I was only going to get a lipstick and maybe one more item from this collection for the packaging. None of the colors excite me. However, I'm not paying $17 for a Mac lipstick. I might as well go buy Nars or something. So, skip.

I only want the lipsticks but that $17 price tag is annoying.....

Naw, definitely not. We should be hearing about the holiday collection soon. Hopefully anyway.

17 € for a lipstick in the US ? Well, it means at last 20 € here. I really need 3 lipsticks and the beauty powder whatever the price it will be. Some colours look really gorgeous, I'll have to pass other M.A.C collections I guess. I do not like their packagings but I do love the colours ! The beauty powder will be ok I think, my Glitter and Ice fell on the ground so I had to throw it away, the Marilyn is probably not extraordinary but I'll purchase it anyway.

Yes I was told the same release date, I will call my local M.A.C store in early september ( I love them all, they're really great with their customers here ) and give them the products names, I know I'll purchase 3 lipstick and the beauty powder.
Do you know what are the other collections to be released before the Marilyn collection, it would help in case I wish to pick up other things !

Thank you kimibos! Deeply Adored will be mine
. Since when are the lippies $17?
I thought it was going to be $15 for these? Guess I'm late to the ball game or something. I'll still spend the $$$ for this collection. Super excited. I love how everything looks. Wish it were coming out sooner because I want it now.

<-- i have to have deeply adored and the legendary b/p!!
I saw on one blog that the e/s are going to be $28 Canadian. SMH. Over size plus special packaging is pushing the price ridiculously high. I'll probably still pick up one ls and two eyeshaows. But I just cut my list by more than half. For the price of those 3 items I could repaint my sons bedroom which is on my to do list lol

They're already $18 for standard lippies here. Makes a lot of sense with the Canadian dollar trading above USD.
I'm not willing to pay $28 for MAC shadows. I can buy high end brands for about that. It's clear that they're trying to move upmarket, but I'm sure I'm not the only one increasingly just turning to the higher cost alternative in the first place since the difference isn't that material and I know I won't have to jump through hoops (how many had to site stalk and wait up until ridiculous hours to get BR items?!) to be able to buy a new collection (without even being able to swatch it in person).
I've been buying MAC since the 90s (sometimes more heavily than others), but it's never been this insane. I'm tired of the limited quality LE nonsense. Launch fewer collections and make enough to last a reasonable period of time (read: not 30 lippies for Canada online store).

My list has actually changed a lot from what I originally planned to get. I'm getting less.
Lipsticks:
Deeply Adored x2
Charmed I'm Sure x2
Love Goddess x2
Scarlet Ibis
Forever Marilyn Beauty Powder is a maybe.
I'll get Pure Zen and the lip pencils in regular packaging. The eye shadows have moved from a definitely to a not likely on my list. The larger size and price turned me off. I'm undecided about the Dazzleglasses.

Lippies (standard) are €18/$23 in Holland, I hate the price differences.
