Mmm, so looking forward to this, but I gotta get picky, I'm gonna go broke for the MSFs and MB that come in the mineralize release in July

I feel the same way about being happy about not getting anything from hello kitty. This collection is it!! I want almost EVERYTHING. I am going to be avoiding MAC (damn it.. even after the last no buy) just to save up a bit for this collection. woohoo.. can't wait.

I LOVE all the eye shadows from this collection which is rare for me because the last eye shadows I picked up from a collection was HK.

I like and am interested in buying a couple of items from this collection but I want to know and ask WHY this collection that happens to be aimed at WOC is designed with African zebra/cheetah prints?? Is that the only way to target WOC these days?? I don't want to offend anyone, I'm just merely asking a question so please don't slaughter the newbie!!! I was just wondering if the subconscious (IMO) advertising raised any eyebrows to anyone else besides me.

I would have to disagree with you because prints are in this season and this is a 2 part collection, the first part is WOC friendly but none WOC are loving it as well and the second part is more non WOC friendly but WOC are loving it too and i dont think it has anything to do with the packaging because if the product was crap WOC wont buy it anyway

I don't necessarily think this collection is aimed mostly to WOC. The animal print is what is en vogue for this season.. I am seeing it in all the clothing stores.
The collection is named style warrior.. so i think they are just connecting the themes.. warriors, animal prints, african influences, and vibrant colours. The promo pics are of a darker skinned woman who has black, asian, latin features and the other is of a white woman..also one of the promo pictures states 'emerging from every corner of the glamorous globe.. a cross cultural sophistication'. Though it is an amazing collection for WOC.. it is a collection for everyone.

I don't think any collection they release is ever aimed at any specific "racial/cultural" demographic.
I could be wrong I suppose

I agree with iadoremac, but I have to ask -- what is the issue with targeting WOC by using African/South American/Asian motifs???
I mean, as much as some Black folks love to cling to the idea of their imaginary Cherokee great-grandmother, you actually are a descendent of Africans...and there are zebras there.
It's not like they offered a Fried Chicken MSF and a Watermelon Lipglass.

With the newer swatches, I figured out that the Asian model is wearing Brave New Bronze l/s. Temptalia describes it as a "creamy mid-tone pink nude", but it is DEFINITELY burnt sienna-ish in the swatch. Nothing nude about it.
My list now:
Brave New Bronze l/s
Purple Rite l/s
Gold Rebel l/g
Style Warrior l/g
Fierce & Fabulous l/g

LOL @ the fried chicken MSF and watermelon lipglass...although...flavored lipglasses might be the next thing MAC comes out with!!
shoot, i'd buy it!
i was wondering about the design/ad only because it seemed that some of the more recent collections seemed to be aimed at certain demographics and the designs of those collections weren't as colorful or patterned like the style warriors collection is. i know that animal prints are trendy this season but i dont buy animal prints and think about it as representing the Motherland or being a warrior or wild woman. i just like it for the pattern.

I dont think African prints represent the motherland bc I am african and i have not seen a zebra or tiger before so it might take a minute for me to connect those two but on the flip side someone from sasy australia can argue that the collection is aimed at them bc of the animal prints
