Court! Happy birthday!
Myyyy goddddd. I told myself after VV I was done for the year. I can’t possibly pass up that peach paint pot. And well, feline, of course.
I was ALL about the quad until I saw it contained retrospeck … I already have it :/ I don’t wanna have two of them!
sooo excited for new paint pots! finallyyyy!
Ooooh this is all right up my alley! Side note: a fantastic brand out of Calgary (where I live) called Lit makes a fantastic dark green glitter called Caviar Dreams…their stuff is amazing btw.
Hey JD-where is this sold in Calgary? It sounds interesting.
LE Paint Pots! Yeeesssssss!!!
Fix + Lavender sounds awesome. Are the feline kohls a few years old? Do you have any past reviews/pics?
looks like it might be just a few from this list…
Fix+ lavender? That sounds lovely~
Dear MAC: Please stop this blessed madness before I have to get a second job to afford your goodies. 🙂
Yessss! Now I can finally try the coveted Feline! Unless it sells out before I can get my hands on it lol.
Christine- when will the Tartan Tale collection be up? How long do collections typicallly run for? I want to get some stuff for Christmas, so I want to make sure that it’s still there!
October 28th is the launch date for at least the colour collection part of Tartan Tale. They usually release it in parts, but I’m not sure.
Thanks Christine! btw- happy belated birthday (I think)
Thanks, Eliza 😀
o0o lipgeleeeeeeeesss!!!!!!! yay!
the Fix+ Lavender sounds nice too. i love the smell of lavender….not too sure about a scented fix+ though. didnt like the rose one from last year.
You had me at “paint pots”. Totally sold.
Can I just say I can’t keep up with all these collections! lol There is so much stuff and so many things sound lovely. I want them all!
ooooh new pp’s and FELINE!!! andddd… I’m likin’ the e/s quad too!
FELINES !!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSS
oh my god im glad my wallet isnt here while i look at this! haha love the sound of…everything!
I love the name! I’m excited for the promotional photos 🙂
as a frugal mac buyer, the lip gelees and paint pots seem to be the only things in this collection worth excitment.
though, not the gold paint pot- that color seems so ordinary and consistant amoung most brands.
New Paint Pots AND Feline!!! I need to get a second job lol.
Darnit…was so excited about the quad but I have three of the perm shades already (and Retrospeck isn’t great texturewise)…oh well. I also wonder if those BPs will be hard like Summer Rose was.
though the paint pots sounds fabu.
i’m def getting the caviar dreams quad, at least ONE feline. and if i love it another, and the grey paint pot. and if the swatches are freaking awesome more paint pots…
omg…
Tinted Lip Conditioner SPF 15 Lavender in Calm Mode Light neutral beige (Limited Edition)
yes!! Missed a similar one at Warm and Cozy. They need a light beige tinted conditioner thats not limited!
YEAH!!! NEW PAINTPOTS AND LIPGELEES!. i want to get those, quite [please, flustered and tineted lip conditioner, and fix + lavender.prob also the feline e/s- never had it . and the poders and nailpolishes ill have to check out. cant wait !
I’m excited for this collection. I’m finally gonna try fix+. I’m only missing one eye kohl in this post. Specktra says there is also an eye kohl called “I get no kick”. Maybe you forgot it? Thanks for everything you do!
Yeah, this is not my collection, i can save money for the Peacock collection 😉
Don’t like light colors, i need strong colors.
Ooooh, Lavender Fix+!?! I know I will have to get the new paint pots 🙂
This collection seems more wearable than the other cool ones, like Chill. I’m disappointed on the quad though, I think I already have 3 of them! But yay for the PPs and lavender!
Wow. I nearly squealed out loud when I saw all the collections were posted and I am on the bus into work! Well done Christine fir the excellent work. On my list are the quad, grey paint pot, pink cream colour base, pigments, purple fluidline and kissable lipsticks….and that’s just the definite list…..it will prob grow once the promo pics and swatches come out. A combined buyers spreadsheet for the collections launching christmas week would be amazing(like the vv one you did)
yes feline! i lost mine so i really needly badly need my black feline. so happy now!
I found three pictures for this collection here: http://www.chicprofile.com/2010/09/mac-cham-pale-makeup-collection-for-winter-2010-new-photos-information.html
Excited for the paintpots (although I’ll limit myself to 1), the lavender tinted lip conditioner (finally, a nude one! I bet it won’t be completely opaque, which is great for me) and the highlight powders. I prefer them over the MSF’s usually, as I’m conscious about my pores around my cheek area.
The lipgelee’s sounds nice, and they’re a good value for the price, I actually prefer them to the lipglasses, but I’m not sure I need more very sparkly ones.
I was looking forward to the palette, but I own Brule and Et tu,bouqet, Retrospeck I don’t (for a good reason), and I bet I can dupe the pewter one. I’m kinda happy that I can basically “start using” that palette tomorrow, if I feel like it. 🙂
Hummm..the paint pots seem gorgeous…my husband won’t be pleased – again!!! I’m dying to see the products. When will you think they’ll unveil it??
here’s some preview pictures of the e/s quad and highlighters…so beautiful!
http://toomuchblush.blogspot.com/2010/09/cham-pale-sneek-peak.html
I’ll definitely be getting like 3 felines and those Chromagraphic pencils
excited for new lip gelees!
FIX+ LAVENDER ANNNDDDDDDDD FELINE?!?!?!? ASDFHGJAKSD;LF i freaking love you christine!!!
I know this might turn around and bite me in the tush, but I am happy that I am not interested in this collection. At least not yet. I need to chose which collections I will be spending money on and there are about four others I have more interest in. Yay!
Christine, do you possibly have any info about the availability of these Holiday collections in Europe? Lord, please make these goodies avilable in Poland!
Looks lovely, I think I might be in desperate need of all the paint pots, well, maybe apart from the coppery one! Gosh!
I believe all are coming to Europe, but I don’t have any specific info.
uuuu 🙂 thanks for the quick reply, guess there’s going to be like a month and a half break (saving, saving) and then I’ll be broke again. 🙂
cool, can’t wait! 😀
i’m super excited for the TLC’s, fix+ lavender, dangerous cuvee PP!
scrolling down the page, still scrolling i then see feline does double take WHAT OMG! i cant wait to try it as it is so popular i wonder why mac doesn’t just make it permenant??? probably to suck us back in hehe : )
I’m getting all the paintpots!!!
Hey Christine, I just want to thank you for all the work you do on these posts, especially the early-notification-I’ll-be-broke posts. It really gives people who don’t have a lot of spending $$ (me) to write down what I think I might like, wait for the post with pictures, edit it, think think think and purchase what I REALLY REALLY want. If I just went into a store when I saw a released collection and didn’t know anything about it, I’d just buy all or nothing. It’s really awesome that your so passionate. =D
Always happy to be able to help! 🙂 Thank you!
Hmm…I don’t know if there’s much I’d want out of this. Feline probably but I was expecting pigments and shadows. It’s good though, I’ll have more money to spend on holiday sets from other brands!
well damn… as i’m gearing up to drop $300+ on VV I get all excited about this collection! I cannot wait to try Feline, Fix+ Lavender and some other things sounded great!
Also – do you have any kind of sort of idea when you will get more info on Tartan Tale?
Thanks Christine and happy belated birthday!!!!
Thanks, Liz!
It’s up now!
the colours sound nice as long as they’re not super pale …. will have to wait for the swatches on this one.
YAY Feline!!! Now I just have to make the one I have last til December. 😀 The paint pots sound like they could be really nice too.
My wallet. My poor wallet.
LOL How many instances did MAC use “over time” in the Complete Comfort Creme description?
HAHA! I had to go read that description just for that!
NEW PAINT POTS, YEAH!!!! Excited to see the colors, they sound great. Also interested in two of the lipsticks and the I GET NO KICK eye kohl…
Poor, poor wallet.
I don’t know why, but for some reason I keep reading charm-pale, lol. What does the cham stands for? The paint pots I like and those two middle lipsticks.
^ The cham stands for champagne.
The colors appear too frosty for me, but maybe I will change my mind once I see them in person.
O lol I was thinking that. Thanks.
interested in: paint pots, feline and one nail lacquer
what’s the special reserve highlight powder?
Open Note to MAC:
Give Christine a break! These collections are gorgeous, but did you have to ruin her Christmas by launching them the day after?!?
I buy them online anyway 🙂 I’ll have to drive back early so I can get home, but it should be fine!
wait isnt the 26th of December a Sunday? i though mac only releases collections on Thursdays……….thanks for the info Christine you are amazing 🙂
yay!!! so excited about the paint pots, bubble lounge, and eyeshadow quad!
christine, can you do a post about feline and all the wonderful things you can do with it, so those of us who haven’t tried it can see how amazing it is?
i’m curious to see what all the hype is about!
also, can anyone tell me what the chromographic pencils are good/used for?
CHRISTINE!!
I NEED TO START SAVING UP!
look at all these holiday collections!
I need everything from this Cham-Pale collection! I’m already feeling panicky about getting everything I want.
oooh I’m excited for Chill on Ice paintpot (:
can’t wait for photos 🙂
Yay feline and new paint pots. I need to see the eye kohl before I get excited about it. The lavender fix+ sounds nice especially for.someone like me who needs a motley lavender to calm the red im my face lol
I’m surprised Shimpagne Mineralized Skinfinish isn’t coming out with this! It seems so appropriate.
i was thinking the exact same thing! What a shame
This collection is right up my street! I want three paint pots, feline and also the eyeshadow quad as I’ve been wanting brule and retrospeck for ages.
The highlight powders sound so beautiful but I need to stop buying cheek products!
Thanks for the heads up on this collection Christine…I am already saving!
Thank you Christine! 🙂 do you know when you may be able to post swatches? Maybe not till December? So excited for this one, thank you! 🙂
I am not able to do swatches and photos until I am able to purchase the collection, typically. Sorry!
Ok thank you! Love your swatches and website!!! Hope you’re doing well! 🙂
Thanks, M!
ok so……MAC is getting all of my Christmas money this year, this of course is based on what sounds good on the description. In reality I may not even get half of the stuff on my list.
but thank goodness I hate Lavender scented stuff so passionately
UGH! I am forever poor! Dangit MAC!
Loving this collection! Interested in:
Caviar Dreams Eyeshadow Quad
Chilled on Ice pp
Let Me Pop pp
Feline
Chromagraphic Pencil
Too bad this is right after Christmas when i’m broke! lol good thing I didn’t buy anything from the FF or VV collections! Definitly need the quad and feline though!
Are you going to get pictures for any of the holiday collections? also are you gonna get to get the products and do reviews and swatches? not just for this one but for any or all of the holiday-ish collections? hahaha I hope you are! please let me know!
Hi Allison,
I always review MAC collections – but I usually am not able to do so any earlier than when it goes on sale to the public.
stupid question, but I have to ask. how is feline different from smolder??
Different formula, darker.
I am very excited I am gonna get so many things from this collection. Its the only one im really interested in lol. My wallet is healing from the mac venomous villains collection!
I’m really excited about this collection. I love paint pots! Do you know how much Fix+ Lavender will be?
I imagine it’ll be about the same price as Fix+ is.
so excited for the lavender scented stuff! <33
can someone tell me what i kohl powder is….just as i thought i knew it all!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cool! I really want to try those paint pots out I don’t have any so far 🙂 I love gold, and that caviar dreams quad seems nice since I am almost out of my retrospeck eyeshadow!
I cant wait for the paint pots the descriptions sound sooooo nice
i am looking forward to the paint pots 🙂
The price of the Special Reserve Highlight Powders are going to be $28.00. This collection is going to be awesome!
SO excited about ALL ofthe paint pots and the quad!! thank you so much Christine for etting all the information up so early so that I can start planning out hw to spend my money.
PS MAC, my wallet hates you 🙂
I think I am more excited for this collection than Tartan Tale. The gold paint pot and the tinted lip conditioner sound amazing!
I’m definitly excited about the quad the colors sound like they would work really well together. I also have never gotten around to getting Fix + so I think I might buy it when this comes out if its not too strong of a lavender scent
oh my lord, i absolutely love paintpots, and highlighting. i can’t wait
I NEED to see a swatch of Chilled on Ice. It sounds like a nice color, and I am saving up for all the Holiday collections from MAC. This would be my first paint pot:)
LIPGELEES YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
does anyone know when the pictures for the collection will be realeased?
Do you know if you can back to mac for these lipsticks and the lipsticks from stylishly yours?
