MAC Makeup

Last batch! Three of the four Lipsticks ($14.50 US/$17.50 CDN each) and three of the five Cremesheen Glasses ($18.50 US/$22 CDN) from the upcoming MAC Semi Precious Collection.

Maybe I’ve been hanging around Tabs too long, but for some reason I want to call Musky Amethyst Lipstick “Husky Amethyst” instead, LOL!

Super quick pictures and swatches of six of the 12 Mineralize Eye Shadows ($20 US/$24 CDN each) from the upcoming MAC Semi Precious Collection, which launches in North America on July 7 and internationally sometime in the same month.

Don’t they look like works of art? Unsurpassable reminds me of a Monet waterlily painting.

Rise and shine, morning glory! Today’s a big day. It’s the summer solstice here in the Northern Hemisphere, the official first day of summer. 🙂 That, and it’s also the day the new MAC Bloggers’ Obsessions Collection (and Evolution Revolution Lipglass!) debut on the MAC website.

For now, the nine items in the online-exclusive collection of Lipglasses and Eyeshadows are labeled “Coming Soon,” but that will change any minute (possibly around noon Eastern Time well, some time today the link is live now!). When it does, check out the MAC overview page for pics and video interviews of each of the bloggers featured in the collection and more backstage footage of the MAC Cosmetics Production Facility, complete with oh-so-rockin’ hairnets and safety glasses.

A few things about the collection…

• It’s only going to be available online, at least for now, which means it won’t be carried at MAC stores or counters.
• I’m told it will only be sold in North America (US and Canada), which bums me out immensely, but I’m hoping MAC reconsiders that decision. If you’re an international MAC fan, check MBB a little later today because I have something planned that might be of interest to you.
• Congrats to the gals who were able to sneak in under the radar and successfully purchase items through the MAC website last night (before today’s official release). That’s just cool.

Get ready for an Evolution Revolution… 🙂

Last batch of swatches — the four Eyeshadows from the MAC Bloggers’ Obsessions Collection. Can I just say that Tabs is mad as hell right now? I’ve been swatching all morning and haven’t taken him out for his usual walk, so he’s been biting my elbows and swiping my feet. Ah, to live with a diva kitty…

Eyeshadows from the left: Sparkle, Neely, Sparkle; Parisian Skies, Hocus Pocus and Jealousy Wakes

Lip swatches of the five Lipglasses from the MAC Bloggers’ Obsessions Collection. Please excuse the hair! I took the world’s fastest shower before taking these pics and have absolutely no idea what’s going on with the birds nest on top of my head.
