MAC Divine Night Collection (October 17, 2013)

[Miss Dynamite]

Whoo feelings.

In any case I think the board is just changing. Not that that's a bad thing, just a fact. I think of it as MAC making a shift in people's perceptions. They used to do fewer launches and collections last longer so there was never any hype or rush. Now however there's 2 sometimes 3 collections a month and they're doing more and more high-profile stuff.

The higher profile stuff will - of course - bring folks who's major career is e-bay. MAC's created the hype machine and let's face it getting collections these days is ridiculous. Now its partly "Oooh I gotta get this" and "GURL I GOT this, you know MAC ain't easy for everybody but I got mine (cheese face" so the competition (intentional btw) is raised.

Facts are this board tends to stalk, announce, and discuss collections and that fact is getting out. Folks steal info from Specktra ALL THE TIME. Major blogs in fact, lol, so its not like we're getting thanked and patted on the back for our contribution to someone else's pocketbook. It was only natural eventually folks would get sick of the game and do something different.

I'd personally advise everyone to stop talking about any new systems, plans, pm's and etc. lol. Work it out behind the scenes

and if it don't work out then it wasn't meant to be

The thing people are trying to avoid is any drama and I think talking about this stuff just brings a ton of it.

Yeah, MAC definitely used to be much different. I remember Spring Colour Forecast, I was still buying stuff from that collection over a month later. Now you're lucky to get items 10 minutes after a collection launches. And not to mention all of MAC's secretive BS. I want old MAC back, I think everybody agrees it was much better.

I

Specktra. I joined because I wanted to get some new tips and refresh my makeup stash and try new things. My wallet is empty because I am on this blog daily, but I have some awesome goodies. lol! I am a newbie, but I am truly grateful because I always missed out on LE items in the past. So, thanks to the veteran members for your hard work.

[ForeverJenn]

Back to divine night talk! Who's actually ready with a set list of what they're getting? I still have too many "maybe's"!

 

[BrinaBoo10]

I'm really on the the fence with talk of the town and STBS..does anyone have those on their list??

STBS is, but I am not sure about Talk of the Town. It was on my original list.

Dear Richelle I'm sorry for all the work we're giving you....on the same note, know that we appreciate everything you do around here

Who you telling, lol. I miss the old MAC a lot...a lot a lot a lot. Not merely because of less hype, but I feel like since there were less collections they tended to put only their biggest and best ideas forward. These days...there's hit and miss collections, collections where its clear there were technical issues but they still rushed it out, collections with horrible premise ideas.

I got the opportunity to meet two of the individuals behind MAC collections who work with the planning and color execution. They were both perfectly lovely, wonderful and funny...but...

You ever had that feeling of talking to someone perfectly nice and still wanting to punch them in the face?

 

[Richelle83]

Ha! Thanks Spectacular and PrettyPackages, I got so wrapped up in things!

 

[PixieDancer]

Dear Richelle....

That is all.

Decisions, decisions! Same problem...
There is so much I want to buy in the next 3 months that I have to make wise choices on what I purchase.

And I need to actually stick to the lists I make ^^ I always go back for more lol.
