MAC & Marcel Wanders - Luxe Couture collection

Launch: 24 November 2010 [US/Canada]

“If I have a basic motivation, it’s to inspire people to make their life a Masterpiece!” Is that not what we do every day at M∙A∙C? So it is that the Dutch industrial designer – known for everything from his “Happy Hour” Chandelier to his futuresonic way with old Delft porcelain, and for co-founding now-iconic design collective Droog AND the amusing, classicism-meets-futurism objects of his own group, Moooi (from the Dutch word for “beauty,” but with an extra “o” for extra-beautiful!) – wandered HERE…It had to be! M∙A∙C partners with Marcel Wanders – his first foray into the world of cosmetics – and design sophisticates (and people with innate and irreverent tastes) will be bonkers for these limited-edition Lipstick, Lip Gloss, Sheer Mystery Powder, Air of Style Scent Concentrate, and his signature brush and clutch creations, not least of all for their arresting packaging – fine collectors’ items all! But also for the rich palette, inspired by 17th-century Flemish painting, and particularly, Vermeer – “The Girl With a Pearl Earring” – and the idea of an artist painting a portrait, and falling in love. “Always, with a sense of love in the product…” he says. Marcel speaks our M∙A∙C language.

MAC Style Black Collection (Launch Sept. 24, 2009)

Hi Beauties!

I hope many of you are as excited as I am about the new MAC Style Black Collection which is set to Launch in the U.S. on September 24th.

I was able to get a sneak peak at the collection today at my MAC store and I have to admit I left really excited!

The Grease Paint Stick was to die for! It can be worn as an eyeliner, an eyeshadow base or alone for a smokey look. I layered 1 of the Mineralized eyeshadows on top of it and it was AMAZING!

I am also very excited about the infamous Volcanic Ash Exfoliator. Ever since this product was released years ago as limited edition it has received nothing less than Holy Grails! I will be getting mine for sure!

The nailpolishes were all great looking. I love the look of the black on really short manicured nails. CHIC!

The lipsticks in black are uber-chic! You really need to be confident with yourself to wear the black lips out. If you are a little more modest, the black lipsticks could be a great way for you to darken your other lipsticks by mixing with a brush. The Mattene lipstick in the wine color made my heart skip a beat. Simply Gorgeous!

This collection is very edgy and it is well worth a look.

XOXO,
Awilda

MAC Naked Honey Haulin and MAC Studio Talk Class

Hi Beauties!

I was super happy today because I was able to attend a "MAC Class" at my local MAC Store. The class was a private event hosted by a Senior MAC Artist for 2 hours. There was a full face demonstration by two artists who talked about many of the MAC products (of course) and also a Q&A session for audience to ask questions.

It was a great time and I would highly recommend attending one of these MAC Classes if they are available in your area.

Anyway, on to the good stuff. I did a little damage and picked up at few things I "needed". LOL

The Naked Honey Collection was released today and I was un-impressed.
I picked up the "Pollinator" Eyeshadow and the "Golden Nectar" Highlight powder. Honestly, I am retuning the powder because there's very little "reflects" in it and it wasn't what I expected. It's much too Satin-y, more like a Natural Skinfinish.


Other Goodies:
MAC 224 brush (An Eyeshadow blending must have)

MAC 227 brush (great for applying highlight)

MAC Earthly Riches Mineralized Eyeshadow Duo (Smokey grey Plum combo which is gorgeous on warm skin tones)

MAC Morange Lipstick (The trend is Bright, Coloful lips and this is spot on bright orange!)

MAC Melon Pigment (beautiful golden melon color for highlighting and eyeshadow)

Let me know if you have any questions on any of these.

XOXO,
Awilda
