March 21, 2011 4:53 pm My first thought when it came out was "cool" because at least female geeks were being acknowledged a little. After seeing pictures of the line, I wasn't that impressed. It looked lame. Then it was tried by my friend and the color was all wrong. It didn't look like the color it claimed to be. I tested it at the store and the lip glosses were goopy and the colors were just eh. The only thing worth considering getting was the eyeliner because I tried it on my hand and it took two days of repeated washings before it went away.

I give MAC and DC credit for attempting to market to women, they could've done better and the only sexist thing I find with it is they didn't do a good enough job. It feels like so much effort goes into products targeted to men, like the action figures or costumes, but when it's to women, it's a slutty costume or something made excessively "girly" or just half assed. Seriously, just look at some of the products in the line. The makeup bag is just a metallic colored bag with a Wonder Woman tag. It's cheap. There's just a general feeling of it being a cheap collection and that's what women are supposed to buy? Just because it has Wonder Woman on it? This line should have represented Wonder Woman's power and beauty instead of using her as a cheap marketing ploy. Needless to say, it's left me feeling conflicted.
