The only year I pretty much loved almost all the collections MAC put out was in 2006. Sundressing, Lure, Untamed, Nocturnelle, & Jewelescent made it a solid year for them in my book. But, hands down my all time favorite MAC collection as a whole (images, products, packaging) has to be Lure from June 2006. Even the secondary collections Bait & Hooked were amazing! I do have to say that the Heatherette collection comes in a VERY close second, & if they ever did a collaboration with The Blonds, that would probably make it into my top three very easily.
I think the reason I loved Lure was because the whole collection actually screamed “summer” to me. The colors of the products weren’t obnoxiously bright, & different shades of brown weren’t the main focus. The promotional image reminds you of a mermaid fresh out of the water, using a little hint of sex (no shirt, holler!) to pull in the eyes & grab your attention. Last but not least the packaging. It wasn’t tacky & fit the whole vibe of the collection perfectly, not to mention the green holographic foil inside of the product boxes was a nice added detail.
Can we go back to this? Back when a collection didn’t come out every week, the collections that did come out weren’t filled with nothing but products from a collection two seasons ago, or those same products with a new name and maybe a change to the finish. The quality of the products was better (although not as good as they were in 2004 and earlier) & pigmentation was comparable to lines like Make Up For Ever, & Illamasqua, etc.. Please?
So with that all out of the way, what was/is your favorite collection from MAC, & why? Let me know in the comments below! Even if you’ve never shopped at MAC, tell me about a collection from another brand, & why you love it!
I also added images for the collections I mentioned above: Read more
