The MAC site was a bit screwy right when they first put up the collection.
I was actually doubting the MAC site and the promo pics!
LOL Of course I am blinded by your beauty so if you told me the sky was purple I'd probably believe you!

Everything looks pretty unoriginal to me. Perhaps in person I'll be blown away, but the range of pinks and reds and browns seems extremely limited, and I don't see anything that I'm tempted to buy. And it's not an age thing, really, it's just a personal taste thing...the colors in this collection are either muted or bright but commonplace. I really go for unique colors, and I don't see any here.

It's not too bad, I really like Sharp Beige & Strawberry Blonde l/s, and Ignite l/lac though I'd not get it. The Thunder Eyes quad looks great but there's only one shade in it that really stands out.
I'm a bit puzzled on the Studio Lights concealor-type thingies...
Is it just me or have they done away with the triangles of death? I'm looking at the Catherine collection on the MAC website and doesn't seem to mention that everything is LE except for some items and in regular print so you can hardly see it!
As for VV saying the colours are too old for her - I wouldn't go that far, most of them seem pretty classic to me, I think it's just there may be too few stand-outs. But it did come after Chromeglass - a hard act to follow really!

Well Jude's swatches always make me change my mind anyway so....
(I wasn't buying any of the chromeglasses either til I saw her killer pics lol!) I think I'll reserve judgement til I see it in person. I def. need to check out the lipglasses & Strawberry Blonde is calling my name for B2M heh heh....

I got the 2 quads. Personally, I am thrilled - I got out of the collection with only $70.
Catherine is an icon - a classic beauty. Unlike Liza and Diana, she does not have a large following of people emulating her look (i.e. gorgeous drag queens or a younger fan base). I think the colors follow that, and are more subdued. No surprises.
I think if we're looking for brighter colors, we should hold out that maybe they'll choose an Icon like Bette Midler (now that would be fun! Think of the colors with the fabulous Miss M!)

Well, thank God I don't like anything from this collection. I will pick up the Lichen Liner but that is it. I have colors way to similar to the ones in this collection so I don't need them. Kinda glad cause I can save more money for Culturebloom

Sharp Beige & Strawberry Blonde have my names on them! In fact, I think that might be all I end up getting, thankfully for my bank account

Everything seems just ok to me, which is fine. After Christamas and Lingerie I don't have any extra $$. I would ultimatly like to try Strawberry Blonde, maybe a lipglass or 2, and the Thunder quad but I can't afford it right now. They need to give us a break!!
