By lack of resources, I mean that it can be difficult for them to find/produce the pigments necessary for that specific color. :-/

I have to second this, as well

With the skinfinishes being produced in Italy and the way that they are actually made (molded wet and then baked for 24 hours until they are dry, hence the reason they can be used wet) and how much each batch costs to make, it is quite understandable why they are limited. If MAC had them all the time, they would cost more...and most of the other items would cost more as well.
Same reason MAC does not do a lot of promotional-sized items or GWP's PWP's. They cost A LOT to produce, and the prices of everything would go up to offset those costs.
There have been plenty of limited/discontnued things come and go for the very reasons you mentioned...it certainly isn't done just to piss off customers!!

Love that lips of the south comment by banana...sounds like something gross I'd say!

Is it just me or does <b>Pink Maribu</b> sound like the cute mispronunciation of 'Pink Ma-li-bu'???

Your post made me laugh! I'm lemming some of the lipsticks, the pigments and the skinfinishes. Maybe pictures will change my thoughts.

I think it's just a typo, it must be pink marabou, because of the whole theme of the collection, marabou makes sense

oh my gosh... lingerie is so BEAUTIFUL!! the whole line is very soft and gorgeous! I want almost every single thing! Here are *some* swatches but they are so much more shimmery/sparkly in person than on the paper and the lighting was really crappy. I hope this is ok to post the swatches..

The colours *do* look beautiful, yet for some reason I don't want any of them! LOL. It's like I can appreciate the collection on an objective level but as far as actually buying any of them goes, I think I'll pass.

Eyeshadow:
Sunday Best - ivory with frost (Frost, LE) …. Hmmm. We will see, may be too frosty
Flirty Number - dusty pink with pearl (Veluxe, LE) ….. Dusty Pink on my yellow skin? Nuh uh!
Taupless - light lilac (Lustre, LE)…. Lustres are my nemesis.
Black Tied - (Repromote)… What is the point of repromoting something that is a staple in so many girls’ collections? I think the repromotes should be for colors like… Parrot maybe?
Idol Eyes - (Repromote)…. Come on… why?
Slip pink - dusty pink with pearl (Veluxe, LE)… Dusty Pink again!?!?!? This must be a typo, I hope.

Lipglass:
Negligee - bright mauve with pearl (LE)…. Hmmm.. perhaps, perhaps.
Of Corset - light coral with pearl (LE)…. Does anyone have a problem with these light coral colors that just kinda sit on your lips?
Brown Sugar - medium beige with pearl (LE)…. Ooooh yeah, this has my name written all over it. Gimme some of that sugar….

Lipstick:
Lingerie - light lilac/pink (LE)…. nahhhhhh
Pink Maribu - rich pinked mauve (LE)….I would get this just for the name, that is how deep my sickness goes.
Body Suit - neutral pink/beige with low level pearl (LE) Yes Please!
Push - Plum - deep plum brown (LE)….Thank you Sir! May I have another?
La Bi Bra! - warm coral beige (LE) … as someone pointed out on LJ. Um… La-bi-a?

Pigment:
Goldenaire - Pink with gold pearl (LE) … I never pass on Pigments.
Lovely Lily - Liliac with red pearl (LE) …. Please see above.
Pink Opal - (Repromote) ...Got it.

Mineralize Skinfinish:
Naked You - Pale beige with grey and brown veining (LE) …. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!
Petticoat - Pale rose with gold and amber veining (LE) … Depends on how close it is to Stereo Rose but probably yeah.

So, I am probably in for $137.00 with Lingerie. I don’t count the lipsticks in the tally because I still have like 60 empties from my big de-potting project way back when.

Considering the money that I am going to be spending on the October goods, this is a huge, Huge difference for my finances. I thank you MAC for releasing a collection that does not work with my skin tone. Thank you for saving me from myself!

Wel.... as the author of the original post, I will admit to eating a huge helping of crow because this collection is gorgeous and I love everything that I purchased. Just goes to show that you can't judge a collection by the written description alone!

Haha! So true though, i usually don't like the collections in person, that i initially love from pictures and swatches, and love the ones i'm not keen very keen on from pictures/swatches.
Right now i'm not very keen on Culturebloom on myself but we shall see...!
