I'm assuming the prices will be raised with this collection. Does anyone else agree? So far there are a few things I'm into but I'm going to wait for pricing to determine whether or not I need the stuff

Marquise D lipstick
Valiant eye shadow palette (maybe)
Mighty Aphrodite blush duo (might switch this one out with one of the MSFs instead but I'm not fully sold on them)

Well, good thing I'm not too interested in the colours here - more money saved!

Pink Power MSF, Marquise D' and Emancipation are all maybes until I see swatches, and maybe the Reflects Glitters if I can afford them. The big lipglass costing more is OK with me so long as there's more value - I get to the bottom of all my lipcolours so I'm not worried about it going to waste, and if the applicator is too big I'll apply with a lip brush.

One thing's for sure - I am NOT going crazy with this collection to be online the moment they start selling! If the things I like sell out fast, it just wasn't meant to be! :) Thanks for the links, everyone.

I surrender!! I love it, tackiness and all. I loved Wonder Woman so I want a lot of it and I love the colorstory.

Probables:
Spitfire l/s, Emancipation l/g
Wonder Woman l/g-have to b/c of the name
Both Blush Duos
Both MSF-please let the texture be divine, pretty please

Anything that involves licensing will require Mac to pay a royalty to the rights holder(s). If Mac wants to earn the same margin on their products, they will have to raise prices to compensate for the extra money they'll have to pay out. Since VV flew off the shelves despite the higher prices, I don't see any reason why they would be shy to raise them again for this collection. I think that making some of the products oversized is a way of hiding an increase, as is the special packaging.

Yeah, finally some real news! I'm in trouble again... I want: Spitfire Lipstick Heroine Lipstick Athena's Kiss Lipglass Secret Identity Lipglass Lady Justice Quad Marine Pigment Amazon Princess Blush Duo The maybe's are Mighty Aphrodite Blush Duo(I think I have enough blushes in this family, so the swatches will help me decide) and one of the colored mascaras. I am not crazy about Mac mascara (one even made my eyes burn), but I want a funky colored mascara. I have a blue one by YSL so maybe I will go for green. I'm excited. Now if we can have prices, pretty please.

Gonna need to see swatches to be sure, but I'm interested in the Valiant quad and Mighty Aphrodite blush.

Mostly, I'm just gonna need the postcard, assuming it features that artwork!

k, after seeing the full product deets, I'm still skipping. Nothing is interesting me which is great for my no-buy :D Marquise D' is a great lipstick I have it from BBR but I have sooooo many lipsticks I never need backup of anything

Whew, just got back from Temptalia and man am I wanting everything! I don't have as big of a MAC collection as most people on this board, so I have a little bit of an excuse (heh) to go to town! I'm definitely grabbing all three quads, two of the lipsticks, and at least the Wonder Woman lipglass. Still trying to convince myself I don't need another magenta lippy (Spitfire) or coral blush (Might Aphrodite) but the names are too fun to pass up. I'll have to see swatches before I just grab everything. Also, am I safe in assuming the brushes are SE brushes? AGH, so much I want!

On another note--and warning, mini rant here--I'm pretty dismayed at the almost borderline nasty negativity on Temptalia about the packaging. Seriously people, it's just makeup! It's supposed to be fun! And if you don't like Wonder Woman, or comics in general, or can't appreciate comic styling, then don't buy it, you aren't the target audience! You can express your dislike about something without making it sound like those of us that are excited for this are pariahs. To me anyway, it smacks of a deeply-rooted self-consciousness if someone is that embarrassed to use one of these items (except maybe the ginormous eyeliner, LOL) in public. Not saying you're not allowed to not like anything, but no need to blast something someone else likes.

Gah.

Well, well, well.....pictures at last.

I'm happy to say there isn't too much making me crazy here.

I'll get all the colored mascaras if the formula makes the color show well on my lashes - wearing the green one with Ivy and the blue with Siahi will be fabulous looks all through the spring and summer, and I LOVE that rather light violet purple - that one for sure will show up. Only sorry they didn't go full Wonder Woman and do a red mascara. 'Used to have one years ago and it's just great for green eyes.

Everything else is a little up in the air.

I like the idea of a jumbo sized Penultimate liner, but I don't really need any more black liner in my life. It'd have to be something that makes dramatic cats eyes really easy to apply evenly on both eyes.
No MSFs, pigments, glitters or nail polish for me.
I'm intrigued by the blush duos, but I'm really going to have to see them in person first (although I'll probably reserve them, if my beloved store manageress lets me), since I'm pretty sure I have some similar things to use up before I splash out on more - nice compacts though.
Defiance quad has possibilities, but if I have 2 colors that are similar, I'll skip it.
I know I'll get a lipstick and a gloss or two - Spitfire (hope it's a Satin like Toxic Tale) and Wonder Woman/Athena's Kiss and/or Emancipation (although I think we'll see more shades very similar to Emancipation as Spring turns into Summer.)

I like that utility pouch - so cute for keeping your hands free when going out dancing, but I don't exactly need more of those same brushes. It'll be about the price point. Same goes for the mirror - nice, but chances are not necessary, unless it's some sort of crazy JUMBO-sized version. That could be fun.

Peacocky will still win for biggest haul through the summer so far.

Wow, so I just realized the release date is Feb 10th. How on Earth will I pull the money together? It'll take a miracle. I think I better hold on to that birthday money and pay my bills early. Now that I'm thinking about it, I don't need the blue pigment, I'm ditching the colored mascara and the coral blush duo. I really don't need any more lip products, but they seem to be pretty awesome.

Finally! Info!!

But, I too am skipping everything. I don't need another Marquise D' and although the blush duo's are tempting, I think they look pretty dupeable.
(I'm planning on picking up Benefit's Bella Bamba one of these days).
I think the supersized glosses and eye marker are just obnoxious.
I'm kind of over the MSFs. I really prefer a more subtle glow lately.
I actually think this collection is...dare I say... kind of boring. ?

I don't usually wear lipstick, but I really like the Marquise 'D. My question is would it work for me (NW 45) or is it something that only works on my fairer sisters? Anyway, So excited about this It's like my Christmas as I've only really gotten into makeup in the last 6 months so I don't own 90% of these things.

Yes, one Breastplate for me too.

That would really be hot. I think my hubby just might become a big ole fan of MAC fan if UPS guy dropped off a black box with a Wonder Woman breast plate.

I'm actually re-thinking the blush duo. I want the coral/pinkish one but in all honesty, I don't see myself mixing them so it'd make more sense to hold off and just get a separate coral and coral-y pink blush since I'm in the late beginning part of building my collection; these aren't a necessity for me. The only thing about the MSFs: will the bronze middle part have shimmer? I was hoping it'd kind of be like the sculpt & shape powder from the D Squared collection (which I missed) with a matte/satin bronzer in the middle and two shimmer ends for highlighting.

Wishful thinking I guess but that sounds like a better idea to me. I hope these are like that!!
