Barbie - THE Beauty Icon.

barbie.jpgI don't care what anyone says, but Barbie is a beauty icon.  She has been around for a little longer than I have, and she is still going strong today. Forget about her fab figure, just look at her and how she has represented the decades in beauty and fashion. An icon she is. And guess who has teamed up with MAC for their latest Spring Collection? No other than MAC Cosmetics. The collection will be available on February 15th -so get you credit cards ready.

The collection is beautiful, and the packaging will definitely be a favorite among collectors. The colors are so reminiscent of Barbie - both the Caucasian and African-American models. The pinks are amazing, my friends. And I, for one, love pink and can't wait to be wearing a lot of it.

Back to MAC - Formal Black, that is.

/

I have been using a few of the new goodies from MAC's Holiday Collection.

mac_holiday_lips.jpgI am totally in love with the Fishnet Warm Lip Collection.

It features two pearly glosses - Peach Lame and By Moonlight - the type that look great over just about any lip color, and 4 lipsticks. The lipstick colors range from Fetish, a deep brown with a copper shimmer-like seen, to Expensivo, a very light pearly nude color - the perfect nude lip color, in my opinion. Mellowarm, a pure coral, and So Romantic, a medium silvery finished pink, round out the palette.

 

 

mac_holiday_eyes.jpgThe other palette that no one - do you hear me - no one should be without is the Velvet 6 Smoked Eyes palette.

Don't be frightened by the dark shades and high amount of sparkle that appears in the shades in person. I was sort of scared when I first saw them, but they go on like a dream. The shades, Malt, Vex, Club, Black Tied, Satin Taupe and Gentle Fume, are the perfect shades to create the ultimate, deep and dark, super hot, smoky eye. I am totally addicted to using Malt, Vex, and Satin Taupe with a touch of Club for a brown smoky look and using Malt, Black Tied and Gentle Fume for a rich black and gray smoky look. The variations are possibly endless. Get one before it sells out!

 

Once again, MAC did not dissapoint, and you really can't go wrong with any of the palettes they premiered. There is something for everyone based on coloring and favorites. These two just happen to be my faves!
