MAC - Wonder Woman Discussion

[Susanne]

Nope - but I have hoped it to be a bit more elegant, lady-like to be honest.

And I wanted some brighter eyeshadows.

I don't mind the packaging but I did expect the eyeshadows to be brighter, with it being a spring collection and all.

Well now that we know the prices, I'm officially scratching any lipglasses off my list. Seriously, I was annoyed enough when they sold the MegaMetal shadows at that price and at least those don't go off over time. I already struggle to use up my glosses before they go off, so making them larger doesn't actually add to their appeal. Larger AND more expensive just kills my interest entirely. I'm really disappointed at the $48 quads as well. Guess I'll limit myself to just one, plus a mascara, maybe the dark lipstick.

 

[LMD84]

Yup, the prices are definitely making me rethink everything. Seems WW isn't going to be expensive haul for me - I can't afford anything

$35 for the MSF and $19.50 for the lipglass, I don't even wanna guess the prices in euros

Blush duos seem to be normal sized with the $24 price tag though it'll probably be around 28-30€ here. If I remember correctly, SCFC blush ombres were $25 / 29€. I can live with the price if the pink blush is what I want it to be.

So, I'm thinking Spitfire l/s, Victorious mascara & Amazon Princess blush.

I'm dying to see swatches, come on Mac, just send the PR boxes already!

and uk pounds is going to be pricey too! such a pain! i never had a gloss on my list because i knew that it was gong to be pricey - and i dont like the big applicator!

 

[Camnagem]

Eh...I'm very uninspired. Nothing is calling me, and the colors are kinda "been there done that" for my collection.

I don't like the packaging, but I think it's perfect for the collection. The artwork on the boxes is fantastic...I wish there were more touches like that included elsewhere in the collection. I think the XL size of the products is a cute nod to the theme, but annoying from the practical side.

The 2 blush duos are on my list, but I may not get either of those if they're nothing special when swatched. I love MSF's so I'll check these out for sure, but I don't expect to get either.

I do want to say that I'm really happy for those of you who are so excited for this collection! Not every release is for everyone, and I'm ok with the fact that I'll be sitting this one out. I'll live through your excitement and I look forward to hearing what all of you pick up and love!

Did I see that the l/g are going for $19.50? Maybe they are bigger than they appear in the picture. I'm glad I don't want any of those.

I have edited my list to look like this...

l/s Russian Red (cuz I don't have this l/s and I always wanted it + I get the tacky packaging that I love so much
bp/b Mighty Aphrodite - cuz I like collecting these compacts to swap out my blot powders
msf Pink Power - cuz I love MSF, but only getting one because I have so many I don't use already
red bag - cuz red is my favorite color and it has that logo charm on it
n/l - cuz I love nail polishes and getting these because of packaging - I have a few navies and reds already, but whatever
mirror - cuz it makes for a nice collectible as well

I'm thinking about the Defiance quad and Marquise'd l/s, but I'll pass on these if I have to.

If liners and mascaras never dry out I'd get a few of those, but I don't want to pay extra for these just for packaging.

I agree with you on the brighter eyeshadows..I also think that the packaging was perfect in the theme of DC comics WW.
My very short list
MSF Golden Lariat
Marquise d lipstick
maybe
Valiant quad..need to see swatches first.

 

[shontay07108]

I said Ouch! at the price of the quad. It's only a few more bucks than the normal quad and of course, that's due to the packaging. I'm still getting Lady Justice. I haven't seen the T-shirt, I but I am DEFINITELY getting that even though I just remembered I already have a kick ass wonder woman tee. I hope it comes in xlarge because I want a really lose, casual fit. Too bad it's only online. I don't really want anything else anymore. Swatches may persuade me to buy a lipstick like Heroine and I may be coaxed into a mascara if all else fails. Lipglass is out though. I am not paying 20 bucks for that. ETA : I DEFINITELY want the pink blush duo! Can't forget that!

