What was MAC's Best and Worst of 2007

[prinzessin784]

Now, I have to admit that I went off to grad school this fall and have missed a lot of this year's collections since then, but I try to stay afloat

This is my limited opinion:

Eye Shadow: Cosmic from Moon Bathe, Rubenesque Paint Pot
Eye Liner: the gold LLL from Moonbathe
Lipstick: Rubia!! Bare Slimshine and Poise mattene
Lipliner: Honey B. cremestick - so pretty with Rubia!
Lipglass: Malibu Barbie was pretty slammin'
Blush: I honestly didn't get any new blushes this year - I use Stereo Rose in the summer and Slave to Love in the fall and winter and I'm happy with those!
Multipurpose: Coco Motion pigment
Nail Lacquer: Firespot from Moonbathe
Skincare: the new Fix+
New Brushes: didn't get any
Other: n/a

What just didn't move you at all? What did MAC do that disappointed you in '07?

Eye Shadow: Metal X....wtf was this? sparkly eye cement?

Eye Liner: the light gold fluidline with the holiday collection - it was so sheer it was pointless.
Mascara: any and all MAC mascaras are gross haha
Lipstick: The ones from Hybrid Theory...so sparkly and ugly.
Lipliner: I agree with the New Money comment - it would probably make a pretty eyeliner though haha!
Lipglass: Nico Now is disgusting. Why they released that is beyond me. And the chromeglasses are hideous, they are clumpy and gross and the colors are so fake.
Foundation: I stick to my Moistureblend

Blush: I didn't try any new blushes

Multipurpose: All Over Gloss - please MAC, never bring this sticky goo back again!

And what are your picks for……

• Best Collection in ‘07: Barbie and Moon Bathe
• Worst Collection in ‘07: Balloonacy, McQueen, Metal X
• Favourite Promo Image in ‘07: Barbie, Moon Bathe, Hybrid Theory
• Worst Promo Image in ‘07: The Originals, Prep and Prime, Smoke Signals (gross!)
• Best New Product Introduced in ’07: Slimshines!
• Worst New Product Introduced in ’07: Metal-X Cream shadows
• What do you want to see MAC do in ’08: more celebrity collaborations!
• What was a new trick/skill that you added to your makeup application skills in '07 that you would love to share?: Moistureblend plus sponge plus Fix+ is amazing!!

What did MAC do that rocked your socks this year? What are your personal faves from ’07:

Eye Shadow: typographic - fabulously smutty matte dark grey, perfect. clarity is amazing too. i liked all the matte2's.
Eye Liner: feline khol power - best eyeliner ever.
Lipglass: soft note tendertone - smells lovely, leaves a gentle lilac sheen. the orange-copper plushglass was gorgeous too.
Multipurpose: reflects teal glitter - pretty on the lids, cheeks & hair.

What just didn't move you at all? What did MAC do that disappointed you in '07?

Eye Shadow: going bananas. frosted aneamic yellow...nice. the swirled me's were a mess.
Eye Liner: the cream lll...ick.
Lipglass: flashtronic - made my lips look strangely dirty. more baileys than caramel.

And what are your picks for……

Best Collection in ‘07: matte2, blue storm, tendertones, the new reflect glitters - all beautiful colletions.
Worst Collection in ‘07: flashtronic - dull & confused.
Favourite Promo Image in ‘07: smoke signals
Worst Promo Image in ‘07: baloonacy. reminiscent of a bad acid trip.
Best New Product Introduced in ’07: khol powers <3
Worst New Product Introduced in ’07: lipglass pencils. what's the point?
What do you want to see MAC do in ’08: quit with the gimmicky collections. it's cheapening them.

[darkwater_soul]

Eye Shadow: Bio Green
Eye Liner: Eh? Not really anything....
Mascara: NOTHING.

Nail Lacquer: Fireball
Skincare: Haven't tried the new stuff....
New Brushes:
Other: Basically loved the Moonbathe collection. That was about it. I was too busy loving NARS, Smashbox and Stila.

What just didn't move you at all? What did MAC do that disappointed you in '07?

Eye Shadow: Most of them, just sad repeats.
Eye Liner:
Mascara: Plush lash clumped.
Lipstick: One word...LUSTRES.
Lipliner: Sheer lipliners for the 3d...bleh.

