To be fair, the collection is designed to be fairly simple, I think. Otherwise, I bet you could find similar shades and products from another brand without much trouble. If you're a fan of hers, then I think you'll probably love the idea of having a lipstick or blush with her image on the case (and they're not stickers!). I swear, my package came yesterday and when I opened it up, I just kind of sat and stared at the boxes with all the lovely pictures of Marilyn. In the end, it's really the packaging that makes this collection so special. Now, don't get me wrong - I am thrilled with my purchases and there are a couple of products that I'm pretty much in love with.īut on the whole, there's really nothing particularly special about the colors or products in this collection. If you were unable to purchase anything from MAC's Marilyn Monroe Collection before it sold out and are feeling bummed about it, I think I can make you feel a little bit better.
