I Want Fuchsia Now!

As the snow is falling and I am dreaming of my favorite bright pink Hibiscus flowers, this collection comes at the perfect time. Fuchsia Now is the epitome of Spring, and it is just out from Estee Lauder. Featuring both brights paired down with neutrals, this is one I cannot wait to get my fingers on.

"Fuchsia Now contrasts light and bright, pairing warm honey and tender peach shades with vibrant fuchsia for a look that is flattering for every skin tone."

The DIVINE Dame Edna for MAC.

Yes, I know I just told you about the Dame Edna Collection for MAC that just came out, but I need to tell you just a bit more about it. The products themselves are spectacular - just like MAC's Shadows, Powders, Lipsticks and Glosses always are. But the packaging is unbelievably cool. Very special and collectible. Even the outer cartons are. Here are a few pictures from what I have in the collection.

Did you notice how unbelievably gorgeous that High-Light Powder is? The shade name is Spectacle! and it is the most beautiful highlighter powder I think there ever was. Christina (of Christina Loves and Crazy About Cosmetics) and I were chatting it up today and she mentioned how beautiful this powder is and... my gosh. She is so right (isn't she always?).

If you have a chance, you will be really surprised at how beautiful the shades in this gathering are. Check out Dame Edna for MAC online or at your favorite counter soon, as I don't think this one is going to last long.

BTW - if you want to see a super cute video review of the Dame Edna collection, then you must head on over to makeupbag.net to see Erika's daughter in all her Dame Edna glory. Precious!
