MAC for Marilyn

[elegant-one]

... I could do this guy 100 times! DRAGON IS LOVEEEEE! I only have 2 left! I'm afraid to touch them! WHY did they dc this shade? Why!?
How many BU's do you have?

Just one

I know, how stupid to discontinue such a popular color. One lady bought the last 14...yes 14!!!!!!!! of them so there were none left. They probably ended up on ebay

I kinda like the BP packaging but idk about the others. I dislike how the image of her on the packaging with the window tops obscures the product. I mean, everyone loves a picture of Marilyn but I prefer the designs that aren't so solid--it's almost flat even. It just looks awkward to me.

 

[Mac-Guy]

it's not the images, they r nice...but...using them for packaging? that's so cheap. I've see better at the dollar stores.

Lol. We probably will see better at the dollar store. ROFL.

I like the packaging but I don't love it like I thought I would. I totally agree that it should be more glamorous.... I'm thinking Swarovski! Luckily we have a local artist up here (The Ice Diva) who will ice anything you want with Swarovski crystals... I'm definitely going to have her do the beauty powder compact for me!

This is a really neat idea, especially if it's done by a professional. I hope you will share pics!

Yeah! After I saw the post reminding me how much I LOVE my Dragon, I looked on ebay and some are being sold for up to $100! That is crazy! But if someone is going to actually PAY THAT... they must want it WAY more than me! I could NEVER justify $100 for ANY lip product/color/brand/etc! There are just too many GREAT reds to be that coo-coo!

Thanks for the recs on other great Chanel colors... I'll check some out! Dragon is my only Chanel lippie. But I have some beautiful Diors and YSL's too. From the Dior LE Holiday line, Dior Belle De Nuit is a huge fav of mine... and STILL available on the Nordies site!

I have bought some crazy priced LE blushes but wow. I agree, there are lots of lovely reds & Chanel will just launch a new lippie that may be the same or close to Dragon anyhow.

Ooh, thanks I will check those out.

totally agree... they need to get more creative
i honestly think its an insult to marilyn.... a signature would of been better.... couture packaging..... not the same as disney.........

AGREE COMPLETELY!

Sparkly scarlet red packaging would have been gorgeous! I'm not too keen on what MAC have decided on - seems a bit, dare I say it, "cheap"

Here's her Facebook page. The profile pic she has up right now is a design she made by hand on an iPhone case. http://m.facebook.com/pages/Ice-Diva-Designs/121351971212876?id=121351971212876&refsrc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fsearch&_rdr

I think the boxes will have special packaging too. I can't imagine a special packaging collection having regular black boxes.

 

[Miiszliz]

Thats not the real collection thats from a diffrent one. The lipsticks will each have a diffrent picture of her and her signiture.

Orlando Pro store is having the even September 21-23rd, I'll be there on the 22nd. The book the SA pulled out was PACKED with names lol. This collection is going to be hyped to death and it of course will sell out in 2 seconds flat.

I just found only one Chanel Excessive in the whole town! But no tester... Should I get it or not? Is it suitable for NC? T says it is slightly blue based. (I did like Ruffuan Red though.)

 

[Liz2012]

Lol, was just talking about me purchasing this l/s in another thread

I'm NC15, and i'm really in love with the color

I bought one of the last ones myself, and i'm happy i did