• What do you want to see MAC do in ’08: Make a color correcting primer. Come out with a great eye base/ neutral colors for the paint pots. FIGURE OUT WHAT IS BEING DISCONTINUED AND SEND IT OUT TO ALL STORES>>>>
  
  Show more effort in making store policies all the same...

What did MAC do that rocked your socks this year? What are your personal faves from ’07:

Eye Shadow: Family Silver, Silversmith and Ether mineralized eyeshadows, Bottle Green e/s, Going Banana's e/s(I thought it was totally useless, but I realized it wasn't just last night!) Parrot, Moth Brown
Eye Liner: Orpheus Kohl Power *kohl powers in general*, Upitty Fluidline, Boot Black liquid liner (perm but I just tried it recently and love it)
Mascara: PLUSH LASH!
Lipstick: meh..Slimshines were ok Lovey Dove or whatever is a nice color
Lipliner: I really like Rosebound lipglass pencil, and Dervish liner (perm)
Lipglass: IN 3D is SO pretty, almost clear but has a really nice hint to it that goes well w/ any look. Instant Gold which is perm but I think it's SO pretty.
Foundation: Studio Mist is a nice sheer foundation, I feel bad for not keeping it
Face Powder: I discovered the hyperreal pressed powders and they are amazing!
Blush: Cantaloupe pro blush and Other Worldly which I hardly use as a blush, more as an eyeshadow.
Multipurpose (i.e. Glimmer Shimmer, Sheerspark Powder, etc.): Sweet Sienna pigment is love, a good wash color IMO. Northern Light MSF, New Vegas MSF
Nail Lacquer: the blue one that came out w/ blue storm, I used most of it up and then dropped it! so sad.
Skincare: ...
New Brushes: not new but I bought the 109, 129 and 150 brushes and they are so good! also the 227 is a great brush for highlighting.
Other: Metal x creme shadows are gorgeous, Rubenesque and Fresco Rose paint pots are so pretty and the new sculpt and shape powders are pretty cool as well.

What just didn't move you at all? What did MAC do that disappointed you in '07?

Eye Shadow: Bright Sunshine e/s is a wonderful color in the pot but too grainy when put on the skin, Wondergrass! Bio-Green is a much better version of it, Romping is a nice color but I hardly ever use it, Fab and Flashy isn't a great color either..of course I bought all of them lol.
Eye Liner: ...i liked all of the liners I bought this year
Mascara: I used to love Splashproof lash...like two years ago, but I just tried it again recently and it SUCKED.
Lipstick: Vivacious..I look like a drag queen when wearing it and the blue one released with c-shock...seriously...I have no words for how ugly that is...
Lipliner:
Lipglass:
Foundation: Mineralized satinfinish SUCKS I HATE IT SO MUCH. haha it's basically the worst foundation I've ever used, but I feel bad because I still have half a bottle left so I sometimes feel obligated to wear it lol.
Face Powder:
Blush: Cubic, I mean..it's OK but it doesn't apply as evenly as I'd like...it wasn't released this year tho...
Multipurpose (i.e. Glimmer Shimmer, Sheerspark Powder, etc.): Gold Spill MSF wasn't so nice looking...at least on me...but of course I bought it cuz I'm stupid like that...
Nail Lacquer:
Skincare:
New Brushes: I love my brushes <3
Other: I bought the brush roll and it seriously fell apart within two weeks, it started fraying everywhere! It's so much nicer looking than the sephora one, but it just wasn't worth keeping.

And what are your picks for……
Best Collection in ‘07: I liked a little bit of everything from a lot of collections.
Worst Collection in ‘07: C-shock I guess...even though I bought 5 out of 7 of the shadows released *I already had passionate* the only one I ever use is Going Banana's and I hardly even use that!
Favourite Promo Image in ‘07: I liked Baloonacy, the girl was cute haha..
Worst Promo Image in ‘07: oh god..the Of Beauty one just scares me a lot, it's cool but freaky as hell.
Best New Product Introduced in ’07: Kohl Powers are nice, Plush Lash, 3d glass, slimshines, metal x creme shadows..I use them pretty much everyday as my base for eyeshadows.
Worst New Product Introduced in ’07: those powders released w/ Baloonacy...that stupid glittery overlay was gone by the time I got to try them out. what a joke. plus those charged waters things...what the hell were those? fix plus that smelled weird and was more expensive? no thanks.
What do you want to see MAC do in ’08: more liquid liners that aren't liquidlasts, something in the same formula as boot black but maybe a nice navy color, an eggplant too. foundations that don't make your skin go crazy would be nice too.
What was a new trick/skill that you added to your makeup application skills in '07 that you would love to share?: contouring using the 109 brush..I've been using the 168 and it was too..fluffy I guess. I went to the pro store and my favorite MA there showed me how to contour using the 109 and it's seriously amazing. I get better at blending everyday of course and that's a good thing. I've done this for a while now, but using the 187 brush to put on foundation.

[gigglegirl]

I'm definitely a newbie this year to all things makeup and MAC....as years before I tried to get into makeup (specifically tried Covergirl but the e/s were alright but the liners sucked so I was def. turned off...til this year HEAVEN SENT MAC). *ahem* too my favs and not so favs...


What did MAC do that rocked your socks this year? What are your personal faves from ’07:

Eye Shadow: : Engaging duo--my great eye combo if I don't have any other inspiration to try a brown/grey neutral or bright colour combo. 2nd fav would have to be Copperplate (Matte2) which I was inspired after seeing one of Fee's AWESOME FOTDs with Blanc Type and Courtly Grey.... (Jeez I'm writing a fricking essay)...
Eye Liner: KOHL POWERS!--renewed my faith in pencil liners. Fluidlines also took over for the crappy felt tipped CG liner. Bleck.
Mascara: Plushlash for now....
Lipstick: *none* I don't do lipsticks...yet
Lipliner: *none*
Lipglass: Fulfilled plushglass
Foundation: I've only tried one, ever, Hyperreal, hoping to try others in the new year.
Face Powder: -------
Blush: love my blushbaby!
Multipurpose (i.e. Glimmer Shimmer, Sheerspark Powder, etc.): I assume we could list pigments as well? Well I love Sunpepper's reappearance in the holiday warm pigment set.
Nail Lacquer: Fluid
Skincare: Fix+
New Brushes: looking to get 223 and I believe that'll rock
Other: Metal X--do my eye with pigment and e/s first, then apply some metal x (is kinda hard to work with for me) heat it a bit and apply over...AWESOME! (I suggest if you have a silver metal x like cyber, try a silver and dark blue eye--this is a killer accent!)

What just didn't move you at all? What did MAC do that disappointed you in '07?

Eye Shadow: Alum--similar on me to Cumulus
Multipurpose (i.e. Glimmer Shimmer, Sheerspark Powder, etc.): Smoke signal pigment--so dark and matte, I get too much on the brush and look...well... I can't work this one out well ><

And what are your picks for……

• Best Collection in ‘07: Curiositease pigment sets! Antiquitease colour, BLM (for the few e/s I've picked up)
• Worst Collection in ‘07: C-Shock, McQueen (except for the Kohl Powers)
• Favourite Promo Image in ‘07: Metal X, Originals, Matte 2
• Worst Promo Image in ‘07: Of Beauty---hands freaking down!
• Best New Product Introduced in ’07: Paintpots! Followed closely by Kohl Powers
• Worst New Product Introduced in ’07: hmmm products so far no big problems, but dislike the holiday bags--reminds me of dressup accessories...
• What do you want to see MAC do in ’08: could we slow down all the collections in '08? I'd like to have more of a chance to hear/learn about collections rather than getting all hyped and buying stuff that I already have a similar dupable product
• What was a new trick/skill that you added to your makeup application skills in '07 that you would love to share?: None, I'm learning from all of you!!

More fluidlines and paint pots with crazy colors as well. And more wearable neutrals and nudes. And more collections where they promote Pro items. One for the glitters would be crazy fantastic!

[MAChostage]

Honestly, not a whole lot.

But here is what I did like:

Eye Shadow: I loved several of the new piggies this year
Eye Liner: The Kohl Powers!
Lipstick: Queen's Sin
Lipglass: Red Romp

What just didn't move you at all? What did MAC do that disappointed you in '07?

Most of the collections. Other than that:

Lipglass: Those In 3D glasses, period
(Both of these just sucked so badly, IMO)

And what are your picks for……

• Best Collection in ‘07: I honestly can't name a "best" collection for '07. For me, a few of the various products in different collections were good, but that was about it.

• Worst Collection in ‘07: McQueen, although there was not a single collection that I was ga-ga over.
  

• Favourite Promo Image in ‘07: The Originals

• Worst Promo Image in ‘07: Tie between Balloonacy and McQueen
