MAC Strobe.

Soft, white light. Strobe lights - those flashing white lights back in the day.

The lights might have been bright, but the look always became soft and diffused. MAC's newest collection Strobe plays with the light in a similar way, giving off a pearlescent, illuminating look.

 

Strobe Cream, Strobe Liquid or the Strobe Lips to lighten, brighten, and enhance - with light.

Strobe Cream uses the richest, sheerest blend of soft-focus diffusers for the face and neck. Strobe Liquid gives an instant radiance in fluid, light-diffusion form with iridescent pigment. The Tinted Lip Conditioner Stick SPF15 with strobe pearl, gives off an iridescent glow with soft color. All of these can be used under or over colours and textures to glow on and on and on…

 

Strobe launched on counters today, and you should snatch them up fast, as they are limited edition and look to be beautiful for Spring. For more info or to order, you can always visit maccosmetics.com as well. 

Sometimes, Seeing is Believing!

I was excited about the Fafi MAC Collection, sure. But from looking at the packaging and product photos, I really thought that most of the collection would not suit me. Boy was I wrong - I am loving this collection! The colors are a little brighter, yes, especially when comparing them to say the N Collection. But a little pop of color never hurt anyone. And these colors are gorgeous - and they are so getting me in the mood for Spring.

First, just look at the packaging. I am such a beauty geek, I swear. But packaging is sometimes what totally attracts me to a product. I am sure that I am not the only one who noticed that when you put some of the packages together, you get the total picture. Cool!

 

 

 

 

Then there is the shimmer in the products. I really love shimmer, especially when it is not overdone. 

 

 

 

The top photo is of the Iridescent Powder in Belightful, a beautiful light peachy gold, with lovely shimmer. Then there is the Eye Quad #1, which are all my colors, and yes, sheer and shimmery. And last, there are my three favorite lipglasses, Sugar Trance, Totally It, and Cult Fave. I have been wearing Sugar Trance all day and have received numerous compliments, which is always wonderful.

If you have not seen MAC Fafi in person, you really need to. But make sure you bring the money, because once you see it and believe how beautiful it is, there will be no stopping you buying it all.

MAC has come up with a little sister site for MAC Fafi, which you can visit at macfafi.com. It is fun to go behind the scenes there at a MAC press event and meet the artist herself.

All of the MAC Fafi products can be found at your favorite MAC counter or store, as well as maccosmetics.com. 

My daughter wants the little Fafinette dolls, so we will be sure to be checking those out, as well as the whole collection, this weekend.
