So I was looking back at holiday collections and for like the past 3 or 4 years, the palettes have been pretty much the same. Browns, dull greyish blues and dull greyish purples, mostly the same colors with different names and ALWAYS Magic Moor. Good lord, MAC needs to hire new people to come up with some new color ideas,
Yup, they're so exchangeable. But I guess the holiday collections are aimed rather at average customers looking for gifts (so conventional/likeable colors make sense), not at us makeup junkies who like some more extraordinary stuff. At least that's my experience, I don't know. But all in all, I do have the impression that not a lot of women in Germany wear lots of makeup, not to think of flashy/extravagant colors or rocking bright lips or smoky eyes during daytime. So those lame products seem to sell quite well here, lol. Don't wanna offend anybody, but for example, most of my friends, even the super fashionable ones, mostly just wear something to improve their complexion (tinted moisturizer or powder) and maybe some mascara or eye pencil. Might be different in other places. But still, I totally agree with you!
LOL, didn't know about Magic Moor being included in each and every palette! Maybe because I don't even read the desciptions of the holiday palettes. I own it in the (perm) Pink Freeze palette and actually, it's not bad. Really like my Pink Freeze palette (except from Pink Freeze itself, which is horribly frosty).
