Summer 2010: MAC To the Beach Collection…

It’s here! MAC’s summertime collection has arrives with beautiful bronze tones. Most of it is limited edition with a few re-promotes thrown in.  I am super excited about the Highlight powder with the seahorse embossed on it AND the cream blush…..I loooove cream blush and ever since my favorite stick cream bronzer was discontinued I have been looking for a replacement.  This could very well be the ticket!  Also two limited edition brushes, the beach bag, and the body bronzer!  So much to choose from!  What’s on your list??

There is fun in the sun, to be sure, but to the beach is more of a sensual state of mind – a pleasure we all feel near the sea. The girl and boy from Ipanema, from Cap d’Antibes to West Palm Beach… all around the world, the seaside has a romance, and a kind of golden, sexy alchemy we’re all drawn to. This collection encapsulates it, with a new, lapping-wave lip pencil and high-light powder in coral shades, nail lacquer – a scorcher! – eye shadow, kohl, and powder blush to get away from it all effortlessly. Sand-dabs, seashells, the magic of marine life decorating packaging in the most soothing, sultry shades of summertime. Close your eyes, and go to the beach!
