I think MAC gets it right when they don’t try to imitate the more expensive lines out there, but do their own riff on trendy and fun packaging.

Ditto for me. Ladybugs and Fahrenheit aren't my thing. I know, it's what's inside that counts but I'm just not fond of this.

I am interested in the Mystery powder but that is about it. The other items look too mature for me. I'm 23, I want youthful cosmetics!

I always get so excited about these collections but usually buy very few items. I'll probably get a brush or two. Maaaaybe a powder. Big maybe.

I was hoping for better packaging, but I guess I will have to see what I think about it in person.

I kinda want a mystery powder.

PS- my friend also mentioned that this was coming out in stores on Tuesday Nov 25 (at least the select Nordstrom stores for sure), which makes sense since Thanksgiving is on Thursday...

I've bought from the last two Couture Collections, but I don't like this packaging at all. I think it looks really cheap. It reminds me of drugstore.

I saw a better pic of the mystery powder in a German magazine yesterday. It didn't look cheap at all. I will get one Sheerspark Pressed Powder and one lipglass

Here is the direct link:
M.A.C Monogram Compact


That is certainly looking better than the smaller version, though that's really no surprise to me. Still, though, I'm not particularly excited about it.

I like it. I don't know that I will buy it, but I think it's very chic.

I went to my MAC store yesterday and my MA showed me all 4 lipglosses. They are WAY prettier in person-to my untrained eye, the casing is very similar to dazzleglass (tubular, glass, lots of sparkle). To me, "Posh Life" looked reallllllly similar to "Love Alert" from Red She Said and "Identity" (I think) looked really similar to "Sugar Rimmed" from RSS.
