Debuts in US and Canadian stores and counters on 7 April and later on in April internationally.  I also think that these are going to be added to the permanent line.

The all-bronze, all-the-time trend is ascending. High and low, Jersey Shore to Jakarta, it’s always sunny somewhere, and “orange” is officially over! M∙A∙C BRONZE EVERYDAY is reflecting the trend to be tan in all seasons, and it’s no accident that our Bronzing innovations are making it all that much more attractive…and easy. Great news: It’s back, for good…Skinsheen Leg Spray the long-wear gel/mousse body makeup that sheers on legs, arms, décolletage for a subtle golden glow. Water resistant three times over. Love your Lustre Drops? They’re back too, for that touch of chic luminosity, an ethereal glow wherever applied. Two new golden shades of Mineralize Skinfinish/Natural plus Mineralize Skinfinish and Bronzing Powders complete the collection, making M∙A∙C all about one-stop Bronzing.

BECCA brings beautiful skin!

Hey!

Today I’m going to review the Aussie cosmetics line BECCA.  I was first introduced to this line years ago when they were sold at Bergdorf Goodman in NYC.  What initially attracted me to this line, was the array of foundation colours! I literally did a double take, an Australian line, with a pretty extensive colour range? Whaaaaaat!

Then they kinda disappeared.  They were only available online.  Then sometime last year, I discovered that they reappeared at some of the rebranded Duane Reade pharmacies.

So here is a little background on the brand.  According to the website:

“The whole philosophy of BECCA is about creating a natural, flawless look. It’s really about skin looking amazing – everything else is secondary.”
– Rebecca Morrice Williams, Founder

So they’re really into flawless skin for people of ALL races, ethnicities, ages and they really focus on perfecting the skin.  Their 3-step system consists of Preparing, Perfecting and Setting.  Their products contain antioxidants vitamins, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, also advanced pigment technology (for a weightless, natural finish) and broad spectrum SPF.  They have this beachy, barely-there, easy-going vibe that I like.

I have tested out 4 products.

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.
