Everyone loves a good villain. As much as a part of me will always yearn to be a Disney princess, another greater side of me is fascinated by the infamous villains that Disney has had over the decades. The wicked Maleficent is arguably one of the most popular of these villains as well as my personal favorite. In fact, she’s the only villain that has had a film of her own, brought to life wonderfully of course by Angelina Jolie herself. I don’t necessarily agree with how they portrayed her in the film (I prefer my Maleficent dark and heartless, not forgiving and emotional), but that’s a tale for another time!
When I heard a few months ago or so that MAC was releasing a Maleficent collection inspired by the film, I could barely contain myself. On the day it was released, I actually stood outside the mall an hour before it even opened to make sure I could get first dibs on what I wanted from it! One of the items I picked was the only lipstick part of the collection in the shade “True Love’s Kiss”.
MAC kept it quite simple with this collection concerning the packaging and the lipstick tube looks very similar to their regular lipsticks, save for the lacquer appearance and the Maleficent logo accompanied with Maleficent’s wings in the background. I’m always pleased when they come up with a new packaging design for their limited edition products because I find it a little pointless to sell them in their regular packaging, which MAC does on occasion. The product doesn’t look unique and collecting them doesn’t feel as thrilling. I want it to stand out from the rest of the items in my makeup collection. They’re limited edition for a reason, right?
