WOW!!!  Look at these new Promo Pics from MAC….Gorgeous!!  And they are claiming to be using some really cool new technology, they are calling “water charged technology”.  They also say it has Vitamin C, green tea, and other free radical fighters in the formula.  (read the official blurb below for more info)  I honestly have no idea whether it works or not but I am loving the promotion for these products and the packaging is by far the best I have seen in at least two years.  Such a change from the norm: stark silver.  Yes you read right – stark silver.  Scroll down for pics of the products.  (and I really wanted to write this is in a great silver color but it didn’t work out, so this is what I came up with)

So what do my readers think?  You think this is gonna be worth the hype or do you think it’s just a total 180 from the Volcanic Ash Mask and other Volcanic Body Products?  Hmmm…


Ok I know I have been bombarding y’all with new information in the last few days.  Seems like MAC has a new release for every week of the year coming up.  However I am pondering the idea behind this one.  I dont really see the point.  Very few products and unless a bunch of new info comes out that shows some more things that are gonna blow my mind I can say I will skip this collection.  –  And that is VERY.UNLIKE.ME.

However this is just the prelim info.  Take a look and see for yourself what you think.  post any comments, I would love to hear them!

    I am totally gonna dive in on the grey quad, as you all know I can’t resist quads.   I think the fragrence I am totally gonna pass on as I don’t think there is a way to make patchouli smell clean.  As in, people think, man I don’t think she showered today.  And I definitely don’t want folks whispering that behind my back.
    MAC has tons coming out this Fall and it has me completely convinced that the reason is to bombard us with so many pretty things that our heads spin and we dont realize that we just spent the rent money on lipstick and eyeshadow.  We go, oh but it has sparkles in it!!  🙂
    EDIT***
    I have found a review and a more in depth description of the fragrance – lets see if it holds true:
    M.A.C Asphalt Flower Potion
    Price: $25 for 3 vials
    Description: Cast a spell with M.A.C Asphalt Flower Potion. Inside this sleek vial is a hypnotic blend of black violets, night-blooming jasmine, purple lilacs, raspberries and dense woody notes. These essences endure long into the night because of the high concentration of oils and absence of alcohol.

    This is such a HOT LOOK! Here are the instructions below:

    How To: Step 1) Apply

    How To:

    Step 1) Apply primer in a medium shade over eyelids and brow bone to clarify skin texture and tone with soft, fluffy brush: Prep+Prime Eye /
    252 Large Shader Brush

    Step 2) Begin by blending a mid-toned matte taupe/sepia eye shadow through the crease of the eye. Starting on the outer corner of the eyes and on the lower lash line, build the eye shadow gradually, defining the contour of the eyes with a light touch. This will enhance the natural shape of the eye with a subtle effect: Eye Shadow – Texture / 217 Blending Brush

    Step 3) Next, begin highlighting eyelids with a brighter tone of eye shadow. This could be opalescent or matte in texture. Use a brush that has a smaller, dense head. This will provide the necessary control when working with textures that shimmer especially: Eye Shadow – All That Glitters / 272 Small Angled Shader

    Step 4) Apply the highlighting eye shadow with a stronger intensity on the inner corner of eyelids, this will open up eyes without having to use much product: Eye Shadow – All That Glitters / 272 Small Angled Shader

    Step 5) Highlights may be add under brows, but should be kept matte, with little shine for the most natural appearance: Prep+Prime Eye / 239 Eye Shading Brush

    Step 6) Curl lashes to open up the eyes: Lash Curler

    Step 7) Apply one or two coats of mascara. The sculpted eye is beautiful in it’s simplicity, but paying close attention to details…such as lashes and brows, is imperative for a finished, polished effect: Plush Lash Mascara – Plushblack

    Step 8) Open up eyes further and make the eyes look more rounded by highlighting the lower lash line with a liner pencil: Eye Kohl – Powersurge

    Step 9) Groom brows with a brow pencil to fill in gaps: Eye Brows – Lingering

    Step 10) Apply brow gel to keep brow hairs in place and to create a polished look: Brow Set – Clear

    Step 11) Warm up the crease to add intensity by using a warmer eye shadow: Eye Shadow – Embark / 224 Tapered Blending Brush
