MAC Holiday Collection 2010 MAC A Tartan Tale Color Collection

Ahhh here it is dears. Official release information and photos for MAC A Tartan Tale for Holiday 2010. Can you believe we are here already? Halloween hasn’t even come yet and we are all about MAC Holiday.

Horror!

But damn horror never felt so bloody good.

Jump!

Do you hear the bonny bagpipes on the moors, or Johnny Rotten and the Sex Pistols? One in each ear? We’re telling a slightly twisted Tartan Tale to celebrate Holiday 2010, in all its posh, punk, ancestral, anarchic, noble and naughty glory. Royal and raunchy, colours and patterns collide, fantasies come true, punk faeries take flight, with poetic new looks for Eyes to gaze long upon Glamora Castle: Dazzleglass Creme like Radiant Jewels; Lipstick Kisses from The Faerie Glen; Black Swan Pearlglide Intense Eye Liner; Family Crest Pigment; My Highland Honey from the heather in Powder Blush; Sexy Style Clan Nail Lacquer; and forever Zoom Fast Black Lash mascara, for the Dark Prince, or Princess.

So what do you think?

Loving the shadows! I’m quite excited about them. However, I will say, I’m so crushed that they didn’t embrace the Tartan pattern for the blushes! I can name about fifty MAC Crackheads who will be utterly hyped about the re-release of Pearlglide.

Damn!

I’m kinda hyped about A Tartan Tale’s Color Collection!

Next up, the gift sets…..

Anything here appealing?

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    I am loving the products so far, just based on the pictures! I’ve been so disappointed with many of the holiday collections, but MAC’s collection has got me excited! Can’t wait til it’s released!!!

  • Eve

    I also thought the blushes should have the tartan print! Even the packaging for the glosses/lipsticks maybe? To make it feel more special edition at least. But I LOVE the eyeshadows!!!!

    • the Muse

      Eve I can kinda sorta understand the lack of print on the glosses and lipsticks since mac doesn’t normally do prints for Holiday items but the blush? damn! ;-D

  • MarTina

    So excited. I love this collection so far. Although some of the colors are appear dupable the collection as a whole seems promising. 🙂 What are your favs?

    • the Muse

      def agreed martina! dupes to be had all around. I love all the shadows in this collection 🙂

  • jenna

    i’m safe from this collection! nothing appeals to me. just too bold for me. oh well, that means move that part of the budget on over to another holiday collection!

  • jane

    weren’t there supposed to be brushes that were going to be released with this collection too?

  • Jennifer

    The e/s singles look lovely! i’m wondering whether the ‘stripes’ will have any effect on the overall color when swatched? they look quite tiny and are just there for decoration 🙂

    • the Muse

      Not sure Jennifer ;-D but looking forward to trying. Someone had mentioned mac was trying some sort of new technology with these and will possibly have the design run all the way through!?

  • duchessbelle

    That Sly as a Fox nail color looks awesome. Definitely grabbing that one!

  • MC

    Oooohhhh I want it ALL!!!! LoL…but I already see myself getting Enviably Fun Grass eyeshadow and Sly as Fox Shadow. Pretty Pretty eye candy to look at while sick in bed today!

  • Yao

    Wow, this is the first MAC collection I’ve really loved. Granted, my MAC obsession only started six or so months ago, but the eyeshadow packaging is just gorgeous!

    • the Muse

      yay yao ;-D Nice to hear it. Oh girl you have a long hard road ahead of you hehe mac is crack!

  • Sarah G.

    Here’s hoping Nordy’s is letting us put this stuff on hold! The 28th is my bday and what a great bday it’ll be! I can just use the excuse that I’m getting in touch with my Irish background when I buy every plaid thing I see in sight at the counter.

  • cassie

    Are the pearlglide eyeliners any good? I do not have very good luck with MAC eyeliners, they fade really quickly on me.

    • the Muse

      they are quite nice cassie but big pet peeve for me is they can’t be used on the waterline 😛

  • Gia

    More yahs!! I’m super excited for this collection! More excited than i’ve been for a MAC collection in awhile. The last few collections have been a little blah for me. While Villains had a few nice things it didn’t wow me like I was expecting!

  • Nia

    Pigments! Will be mine. The rest is not spectacular, but that might not mean that there are not hidden gems in there 😉 The grey eyeshadow looks very interesting: A grey with teal mixed in? Yes, please.

    So you have the eyeshadows on the radar?! Cannot wait for your reviews 🙂

  • GJ

    I’m super excited for this collection! Can’t wait to get my hands on it. 🙂
    Does anyone have any recommendations for which pearlglide intense eye liner would go great with green/ hazel eyes?
    (mine are a mix of those)
