Well I was going to get the Thunder quad but since I cant get my discount nope, not a thing.

I will wait for Culture Bloom unless they let me have my discount at the store, if not I bet these show up at the CCO's later.

Well there has been no info on Bourbon l/s and that's the only thing besides the Thunder eyes quad I'm interested in.

Overall I think it's a nice collection with something for everyone--I actually hate the ones where you feel the need to buy everything that's just financially exhausting.

I'm going to buy only the Elegant Peach lipglass since it's a true peach and Mac doesn't have a true peach lipglass in the original lipglasses!

I picked up Dusk lipglass and the 109SE brush, which I had been meaning to get from the PRO store for a while. But I might return it and get the regular PRO brush since the regular ones seem to have a fuller, rounder head.

I've been waiting forever for this collection, and after seeing the swatches and the looks on the website I'm even more excited! Greens and purples are just so me! I'll definitly get the thunder quad, sharp beige, mauro and maybe lichen. I'm not a fan of mac kohls but I'm a sucker for greens!

This is the collection I'm happy I don't have a MAC store nearby, otherwise I would probably go crazy and buy everything

I really do love the colors in this collection after seeing them today, expecially the Thunder quad. BUT. Some of my NARS colors are pretty similar (like in my Earth Angel duo). Otherwise I would have deffinitelly bought it!
I did buy Strawberry Blonde and Vesuvian nail Lacquer though

I'm really excited to see the Thunder Eyes quad - I also want to pick up the blot powder, if I like the packaging... it's something I've been wanting for a while anyway. I want to have a peek at Strawberry Blonde and Sharp Beige, and that's about it! I think everything else looks gorgeous, but nothing I really need.

Pictures of Rye and Scarab look very similar to Retrospeck and Greensmoke. Does anyone have a good comparison between Rye and Retrospeck, and Scarab to Greensmoke ?

At first I had a whole list of stuff to get from this collection but instead I ended up walking away from the counter with 4 items!!! I can't believe it, this is the first time that's happened. This is the first collection that didn't appeal to me at all. When I told my mom this, she thought something was wrong with me. Anyhow, that's more money towards Culturebloom, Ultra cheeks, and Sweetie Cake! YAY!

this is only my opinion, don't hate me!!

what is everyone else's opinion of this collection?


Yes, i agree with you...Mac created a bunch of colors that they thought shed like and she got to pick em all....she gets a big N!The only thing I want from this whole collection is the studio lights the end....i think the quad looks similar to lingerie AND naturally eccentric.

IMO this was one of the worst collections. i ended up getting two of the four new brushes but the rest just looked so blah and sorry if this sounds rude but old. from what i see on here and at mac alot of younger people are getting into mac and this collection doesnt appeal to most of them.

Every line has to eventually have a neutral collection.
I think this would look very elegant for people who are into neutrals and would bring them to MAC.
I can't wear a lot of it, but I know some of my friends who were scared of MAC before are interested.

I am REALLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYY tired about hearing about the age thing.
MAC is for everyone.
Thanks

Tired of the age thing too. MAC is not just about bright garish colours, some of their best colours & products are meant to be more natural, subtle or classy. Being a pale redhead, a lot of colours are tricky for me and I've always liked their neutral stuff, even when I first got into MAC when I was 15. I think its BS to try and say what "young people" like as they vary just as much as older people, not only that but to think that MAC is made for younger people exclusively is ignorant to the reality of their customer base.

Rye & Retrospeck have nothing in common imo. Retrospeck is much paler, more glittery texture & is a cooler, almost platinum gold. Rye is deeper, more golden with hints of orange and has that oh so smooth veluxe pearl feel and finish.

Greensmoke is darker, less vibrant. more sheer, more olive & more sparkly than Scarab. Other than being greens on the warm side I don't think they have much in common either. Scarab is like a grass green.

Other than inventive which is pretty similar to Sketch, this quad doesn't look the Inventive quad at all either. No other colour is similar. Velour & Thunder are not alike, I can't even think of what could be compared to White Wheat, and there is no light shimmery taupe like Twillery. Rye is not similar.

I totaly agree with everything, even with being a pale redhead.
