According to NARS:

The Summer 2011 collection is a range of warm, sophisticated, shimmering shades, punctuated with shots of vivid, nature-defying color. Eyes are washed in icy sea foam, silver-green and frozen turquoise. Lips are infused with mandarin orange gloss and hot pink matte color. The look is finished with nails in bold sunflower yellow or matte opaque white for a modern, edgy effect that’s strictly NARS.

M.A.C. and DC Comics come the to rescue!

Bloggers and M.A.C. addicts alike have been buzzing over the next major collection being released by M.A.C. They have paired up with DC Comics in a tribute to the first female superhero, Wonder Woman.

The Wonder Woman collection comes in special packaging and is of course limited edition.  The collection debuts in stores on February 10 in North America, online about February 8th, and internationally in March.  This is a massive collection and includes makeup bags, mirrors, LE brushes and I have even heard of a t-shirt (which would be super cool to get!!).  One thing to note:  The prices of these products are slightly elevated and probably is due to paying for the licensing of the Wonder Woman character.   Many M.A.C. stores are having unveiling parties next week, so check your local store to get on the list.  Some colours are part of the permanent collection, so you can save some money if you don’t care for the packaging.

As a kid, I was a fan of the comic books and the TV series featuring Lynda Carter.  Most of the chatter surrounds the packaging, some folks love, some folks don’t.  I have to wait to see what it looks like in person.  All information and photos courtesy of Specktra.

this palette is PERMANENT!

No need to sell your soul or anything.  Urban Decay has been having a hard time keeping this item in stock, sold out online or at Sephora.  So what’s so special about this palette?
