Enriched Gold—Green gold with red pigment
Little Pink—Pink with silver pigment

Release Date: November 11th, 2004

MAC’s collection “Fine ‘N Dandy” has some great options to enhance the first impression you make. The collection focuses on your lips and your scent. It also offers pigment options for those looking to change or enhance the hues of their skin tone.

Whether you prefer a lipstick or a lipglass, lusterglass or gloss, you’ll be able to find it in this collection. The colors range from a traditional soft pink to a bolder green/yellow with gold and silver enhancements.

This collection also includes some of MAC’s signature fragrances. I am most excited to try the MV2 fragrance. It is getting rave reviews. The warm, spicy vanilla scent is described as having a touch of lemon with it. It sounds like it is a very fresh scent and I am excited to try it. I just might have a new favorite. Check out the details of all this collection has to offer.

I also think the pigments look interesting. I am not the type to use pigments on an every day basis, but for a once in a while enhancement I think they are great. I think the color “Rose” could be really pretty on. I am excited to see if it works for me.

Long live glamorous with MAC’s new Viva Glam. It is a collection made up entirely of lipsticks so you can choose the color that makes you feel the most glamorous. Each lipstick shade sports the name of the collection from Viva Glam I to Viva Glam V. With five different shades to choose from, you are sure to find one that brings out the glam in you.

For those of us who like to mix it up with our lip color, there is the option of the Viva Glam Lip Palette. All five of the lipsticks come in this one palette. I might consider getting this so I don’t have to choose just one. My lip color choice tends to change as often as my mood. You never know when you will need something soft and elegant for the day time, but something a little more bold for the evening. Which color do you think will bring out your inner glam?

Lip Palette

Viva Glam Lip Palette—Viva Glam I, II, III, IV, V lipsticks

Lipsticks

Viva Glam I—Intense brownish blue-red, matte
Viva Glam II—Muted pinkish-beige with subtle shimmer, satin
Viva Glam III—Muted brownish-plum, matte
Viva Glam IV—A mid-tone frosted rose with a subtle gold sparkle, frost
Viva Glam V—A muted, mauve pink, lustre

Adorn yourself with beauty and be adored with MAC’s new collection Adorn. It is packed full of products, many of which are limited edition. The pigments, mascara, lip pencils, and the lipglass color Courting Rose are the only products that aren’t limited edition.

I’ve never tried any of MAC’s Shimmersouffles, but they look interesting. They are described as a light glittery powder to offer a sparkle effect. I think it would be a fun product to try for the winter time to give just a hint of shimmer to your holiday fun. Of all of the products offered, the one luckiest to carry the collection name is a shimmersouffle. That might say something. “Adorn” is light beige tan with glitter. I just might have to try it out.

I am not usually drawn to the nail lacquers, but there is something about “Violet Femme” that makes me want to try it. Maybe it is just the fact that the name is so powerful. Or maybe it is the purple amethyst color it promises. Either way, I think I am sufficiently sold on it.

There are five different eyeshadows offered in this collection. Honestly, none of them look that great to me. The colors are deep brownish red, bright purple, light tan, light greenish blue, and off-white. Maybe some of the colors will work well for some of you, but they aren’t great options for me.

Overall, there seems to be a little something to please everyone. Take a look at all of the products being offered and pick out your favorites.

Release Date: March 1999

MAC’s Pure Collection presents some gorgeous, ethereal-like shades that seem to reflect the delicate chill of early Spring – perfect for a March limited edition collection release.

This collection will be available while supplies last. But don’t fret; some of the shades are permanent shades in the MAC Cosmetics regularly available shade list. Hush and Vex eyeshadow will be available in the future, so don’t stress it when considering whether to purchase these colors.

Speaking of Hush, this eyeshadow is a gorgeous option to use a highlight color for any eye makeup look using cool colors. Hush is a soft, pinky peach shade. To me, it looks mostly like a frosty pale pink with a bit of added warmth to it (it leans more to the pinky peach side as opposed to the pinky purplish side like many other pale pink shades). I like to use Hush as my final eyeshadow color just below the brow to highlight the brow bone. I also blend in a little in the middle of my eyelid after I’ve applied my other eyeshadow shades. This gives a nice sheen to my look and acts as a highlighter for areas where I want light to reflect. The shade has a frost finish, so in my opinion, you don’t want to over do it with this shade. A little goes a long way.

The same can be said for the Cream Colour Base in Hush. It makes an excellent facial highlighter. In face, all of the Cream Color Bases from Pure are excellent choices if you want to create an iridescent sheen finish for your skin.

With gentle overlays of frost, sheer washes of cold color, iridescent glows, the palest of pastels and winter-turned-spring veils of color, this MAC collection captures the essence of any early Spring chill. The entire collection is gorgeous and perfectly on trend for the upcoming 1999 Spring season.
