Upcoming M.A.C. Collection: Posh Paradise

[twitter-follow screen_name=’NoireTropicalB’]

This collection comes out tomorrow, Sept 15th in the US and Canada and in October internationally.  It is already being sold online at maccosmetics.com as well as other online retailers, such as Nordstrom.

This is a limited edition collection featuring some classic items, paint pots and mattene lipsticks.  Needless to say, I will be ALL OVER this collection!  I love the versatility of the paintpots to be used as an eyeshadow base or as a cream eyeshadow.  I have one or two of the original Mattene lipsticks, so that I am anxious to see what this new batch has to offer.

NARS Cosmetics Concealers

NARS revamps its concealer line and adds some new shades to the darker end of the spectrum.  Take a look!

NARS Concealer boasts a lightweight, creamy texture enriched with Vitamin E for crease-resistant coverage that stays in place all day. Aside from new slim packaging, the formula will grow its shade range from a total of six shades to ten to help achieve a NARS Immaculate Complexion. Whether applied to camouflage darkness under the eyes or to reduce the appearance of redness and skin imperfections, the new range reaches a broader scope of skintones and is targeted to more closely match NARS’ Sheer Matte & Sheer Glow Foundation shades.  Apply with a brush for even application and precise spot coverage.
