With the MAC Venomous Villains Collection just on the horizon, I got to thinking about the special packaging some collections come with. The Venomous Villains Collection has been slammed by some for it's sticker-like packaging while others rave about the Disney Villains on their makeup. Also to be noted is the slight increase in price for the Disney collection- the lipglasses, lipsticks and eyeshadows are bumped up to $15.50 USD from the regular $14 while the powder blushes are now $19.50 from $18. The MAC collection special packaging is either hit (Hello Kitty was SO cute) or miss (the stickers on the Dame Edna collection peel off with time)- but i do find a hint of joy when searching through my mounds of black tubes and stumble upon something different. What do YOU think about special packaging from MAC? And are you willing to pay more money for it? What are some of your favorite collections with special packaging? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
Here is one of my favorite limited edition lipsticks in one of MAC's more lovely special packaging- Peach Stock from the Liberty of London line. It's the perfect matte nude for darker tone girls like me! And if you are wondering where I got my darling lipstick holder (pictured above), it is a custom-made lipstick holder from my talented friend Teresa. Check out her blog and other goodies at the T Collection: by Terese Ellis. 
LOVE IT!!! Thanks for mentioning me!!! :) means a ton!!! Teresa

hey, nice post. i cant believe mac went up so much for the disney collection, they prob did this on purpose knowing all the hype for the collection. i havent been into mac really long but from what i see, a lot of people loved liberty of london packaging a lot. the packaging is kind of plain for VV though. i wish i was into mac when liberty of london came out bc it looked like a nice collection too. and of course peach stock looks amazing on you. i loveee nudes
ReplyDeletethat lipstick looks gorgeous on you :) I do love there limited edition packaging because it just makes the product that much more special haha. i actually love the venomous villains collection because the characters on on the packaging! i dont own any yet because there not in canada yet.. i think. lol.
ReplyDeletegreat post! I like special packaging because it is easy to find in my crazy collection...LOL..I for one thought they could have done a better job for the VV collection, but really..it is the product that counts..I wish peach stock looked good on me..it soo washed me out..i think so far my favorite LE product is instant chic from pret a paper and I have no favorite packaging yet!! I wasn't an addict when hello kitty came out, so I missed that boat..LOL

I am super excited for the venomous villains line! Cruella de ville has some awesome colors!
ReplyDeleteI like special packaging but really wish they wouldn't increase the price for VV. It's nothing more complicated or special compared to Hello Kitty yet more expensive.
ReplyDeletethats a great collection. i do believe that some of macs collection are either great or just sad. special packaging i think definitely makes a big difference. the lipstick holder btw, is really nice!
ReplyDeleteI'm "iffy" on this. I think I'm only willing to fork over my money if its a collection I like. I wish I could have gotten something from the Hello Kitty Collection, though. :(
ReplyDeleteyou are the most beautiful thing!
ReplyDeleteLove the nude lipstick on u. I'm actually quite excited with the new collection. The blushes and shadows are actually very pretty!

i don't want to pay a bit more especially if they are just stickers stuck on my products. However, i probably will just give in to the hype. My fav collection has to be the Liberty of London.. love it! i don't believe we had to pay extra for this and at least the packaging was nice :)
ReplyDeleteim so excited about mac and disneys makeup collection, its going to be amazing :)

great post ,,
ReplyDeleteam sucker for packaging ,,
but i wont go gaga crazy over the stuff ,,
maybe one or 2 items i like =)
Omg I have my eyes set on 7 items already! *there goes my money* to be honest....... I am a sucker for packaging.... something about the packaging draws me in to it, but I know if this collection was a normal MAC in there normal packaging, I wouldnt really go crazy over it. But seriously, I don't think it's worth paying so much for something you know you may never use. I bought the SHELL PEARL from Liberty of london and I know alot of people rave about it, and I regret buying it :( xxx