I know you can’t back to mac for tartan tale lipsticks i was wondering if it was the same for these.
I believe so!
I talked to the MUA at the Mac store in Times Square and they said the only reason we couldn’t B2M for Tartan Tale was because of the limited number of lipsticks they had, but it wasn’t going to be that way for future LE collections.
Hope that helps!
I was able to Back to Mac for a Tartan Tale lipstick.
Wow, there are no pictures posted but I’m excited to see the paint pots! 🙂 Can’t wait for pictures.
Is the Feline kohl power worth getting? I haven’t tried it and I do not wear eye liners often but i’m always looking for must have products!
Hey Christine. Do you think the feline khol will be selling out like Mac stereo rose? I really want one
I need both of those highlight powders. They look so beautiful in the pan, I really hope they don’t sell out.
Kinda boring beige… Except the Beauty Powders which are just called Special Reserve Hilight here because it’s a wine term…. Bet you your eye lash curler they’ll be blush on me. NW 15. They always are.
Been wearing Gel lippie for years! Wonderful, but needs lip erase under. Or, MAC, can we get a gold pencil please?
I MUST have this collection! And that’s saying a lot because I’m usually ho-hum about MAC collections! I am a tried and true neutral girl and on the fair side so these hues are complimentary for me. Love it!
Hi Christine….will this collection come out a couple days earlier online, like MAC normally does or will it be released online on the 26th, the same day when it hits stores?
It probably will come online a little early.
Christine, would those colors (paints pots, highlight powders…)work on medium dark skin? I feel like this collection is more for paler skintones. Reading the descriptions, which ones would you recommend?
Thanks in advance!
I really don’t know – I don’t feel comfortable recommending anything until I see it in person!
Thanks to musingsofamuse.com for this. Here is the first look at this collection. I’m not intrigued by it though some of the colors look nice. The model is scary as hell! Looks like Jocelyn Wilderstein. Bad plastic surgery look. Enjoy fellow MAC lovers!
http://www.musingsofamuse.com/2010/11/mac-cham-pale-collection.html
the highlighters look amazing. and i still have my eye on the Fix+ Lavender =}
MAC Cham-Pale Sneak Peek pics here
http://thenc40girl.blogspot.com/2010/10/mac-charm-pale-teaser.html
ooh! i love a collection based on gold tones, such a holiday theme! cant wait for pics on the paint pots, but the eyeshadow quad? does anyone else not like retrospeck? oh well, i can’t wait to experience this launch 😛
Will it be special packaging ?
Not that I know of.
the highlight powders and the paint pots interest me a lot. maybe the lipsticks and the eyeshadows. we´ll see how much my purse will allow ;).
I’ll be getting the grey Paint Pot, a back-up of Feline (maybe a couple) and that’s probably about it. I’ll also take a look at I Get No Kick eye kohl and *maybe* the highlight powders.
I love Fix+ but I’m not fussed about getting a scented one; I love Paint Pots but I have Bare Study, Fresco Rose and Rubenesque which are all quite light and frosted; I could maybe do with a pale gold lippy but as two are perm I could get them whenever; the quad looks…meh and I already have 2 of the shades; the lipgelees look pretty dupeable and unexciting, I already have the light Chromagraphic pencil and can get a backup from the Pro store whenever I need one; I’m not fussed about lip conditioners or the face cream, and although the platinum nail polish looks like a lovely shade I’m not a huge fan of MAC’s nail lacquers generally.
So hopefully a cheap collection for me – YAY!
OMG im in loveeeeee why is MAC doing this to me why! im already broke from the VV collection….
SO EXCITED FOR THE LIP GELEES! I bought all 4 of the last ones and man oh man do they sparkle. LAST FOREVER and add so much bling to my lips……I get constantly complimented on them.
That quad looks nice, but I am not that into frosty shadows.
So excited about this collection, most of my Holiday money will prob go to MAC. So excited to try Feline for the first time.
Oh goody. A nude collection! I’m excited for the lipgelees!
Ha, I said this on my Twitter but I am so glad I didn’t buy anything from A Tartan Tale because this collection is just…me. I love everything so, I may have to buy everything. Even the Fix+ Lavender; I’m out of Fix+ right now so I think I’ll just wait for this new one!
