Prices are up on Temptalia, I'm glad lipstick is only $15.50, but no way would I buy a regular lipglass for $19.50! I mean, at least it's bigger sized, but they better be really special colors! I'm also glad that it looks like the navy blue polish has little flecks of glitter in it, although it looks more like blue than navy blue in the promo. I'm really not supposed to buy anything, but I might buy a couple of items depending on swatches, because I really love everything about this collection. I might grab: Spitfire LS, Spirit of Truth NL, or the Defiance eyeshadow quad (Star Studded looks fantastic in the promo!). Although the blushes look fantastic, only swatches will tell though

Well blow me down, the copy released by MAC relating to this collection, sounds just like something i'd write. But anyhooos.....'bigger and better-than-ever Mineralize Skinfinish banishes chalky powders to a land far away' according to MAC. So literally everything is being distributed from the land of the giants, huh?I assumed it was just the sharpie liner and lipglass' that were big...hmmm. Read that small deet on Temptalia.

Rockin, thanks for pointing that out! I'd love one of those depending on their looks! If it actually has wonder woman on the front, that baby is mine! I love the little comic they created, it's definitely fun!

Oooh a shirt? I wonder what it looks like! I will probably buy it regardless, you know, for collectors sake! lol.
I am excited to start seeing some swatches already! I'm going into my MAC store today to see if they have any info yet. And I really want to try and snag me one of those invites or postcards! I love it!

My ever changing list lol:
Lipstick
Lipglass
Eyeshadow
Blush
Brushes
Total: $199
I might skip the brush set, since they are SE. I know the quality is supposed to be the same, but I was really disappointed with the Hello Kitty face brushes. I might get them. The blush duo is also a maybe. I have 30+ blushes already. :/ If I skip those my total will be $125.50. I also want Marine Ultra pigment, and am trying to decide if the packaging is worth the extra $1.50 (it might just be lol).
Lipstick
- Marquise D'
- Russian Red
- Heroine
Lipglass
- Emancipation
- Secret Identity
Eyeshadow
- Valiant Quad
Blush
- Duo in Amazon Princess
Brushes
- Face Brush Set
Total: $199

Seeing the prices made me rethink everything lol. Im just going to get Marquis d ls and/or spitire ls Gold lariat msf Thats it. I was going to get the eye brush set but i already have a concealer brush and i got my h/g shader brush which is the 239. I wanted one of the mascaras but idk how opulash will work on me and since i read somewhere that mac will come out with colored zoomlashes id rather wait for that.

T-Shirt will be mine. I'm anxious to see what it looks like.
OH, I love the artwork on this.
I want a poster, part of a display, anything. postcards.
Maybe if I go to the counter every day between now and when this collection is over, I can become best friends with, bribe, hypnotize, whatever, one of the MA's, convince them that I need anything from the display. I WANT some of this artwork!!!
That one with her lassoing Medusa is still my favorite (lipsticks and compacts flying around? love that. love. And Medusa too? )
And I love any artwork with "Bang" "Pow", etc. And the strip parts. And did I get all little girl squealy when I saw the word MAC in a comic? Yes, I did.
""This is a cosmetic crisis! Prepare for MAC to combat Medusa's drab ray!"
And "The skies have opened. It's raining MAC! Praise Aphrodite!" too cute.
I need to decide something to get from this. Nothing is calling my name, nothing is exciting me. I've tried; I'm trying.
That's ok. Everything doesn't please everybody 100% of the time.
I may get one of the MSF's or a quad. I wish the MSF played some Wonder Woman audio when it opened, lol. like the talking Stila Palettes. either from Comic or show.
Why did I think one of the items was called "Lasso of Truth"? I guess when I saw Gold Lariat I subconsciously thought of the lasso of truth.
seeing more of the artwork puts my head in a place when I was a kid. My mom used to have the Ms. cover with Wonder Woman on it in a frame. "Wonder Woman for President". lol

I used to think Lynda Carter was the epitome of gorgeous and kick assedness. I remember the series being on TV in repeats like it was yesterday. pretty cool.
I just saw a bit on my news feeder about the Wonder Woman show that David E Kelley wants to make. Apparently the major networks have turned it down, but he wants to find a way to make the show happen. I had read something months ago, abaout that, but kind of cringed at the same time as being hopeful. I watch Smallville, and I could only imagine the major changes in story they would do to WW as well.

My budget for this collection is $150 so I'm getting:
Marquise D' Lipstick
Secret Identity Lipglass
Lady Justice Eye Quad
Mighty Aphrodite Powder Blush Duo
Golden Lariat MSF
I'd get the mirror but there are cuter ones on Amazon for less.

Shontay, I don't like the packaging at all and I agree with you 100%. I didn't expect ot like the packaging- I'm actually surprised at how much I love the boxes- but at the same time, it is precisely what I think WW packaging should be. It's in keeping with the theme colours of the comic and with the image of the heroine. I wasn't expecting anything different. I wasn't crazy about the VV packaging, but it was actually more restrained than I was picturing. By contrast, I absolutely loved both To The Beach and Liberty of London... It's all a matter of personal taste. I think that this packaging aligns perfectly with the theme.

Yup, the prices are definitely making me rethink everything. Seems WW isn't going to be expensive haul for me - I can't afford anything
$35 for the MSF and $19.50 for the lipglass, I don't even wanna guess the prices in euros
Blush duos seem to be normal sized with the $24 price tag though it'll probably be around 28-30€ here. If I remember correctly, SCFC blush ombres were $25 / 29€. I can live with the price if the pink blush is what I want it to be.
So, I'm thinking Spitfire l/s, Victorious mascara & Amazon Princess blush.
I'm dying to see swatches, come on Mac, just send the PR boxes already!

I have the same issue with VV and WW packaging. I was hoping it to bee more decorated and imaginative like GMLOL. In both cases it seems the boxes are way more nicer than the product packaging as if they kinda didn't go far enough and the end result is ok but nothing special. I've kept all my VV stuff in their boxes and I'll probably do the same for any WW item. I don't know if I can explain exactly what I mean but take Vainglorious e/s from VV, it looks like somebody cut off the Queen's head and placed it on top of my e/s lid. I mean, is that all they could come up with? With WW I would've liked even more comic-styled decoration like some Bangs! or Pows! or stars or whatever to make it more interesting.
