I looked at this collection briefly when it appeared on the Temptalia beauty blog and I liked many of the products and shades from this collection but there were only one or two lip products that really caught my attention and that I want to buy from the collection. I didn't bother with a pre-order on this collection, there wasn't enough that I liked when I was playing with the collection at the counter the other week and since finals are beginning, it is just much easier for me to order items from the website.
Taste Temptation contains lots of jewel toned hues and will be best for getting dressed up and going out at night. Nothing in this collection will work well for the office or the daylight hours and many people may find some of the hues very hard to carry off...
"A seductive style surfaces after-hours, drawing in an exotic panorama of pleasure-seeking, night-blooming violets. M∙A∙C captures this world in an elegant colour collection of deep purples, plums and amethysts."

M·A·C professional brushes are hand-sculpted and assembled using the finest quality materials. They feature wood handles and nickel-plated brass ferrules.
My favorite piece of the collection is the one lip shade that ended up on my December Most Wanted list, the Mattene Lipstick in Night Blooming, this bright pink matte lip hue will be perfect for the rest of the winter months and then all the way into the spring months. I love bold pink lip hues and this one is no exception, all MAC Lipsticks make me happy and I want to add more to my collection!
I will be skipping over all of the eye makeup shades in this collection, I would never use any of the navy shades on my eyes and I don't know that I would use the plum shade very often and I know that I wouldn't use it in the spring. I would be more likely to look at a shade like this late next summer when I am shopping around for fall makeup. I will return to a deep plum hue in the Fluidline eventually but I will skip over it in this round. Neither of the blush shades catches my eye either, the only products that work for me from this collection will be the lip products.
There are a few shades of Tinted Lipglass that I would like to add my collection, even though lip gloss is the last item that I should be buying right now. Perky and Good Times will work now while my skin is pale and then all throughout the spring and summer, they are well worth the purchase. Lastly, the Nail Lacquer shade in Blue Gaze. This deep periwinkle is like nothing else in my polish collection and I will get lots of use from it.
Holiday is pretty much finished up for MAC and now I am ready for the spring collections that will be out starting in January!