OMG YAY! MAC Feline! Have been waiting to get my hands on it for like, forever. ^^ The nail lacquers look awesome too. Oh god, my purse is going to need a fire extinguisher at this rate…
Paint pots. Oh yeah! Unfortunatly I have 3 of the 4 eyeshadows in the quad. Feline is totally in there too. MAC should make it perminant, but at least they realize its popular enough to keep repromoting it.
The tinted lip conditioner and the pale gold paint pot have my name all over them
*sigh of relief* I’m not really into pale colors lately. I’m glad there’s really nothing in this collection that appeals to me, because my makeup wishlist is way too long already! 🙂
Christine, isn’t this palette similar to the Fafi eyes 1?
I don’t have it at the moment.
What are must haves for this collection?
Since I have not seen it, I don’t know, sorry!
Nothing pale goes over very well on me, so I’ll be skipping most of this collection. Maybe something will catch my eye once I see swatches or go see the colors in store.
Hi Christine, the complete comfort creme will cost 32$
Thanks, Karrie!
and the Highlight Powders 28$
Oh I so hope this goes international. Sometimes we get lucky *crosses fingers*
im so excited for the fix+ lavender and the lip gelees!
Crap. So many things I want. Wallet is weeping.
i want mostly everything may be my biggest splurge since the forecast collection.. there are so many esentials in ths collection.
yes!! Finally a collection I am super excited about!!!!!
I love everything!!!!
The only thing I want is the paintpots!! Would love caviar dreams but really don’t want the rest of the quad 🙁
How similar do you think the TLC is to last years in Feelin Good? The description is exactly the same
I haven’t seen it, so I don’t know.
the paint pots are pretty but theyre not a good base for me as they crease after 4-5 hours. If I put them over another shadow base like the primer potion would both things work just as well?
It could – if you have a paint pot and UDPP, you could try it and see 🙂
This collection is pretty but not suited for my taste. I’m going to hold off until the Peacocky & MIckey Contractor collections come aorund. Any idea when we will see promo pictures of these two? How about the stylishly collection that is coming out at the same time as this one?
Now this is a collection I can really get into! Everything is so me. Love it!
Grrrr I hate the new quad packaging because its so difficult to depot! Got no kick seems interesting…
Is it me or is that promo picture kind of weird?
Its really weird…plus i think i see nipple…please tell me im wrong
I love these colors. I’m more for natural and pale shades even though it will be still winter and cold when this collection will be available. 🙂
No blushes =-(
Et Tu, Bouquet?
My favourite Mac colour name of all time!
Is it just me, or is the finish on the powder very unsettling. It looks like the product encountered some trauma!
I noticed the model in the promo is wearing a very Lady Gaga-ish latex outfit, however…hopefully MAC will Photoshop out the model’s lack of a pasty?
that girl in the pic has a nipple showing lol. and i’m okay with that, but it’s a bit of a shock considering the society we live in.
Urgh I don’t want to be a terrible person saying this but the promotional picture turned me off a little >__>
looks like I’ll be passing on this collection. To pale for my dark skin!
LOVE the paint pots! I’m getting two or three of them, and the lightest lip gelee!
Oh yes, this collection may just be great for the pale like me! I’m definately checking it out when it releases. xx
It is really annoying to me that we still don’t have a price for the highlight powders. I want them but not if the price is ridiculous. I just want to know now if it’s yay or nay.
Cant wait for this collection to launch! Looks so usable & gorgeous!
This is an exciting collection !!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it sad that because these promo pics look amazing I should feel disappointed automatically? Lol seems like every time I write a list of things to get I never get anything because they aren’t what I thought
This collection intrigues me very much!
Definitely want to try Feline, and maybe a Lipgelee and/or Tinted Lip Conditioner!
I’m sure I’ll get at least 2 of the Lipgelees, since I love them so much. I might be interested in the Lavendar Lip Conditioner or Fix +. The beige Lip Conditioner seems too similar to Close for Comfort from the Warm & Cozy collection. The e/s quad looks really pretty, but I already have 2 out of the 4. It’s great that they’re bringing back Feline and the Chromagraphic pencils (they should just add them to the permanent collection). I’m hesitant to get any new Paint Pots because the ones I have are not creamy at all.
Does anyone know if this collection will come out a couple days earlier online like usual? Or will it be available online the same time it hits stores?
They usually show up on Tuesday before the Thursday launch 🙂
OMG! I love this collection, there goes all of my saved up money!!!
Why do MAC have to come out with such good collections??
I cannot wait for the highlight powders, paintpots… and I absolutely love the nail polishes!
Should I try feline? I have smoulder, are they basically the same thing?
OMG!!! I’m sooo glad I didn’t spend any money on the Tartan collection. I can save up for this because it all looks so nice. My kind of colors for the winter 🙂
Ah, silly question, but what are the two products under the image of the model?
I’m excited for the quad because I just started collecting mac and don’t have those eyeshadows yet! They all look so pretty! I’m excited for the new paint pots too:)
uh-oh.
Neah! I think I’ll pass on this collection….everything just sounds…..too frosty 🙁
Definately getting quad and paintpots 🙂
Can’t wait to see swatches 🙂
I want it all!!
Seriously – make Feline permanent already!! 🙂
omg thats the new alexander mcqueeb model! shes the main girl on the website.
It’s a done deal, all of the Paint Pots are MINE! >:)
LOVE LOVE THE EYE QUAD…
Not really digging the colours or seeing anything special in this collection. Maybe I’ll get the quad if that. Hopefully Peacocky will be better.
YAAAYY!!! MAC is REALLY REALLY being nice on my wallet for these past few collections :D:D:D cant tell u how happy i am that the only thing that interests me here is FELINE!!!! thanks Christine
Yay for new paintpots! I think I’m skipping on the quad, I have every shadow except for caviar dreams… not worth it.
What are the Chromagraphic pencils supposed to be used for?
I’ve made my list but I’ll have to wait to see them in person or see swatches on here!
wow so excited for this!!
even though i lean towards dramatic, intense colors, i’m super excited for this collection because i see these colors working beautifully during winter. especially excited for new paint pots, the highlighting powders and lipsticks!
I’ll be skipping this one, just getting a lip conditioner I need anyway!
That promo pic seems way too severe for what sounds like a light, sparkling, “bubbly” collection. Strange choice!
Hello chilled on ice paint pot! Come to mama!!! 😀
Thank you for updating this post with pictures! So far all I really really want is the Dangerous Cuvee paint pot, and perhaps one of the lipgelees.
Somehow the promo image reminds me of Narnia.
Yeah she looks like Aslan the lion in the first Narnia movie.
FYI people, I covered backstage during last weeks New York Fashion Week and this stuff was at just about every show. Beautiful collection. I’m excited to finally see it come out in stores.
Yay for new paint pots! Can’t wait to get my hands on the white gold one and the grey one!
Paint pots!!
Calm Mode needs to be permanent already
The model for the campaign is ugly but at least she’s unique with it. I like her hair and strong cheekbones.
Also Flustered lipstick and the lip gelees sound good, and the paint pots. Oh OK also the beige lip conditioner.
I have to say. I feel that this collection is suppose to represent natural, gentle and calm, but the model is scaring the bejesus out of me. Yikes! She’s seems too rough for this collection.
Not to be a major pain Christine, but any idea when the Stylishly Yours collection photos will be up?
Fix + Lavender!!!!!! 🙂 And FELINE! Never tried it, so I can’t wait. OH AND PAINT POTSS!! HOLLLAAAA!!!
Well hellooooo there, wearable colours…. $_$
AHH!! This is the collection for me <3
i’ve never had feline! so i think i’m gonna grab on for me and one for a friend whos birthday is at the beginning of january! is it possible to call the store and reserve products?!
Yes yes yes! I’m so excited about this collection! I don’t liked the last two LEs, except the Maleficent nailpolish, so finally something pretty nude stuff. =)
Did MAC really think it was a good idea to have a model’s nipple showing?
I’m excited for the new paint pots – don’t see many new colours for those. Not in love with the promo pic. She looks angry.
I don’t understand the difference between Feline and Smoulder! Aren’t they both black eyekohls?
Also what does a chromagraphic pencinl do and is it worth getting fix + lavender if I dont have fix plus yet?
Feline is a Kohl Power, which is a different formula 🙂
i cant wait for this collection.i love sparkly nudes! when is this comming to the UK?????? :)P.s. love your website/info on these brand Temptalia 🙂
