I love my classic parfume! It's been around since '91. I've been wearing it for a good 17 years and won't ever change!

THIS!!!!! I would DIE. DIE I tell you. Love Prince. I can see an Erotic City & Pop Life blush. The possibilities would be endless if this ever happened.

This has had the most OT diversions of any thread in a long time. Perhaps because of the scarcity of color collections in March and lack of Color Stories for collections that we know are up and coming. I am most excited about the quad but the color Ri Ri Woo sounds interesting. It looks like a more yellow based red in the latest pic, that could be my monitor, but it would be in contrast to the bluer based Ruby Woo. I am hoping that this will be solid collection and not something boring with predictable colors (cough, cough, MM) that will be banking on the celebrity name to sell it. For the sake of not being too negative, and BTW, in general I agree with the commentary on celeb endorsements being bogus for the most part, to me an endorsement is most meaningful if the celeb is actually using the product (Victoria Beckham being an example), but this series collection has the potential to be very popular with many choices appealing to a variety of skin tones. And, I was going to try and stay on topic, but I would love a Victoria Beckham collection because that girl has some (posh) taste.

I have never been so excited for a MAC collection in my life! The products and packaging look amazing. Can't wait for the launch.

I can live with out a prince collection not really into him, but if the products look nice maybe I would buy. It would really really be nice if there was a Michael Jackson collection that's a collection I couldn't live without.

Diamonds and Pearls beauty powder or highlighter? Little Red Corvette lipstick? When Doves Cry eyeshadow? I could go on!! MAC really should troll this board for some new ideas. They might be surprised how well they would sell!THIS!!!!! I would DIE. DIE I tell you. Love Prince. I can see an Erotic City & Pop Life blush.

A Prince Collection would be heavenly.

But instead of calling it Prince, they can just put the squiggle on it that represented him for a while when he was "The Artist Formerly Known As..."

RiRi Woo is supposed to be a bit bluer than Ruby Woo.

[Jennifer] Balbier [‘MAC’s senior vice president of global product development’] noted that Rihanna approached the task with a laser focus. “She wanted RiRi Woo to be slightly more blue-red and retro matte — a matte with moisturizer finish we’d used in a collection years ago and currently only have in one product,” she said. “She was especially adamant that the color be suitable for every skin tone.”

Or, like the Year of the Snake collection, they could deboss the pressed eyeshadows, blushes, and face powders (maybe even lipsticks) with THE SYMBOL

Gotta say, the names of his songs REALLY lend themselves to cosmetics! I barely even thought of that. Of course, i won't mention the Prince lingerie collection and the Prince boot collection...
Oh, the Prince makeup collection would SOOOO be for Team Purple! With a few other colors, of course, like Little Red Corvette lipstick and Strawberry Beret lipgloss...
And speaking of celebrity fragrances, did anyone every smell Prince's 3121 (i never did)?

Isn't it Raspberry Beret (retrieval from long-term memory banks)?
I really don't care for celebrity launches of makeup. I'm 45 years old and I don't need some flash in the pan star (not speaking of Rihanna, just generally) splashed across my makeup. If I wanted that, I'd go to Claires and buy a Justin Bieber lipgloss. I may be alone in this, but I think it cheapens the brand. MAC is MAC - I don't want to see someone else's name on it.
I can just barely live with it when the person is an icon and is dead (crass as that sounds); then they're really just launching products that evoke a look or era. But Nicki/Rihanna/Miley/Lindsey/Brittany (insert trainwreck in the making of your choice)? I don't like it. Have them do a campaign (like Johnny Weir); just please don't splash their name all over it.
And yes, I get that I'm not who they're targeting with these endorsements. Fine. But as previously discussed, my cohort can and does spend a lot of money at MAC. Their challenge is to remain relevant to their long-term customers while still attracting younger buyers.

Hahaha! Purple Rain, Pink Cashmere. A very duo chromed e/s that looks different on everyone called Graffiti Bridge.
