It’s raining MAC, hallelujah! Are you ready to get your MAC attack on? — because the collections are falling faster than you can say, “Put it on my charge card, please.”
There’s Style Black, which launches on Thursday, along with four more releases either out now or available soon after that.
- Trend F/W ’09 — A collection for lips and eyes (there’s a scent, too!), featuring colors inspired by an urban landscape.
- DSquared — With products for cheeks, lips and eyes, DSquared is all about sooty eyes, sculpted skin and soft, kissable lips.
- Dazzleglass Cremes — Shimmery versions of MAC’s incredible Dazzleglass glosses.
- Zoom Fast Black Lash — The latest member of the MAC mascara family should deliver hella dark, dramatic lashes.
Are you ready for another installment of What Would You Get?
Your makeup mission (aka your virtual haul), should you choose to accept it: If you could get any one of the following three options in its entirety (and entirely free!), which one would it be? Peruse the pics and deets, and share your answer in the poll at the bottom. 🙂

Loading ...Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Ive been staring at the Tone Gray quad since yesterday and for some reason I want want want it. Imma haul myself to the mall (at least) this weekend and look at it in person. Im more an eyeshadow girl than anything so that is what I want.
Hi Nina,
It looks pretty and very wearable.
I LOVE eyeshadow too. What are your MAC faves? I can’t live without Soft Brown, Mulch, Woodwinked, Soba and Concrete (for the brows).
Hey karen,
I’m with you on dsquared 100%. I want pretty much the whole collection. I want the lip erase product, the 165 brush (which I’ve never tried) and the blood red lipstick. I want to try the pinky one, but I doubt it’l work since the urban decay naked lippie didn’t work for me. Plus, everyone raves about the feline liner so I want to see what that’s about. Oh man, karen I was going to pass on the greasepaint for style black, but you’re making me want it!
Hi Shontay,
I like the fact they’re in stick form — so portable, and you can use ’em with just fingers. The lazy woman in me says, “YES!”
I vote for you trying the pinky one… you never know, it might be the nude lip for you!
I want red full stop. My lip collection looks so boring… I think some bold colors would really jazz things up!

Hi Blovet Beauty,
A girl can never have enough reds. 😉
I’m really lemming the Tone: Grey quad (gorgeous!!) and need to get to a MAC store to smell Asphalt Flower (stunning packaging)… but I think I’d have to agree with you and go for DSquared. The whole collection looks like it’ll be amazing!
.-= Rae’s last blog post… Yah, so I pretty much have the lamest hobby ever. =-.
Hi Rae,
I like the packaging too — it’s strong yet still femme at the same time. WANT!
I have had the lip erase forever since it is a pro item and by far it is the best product out any of these collections IMO. I think the Dsquared looks pretty exciting. Of course I’ll be buying the other ones to bc of course I cant resist. Darn you MAC!!!
Hi Amanda,
I think it does too. I love their lip conditioners and can’t wait to try the one in that collection.
Ugh. I’m a SUCKER for those damn Dazzleglasses. The swatches on the MAC website look really pretty.
Karen, I love the 165. I use it on a daily basis for highlighting with my MSFs. They need to make it permanent!
Hi Elle,
Girl, check yo’ e-mail!
DAZZLEGLASS! i’m all about the lips! use fluidline or longwearing gel eyeliner with a smashbox #8 brush for a quick cat eye, apply a bold lip color, then get out!
so easy, and so dramatic. 🙂
happy hump day, karen!
.-= ines, felix and kitten (the office kitties)’s last blog post… What to Wear When You Don’t Know What to Wear =-.
Karen–just checked it. Thanks!!
Sounds like Christmas is coming soon:) with all these goodies around us:) I would get the Zoom Fast Black Lash and the Dazzleglass Cremes 🙂
.-= Tavia a’s last blog post… Chic Giveaway: Comment to win the 155$ La Prairie Anti-Aging Eye Cream SPF 15 – A Cellular Intervention Complex =-.
Karen:
My fave MAC eyeshadows would be Twinks, Expensive Pink, Humid, Ricepaper, Soba and Print. I love the Starflash and Veluxe Pearl finishes the best!
