12 things to know about the MAC Philip Treacy collection
- It’s pronounced “tree-see” (not tree-say), and it’s available now (LE, available starting March 26, 2015).
- Blacktrack is a re-promote.
- With the High-Light Powders, the silver is an overspray.
- Blue Peep Pro Longwear Fluidline is abso-friggin’-lutely beautiful.
- Royal Wink Pro Longwear Fluidline isn’t as pigmented as I’d like.
- If you get one lipstick from the release, let it be No Faux Pas (it’s one of the more comfy MAC mattes I’ve worn).
- The High-Light Powders are probably better for pale princesses than darker divas (they look a little ashy on my NC42 skin).
- Genuine Treasure Paint Pot is like a golden glitter top coat for your lids.
- False Lashes mascara is also a re-promote, and it’s great at thickening and making your lashes look really dark (but not so good at holding a curl).
- This collection is based on hats. 🙂
- I’m seriously considering “that hat life” because apparently I don’t do my hair anymore.
- I’m not wearing hats in any of these pictures because I gave them all to Goodwill in a cleaning fit/frenzy at the beginning of the year.
London-based Philip Treacy is a big deal maker of hats, and the MAC Philip Treacy collection was inspired by three of his coiffure-covering creations…
Here’s also a quick video overview of the release…

March 27th, 2015 at 1:38 amHi Karen,
I didn’t get anything from this collection although I am still tempted by the Hollywood Cerise lipstick!
As far as hats, I love them and I keep buying them and they usually look good on me but then I am too shy to wear them out so they just sit around unworn…

March 27th, 2015 at 3:22 amI wear hats, but my head is quite small do I have to adjust them to make them fit.
Karen says
March 27th, 2015 at 12:35 pmHa! I have the opposite problem. My hair takes a good amount of room so sometimes I can’t get hats to fit.

March 27th, 2015 at 4:32 amI have my sights set on Blue Peep!
As far as hats go, I wear them but I don’t think I look good in them. I just wear them for practical reasons, not so much for fashion 🙂

March 27th, 2015 at 5:29 amI can’t keep up with MAC these days, it seems like they’re coming out with new limited collections every week, I’m gonna go bankrupt :)) I’m skipping this collection but looking forward their summer collection, I’m planning to get the lipsticks from the Giambattista Valli collection.
Karen says
March 27th, 2015 at 12:34 pmYeah, they like to keep things interesting! That’s one thing I love about them.

March 27th, 2015 at 9:22 amI grabbed No Faux Pas and Hollywood Cerise. I think Blue Peep will be in my near future.
I don’t wear hats nearly enough. I look really cute in them.
Karen says
March 27th, 2015 at 12:34 pmI’m with you! I’m sort of regretting giving away the hats I had in the house. Oh well… I guess that gives me an excuse to find another had to fall in love with.
I hope that you get the chance to try Blue Peep on! It’s one of my new fave things.
Have a wonderful Friday!

March 27th, 2015 at 12:33 pmTrue that! What do you think of the blue liner? Would you wear it?
Lulle says
March 27th, 2015 at 2:36 pmOh yes! I actually think that blue liner really makes the green in my eyes pop.

March 27th, 2015 at 2:46 pmI really like all three of the of these lippies. As for hats, I look good in fedoras and ranchers to me but everyone tells me I don’t. I like fascinators though!

March 28th, 2015 at 6:09 amI have Genuine Treasure from another collection MAC did, but find that it has a lot of fall out :0(
In a couple of hours you have glitter all under your eyes…
Do you experience the same?

March 28th, 2015 at 6:44 amThis collection looks so beautiful but it just doesn’t seem to live up to the hype. The highlight powders seem to be a did across the board and I really wanted Royal Wink but your swatch just turned me all the way off lol. I think Hollywood Cerise may be the only thing I grab from this collection. Maybe.
