MAC & Disney Collaborates on Venomous Villains Collection

by / blog, Miscellaneous / 0 comments

I normally do not do posts that advertise upcoming collections, but there is an overwhelming buzz about this one.

Women’s Wear Daily (WWD) has officially announced (so has MAC) that MAC Cosmetics, in collaboration with Disney, will release the Venomous Villains Collection in September.

From WWD:

MAC Cosmetics is teaming up with Disney to create a limited edition color collection, intended to launch globally in late September in all MAC locations. The products will feature four Disney characters, on which the brand is keeping mum at the moment — although with a collection name of Venomous Villains, it is assumed that we’re not talking Donald Duck and Minnie Mouse here. Lipstick, powder, lip gloss and blush shades will be sold, ranging in price from $12 to $29.50.

 

In the mean time, checkout my purchases from the To The Beach Collection.

 

I’m curious to know who will run out to pick this up?

Haul: MAC To The Beach Collection & Look

by / blog, Hauls, Makeup Looks, Product Swatches / 17 Comments

I went to the MAC boutique on Montague street for the preview of the To The Beach Collection, which was sponsored by Ciroq.  It started at 7pm.  They had us standing outside in the rain until a few minutes after 7pm.  It was extremely packed, so I was in and out.  I swatched, made my purchase & bounced.

This collection debuts in-store on May 27th, 2010 in the U.S./Canada. 

 I did a video haul CLICK HERE to watch.
