MAC Magnetic Nude Collection.

This new collection from MAC had me at the little four letter word NUDE. I am obsessed with all of the nude collections, and this Magnetic Nude collection is no exception; it is gorgeous with metallic nudes that couldn't be more perfect for winter.

Glimmering metallics and natural nudes redefine winter opulence.  Skin is radiant with Extra Dimension Skinfinish. Smoky eyes get a metal effect, shaded with vibrant Extra Dimension Eye Shadow. Fluidline shines with a steely touch, while Opulash provides a powerful finish. Flushed nudes in Extra Dimension Blush, Lipstick and Lipglass are subtle yet sexy, for a look that’s naturally magnetic.

I know a lot of you are probably all over the Extra Dimension Skinfinishes, but I highly suggest you go for the Extra Dimension Eye Shadow from this collection. They glide on like silk on the eye and look and feel like liquid metal. I love the shades, with A Natural Flirt and Sweet Heat, the shades I received, definite must haves. I have been wearing them a lot. A Natural Flirt is the ultimate highlighting shade and the perfect shade to dab into the inner corner of your eyes for the ultimate pick me up look.

For lips, I can't get enough of the Overspiced Lipglass. It is the most beautiful natural nude coral shade. I also want to check out A Quiet Roar, the lightest of the glosses.

Great Gifts: MAC Stroke of Midnight Warm Eye Palette.

The MAC Stroke of Midnight Eye Palette in the warm shades is a pretty universal palette that makes a great gift for any makeup loving gal. I love the sleek packaging of the palette and the fact that there are five shades to blend for a multitude of eye looks as well.

The shades:

• Femme Fi
• Amber Lights
• Socialite
• Mulch
• Midnight Hour

Like all of MAC shadows, the highly pigmented powder formula applies evenly, blends and builds beautifully.

The MAC Stroke of Midnight Warm Eye Palette retails for $39.50 and is available at all MAC locations and maccosmetics.com now.

The packaging is stunning in white pearl with rose gold detailing. The eye palettes are divine. I have been using Phresh Out, a mix of rose golds to brown from light to dark. I've never met a bronzing powder I didn't love, and Love, Rihanna is gorgeous as well. It imparts a beautiful bronze gold look to the cheeks. It is subtle on it's own and enough on my pale complexion. The makeup bag immediately went into my handbag because it is so chic. It is a quilted bag in a beautiful rose gold. It is the perfect size and very sturdy; it holds everything I need it to as well.
