Rare Spotlight:

M·A·C 40 Shades of Pride Eyeshadow Vault

Some pieces are beautiful. Others are meaningful.
The M·A·C 40 Shades of Pride Eyeshadow Vault is both.

Released for Pride Month, this breathtaking limited-edition palette paid tribute to the LGBTQ+ community with 40 stunning eyeshadow shades representing love, inclusivity, and celebration. Even better? Just like the legendary Viva Glam program, 100% of the purchase price went directly to the M·A·C Viva Glam Fund in support of people affected by HIV/AIDS worldwide.

The packaging alone is a collector’s dream—glossy rainbow stripes paired with a puffy, quilted, dimensional texture that makes this vault-sized palette a tactile work of art. But the real beauty lies inside. Many of the shades carry the 2.0 label, a nod to M·A·C’s practice of reviving long-discontinued or fan-favorite shades from past collections. One of the most exciting inclusions is Playful from the original Barbie collection, alongside countless others that had once vanished from shelves.

This palette sold out instantly. Sparkle Society chased it at launch multiple times and was denied each time before finally securing it for the vault. That makes this set a personal triumph and an absolute crown jewel in our archive.

The M·A·C 40 Shades of Pride Vault remains nearly impossible to track down today, with its combination of meaning, artistry, and exclusivity creating the ultimate collector obsession.

For Sparkle Society XO, it is more than makeup—it’s a symbol of activism, love, and fierce inclusion. It reflects our passion for the Viva Glam legacy and our belief that beauty should uplift and unite everyone. Above all, we hold this piece as a reminder that beauty belongs to everyone, everywhere. We couldn’t be prouder to have it in our vault.

✨ Did you know? The M·A·C 40 Shades of Pride Eyeshadow Vault donated 100% of proceeds to the M·A·C Viva Glam Fund, supporting global HIV/AIDS relief. It sold out almost immediately and remains one of the rarest palettes in collector history! 🌈✨
