MAC Good Luck Trolls

mac good luck trolls collectionArtistry makeup brand MAC Cosmetics is known for some pretty outrageous collaborations over the years: Dame Edna, Barbie, Wonder Woman, Nasty Gal, Brooke Candy and Disney to name a few. (MAC launches 48 to 53 limited edition makeup collections per year.) But arguably the most surprising is the partnership with Good Luck Trolls, those wild-haired dolls that enjoyed a pop-culture moment in the 1980s.

Troll dolls were originally created in 1959 by Danish woodcutter Thomas Dam. Legend has it that he couldn’t afford to buy his daughter Lila a Christmas gift so he carved a doll from his imagination. When Lila showed her special doll to classmates at school, they wanted one too. Thomas quickly started producing the dolls which became a sensation in the United States by the early 1960s. In fact, they became one of the most popular toys of the decade. Trolls enjoyed a resurgence again in the 1980s and early 90s. Much of the later fame came with the introduction of a video game. DreamWorks Animation is preparing to introduce a feature film this year based on the toys so expect another wave of Good Luck Troll mania. MAC is fueling the movement with a limited edition makeup collection that debuts on August 4th. Here is the official announcement:

“Hair we go! The wild-haired dolls of your youth bring their rainbow tufts, bejeweled bellies and lucky charms to MAC Good Luck Trolls – a crazy-hued collection as silly as the creatures themselves. From Lipglass in Bubble Butt to Eyeshadow in Suns out, Buns Out and Beauty Powder in Glow Rida…being a troll has never been so glamorous!” – MAC Cosmetics

    Finally, a really cute collection. I had a small troll I used to have on my desk at work. The troll was only about an inch high. I was a prosecutor in New York and leave it to my friends, the cops, one day I walked out of my office for a second and when I walked back in, a few on my friendly police friends had tied a paperclip around my troll’s neck, hung him from the cabinet by my desk and they set my baby’s hair on fire. His aqua hair turned into an over processed perm. Anyway, this collection is very cute and I especially like the powders that have the troll insignia on the powder. Thanks for showing us this collection. I give it a 9 for quality and an extra point for bringing back so many memories, for a perfect 10.
