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.

I have heard great reviews about NARS blushes that I am saving for one soon. As the Style Doctor aptly said, “Even if you’re a beauty on a budget, set aside $5 a week for a month and when the end of the month comes at least walk out with Orgasm, the line’s award winning shade that looks good on damn near everybody whether you’re Nicole Kidman or Alek Wek.” It is true, a $60 cream can last 6 months, works wonders and if you think about, will only cost you $10 a month. Imagine how many frapuccinos you consume a month and you get my meaning of priorities.
I love make-up. If I can have the chance, I would enroll in a beauty school like Regency Beauty Institute, a cosmetology school in Phoenix, so I can really learn the basics.

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:
I am very intrigued with the new Rogue Volupte Lipsticks. I have been looking for new shades as my current stocks are running out and this time I am going to be going back to my favorites: browns and deep reds!
Reviews say they are so incredibly creamy and glossy plus come in shades for everybody no matter your skin tone or age. Though the $34 price tag may make some insane, it’s a nice little treat for lipstick lovers all over.
I got my eye on Sweet Honey, Red Temptation and Ultimate Beige!
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?
My sister told me about this product after she saw my aunts going crazy over it. She swears there were REAL results, meaning the lashes really grew longer. It is sold in most department stores you might want to try it. I did my own research (you can learn anything online, even the recommendation for the best fat burner!) and here is what I came up with:
L’Oreal 24-Hour Lash Boosting Power System promises bigger lashes in 4 weeks. For day, use the 2-Step Mascara with Lash Boosting Primer. For night, use the Concentrated Lash Boosting Serum. Day after day lashes appear longer, thicker, and multiplied. Night by night, lash health improves: fortified, nourished, strengthened.
Do you want to have sun-kissed skin?
I think it’s first time MAC steered away from their usual packaging too – very attractive:
