Update: Hocus Pocus is officially SOLD OUT in North America!!  You guys are the best readers ever!  I’ll be doing a giveaway this week….stay tuned and check the site daily.  Best way to stay updated with more/new info is through twitter or facebook

Hi my beauties!!  So excited to share this moment with you!  The MAC Bloggers’ Obsessions collection is live and I am SO excited for you guys to try everything!!  I wanted to share a moment with you that I had with my good friend and fellow bloginista Patrice from Afrobella.  Patrice and I were both a little overwhelmed with this opportunity but since we are friends, we were supporting each other, trying to stay in the moment and take everything in.  How exciting it was and how blessed we were to have such a wonderful opportunity.  We were having a very deep conversation in the photo below.  We were on our way to the lab to meet the chemists and start blending.  We had no idea what to expect or how we were going to do what was expected of us – but we were just gonna roll with it.  I will be forever grateful to her for that moment.

A lot has been said about this collection some positive and some not so positive.  I am lucky to have the greatest readers in the world who have supported me from day one and I am so thankful for that because without you there would be no Makeup Girl.  For all of the people that choose to judge what we did with MAC in Toronto and how we did it, take some time out for yourself and dream your own dreams instead of wasting your time coveting ours.  We are all stars in our own little movies, the brightness of that star depends on how much time you spend polishing it.  That being said, my baby Hocus Pocus makes her professional debut right now!  Go check her and everyone else’s shades out!!  If you need to see swatches to help make your decision see mine here.  See swatches on lighter skin on Christine’s (eyes), (lips) & Karen’s (swatches) sites.

You can use the code BLOG for free standard shipping on all orders.

    Hi Lianne,

    I bought Hocus Pocus and I can’t wait until it arrives at my doorstep.  It’s my hope that the Bloggers’ Obsessions Collection proves to people that it’s important to believe in your dreams and enjoy what you do (whether a job or hobby).  None of the bloggers wrote that they thought – in their wildest dreams – this would happen to them.  But, you all carried on (while you thought no one was watching), being true to yourselves, your fans, and your dreams… and POUF!!!

    While many are happy for you, I’m sure just as many are good-naturedly envious, and another (hopefully smaller percent) are truly jealous.  It’s human nature.  But, I hope you carry on being you in the wake of this amazing opportunity.

    Congratulations to you and all the Bloggers involved in this unprecedented collection!

    I’m so thrilled I got Hocus Pocus before it sold out (I missed out on JW because I went to the GYM!!!  It wasn’t even available when I left and it was “Sold Out” by the time I got home, 2 hours later).  Someone needs to tell the people at MAC that they’ve got a hit on their hands with the products that sold out in less than 12 hours so that they will do ANOTHER run of these – they could easily sell 10X the product (and shut down the folks on eBay who bought up most of the stock and are selling it for 100 bucks and more!).  I think you developed one of the BEST smoky shadows ever, Lianne, as this can go from really smoky to very subtle and everything in between.  Amazing work!

    Neena, I got mine on Friday and have been wearing it non-stop ever sine.  You will LOVE it, I’m sure – I think this is one shadow that everyone can wear for just about every occasion because it is so blendable and versatile.
