When I was four, my favorite thing on television was The Muppet Show. I remember sitting in front of our set and praying I wouldn’t have to get up to fix the bunny ears on top of the TV, because I didn’t want to miss a single second.
I especially loved the two old dudes in the balcony who made fun of everyone, the adorable Fozzy bear, the Swedish Chef (“Bork! Bork! Bork!”) and of course, the diva of all divas, Miss Piggy.
How could you not love a glamorous pig in high heels, pearls and opera-length gloves? 🙂
It’s been a while since Miss P. and the Muppets were in the spotlight, but they’ll be back on the big screen once again, this November 23, in their new Disney flick, simply called, The Muppets.
To coincide with the movie’s release, MAC’s releasing the minuscule Miss Piggy for MAC collection, a three-piece release for eyes, exclusively online in North America and select countries on November 14.
Take a look at the pics and swatches below, and let me know if anything strikes your fancy.
Clockwise from the lower left: Lash in 36 ($15), Penultimate Eye Liner in Rapid Black ($17.50) and Eye Shadow in Miss Piggy Pink ($15)

Speaking of movies, I ended up watching Footloose last night, and believe it not, I thought it was really, REALLY good! 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

I didn’t realize there would just be 3 products! They seem really nice, though. I like the lashes! Maybe one day I’ll be brave enough to wear something like that:)
Karen says
You can do it! False lashes are super fun. You could always try cutting them in half and wearing them jus ton your outer corners…
Antonia at Swedish Love Affair says
Thanks for your support, Karen!:)
Carrie Ann says
I love Miss Piggy! I hope I can get my hands on that eye shadow. It looks so pretty!
Karen says
It should be really pretty for a wash on the lids, dontcha think?
Remember Miss Piggy in Pigs in Space? PIGS IN SPACE! LOL
Gina says
What! You can’t even see the color of the shadow. It’s sheerer than a blush. I’ll pass on that. But the lashes look nice!
Karen says
I like how MAC’s lash bands are so thin. Hopefully they’ll be easy to put on. 🙂
Joyce says
The eyeshadow seems a little sheer. Also, I wish they added more products to this collection. I can’t believe there is only one eyeshadow in this collection. =(
Karen says
Yup, it’s a small one.
Joyce says
Do you think it’s a must-have eyeshadow (color wise)? I would probably be more inclined to buy it if it had special packaging hehe…but is the color similar to any of the other Mac eyeshadows?
Karen says
I’ll have to let you know after I play with it some more, but right now I’d say it would have to boil down to whether or not you like 1) pink eyeshadow (I personally love it!), and 2) sheers. I plan to put it on tomorrow morning… will let you know then if it’s the bomb.com. 😉
How was your Thursday? Good, I hope.

