So M.A.C. has launched their M.A.C. Me Over contest and they are looking for 6 stylish, soulful persons to star in their worldwide colour campaign for Fall 2011!! Contest is open to U.S. residents from the 50 states and D.C. and runs through to December 20, 2010. Winners would earn a round trip to NYC and be made over by M.A.C. Pro Artists and shot by celebrity photographers.
Hey!
So I am finally getting around to using one of the new Makeup For Ever Metal Effect Powders in #2, Maize Gold. Brilliant burnished golden powder. I had no problems using this colour. Intense pigmentation, finely milled, easy to use. I paired it with one of the few matte pigments that I have, M.A.C. Smoke Signal from the Smoke Signals collection. It’s a deep, burgundy, shimmer-free colour. Quite original.
Anyway here’s the look…
Maize Gold
Major collection being released!!
Inspired by 4 of the most well- known villains in animated filmography, M.A.C. presents the Venomous Villains collection, in collaboration with Disney.

Each character comes with it’s own storyline, colour scheme/collection and limited edition packaging. An updated version of the colours used to create the characters. There are also face charts that accompany each collection. The packaging is glossy black with each character painted on in vivid colour.
The VV collection is huge, but fortunately quite a few of the products are repromotes or part of the permanent line. There are also a few new products like the Magically Cool Liquid Powder, which is part of the Maleficent collection. Of course the packaging is LE so that this will sell like hot bread on a Sunday morning!!! People have been buzzing about this since July so, uhmmm yeah, get it while you can.
Viva Glam Cyndi: lipglass (l), lipstick (r)
Here’s a quick swatch of both the VG Cyndi lipstick and lipglass. Very complimentary!!
It’s no secret that I love eye makeup. So many colours, combinations and possibilities!
I love using eyeliner. When paired with mascara, you have an instant look that works for all occasions. I have used all types of liner – pencil, gel, liquid, cake and powder, although right now my pencil/gel combination rules.
For their late summer/early fall collection, Fabulous Felines, M.A.C. introduced a new product called SuperSlick Liquid Eye Liner in a stunning 9 colours. These are touted as being long-lasting, super shiny, and water resistant.
As per the M.A.C. website:
A liquid liner so slick it almost describes itself. Water-based, water resistant, quick and precise to apply. Dries in 15 seconds to provide a sleek, longwearing, wet-look, no-smudge line. The superior no-fuss, no-wobble application lies in the “magic tip” of the easy-to-control dip-stick applicator.
The Packaging
Years ago, M.A.C. sold a liquid liner that came with a felt-tip, short wand applicator, with a thinner consistancy liquid. I think these were discontinued. The updated liquid liner comes in a long, sleek, pencil thin barrel container with a longer felt- tipped brush and wand applicator.
SuperSlick Liquid Eye Liner
The container reflects the colour of the liquid inside. The wand screws in and out of the container containing the liquid. I prefer this longer handle as I think its easier to control. The applicator comes to a fine point and allows you to get really close to the base of the lashes for the thinnest line. You could also use the wand on its side for a thicker line.
Super fine sponge-tipped. dip-stick applicator
I really like the packaging, I think it’s sleek.
