I am loving this collection. The products and packaging do not disappoint. I love the boxes, especially the little red lip kiss on the inside.

Lipsticks in rapturous reds, gleaming Dazzleglass, a dramatic 35 Lash, False Lashes Extreme Black and Eye Shadows in shimmering metallic and diamond tones provide silver-screen allure.

Fall 2012: M·A·C Face and Body.

September 27, 2012/

One of my very first M·A·C foundations was Face and Body Foundation. I love the light and liquid texture. I could never wear it one it's own, because I need more coverage than that. But, I would use that and then Studio Fix Powder over it and my face was perfect. Anyway, it is a wonderful water based formula that is one of the best I have ever used. M·A·C actually has an entire line up of shades just for beautifying, contouring and perfecting the face; it is the new and updated Face and Body.

The collection includes the Face and Body Foundation shades, four new Pro Sculpting Creams and how exciting is this, Pressed Pigments!

Three formulas: Face and Body Foundation’s water-based, anti-oxidant-rich liquid goes on smoothly for up to 8 hours of natural-looking wear. Pro Sculpting Cream, in two original and four new limited-edition shades, creates dimension and definition using natural tones. Lightweight, soothing and vitamin-rich. New Pressed Pigment in six, limited-edition, pearlescent shades are creamy and highly concentrated. Apply dry for a subtle and sophisticated translucent finish or wet for high-shine, dramatic dimension.

M·A·C Face and Body

Face and Body Foundtion - $27.00
C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, N1, N2, N3, N5, N7, N9

Brushes

215 - Medium Shader - $25.00
163 Flat Contour - $35.00

Pressed Pigment - $21.00

Light Touch - High pearl powder in W10
Warming Heart - High pearl powder in NW20
Day Gleam - High pearl powder in NC30
Spot Lit - High pearl powder in NW35
Beaming - High pearl powder in NC50
Deeply Dashing - High pearl powder in NW55

Pro Sculpting Cream - $20.00

Accentuate - Peachy beige
Naturally Defined - Warm beige
Pure Sculpture - Neutral pink beige
Copper Beech - Warm golden brown
Coffee Walnut - Deep dirty, cool brown
Richly Honed - Warm deep brown

The Pressed Pigments are beautiful for highlighting the skin. I use Day Gleam, which is NC 30; my perfect foundation shade color.

MAC Pressed Pigment Day Gleam

I like to apply this with my index finger and do some quick and swift blending. I apply it right beneath my brow bone and then on the very tops of my cheekbones, like I would any highlighter. It starts off very sparkly, but looks beautiful and actually more subtle than one would think after my face is totally blended.

The shade Spot Lit is also beautiful, in a warmer, more pink tone.

Fall 2012: M·A·C Office Hours.

September 21, 2012/

The latest in fall launches from M·A·C is Office Hours. It is a beautiful collection full of new Pro Longwear shades for the eyes, cheeks and lips. These beauties will last as long as a day at the office.

She’s a glamorous go-getter with a real head for business and beauty who loves M·A·C Pro Longwear — advanced products that set the standard for enduring colour. With a base of SPF 10 Foundation and Concealer, Pro Longwear Blush lasts for eight hours with a weightless, bright natural finish. Creamy-smooth Pro Longwear Eye Shadow in new soft and dramatic colours brings superior depth and dimension, and Pro Longwear Lipglass shines from Persistent Peach to Everlasting Nude.

Before I show you the products, I have to post the images from the collection. They are too cute. The desk drawer is like a dream, isn't it?
