I swear, nobody does beauty like MAC! There is no other beauty line that I know of that is cranking out the collections the way MAC does. That can be both a good and bad thing: Good because, come on, who doesn't love new makeup? And good because it keeps MAC Cosmetics at the forefront of the minds of all us fickle beauty lovers. But bad for my pocketbook and bad because sometimes I feel that I haven't really gotten to appreciate the previous collection before the new one is out! Y'all feel me?
Well, it's clear that MAC does not agree with my bad points because the newest collection is out - while the Holiday collections are still on shelves! MAC's latest collection is the Monogram Collection and it looks fierce as all hell! Check it out!
The packaging alone is enough to give me fever. The sumptuous reds and golds look so elegant and swanky, lovely ones. I must have these products, particularly the lipsticks and lipglasses. The below is from MAC's PR release. My lemmings will be italicized.
Mongram Lipstick: This luxury formula is smooth and rich. Silky lipstick that glides on with ease for medium buildable to full coverage with satiny shine. Lips feel soft and look rich and lustrous. When paired with the Monogram Lipgloss, the look is high shine and multi-dimensional.
I want all of them! Monogram Lipgloss: High shine, super sheer lipgloss provides comfort and cushion. Lips feel soft and look lustrous. Brilliant gold sparkle flecks give a lustrous effect. A patent leather slick of shine; beautiful alone or paired with Monogram Lipstick. I want all of them! Sheerspark Pressed Powder: A new shimmer powder for both eye and cheek. Sheer Mystery Powder: An ultra-fine, super sheer and very sophisticated pressed powder. "Mysteriously" silky soft in texture, glides on to give skin a velvety matte, slightly luminous and altogether flawless finish. Monogram Air of Style. Two 15 mL Air of Style fragrance bottles elegantly paired in one faux patent pouch. Top Note: White pepper, dried red dates, wild peonies. Middle Notes: Tuberose, orange blossom, jasmin, ylang-ylang, orris. Bottom Note: Touch of leather, antique woods, vetiver, amber crystals, tonka beans The collection also includes a special edition powder/blush brush and a Monogram clutch. LOALers, this stuff is gonna go fast - I can already tell! As it is, y'all are gonna have to beat me to the store! The MAC Monogram Collection is available November 26th!
Bought 2 pieces today - Sheer powder and lipstick in status symbol to try things out. Must have more lipstick.
