MAC Charlotte Olympia (March 17, 2016)

[Howards End]

Maybe a nail polish for me, just maybe. I'm still bummed there's no nude lipstick.

Haha me too

 

[Howards End]

It might just be the lighting, but these actually look a bit different to the same old reds MAC's been putting out the last couple of years. I may have to get over my hate of the packaging and get the one on the left and possibly the one on the right. Assuming they're at least satins.

ITA, the lipsticks look like new shades, and Charlotte looks like she's wearing a matte in the promo (or at the least a Satin)

For sure getting 2 of the 3 lippies. Possibly the pink too once we see swatches

I'm obsessed with this collection! I need everything! I haven't felt this way about a collection since Venemous Villians! This is the one collection that I don't mind everything being red.

 

[BuickMackane]

So this is the collection with the tacky packaging!

The mirror's nice, spiderwebs and all, but not nice enough the the obscene price MAC will probably charge for it

I wonder if it's a pigment? I have an old Benefit pigment in a jar like that but the lid is black.

Show-offs!

I had the blue one and I made an unholy mess with it. I'm so glad I have no pictures to document my misadventures. I wore it with the glitterbomb that was Kitten Lipshine.






I shall now sit in a corner and reflect on my misspent youth.

Haha, hardly a showoff Buick! I dug the little beast out of my train case when I saw the CO collection pic. I have kept it so long because I love the shape of the little pot and I will keep it because of that long after it is done. The pigment is still good but it's a sparkly baby pink which is really not my thing anymore. I should make an effort to use it up though--with the help of some judicious blending with a darker, more interesting shade.
Sometimes, I miss the BeneFit line of days past... remember She-laq? I kept that bottle after it was done too.

Oh no, I didn't mean you were a showoff!

The Benefit loose shadows were called Show-offs. These guys here: http://www.luuux.com/viz/benefit---show-offs-shimmer-powder. Is the one you have one of those? Or perhaps Benefit had other loose shadows?

I didn't know of primers or sticky bases back then so mine ended up on everywhere on my face, with the notable exception of my eyelids

I do remember She-laq although I never owned it. It came with a set of little brushes, no?

I do remember those. They were pretty.

LOL! I am laughing at myself. Yes, the Benefit pigments were called Show-Offs and they look like the ones in the link you posted. The one I have isn't there but it is called Powder Puff. The label on the bottom of the jar just describes it as "Shimmer Powder" and the box it came in is long since gone so I didn't remember the line name. I assume I didn't use it a lot because I wasn't skilled enough to know about primers and deal with fallout at the time I bought it.

Yes, She-laq came with little brushes and I still have the little baggy set but they've all been cleaned up now.

I do wonder what is in the CO jar here. I bet Marsha is right that it's Naked or Lithe. I lean more towards Lithe though.
I think so much more could have been made of the packaging for this collection given the spiderweb logo is pretty cool. A gold spiderweb spread over a glossy black tube could've been great.

 

[soonari]

So excited for this collection! For sure am getting all the lipsticks at the very least

 

[featherboa50]

I am so excited for this! I love every bit of it. The spiderwebs are so cute

Oh yes!

But they'd have to make the spiderweb a matte gold if the tube is glossy so that it would stand out more. Or have a matte black tube instead, kinda like the Pedro Lourenco ones.

Oops, wrong thread.

I'm skipping this collection, but still watching.

This is tough until I have swatches. It's not my favorite collection, but if those are lipmix I'm SO in. I'm so obsessed with lipmix I literally have every single color mac sells plus the mixing medium. My absolute favorite makeup product of all time. Mac can count on me buying every single lipmix they ever sell. Oh man, that just made me think I should add pure reflects glitter into one of my lipmixes and make crazy sparkly lips, why haven't I thought of this?! You can put any Mac pigment into them (or just any pigment, duh, which makes want to put in this bright orange one I have from Inglot) so why not glitter?! Okay, gna calm down now. Other than those, I think I might skip the rest, I'll consider one or two of the lipsticks though when swatches come out.

I miss having the photo gallery for the threads. This is the only upcoming collection I want stuff from so far. I need the mirror and the bag.

 

[ImACraftyNurse]

I cannot wait for this collection! Spiders or not I'm in! (Though I hate spiders) xoxo

 

[ImACraftyNurse]

Is this photo representative of the entire collection or is there more?

 

[soonari]

So excited for this collection (the Zac Posen one too but more excited for this!) All the lipsticks will be mine, at the very least

 

[Myth]

The brush looks like the 246 from Dark Desires, perfect for CCBs. Now that I know it's not fluffy at least I know what to expect lol

 

[laralara]

Another collection with reds! I don't feel this because when there are dupes, then there's nothing different.
