Gosh golly, gee.. where the hell have I been? Well, I’m currently entering into a new editorial position at work, so I’ve been training and when I get home, all I feel like doing is diving into a big bowl of Moose Tracks ice cream and watching Marilyn Monroe flicks. Here I am, taking a look at what is new in the world of beauty and WOO-HOO! MAC unsurprisingly has three product launches while I am absent from blogging. Should we be excited? Take a look for yourself!
Prêt-à-Papier
MAC says: Craft-paper couture – an inspired idea cut like a pattern and whipped up into a seamless spectrum of parchment-to-vellum beiges with an occasional, clever colour spill, coral among the most au courant. Avec Prêt-à-Papier, a new couture star is born!
Loving the mannequin model in this ad. The skin color is a bit strange and post mortem for my taste. Within the line are neutral shadows, but bolder lips and cheeks come into play. Love the whole “dressmaker” and “seamstress” themes running throughout the titles.

Bamboo : A light golden beige with peachy undertones (Matte)
Tissueweight: Frosted pale peach (Limited)
Cut to Fit: Frosted red bronze (Limited)

Paint Pot
These are creamy, highly pigmented colors especially for the eyes. Some people use them as eyeshadow primers, but I haven’t had much luck doing so with oily lids.

Impeccable Brow Pencil – I personally LOVE this pencil.
Other Spring MAC Collections:
Art Supplies: Includes beautiful shades of eyeliners and greasepaint sticks.. but I really want to try the Pro Longwear Lipstain Marker!!
Prep for Colour: This small collection includes a nice range of deep hues for the eyes and a stunning lipglass called Just Add Colour.
The countdown is on! This next collection, which is probably my favorite in this Colour Forecast collection, is CORAL. I’ve always been a huge fan of coral, my bridesmaid dresses are coral, wedding colors are coral … I’m pretty obsessed. Needless to say.. I want EVERYTHING in this collection.

As I am still pondering the possibilities of a New Year’s Eve makeup tutorial look (I’m thinking lots of sparkly stuff), I came across a new MAC Cosmetics collection list, and some of this stuff looks pretty cool.
For the mascara fans, MAC has a new one called Studio Fix Lash Mascara! ($13) The wand looks a lot like the Cover Girl Lash Blast Length wand, dontcha think? I can’t get a good enough look at the puny pic, but I want to check this one out in person for sure.
Love Lace
I looooove lace. Obviously MAC loooves lace, too. The new MAC Love Lace collection is all about muted blues, whites, a nude lip with some type of black lacey clothing or accessory to compliment it. About 4 or 5 years ago, I attended a MAC pro demonstration on how to apply lace to the eyes with lash glue. It was quite cool, but when I tried it at home, the lace hurt my eyes.. I guess I’ll have to try it again. Experiement around with it, it’s really easy to apply, just getting used to feeling it on your skin is the hard part.
MAC Love Lace Limited Edition Color:
Eyeshadow: Pincurl a dusty white frost , Hypnotizing greyed mauve frost, Love Lace a frosted mid-tone grey/blue (Veluxe Pearl), Suave Intentions a light frosted silver blue.
Eyeliner: Sense of Style a black marine blue, Raven an intense red with black pearl.
Lipstick: Intricate a frosty cool icey taupe.
Lipglass: Icescape a sheer pale pink with pink pearl, Utterly Discrete a sheer frosted cool icy mauve.
Nail Lacquer: Light Affair a creamy pale grey taupe.
