MAC - Wonder Woman Discussion

I disagree, look at how long this thread has been going on for. The suspense is killing everyone - the last thing MAC is worried about with this collection is loosing money. (If they were then why only send out 5-6 MSF's to each store?) MAC has a genius marketing/promotion team, they manage to stay relevant, downsize there products, jack up their prices and people continue to pay..what other industry can do that? Everything is going to sell out, everyone knows this, if you don't budget or end up skipping this collection, it won't hurt the company at all!

I agree that we should have a color story, promo images, swatches (not just the few that have been put up on this thread and magically disappeared..!) they're just promoting this collection differently and it seems to be working...

I think by shielding all of the info MAC is really screwing themselves over. Sure, they may be more wondering and anticipation, but if I don't know what's in the collection, I can't save and budget for it and they are therefore losing my money. At this point, I don't see anything I *need*, aka: skip. I want the color story!!!!

now that's more like it !

so many revisions on this collex... lol. It's gonna be like COC -- behind the scenes it was mayhem.

lol! coc was one of my all time favourite collections! its funny thinking that it went through so many changes - but the end result was well worth it!

You're totally right- from a marketing perspective, they're geniuses. I guess I sort of misspoke (it's been a *really* long day where I live). They're definitely trying to sell out of everything and they're also very smart in the way that people are more likely to impulse buy since they don't know anything about the products. I'm just sad I probably won't be able to buy much since I don't know what I'm dealing with and I haven't had time to save.

Once again- you're right! I'm not thinking straight with how tired I am.

I wonder if that gigantic red lipglass is 'Wicked Ways', just dawned on me! It was quite popular, I think they should bring that back - I love that colour! *Wishful thinking!*

That would be great! I love it, too, but that would save me some money since I don't need another....

I have to say it looks like I will be skipping this collection nothing is screaming buy me so far and I'm not that keen on the packaging

pippa! · Jan 9, 2011

so far this is looking like a skip for me - i love the box packaging but i hate the actual product packaging. i'll only pick up one item from this at most if i can find something i really love... so far all of the products aren't very exciting though

That's so strange to think of, since it turned out to be (from what I can tell) an extremely successful collection for them. I'm not sure that I hold out the same hope for this one, although that's just a matter of personal preference. CoC was my favourite collection of all time and the colours were a perfect match for my tastes. What I've seen so far doesn't really interest me (although I never got the Toen Grey quad for some reason, so I'm sort of interested in the one that looks like it), but again, that's subjective. I have a feeling that once I see everything, there will be a couple of goodies in there that appeal to me.

As far as the packaging, I love the pop-art style boxes, but I'm really not fond of the product packaging. Again, it's a subjective thing, but I find it too gaudy, particularly on the MSF. I'll definitely hang on to my boxes, though. Those seem collectible.

There is a pic of the quad in the new issue of Seventeen magazine. Its burgundy/plummy..sorta packaged like Hello Kitty was.

I am in love with the MSF but can't stand the compact.

If only the red portion were black instead..

thank you!!!you're so cute!!

I agree with you! I don't like the pink one at all, the blue one could be ok but I have deep truth yet..so I'm hoping for the third quad!!! anyway I'll buy one surely! I like too much the packaging and I collect the quads!

marajode · Jan 9, 2011

I just can't help but be incredibly turned off by this collection, not just the packaging, but the marketing. I think no matter what the product or what the packaging, I wouldn't want to buy strictly because of the way MAC is handling this. A presentation? Can't buy at it? Well, la di da.

Count me in the "like the box artwork" set , but the happy meal looking products, ugh.

panther27 · Jan 9, 2011

Maybe I'm the only one,but I absolutely love this packaging,I'm so happy MAC went with this design!Very 70s
