MAC - Holiday 2010 A Tartan Tale Discussion

[Flaminbird]

wow lots of info/pages since I looked last night! I'm excited about this collection and so glad to see Undercurrent and Black Line back! I got Undercurrent, Industrial, Petrol Blue and Designer Purple for my birthday but missed out on Black Line.

All the items sound so pretty....the e/s especially. I hope I'll have either extra hours at work or a new job so I can buy a lot of stuff. Then of course I guess there's always the CCO because all of the Mischief stuff there now.

Thanks for all the info Corrine and Erin

i'm excited! blue lips.... coloured mascara and potentially new flase lashes! awesome stuff!

In this video you can see a new green mascara (at 1:32),I think that's probably also from that collection.I can't imagine coloured mascara in any other of the upcoming collections. YouTube - M·A·C Video Journal: Straight from NEW YORK Fashion Week

OMG I want that mascara! I don't know if i'll be brave enough to wear it but I don't care...

Wow thanks for all the info! Did i read somewhere there are nail polish sets?? As in mini ones or just the regular bottles? Sold as set or individually?

Ohhh yes i remember MAC's coloured mascara......i just B2M an old electric blue one that my mom bought. She'll be so excited to hear they are coming out with new ones!

I am thrilled to hear we may get colored mascaras! This is one department I have been really wanting! And I just don't like paying YSL prices. They are the only good mascaras out right now in purples and greens that I like the quality of.

A collection with hot pinks, oranges and PURPLES! sounds de-lish

 

[elegant-one]

hahaha

I just loved reading the "let's get as much information out of Erine without getting her fired" game!

Priceless

Thanks for all you did in the past!

early info is what gets people excited to buy, imo. the hype, the planning out, the thrill of the chase, even the criticism. some of that is going to be gone now. i guess other companies have the same ruling, cause i never see advanced info for them. MAC is right in line with that.

OH well, i guess that's on them in some aspects.

 

[tamarindi]

Ok after reading again the color story I decided not to skip this collection and to haul the Hark the Heraldry Face Kit and the Vain & Glorious Lip Bag, from part 2 I want the purple pigment set (the other one is a maybe), the pink lipglass set and the mini nail polishes.

Thank you so much for you help over the years Erine and it is certainly not worth it to lose the job you obviously love. Playing in makeup all day-wonderful.

I wonder if they are just tired of us finding dupes, talking (good and bad) and generally like I do narrow my list down after seeing all of this and usually buy less. But all these makes me not return more stuff so I guess it's a catch-22.

I Agree completely the hype is what makes Mac the best for that, so decreasing the info out is going to hurt them I think

Of course! You're right! These must be the paint pots she was referring to.
I guess that since these are already confirmed and I didn't give them much thought (I kinda expect them to be a bit boring), I got my hopes up thinking that there may be some other, more exciting ones coming along. But I don't think it's meant to be

 

[silentstorm143]

I know personally I am a big planner and if I dont know what I am planning on getting or know what to save my money for I am more appt to spen it on the perm line or on something else so for me not having the info early MAC might not get my money for it went somewhere else.
