25 year anniversary = trouble. It's going to another expensive year for MAC addicts. What I want the most is some gorgeous silver handled full sized brushes to mark the occasion. I would also like to see some gorgeous shiny, silver packaging on some items like Pressed Powder compacts or 15 pan palettes. And of course they should also re-release some of the best and most sought after products from the last 25 years. Finally a MAC makeup book

Amen.
Give me some of my DCd, old skool faves: Rizzo LS, #36 Crease Brush, Hot and Sour Paint and some of the older screw-top shadows. Oh, they should do all of the shadows in screw-top.

I think the silver packaging would be awesome! Like that pearlescent looking silver rather than chromey silver. I would go nuts! Kinda like the Moonebathe packaging... it was white with like gold pearlescent shimmer... but silver pearlescent.. I don't know.. something like that?

I thought it was going to be Hello Kitty? I thought I read that on here somewhere, a little while back.

I'm hoping 1984... because I'm just too excited for this collection already and it isn't even 2009. I wouldn't be too thrilled if I had to wait until 2010! But then again... time has been FLYING BY lately!

I know! Betsey Johnson teamed up with MAC would make such cute packaging!! I could only imagine! Well, I hope it happens!

How awesome would it be if they had an anniversary disco'd product collection, and then made that collection permanent? I know, the chances are pretty much zero, but we can dream

I definitely agree with the silver brushes. I could see them doing them as a "deluxe" set, like BB sometimes does.
Maybe also bring back some original, actually hard to find pigments like Brass, Auburn, Bronze, etc. Originals was such a cop-out in that respect. Also bring back old lipstick colors like Stiletto. It would be fun if they did them in the older style packaging, but with a twist, like a hint of silver on them somewhere.
Betsey Johnson would be adorable! I'd still go ga-ga over a Marc Jacobs color collection, I absolutely LOVE how his runway models look for his shows.
ETA: It also really makes a lot of fiscal sense to bring back things that people price gouge on eBay; the customers are appreciative and likely to buy more, and that money is going into their pockets, not someone's on eBay who hoarded a product from several years ago. The higher ups at MAC have to know that some items like Pleasureflush, Mothbrown (before Barbie), Judy Blue e/s, get into the three figure range on there.

Like many have said, i hope the anniversary will benefit the customers more than the company. That's 25 loyal years that MAC addicts have kept the company thriving after all. So maybe a worldwide family and friend sale?

Well, I could understand that for a set that looked like normal brushes, but we're all thinking long handled brushes of a different color, with a MAC25 on them... something that make them easily noticeable as part of the "set." But we're all dreaming here, anyway. I doubt MAC would do that too.

i honestly think that for a 25 yr anniversary collection it would make the most sense to bring back a lot of LE products from the span of the 25 yrs that were cult favorites or popular products in general.. with looks that could range from 80s to modern.. and some special packaging to commemorate.
