Really underwhelming considering the amazing packaging.
I imagine it went something like this...

MAC Product Development Leader: "Well, team, we did it. This collection looking just stunning. The hot glue gun was inspired, really inspired. Simmons, you're getting a promotion for that stroke of genius. And the metallic color is very eye-catching. People will be just thrilled to..."

*opens one of the closed products to find it's just the casing with no product inside yet*

".........................shit."

*mad scramble to grab any colors that are still in development and throw them in the empty packaging*

"Well, team, we did it..."

OK so I asked for a comparison swatch of BGRR and Enchanted One. She was kind enough to do it.

Left is BGRR and Right is Enchanted One.

Perhaps it's just the lighting, but Enchanted One looks a lot like Runway hit in this swatch and others...hmmm.....

Edit: I think it is darker--still seems very similar though

Hmm from the lipstick swatches I think the only one that would look even remotely sane on me would be Mystical but I really don't know. Pet me please isnt for me and the middle one looks quite brownish. I'm NW10..

Also nw10, enchanted one reminds me of kinda sexy which I expected a nudey color and it looks orange and gross on me ;(

Man I'm jealous! I wish I had BU'd it up! I just didn't realize how much I loved it until it was long gone. And that SE Archies version wasn't even worth bothering with!!
LOL @ Carbon reference!! (I'm guessing you meant 129SE?)
Nope, I actually meant 129SH. It has a regular appearance in various collections. It often comes in a pouch. It's useful, but I don't need it in dozens.

The 130, 131, and 187 in SH would be a dream.

While I appreciate everyone's differing of opinions, I have to admit Erine and Mac-Guy have always been super helpful to me and never steered me wrong and for that, I am grateful. Thank you both.

, please? All of this is slightly disruptive.

I'm really disappointed I don't want more from this collection. The packaging is so gorgeous.. and I'm never a packaging whore, but this time I just want things for them being so beautiful, but not one thing has screamed "BUY ME" except for the packaging. :|

Maybe if I'm lucky, one of the bronzers will be suuuuper good for my skin tone and I can justify trying it as I don't own a bronzer as I'm terrified of looking muddy/orange and then I can get the compact without guilt !

I am also curious about the brushes!

I'm really sad though, I was interested in an EDSF after not buying anything from Magnetic Nude...

I continued the discussion in pm's. It wasn't my intention to disrupt this topic that much, so I pm'd Erine to explain myself and if others have questions please feel free to pm me. I just hope people try to understand my point of view. I tried my best to not offend anyone and all I wanted was for people to understand how I feel weather they agree with me or not.

I am kind of disappointed with this collection...

I like Mystical lippie but it looks like a dupe for Aprés Chic.
Echanted One looks beautiful but I am sure on me it will look an orange mess (I use SFF NW10).
I am still curious about Goddess of the Sea.

So far I am getting Water Deities lipglass...
And maybe Sea Worship edes.

Mystical lippie does look like a dupe for Aprés Chic which I gave to my mother because I hated that color on me. I am thinking about getting the Enchanted One lipstick and that is all.
