M·A·C Turquatic.

Not a fan of fragrance, I do get drawn to ocean and sea created scents.  I don't know if it is that I force myself to like them as I love the beach so much, or maybe it is the fact that I really do like the gentle notes in the fragrance that represent the sea. Either way, I am definitely intrigued by this new one from MAC called Turquatic.

Modern girls (and boys) who like to make waves, the ones who’ve become addicted to Turquatic, M·A·C’s sensual sea-spray of a fragrance, bracing with Anemone, Lotus, Orris, and a curious waft of Corsican Blue Cedar from the shore, will love this: we’ve completely recreated and expanded the look of Turquatic with new, evocative packaging to satisfy that legion of mesmerizing mermaids who want more. Just look! A sleek NEW rollerball option, as well as the debut of our larger 50 ml size, artfully reimagined in glass and a folding carton to make it all the more chic. Like Botticelli’s “Birth of Venus,” Turquatic has become a NEW M·A·C Classic.   

The fragrance is described as crisp and energizing! A splash of clear, sparkling mineral water brought chilled through an infusion of fresh lotus leaves and Corsican cedrat, finished with a warm blend of anemone, orris and blue cedar.

The rollerball option is making me want this even more! Maybe there will be a fragrance in this years MAC Holiday 2011 collection.

TURQUATIC 20ML - $27.50

M·A·C Seasonally Supreme.

Here today and part of the permanent collection, M·A·C Seasonally Supreme is beautiful range of lipsticks in twelve new shades.

We said “Oui!” to the style-savvy world of Europe with our Euristocrats colour collections, and now we’ve set our sights on the Far East where fashion is a-boom!  It’s where the latest runway fads appear overnight to make their gotta-have-it debuts and where fashion addicts indulge their cravings with fierce cult-like fascination. Tokyo scenesters, Seoul trendies, Shanghai’s brand-conscious sophisto-chicks, all are contributing to make Asia a haute-pot that stylishly sizzles. To add to the frenzy: M·A·C’s new collection Sheen Supreme, a sweet and spicy palette of twelve cream-or-frost-finished shades that speaks to the region’s colour preferences in the fusion of Lipglass’ high-shine finish with the saturated colour of a Lipstick. Colour-customized, culturally tuned. What could be more Supreme?

I love the Sheen Supreme lipstick.  The vanilla scent, the rich pigmented colors, all with a high glossy sheen is what beckons for me.  I usually use lipgloss over lipstick for a sheen, whether I am going subtle or not.  This one of the very few lipsticks that I can use without a gloss and am continually happy with the result.

Here are the new colors in the collection.

M·A·C Colourizations Eye Shadow Duo Photos.

If you haven't had a chance to check out the MAC Colourizations Eye Shadow Duos yet, get them while they are hot. 

Like I said in my original post about the collection, I most often use two or three eye shadow shades in a look.  In the summer months though, I definitely keep it more simple and use probably two shades the most, and that is why I am loving these duos - and one of many reasons why you will love them too. I wonder what color combinations will be featured in this years MAC Holiday 2011 collection?

I was lucky enough to receive some of the Double Feature Duos, and have them front and center for you to look at too.

The Colourizations collection launched at Nordstrom July 29th, and is now available at all M·A·C locations and online at maccosmetics.com.
