What Are the Numbers Behind MAC Tabloid Beauty?

March 9th, 2010 by Crystal

Don’t you hate it when beauty brands make exaggerated claims that never seem to have enough proof and do what they say? How big would your lashes look if they were volumized by 400% anyway? In my opinion, that would be too much!

Not all companies cushion their advertisements beyond belief though. Take MAC Cosmetics for example, their new Tabloid Beauty Collection doesn’t seem too outrageous. In fact, the numbers seems downright reasonable!

MAC Prep + Prime Skin Refined Zone ($19.50 US): Primers nowadays aren’t just for smoothing your skin to prep it for foundation. For example, this one has mattifying properties and helps disguise pores by 37%.

February 25th, 2010 by Lilan

I’m totally a Cyndi.

Well, I want to be her anyway. She’s old school, timeless, yet still contemporary, and oh-so-sassy!

From the “From Our Lips” Collection and one of two new limited edition Viva Glam lipsticks benefiting the MAC AIDS Fund to support the fight against HIV/AIDS, Viva Glam Cyndi ($14 US) is a reddish coral that’s surprising wearable despite the bold red exterior.

If you’re a sucker for MAC’s limited edition items, you’ll want to get your hands on these.

A Riveting FOTD.. MAC Riveting, That Is

February 17th, 2010 by Lilan

Even though I’m not a fan of Valentine’s Day – who needs just one day to declare love to that special someone in your life. Or be reminded that we’re not attached whether we like it or not.

But over the self-proclaimed most romantic holiday, even I like to wear hot pinks or reds.. because any excuse is a good excuse to do so

This year, the Boyfriend surprised me with tickets to go see another Cirque du Soleil’s OVO show since we enjoyed KOOZA so much a couple of weeks ago. So I decided to surprise him with a bold, fuchsia lippie that he actually liked!

MAC Riveting collection hits counters and boutiques this week and pays homage to the classic rocker chick with shades of metallic pewters and silvers along with the hottest of pinks and fuchsia.

I was lucky enough to preview a couple of items from the collection but for my Valentine’s Day look, I skipped over the metal shades for the girly stuff.
