80s glam collection Riveting arrived at counters late last week, and for the most part, it was not my cup of tea.
Very interestingly, Riveting "brings back" two pro blushes ($18.50): Full Fuchsia and Dirty Plum. In their original pro releases, Full Fuchsia was a Frost and Dirty Plum was a Matte. Now they're both
...Viva Glam products (lipsticks, glosses, holiday lip palettes) are one of the most visible components of MAC’s commitment to fight HIV/AIDS worldwide. Every cent of the selling price goes to the MAC AIDS fund, which gives grants to charitable organizations around the world (food banks, support centers, awareness programs, and more). So far, MAC has donated $150 million, making them the largest non-pharmaceutical

Victoria Beckham's show called for minimal makeup with maximum impact. Lancome artist Francelle delivered nude lips, metallic, silvery eyes and shimmery skin, "a modern take on 1930s Hollywood glamour."

I don't know about you, but I can't look at a face chart and understand what it's going to look like on a person. They are useful, though, for explaining exactly where to put each product. And I do love seeing pictures of runway makeup; even the "out there" stuff can inspire ideas you might use on

This spring sees another limited edition, nature conservation item from Chantecaille.

The mirrored compact contains four powder

One more MAC Sneak Peek, and it's a curiously small collection. Coming out on April 8th is a collection called Prep for Color. It includes
Art Supplies releases April 1, and sees the return of two widely popular products: Greasepaint Sticks and Pearlglide Eyeliners. All shades are new, and everything in the collection is limited edition.

As you've no doubt heard by now, MAC's new Viva Glam lipsticks are online and on counters (they released about a month early).
Cyndi (Cyndi Lauper) and Gaga (Lady Gaga) are both lustre formulas. Cyndi is a pretty, sheer, strawberry red; Gaga is a cool, pale pink. They're limited edition, but they'll be available for about a

Perhaps the most hotly anticipated collection from MAC this spring is "Liberty of London" (releasing March 11) —Â a collaboration with pattern-loving, flower-child, historic British department store, clothing-, and home-decor brand, Liberty & Co.
The collection is quite extensive, and though the makeup will be available at all counters, the accessories will be sold through MAC's freestanding stores

MAC collection Too Fabulous hits counters on March 4 — a focus on lips and cheeks.
We'll see six new shades of Cremesheen Glass, and three familiar favorites — all nine will join the permanent line ($18 each).
