Although I do love the shades, I really feel like they could have done better with the packaging. It's a bit drab and uninspiring. There are far nicer images of her IMO that would have looked better for a makeup collection dedicated to her.
I have to agree with Simone G here and say that the packaging isnt very inspiring...Its a bit cheap looking and doesnt do the beautiful Marilyn justice! Marilyn was luminous with a timeless quality and they had a great opportunity here to be really creative and do something original. If it wasnt for the MAC brand on the packaging, you wouldnt know this was a MAC product, it looks like every other lipstick or blusher with a stock Marilyn Monroe pic on the front.Im not a fan of the black and red here. MAC have had some awesome packaging in the past but somehow I dont think this works. That said the colours look nice so worth a look I think x
I am excited for this to be released - I have seen a few swatches and this looks like its going to be a great collection. The lipsticks are so pigmented. I bet it will sell out fast I will need to be quick.
Cannot wait to try these out! x P.S. Jane, I am a longterm reader and Twitter follower and this is my first comment (Will try and put more interesting ones in future!), just wanted to say how much I love your blog!
