anyone else disappointed with holiday formal?

[MCninja]

just me?

it just..does not look as appealing to me this year.

maybe it is me.

 

[DaizyDeath]

well i am just beacuse i hate pallettes
but im looking forward to the new collections comming up.

 

[a914butterfly]

same here, nothing exciting which is good since i can save more money for other collections that are more appealing to me.

i only got the intense pallette because it only had 1 repromote, smut, and i dont have that one yet. the others were kinda pointless for me to get since i have all those rempromotes.

I actually really liked the warm eyes pallette since I had none of the colors and the intese eyes since I only had smut.

I also really liked the face brush set, even tho I had them all, I used them this weekend when I traveled and they are the perfect size.

I was not to impressed with the lip sets tho.

I loved the packaging and was excited for the collection to come out until I saw it. I am looking forward to the other collections.

Holiday is always sort of a bummer to me. So much is repromotes that I buy few little. This year - nothing!

I think the bags look a bit cheap. I was also dissapointed in the Couture pictures as well. Thank goodness I can save some money.

yeah, I am so dissapointed inthe cool and smoke eyes pallettes, however, i do have my eye on one of the brush sets!

I love the packaging but it's more so the colours and shades that don't wow or fit me (for example, I only like 2 of the mini shadesticks and maybe only 1 or 2 of the mini lipgelees, which totally doesn't justify buying the whole set). And I'm still debating on the warm eyes. I don't really mind though, it helps me in being more picky about what I buy as opposed to buying things for the sake of buying.

I don't know if it was because I didn't have money to spend or just because I wasn't really interested in the holiday stuff, but yeah, I was disappointed. I am thrilled to pieces with the nocturnelle pigments and I love the brow beat and mascara brush, but I didn't buy a single thing from the holiday sets this year. Even with the stuff coming out, I am just like "meh" I already have most of the colours in the sets and I can live without the mini versions. I am excited about Jewelescent and the Couture collections though. Oh, Danse looks gorgeous too

I agree, I was disappointed in the Smoky eye palette - and I thought I would've gotten it for sure :/

I'm not interested in palettes, so most of Holiday passes me by. I like the temptations/dress sets, though - they're great value for money.

I'm more bummed out about Nocturnelle. Man, that collection couldn't have been more of a let down if it tried.

 

[ledonatella]

I love the eye palettes except the cool one, but don't care about the lips or little stash bags. Brushes are always nice though, but that's something they have every year that doesn't change much.

 

[hypodermic]

I'm the only one who loves the cool palette I think!

 

[KJam]

I'm an eye palette whore, so I loved it. I thought they did a good job putting colors that would look nice together, although I would have preferred more new colors

 

[fairytale22]

I actually never buy MAC palettes and this time I got Smoked AND Warm and love them both!

 

[Ella_]

Im disapointed in it. I only want the intense eyes palette, the face brush set and maybe the red lips clutch.

 

[MCninja]

actually, sorry, i'm a liar. I do like the intense palette.

Big Thumbs Up To Nocturnelle & Holiday/formal Black!

I love, love, love the Holiday/Formal Black collection!! The palettes are magnificent. Of the 24 colors in the palettes, I only had 3 of them. So, I was so excited to play with new colors! I am thinking of getting back-ups in all 4 of them. The packaging is wonderful.

The Nocturnelle collection is to die for! I have never seen such intense and flattering colors including the entremauve pigment, rouge noir lipstick and chance encounter lip glass. I thought the autobody red LV was the perfect red for my lips and skintone, but I am torn now between which one I like best. I purchased all of the eyeshadows from the Nocturnelle collection except beauty sleep and, also, purchased both pigments. Boy is that entremauve gorgeous wet!

I was not interested in the lip sets except Viva glam – which I got. The soiree, studio mists and loud lash collections are a bust for me, too. Sent studio mist back!

I’m looking forward to the future collections…..
