Winter 2008: MAC Chill Collection



it's cold outside, and MAC released a line to help you look perfect in it. the Chill collection consists of amazing new eyeshadows, pigments, lipglosses, lashes and an eyeliner that will last all day...

ice the competition. the temperature drops, predictability plummets, but a new beauty barometer sets the tone with light snowflake lips, twinkle shimmer shades with opalescent pearl. the season is right. chill.




Lipglass:

Icescape- sheer pale pink with pink pearl
Frozen Dream- sheer cool mid-tone pink with pearl
Snowscene- sheer white with multi-dimensional pearl
Naked Frost- sheer taupe with silver pearl





Eyeshadow:

Arctic Grey- frosted mid-tone grey
Apres-Ski- matte dark brownish grey
Vellum- pale white duochrome with violet opalescent shimmer
Wintersky- frosty neutral mid-tone pink
Mont Black- sparkly black with multi-dimensional pearl




Penultimate Eyeliner:

a new, permanent classical liquid pen liner in a modern, plastic barrel with cap package that provides precise and bold line application. the carbon black pigment provides the richest and deepest black.





Glitter:

Reflects Transparent Teal- sparkling white with turquoise
Reflects Antique Gold- sparkling taupe



41 Lash

slightly more dramatic length than other MAC Lashes. overlapping hairs give a luxe, lush look.


i went to my MAC counter and saw everything in person-- love! this is a great little collection. i am especially loving the Penultimate Liner- it's not waterproof, but it doesn't budge once it's dry!

MAC Chill is now available at your local MAC counter or stroes, as well as online at maccosmestics.com

Essie Winter 2008 Collection



winter...ahh...i just love the sound of it!

although for me, winter has never been like winter with snow or blizzards (i live in southern california, where people freak out when it rains...LOL!), but hey, it gets pretty chilly and i couldn't imagine it any differently.

so moving on...

Essie has released her fab Winter 2008 Collection, and it was all inspired by the looks as seen on the runways of fashion week for, well, fall/winter 2008.

winter’s divine fashions parallel essie’s new collection of six striking nail colors from classy reds to shimmery violets and a surprising burst of gold, proving that "without color, it wouldn't be fashion." - Essie Weingarten

take a look...





Sexy Divide, an electric violet, was inspired by Abaete






Shifting Power, a sizzling molten gold was inspired by Proenza Schouler







Damsel in a Dress, an oh-so deep currant, was also inspired by Proenza Schouler








Bold & Beautiful, a rich ruby garnet, was inspired by Oscar de la Renta







Rock Star Skinny, a glamorous crimson red, was inspired by Pollini







It's Genius, a violet quartz shimmer, was inspired by Vivian Tam


so what do you think of the collection? any one color pop out at you? let me know in the comments!