Today though, since I woke up late, I have Constructivist Paint Pot + Mac Dream Maker and then Mac Glamour Check + Mac Surreal. Then I lined my eyes w/ brown liquid eyeliner (Loreal Lineur Intense) and retraced the line w/ Mac Humid.
Took me 5 minutes to do that and made it to work on time. Whew!
I am itching for one of those dazleglasses and I am DEF getting feline eye pencil.
I want all of the DSquared because they have more unique products not currently in my collection. I could live with just a couple of the dazzleglass cremes and not the whole collection.
.-= Kajal Couture’s last blog post… MAC Style Black Swatches =-.
Um, Karen, what kind of makeup addict are you? Clearly you’d get some stuff from ALL of them :).
AAHHH! I was so looking forward to getting some things from either Chanel, Guerlain or Dior, but looks like everybody will be spoiled by MAC for the next week. I didn’t realize until today that DSquared pushed up their release date being now only 4 days away from both Dazzle Cremes and Style Black. Knowing the Vancouver MAC store, they may just decide to release all 3 the same day. I will be picking up a little something from all 3 collections. I definitely will be picking up the Volcanic Ash skin care and all the paint sticks and a Feline liner.
.-= amy’s last blog post… FOTD MAC Haunting and Buckwheat Eyeshadows with MAC Archtype Lipstick =-.
All three please and thank you!! haha
The Dsquared collection all the way I think mostly because of the brush and the greasepaint sticks and well hell all ot it!!!
i want the baby goth nail polish and the blood red lipstick.I tried the new mascara early from mac and i DO NOT LIKE IT! Wet,smeary,and clumpy. The MA suggested Flawless Definition (new)from Bare Escentuals and the Prime Time eyelid primer. LOVVVVE ITTT!!!
In all honesty if I could afford it I’d buy it all! Those collections are divine! But if I had to choose it would be the Dazzleglass Cremes & the Zoom Fast Black Lash.
I actually went to MAC yesterday and picked up some Hipster (which was out in a previous collection a few years back), Our Pick, as well as some New Berry gloss. I LOVE MAC, but they do a lot of repackaging of products. I’m looking forward to Style Black, but worried about it wreaking havoc on my budget. 🙂
.-= Diva Style’s last blog post… Designers to Watch~Kishani Perera =-.
I’m heading over to grab a couple of Style Black goodies tomorrow, Blackfire glimmerglass and Baby Goth Girl nail polish! For those hard rockin’ days! 😛
Oh, and that brush belongs in my grubby little paws too! 🙂
P.S. Got invited by one of my MA’s to attend a release party for the holiday collection on Oct. 6th! Seems a bit early, yah? But I’m going anyway so’s I can score the Cremesheens! Woot!
I would grab the Dsquared goodies as well! In real life, where money is required, I will probably pick up a greasepaint stick and one of the dazzleglass cremes!
I’d go with Dsquared, since it has a bit of everything and lots of new! But, since we’re virtually hauling, I’d also get Red Full Stop and a Dazzleglass Creme…a girl can dream, right? =)
.-= Marce’s last blog post… Look Primavera 09 – Delineador Extremo =-.
I would get the 3 greasepaint sticks from D squared and probably check out the grey quad eyeshadow.
For some reasons, I really want that faultlessly f/w lipstick…even more so than the black knight lipstick. (Maybe I am in the mood for Halloween already) the lip conditioner is also on my list as well.
.-= Citrine’s last blog post… Organix Tea Tree Mint Shampoo =-.
OMG… so much stuff!
.-= Catherine’s last blog post… NOTD + Pa polishes =-.
Trend F/W ‘09 — I have ordered the one that does not seem to fit in: Red Full-Stop! Otherwise I’ll pass. Blues are no no for me, and the other lippies are mostly too dark or uninteresting (even On Display is a bit too dark for me).
DSquared — I’ll pass. Not my colours, and I already have 2 sculpt and shape powders and a lip erase I do not use.
Dazzleglass Cremes — Don’t know yet. I’ll wait for swatches.
Zoom Fast Black Lash — Pass.
For me it’s the Trend one. I’ve seen it in Canada two days ago and it was love at first sight, especially that lipstick!! Too bad I was pretty much broke by then… lol