 

[banana1234]

the coloured mascara's interest me, what colour do u think is more wearable?

 

[MsChained]

With the incredibly pumped up price tag I definitely see myself skipping Opulash and possibly the eye liner. So, sticking with a MSF, two lipsticks, and possibly a blush. Now I'm kind of sad.

 

[mtrimier]

i dunno about this collection. i might get something just to have in my collection, but nothing is really grabbing me right now. besides, i don't know if I'll even be able to order anything online since i'll be traveling on the release date. i must ponder.

 

[martiangurll]

I think I am back in the game with this collection--sign me up for Team Tacky Packaging!

I think I will "need"

Heroine lippy
Spirit of Truth NP
Army of Amazons mascara
Defiance or Valiant quad--I can't decide but probably Valiant, because I am really chock-ful of pink and purple quads
Pink Power powder if it isn't too sparkly

Maybe
Might Aphrodite (but I can't decide if I just like the name)
Athena's kiss (same issue!)

Now we need swatches! My excitement is rising.

 

[yasmin1983]

I wonder how big the lipglass actually is and if its going to wash me out

Ok now that we have prices we need swatches, then and only then can I make my final list

 

[TeresitaMC]

Let's try this post again.....


It's not because of the packaging (I think the packaging is very fitting for WW) and it's not the pricing, though that sure is helping now, but I don't think I want anything from this collection.

I thought maybe Emancipation lipglass but it seems sheer and the price tag? Forget that idea now

Also the 'green' quad, I am really liking the look of it in the "real life" photo, but it reminds me of the Photo Realism quad, which I loved so much I thought about backing up. I'll need swatches for this one.

The only other thing is the MSF's....they look pretty just have to know if I'll get much use out of it.

But in the end, I don't think I'd mind not having any of these items (unless swatches prove me wrong).

 

[ktbeta]

Does anyone know if the MAC event for this collection is Pro-members only? I've been invited to past events but when I was in store earlier I asked and the (rather snooty) SA said it was a Pro only event and people had to pay to attend... my understanding is that it was a launch event and not a Pro class so I was really confused. I honestly got the feeling he just didn't think I was worthy of attending, which kind of ticked me off

 

[Babylard]

the coloured mascara's interest me, what colour do u think is more wearable?

I think it depends on your eye color. Blue mascara makes my dark brown almost black, eyes look so weak =(

 

[hoshiakari_]

I agree with everyone who's said that $19.50 is too much for a possibly sheer lipgloss that I might never finish, so I'm crossing that off my list.
So now I'm hoping to buy two items: Spitfire l/s and Victorious mascara.
I'm so tempted to get the blue one as well, but this past summer I tried on Benefit's BadGal mascara in blue (on my bottom lashes) and I LOVED how it looked.
To buy or not to buy Themyscira...
I can't wait for swatches!

 

[Le-Saboteur]

I can't lie, I'm a big freakin' nerd and this looks AWESOME. One day I will cosplay as WW and pull out one of these lippies. ONE DAY.

Love the sound of the Valiant quad and Mighty Aphrodite blush. Probably pick up Russian Red in this collection since I don't already have it, and the blue nail varnish. Damn, that's going to come to a lot in NZ$.

 

[shadowaddict]

This is why the green quad is calling out to me. I LOVE the Photo Realism quad. It is about all gone.

I'm thinking the pink MSF if it swatches well.

I'll get a l/s and I know I'll get the mirror.

 

[QueenOfSnark]

Hrm, seeing the prices (and the better pics), I think I can comfortably skip the eyeshadow quads, nice as they look. I have colors extremely similar to those in the Defiance quad, and the other two quads I have two out of the four colors so...I can't afford to just go off and buy similar colors.

My list has been severely cut at this point:
Marquise'd lippy
Amazonian Princess blush duo
Invincible mirror

Maaybe I'll spring for the eye brush set if the quality isn't poo. <_<
