Early Buzz Regarding MAC Collections/Products Coming in 2011 - Discussion

[katred]

All this is definitely pending swatches, but so far I want both quads from Mac Me Over (despite the fact that I already have one colour from each) as well as Carbonized e/s, Prince Noir and possibly Runway Red (damn, I have so many red and/ or vampy colours, but they're like crack for me). And purple paint pots... come to Mama...

The real killer for me is the mattenes. There are a lot that I want...

• Unknown Pleasures Deep red blue (There is no way I'm not getting a lipstick named after one of my all-time favourite albums)
• Seeds of Desire Deep brown plum
• Eden Rouge Bright blue-red
• Potent Fig Deep blue grape
• Deliciously Foribbden Mid-tone berry
• Fresh Amour Light lavender (Not sure how lavender will look as a matte, but I'm curious)

So I just realized--If MAC Me Over is going to be the huge fall collection, that means normal, Back 2 Mac-able packaging right?

*holds onto her bags of B2M stuff she's been sitting on* >_> The only thing better than new fun LE items is new LE items that are free.

What makes the brush 226 so special? Is there any difference between 226 and 217? Please, please anyone let me know!

I am so happy that MAC is bringing back the 226 brush!! I will need to get another one! MAC Make Me Over collection sounds so awesome!! Even the new paint pots are so going to come home with me lol

From what I've seen (I don't have one--yet!) it's the perfect blending brush for those (like me) who have small/asian eyes, the 222 and 224 are too big, and the 217 isn't fluffy enough/too precise. Anyone who has the 226, please correct me if wrong and do elaborate.

The 226 is perfect for getting right into the crease. I have only a tiny bit of lid space and a lot of space between the crease and the brow. If I am doing a simple look, the 224 is great to get a crease color and blend it up easily without it being so tedious. However, sometimes I put two colors in the crease or I put a dark color in the outer v and drag it into the crease. This is where the 226 does it's magic. I think everyone should have at least one no matter their eye shape. It's so precise.

Argh, we need individual collection threads to go geek out in!

2 fluidlines, 1 es, a couple prolongwear cream glosses and like 7-8 prolongwear es, yeay for being permanent the last ones cause @20$ piece need a few month to buy them all. So excited for the news!
And by the way if they intend to make so many products in this larger size they need to realease some palettes for them too

Blackened Blue Fluidline? Blackened Green Fluidline? I have died and gone to heaven! I can not wait!

What a wonderful fall....I can not wait for more details and information about all the other upcoming collections!

Thank you, QueenOfSnark! Thank you, shontay!
The 226 brush seems really good! Sounds like a must-have for me!
I didn't know MAC has so many blending brushes.

i'm really looking forward to the new paintpots. i hope they are better than the champale ones...

I'm hoping they'll be similar to the Big Bounce Shadows, but less sheer, or even better - able to be that sheer or denser at will.

Now I understand why MAC usually waits a lot before releasing informations..... Now we have a lot of informations on fall collections and everyone seems to loose interest on Semi Precious XD This is not good for MAC

It's just a bit smaller and allows more precision.

Exactly. I was actually hoping that we receive some info for the Fall collection before SP comes out.

Good point. Although you could argue that, by giving us a whole lot of information at once, Mac has set themselves up for the same kind of problem in the Fall. We'll be bored of hearing about it by then. You could argue that they'd be better off "drip feeding" us information on a more regular basis...

guys i have made discussion threads and such for the new collection info so you can all chat in those

Keep it clean kids - do check out the latest specktra blog post!

There aren't many blushes or cheek products being released with these Fall collections, other than the two from MAC Me Over. I hope this means there will be some really awesome ones in Glitter and Ice and the other later collections.

There is supposed to be a Cheek Sculpture collection coming out soon. I'm more excited about this one, even if I don't know much about the color story yet.

There is also a collection of pro products coming out,which will be available at all locations in September!
