Spring 2013: M∙A∙C Baking Beauties.

I love a pastel look for spring and all of these new "beauties" from M∙A∙C definitely fill the need. What could be cuter than a collection based on my favorite sweet, the cupcake? Nothing, really. This is M∙A∙C Baking Beauties.

M·A·C loves everything about a cupcake. Face Powder arrives in exclusively designed cupcake patterns, and Lustre Drops create a luminous finish. Pro Longwear Paint Pots add a touch of dazzle. Haute & Naughty Lash delivers two-in-one coverage. Lipstick lays it on soft and tempting in tones including Devil’s Food and Raspberry Swirl. Mineralize Tinted Lip Balm provides nutrient-rich moisture. Nail Lacquer decorates in glittering Bleu Velvet and Pistachio Crème. And for professional results, two limited-edition brushes with pastel accents. Hello, cupcake!

I seriously can't get enough of the products or the names. Like I said in my favorite cream eyeshadow post, I love the pretty Pro Long Wear Paint Pots in this collection. They create the softest yet sparkly perfect eye for spring. The star products of the collection have to be the Pearlmatte Face Powders though. Just look at them! They are beautiful and either warm up the face in subtle glow of champagne and coral or pink and silver.
