Such a jean-ius play on words don’t you think?
Similar to how the word yoyo has such great recall with the toy, the word jeans has become strongly related to the color blue. This is why MAC (I think!) decided to name its new limited edition eyeshadow name after. It comes in four colors that replicate different denim hues – Diva in Distress, Motorhead, StovePipe Black and White Jeanius. The one pictures above is Motorhead.
Diva In Distress Mid-tone gray with silver pearl (Limited Edition)
Motorhead Mid-tone blue with copper pearl (Limited Edition)
Stove Pipe Black Black with copper pearl (Limited Edition)
White Jeanius White with silver pearl (Limited Edition)
Each shadow is about $20 and is part of a limited edition collection, so if you want it:
Launch Date: March 3, 2011 for North America, March 2011 for International.
It seems we haven’t even really experienced winter yet (no snowstorms and shoveling 12 feet of snow and no cases of road trip medical assistance – thankfully) and we are celebrating spring already! MAC is already promoting their spring limited edition collection and I personally love all the pinks and greens!
Brilliant butterflies, flashy florals and gorgeously geometric graphics…A colourful collaboration between M·A·C and the artist known worldwide as Vera, who merged fine arts with linens, murals, textiles and silk scarves in her punchy, painted patterns. Now in shades plucked straight from her most lavish prints, M·A·C Vera embraces the luxe, lighter-than-air spirit that delivers the kind of startling, look-at-me statement that defines what it means to be an instant classic. Limited Edition.
Launch Date:
February 16, 2012 in North American, March 2012 at international MAC locations
If men would love to get cheap acid cigars as one of their stocking stuffers, I am sure women would love to get anything MAC – Mac Pink Noveau most especially. I have been seeing this lipstick a lot lately and I was tempted to get it myself but am not quite sure if it would suit me. I got a similar shade from the Body Shop and so far nobody has ever said it didn’t look nice on me.
So maybe I can afford to get this by Christmas?
The problem with me is I am a woman who loves everything – I love gadgets. I want an iPad or the new Samsung phone and am familiar with the new cameras and SLRs in the market. Yet, I am a woman who also loves bags, clothes, shoes and make-up. So every time MAC releases limited edition make-up, I always end up in big trouble.
This is exactly how I feel about the Wonder Woman Collection coming out in Spring 2011.
The line will include false lashes ($14), and a brush set with its own metallic utility belt ($49.50), as well as the standard lipsticks, mascaras, nail polishes and eyeliners.
Similar to last year’s Warm & Cozy Collection, the upcoming Cham-Pale collection from MAC is packed with tons of pretty neutrals and nudes. Must get the Fix+ Lavender, Caviar Dreams Eyeshadow Quad and Lipgelees! You might need to forego buying that rackmount for these limited edition collection!
US Launch Date: December 26th, 2010
Bleached or stridently bold brows. Skin that’s under-refined yet ultra alive. A bare lip and lash. Summer’s nude face is about grooming on the verge of grunge – tough, urban and sensually androgynous. She doesn’t care a lot, but she cares enough. Think shine-enhancing textures for a skincare-effect makeup that’s hydrated and bathed in light…
Cham Pale is a cuvée colour collection that’s cause for celebration – a Champagne smash, shimmering with all the bubbly optimism and golden glow of the best that’s yet to be, in eye shadow from Brule to Et Tu, Bouquet?; Paint pots in Chilled on Ice and Let Me Pop; Lipstick in four shades, especially Quiet Please and Flustered; Lipgelée from Bubble Lounge to Straight to the Head; two Chromographic Pencils (NC15/NW20 and NW25/NC30); Eye Kohl in I Get No Kick; Kohl Power in Feline; ?Nail Lacquer? we call Very Important Platinum!; Studio Fix mascara and new ?Special Reserve Highlight Powder? in four shades ending perfectly elegantly in everyone’s favorite: Rosé Olé. All, for every skin tone. To us!
* Flustered – Frosted, pale bronze (Frost) (Limited Edition)
* Quiet, Please – Sheer frosty pale beige (Lustre) (Limited Edition) (Repromote from Red She Said Collection)

While a cigar from the smoke shop would surely please any men who loves a cigar, make-up will surely please any women who love wearing it. I am on the hunt for the perfect red make-up – and it has boiled down to two. I would need your recommendations here, what should I buy?
The new Rouge Pur Couture lipstick from YSL:
Or MAC’s reliable beauty – Russian Red:
Who wouldn’t want to be as smoking hot as Gwen?
I used to switch spelling Mac (computers) with MAC (make-up). Apparently, it all depends on the capitalization of the three initials. I love them both – swear by the quality of both products but Industrial computers are no match to the ferociousness of these beauties – of course you know I am only joking.
The collection is in three parts: Burmese Beauty (netural–some shades can work on warm or cool undertones), Palace Pedigreed (cooler undertones), and Leopard Luxe (warmer undertones).
The collection debuted last August 26th. You can see the list of items per collection with corresponding prices here, but here is a pallette for you to see:
As if the Disney Princesses were commercialized enough, Disney grants MAC access to use its memorable villains for a limited edition make-up line, debuting on September 30th, with prices ranging from $12 to $29.50.
The series of products include lipstick, pressed powder, lip gloss, blush, etc.
The line is called Venomous Villains -
There will be a total of 40 bold hues in the collection, consisting of lipstick, powder, lip gloss and blush shades, ranging in price from $12 to $29.50, and divided into four collections emblazoned with the characters’ images.
Disney gave us the colors used when these characters were drawn throughout their history,” said Jennifer Balbier, vice president of product development for MAC, noting that Cruella and the Evil Queen share more “real woman” shades, such as red lips and peachy blush. Maleficent is “pure fantasy,” said Balbier, noting that offbeat purples, blackened shades and pearlized nails were used. Dr. Facilier headlines the new Magically Cool Liquid Powders. “This is a featherlight powder that goes on like a mist and either sets or enhances foundation, but also lends dimensionality on naked skin,” said Balbier.
I am thinking this will be a very dark and rich make-up line, don’t you think so?
Do you want to have sun-kissed skin?
I think it’s first time MAC steered away from their usual packaging too – very attractive:
