Pucker up … it’s time for an orange crush

As I’ve said before, I’m loving pink lipstick these days. But with warm days finally here, I’m looking forward to changing things up a bit and reaching for orange lipstick. Not clown orange. Something softer or maybe a little sheer.

So an item about orange lipstick from Fashion Week Daily got my attention. FWD is crushing orange, too. Whether you choose coral shades or a true tangerine, there are plenty of shades available. FWD suggested MAC lipstick in Vegas Volt, Meltdown and So Chaud.

See you at the MAC counter.

MAC and Hello Kitty team up for “purr-fect” makeup collection

MAC and Hello Kitty may seem an unlikely pair, but it works “purr-fectly.” The new, limited-edition MAC Hello Kitty Colour Collection takes its cue from the fantastical world of Hello Kitty and the glamour of the spring fashon shows. The collection feaures plush pinks, rich purples, turquoise for a bit of extra pop, lipsticks and lashes.

MAC delivers six playful lipstick shades with six Lipglass glosses, two tinted lip conditioners and two punchy eye squads that can be accented with reflective glitter and glitter eye liners. Beauty Powder Blush in six shades of pink and peach give a demure, rosy flush. And let’s not forget about the pepto-pink, modern gray and creamy white nail lacquers. What fun.

No self-respecting Hello Kitty fan would go out without a cosmetic case and acessories. There are makup bags, a vanity case, brush collection, purse mirror, mirrored key clip, beaded bracelet, even a Hello Kitty plush doll.

The collection will be available for a limited time, beginning Thursday.

Let MAC dazzle you with its new mascara

MAC is ready to dazzle you with its newest mascara.

Dazzle Lash features a new smaller brush that separates each lash. The spring loaded attachment keeps each brush fiber separated to prevent clumping while providing plenty of volume and lift.

The cost: $12. This mascara, available in Black Dazzle and Star Brunette, is a permanent addition to the MAC lineup.

MAC attack

New from MAC: Neo Sci-Fi lipstick, lip gloss, eyeshadow, powder blush and nail polish.

The limited-edition collection shocks the senses with fluorescents, as well as more modern buffs, beiges and flesh tones. Packaging is neon orange, just to get your attention, but there’s plenty of softer shades to tempt the eyes — and the lips and the cheeks.

One that looks especially pretty is Neo Sci-Fi Tinted Lipglass in Pink Grapefruit, a soft orange with gold pearl.
