Another collaboration of fashion and beauty emerges from MAC Cosmetics with their new mini collection of pigments, glosses and polishes inspired by fashion brand Alice + Olivia.

I’m not much of a pigment-wearing girl so the three new shades of Dazzleglass Creme ($18 US) really caught my eye.  When I think of Dazzleglass, I think of bling and shine but a couple of these Creme versions are anything but.

From top to bottom:

I.Want.Candy, a canary yellow with subtle shimmer.  I couldn’t wear this one alone but imagine it would be a fun one to mix and match to create new shades.

If It’s Pink, a bold blue pink that’s not the most unique.  Unless you’re a collector of these special collaborative collections, I would pass on this shade.

Sparklicious, a creamy pale pink packed with the shimmer you’ve come to know and love from the Dazzleglass formula.

I like Sparklicious to dab atop other lip glosses and lipsticks to create that extra luscious lip look.  Maybe that’s where this shade got its name! 

MAC alice + olivia collection is available nationwide at a MAC counter near you and online now.

Feeling inspired by Crystal’s sweet, sun-flushed look in her MAC To the Beach FOTD last week, I felt compelled to check out the collection and create my own pretty, pink look.

I love the beautiful To The Beach Eye Shadow shades of the tropics – peaches, mossy blues and greens – but I hardly have the time to construct a colorful look that doesn’t look like a little girl playing with mom’s makeup 

Instead, I reached for To The Beach Eye Kohl ($14.50 US) in Float on By, a beautiful turquoise teal.

The soft pencil glides easily on the lashline and has the longevity to stay put.  But is also soft enough to smudge for a sultry look suited for the beach – I just love it.

To off-set the bright eyes, wear a understated coral blush like To The Beach Powder Blush ($18.50 US) in Hipness (repromote).  It’s soft but still makes an impact for the hot summer season.

I finished my look with a healthy dose of To The Beach Tinted Lipglass ($14 US) in Splashing, a light pink with a very subtle golden shimmer.

The blue undertones in Splashing really helped to bring out the teal of my liner.  I added a sweep of MAC Shell Pearl Beauty Powder for a glowing sheen.

MAC To the Beach collection is on counters now.  What have you picked up to create your summer looks?  Tell us what your favorite combos are!

Summer makeup is coming out to play, are you going to join in on the fun? If you haven’t already, take a look at the MAC To the Beach collection for an inspirational insight into what’s coming your way this season.

Bronze skin, coral cheeks, and bright lips are some of the trends I spy already, so that’s what today’s look is going to be all about.

Calling the MAC High-Light Powder in Marine Life ($26 US) a highlighter shames this little seahorse, it’s simply too bold and pigmented! Behind the mesmerizing gold overspray is a stunning coral that you can utilize as a highlighter or blush.

Intimidating in the pan only, the reddish coral part blends out seamlessly and the baby pink section keeps things fresh. In this specific look, I used Marine Life to warm up the cool undertones of the lipstick.

To add a refined touch, compliment your glowing cheeks with lovely pink lips. The MAC Lipstick in Lazy Day ($14 US) is a gorgeous milky, lavender pink that’s actually wearable on a variety of skin tones, not just lighter ones.

The moisturizing lustre finish glides onto the lips effortlessly, but manages to stay put for a good 4 hours at the least. Even though you can go for retro mod lips, the buildable coverage ensures that a sheerer application looks just as great.

Since the focus of this FOTD is concentrated in the cheeks and lips, the eyes are very subtle. I simply applied Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in R.S.V.P. ($19 US) over the eyelid and onto the lower lash line as a liner.

I’m in love with the eye brightening effect I get from this shimmery champagne color!
