I'm not losing interest at all, but I do wish this would be released earlier. I think sometimes when we find out about a collection too far ahead of time and then it takes awhile for it to be released we start getting bored, lose interest, etc. We haven't seen swatches or really heard anything else concerning upcoming collections which usually give us some happiness. As of now. I'm still planning on getting three lipsticks, the pb and maybe an eyeshadow. Not sure it all depends. I do like the Marilyn collection a lot more than the Nars x Andy Warhol collection, plus that is way expensive and there are barely any new lippies or blushes to get excited about. At least with Marilyn there are some new stuff. IMO.

Hush now! The earlier the info the better!

Even without swatches, the color stories help me get an idea of what might be the best products spread over a few collections - like I knew I'd rather wait till the pressed pigments for some neutral shadow, rather than getting it from Electric Cool or Marilyn.

Please don't get me wrong. I LOVE finding out info for upcoming collections early. It's just that if we don't get the newer info fast enough I feel I get a tad bored with knowing what is already expected to come out. Does this make sense?

oh sure it does, hon - I'm just teasing you! I'm still playing with all my Styleseeker goodies, which I love, so that's keeping me busy. We're certainly having an info decline, but then again, updates aren't happening for a little bit - maybe we'll still get surprise info in a few weeks!

One thing, this collection is pretty subtle. It's just variations on red and neutral eyes. For me, it's really straightforward about which shade or two is going to work the best on lips or eyes for me, since these are the sorts of colors that I get all perfectionist about and need them to 100% work. I made up my mind about them, and then all the fantasy and thinking about different cool combinations of products from within the collection is over. I'll get excited again when that perfect red is in my hot little hands, but for now Marilyn is a bit

for me!

I don't like the packaging to be completely honest. I feel like the designers didn't put much effort on creating something unique that reflects the beauty idol Marilyn used to be and still is. I also find myself quite dissapointed by the eyeshadows, at least from what I can see - since we there are no swatches available yet - they really look alike to some of the classics. Although I fell in love with the Pure Zen lipstick as fast as I saw it!
I'm getting puzzled though about the frenzy that is expected to happen. What are we (that we don't belong to the MAC pros) going to do if the products run out of stock as fast as they are expected?

The way I see it, we have a few options:


  1. Stalk the website.

  2. Make sure you're at your local store or counter right before it opens.

  3. Visit/call your local store or counter NOW to see if you can preorder or hold the items you want.

  4. Purchse from eBay and other members if all else fails.

I'm going with option 1. The collection should also be available from other online stores like Macy's and Nordstrom, so there's another chance there. This collection is a big deal and it's not online only, so I think there will be a restock if items sell out. But you never know for sure if MAC will restock or not and when. Better to have your game plan in place.

CartoonChic, you had me rolling literally. This is so very very true. I'm with you on the #1 option. I will start my stalking about a week earlier than it's release date.

Okay, what blushes do we feel are essential? And is it just me, or is there Red Overload here? I need to get a list together and get some items on hold. I definitely need swatches on the red lipsticks, but my fear is they will the first to go OOS

so far I'm getting the BP (one for me one for a friend for a swap), the blushes (when I see swatches we will see which one/s), and the bright lippies.

Those options would be VERY helpful IF THE GREEK WEBSITE WAS UP TO DATE. Nothing is organised there, you can't even find the current collections! I'd better go to my local store and as them for the excact release date, so that I will be there before it opens

Thank you very much for the advice!

So ar i know i am definately getting the lashes and a few of the lipsticks. I think I will wait for swatches before I get too carried away and make a huge list. 3 lipsticks so far on the wish list with lashes isnt toooo bad.. arggh I hope!

Glad I could brighten your day a little! I was bored and just decided to have some fun with the emoticons.