I had chai creme brulee for dessert last night and thought of you. It was awesomely delicious.
Karen says
Oh wow, that sounds delicious. My sweet tooth has been in overdrive lately, and that dessert would totally hit the spot. Did you make it yourself?
steph b says
Nope. Had it at the Paper Canoe in Duck, NC. But I will be reproducing it. Would be simple enough to infuse the cream with chai flavors.
Karen says
When you make it at home I’d love to have the recipe. I’ve never made creme brulee before, so this would be my excuse to 1) buy one of those little torches (FUN) and 2) learn something new.
Adrienne says
Oh dear god tha sounds positively amazing!! Two or my favorite food/ drinks in the whole world!
Jenn A. says
This kind of seems like a pointless collection, with only one of the products being limited edition. And it doesn’t even seem that unique or great. Kind of glad I’m not too interested in this, it’s hard to keep up with all the collections sometimes!
Karen says
It feels a little rushed, doesn’t it?
Hboo says
I’m not really surprised how little this collection is, because after all Miss Piggy wasn’t HUGE about make up. Some red lipstick and bright blush would of been cool though! I’m still going to buy the pink shadow though, I’m super pale so I think it’ll show up nicely on me!
Karen says
A blush would’ve been great! You know Miss P. wouldn’t be caught dead without her rouge.
Crystal says
Those lashes look great and I’m a sucker for anything pink!
Karen says
Me too!
Are you still watching Terra Nova? I gave up a few weeks ago.
Crystal says
Nope I couldn’t take it. I gave up watching the show. It’s too bad such a good idea gone WRONG!
Karen says
Haha, neither could I. I’m kindasorta digging the new Sarah Michelle Gellar series, though, Ringer.
Crystal says
I love Ringer and Revenge. They are the only shows that have really kept me happy so far.
Karen says
OOh, I haven’t watched Revenge, but I’ve heard good things. Is it fast paced? I find Ringer kind of slow, but I stick with it because I love SMG so much.
Chris25 says
It’s disappointing. They could have done more with such an iconic Muppet.
Karen says
I was hoping for a little more, too. I’m gonna take the pink shadow for a spin tomorrow… wish I had a purple and green shade to wear with it from this collection.
sheila says
love miss piggy and can’t wait to see! loving all the recent collections – wonder woman, ms piggy, etc. nostalgia done right!
Karen says
So fun, right? I’m still keeping my fingers crossed that they do a Storm from X-Men collection someday.
thepaigest says
YES! And Emma Frost and Rouge!
PinkGlitter says
I thought this collection could be really fun but was disappointed to find out there are only three products. I do love the lashes though.
Karen says
I’m going to try to rock those tomorrow. Wish me luck!
Vonvon says
I almost cannot see the eyeshadow! Pity! I like it so much in the pan, though!
Karen says
Super sheer! It still might be fun to play with if you want more of a wash.
Adrienne says
I can’t believe it’s only three pieces 🙁 I know they’ve released a lot lately, but they could’ve had so much fun with this!!
Karen says
Right? You know what would be awesome? A green eyeshadow named “Kermie.”
Adrienne says
Oh shiz, that would’ve been perfect!! Maybe even more two different pinks, a lighter sheer one like this, and a brighter more pigmented one. Or a cute little nail polish!
Adrienne says
Maybe a little snout motif on the eyeshadow packaging! I dont know, just some play with the packaging!
Kajal Couture says
I will probably get the shadow only because Miss Piggy reminds me of the good ol days when my biggest worry was how to style my barbie’s hair. I am totally falling in to the marketing trap…sigh.
Karen says
How I miss those days! I would love for my biggest problem to be what to wear to school the next day, le sigh.
JennySue Makeup says
Looks perfectly piggy!!! The pink blush is a must and individual lashes are the bomb.
Karen says
Aww, I wish it was a blush. It’s an eyeshadow… a very sheer one!
Vonvon says
Sorry to interrupt, but yea, since it’s so sheer, perhaps it can be used as a blush as well. 🙂
Christy says
wow a pink I could actually (maybe) pull off 😉
Karen says
Yes! I think you could do this shade easily. 🙂
Jamie says
really MAC!??! three pieces…not even special packaging with Miss Piggy’s face on it. I’m sad. they should have done something in the color of those lavender gloves like a polish. lol
Karen says
That would’ve been awesome. Or how about a Beauty Powder with the color of her hair? Or an eyeshadow inspired by her eyes?
Bun Bun Makeup Tips says
Oh yeah, I agree with Jamie. No cute packaging at all? Should’ve at least Miss Piggy’s face. Her face is iconic!
Karen says
That would’ve been cool. Or maybe purple like her gloves!
blovetbeauty says
can’t wait to try out some MAC lashes ! love how flattery and flirty they look
Kim says
Oh, I think it’s super cute! And it’s the epitome of Miss Piggy. 🙂 OMG, that reminds me that a friend of mine wore false lashes for Halloween and I was complimenting her on them. She was like “yeah… um… I glued my lashes together by mistake. But it ended up working out”. She was afraid that she’d be coming in like a one-eye-glued-but-fluttering hot mess, which would also have been funny. Back to the Muppets, I loved Beaker.
Karen says
LOL! I have totally done that! Now are you wearing false lashes tonight?
Nina says
i want the pink eyeshadow. mostly because i love love love Miss Piggy. she is a fierce lady!
Karen says
She is. I love how she’s been hell bent on getting her man for the past 30 or so years, LOL! Kermit is such a good sport.
Nina says
i <3 kermie too …. dare i say, he was my first ever crush? LOL!
Karen says
Adorable. Mine was Davy Jones from The Monkees. I was five, LOL!
Karo says
This LE ist not for me…I think this products are boring!
xoxo
But I love Miss Piggy-she is so cute <3
Rica says
Aww. So there’s nothing special about the packaging?
Melissa D. says
Okay, so you know how I ADORE MAC!!!! I wish there were more things, in the Muppet Collection… Gee-sh!!! Imagine an Iridescent Kermit the Frog eye shadow…to die for!!!! However, I love the pink eye shadow!!!
kohina says
I wish there was some kind of lip color in this collection cause pink eyeshadow just makes me look like I have pink eye no matter how I apply it.
thepaigest says
Can’t wait!! I love the scene with her and Joan Rivers at the makeup counter. I think that really got me wanting me to destroy my moms makeup!! Can’t wait! Agree with above where’s the lipstick!!
Karen says
Yeah, and hot pink gloss would’ve been killer!
thepaigest says
They could have called it “Ooooh Kermie” <3
thepaigest says
OH and by the way thanks for the tip on Footloose I really wasn’t going to see it! BUT i love dance movies! I wonder if they will remake TEEN WITCH!
Karen says
Me too! Dirty Dancing, Step Up, Save the Last Dance… I love them all!
Nines says
Totally echoing everyone else’s comments that have already been made. But i’m soooo very sad there isn’t any fun packaging to this. I had heard it was only the three items, so had come to terms with that, and items that were fine, but not anything that I found all that interesting… But I thought we would at least get cute packaging! I totally would have bought it just for that! They could’ve even put Miss Piggy on the BOX of a normally packaged shadow and I would have gone for it… I’m so sad. =( A tear…
Maybe they will realize their mistake, or were just trying to trick us… and when they release the movie on DVD ~ BAM! Miss Piggy, Kermit & Gonzo inspired colors!!! Eh? Maybe? I suppose anything is possible, a girl can dream. =)
