MAC MakeUp: what's next?

It's Daphne Guinness takes over MAC...
for those of you scratching your head, and needing to google Daphne Guiness...I'll give you the brief bio:
She is the, 44 year old, heiress to the Guinness beer empire, she is prominent in the fashion world, and  may currently be known for her white and black striped hair....or

 her artful way of dressing. Her story goes, like every girl's: born an heiress, married a shipping billionaire...and so on...(just kidding, that is so far off from every girl's life...but that's part of her "fame") then gets to create a color palette for MAC using her love of art. She watercolors that she took out and spit in, to start mixing colors at her first MAC meeting. 

*

She was said to have brought her own palette of watercolors to the first meeting for her MAC collection, and spit in it right there and started mixing colors...ha ha ha!

She loves art and I think she really enjoyed bringing, perhaps, the colors of her favorite paintings to the medium of make-up...take a look, they're beautiful and they have the colors of maybe an english garden on a stormy day- the subtle colors of garden roses with the backdrop of a greyish white cloudy day...

My FAVORITES....I think I like both the Blush Ombre colors and this Warp Speed, whitish silver...looks like the same exact shade of Covergirl frosty silver I wore all the time in high school! I  love it by virtue of "old lip color love". And I pretty much like all the lip colors....the dark colors take me back to when my hair was about an inch long, platinum blonde and I would wear this dark, dark plum color from MAC all the time!

So there was your MAC attack makeup update....

oh, these babies  are going to be launched in the US, December 26th, 2011 and in January 2012, Internationally at  all MAC locations everywhere.

Mac-a-lacka-ding-dong.... your kandee

PS... do you love, like, or pass on any of these new colors?

I love how they have the clear handled brushes...I'm normally not a fan of clear or plastic handles because they are not weighted properly. The brush part will be heavier and the handles are too light to balance in your hand properly, but I haven't held one of these babies yet, maybe they secretly weighted them- I won't know til I hold one of those bad boys! but they are "cool" looking! ha ha

and I love the CLEAR MAKE-UP BAGS!!!!!!!

So there's the sneek peek scoop on the new Holiday goodies from MAC! I bet people are excited to not be scared by the clown and just look at Johnny Weir!

I really love these wearable colors...it just drives me crazy that they are limited!

love and icicles of coolness..ha ha ha  your kandee

going gaga for gaga

I walked into my local glammy MAC store...
And what should my wondering eyes find to adore...

a lovely blonde sale girl who took me to see....
the most lovely pink shade of lipstick you ever did see...

she said it was gaga...viva glam-glam
and I said order me up one..please and thank you ma'am!
and I said


FROM the new Cyndi Lauper and Lady Gaga Viva Glam Collection....may I rave, gush, and yell from the beauty mountain tops......I love this new GAGA lipstick color! And have one placed on hold when these babies come out...I think they said I can pick it up tomorrow!
TA-DAAAAAA or should I say Ta-Gaaaaaaa!

here this litte gem of a lip color stands....this little baby is gonna put a $14 size hole in your wallet...it'll be worth every swipe across your "soup-coolers"...
here's sampling AKA a smearing of the lipstick...as you can see it's "it's a light blue pink"......I love cool pinks.....our lips have enough red...the blue just gives it a perfect nude-pink....
And to know me, is to know my love, and endless search...for the perfect nude-pink. Until I am offered the chance to design my own, perfect lip color...I shall continue the hunt! ha ha ha

When you feel pretty....it changes something inside you...your confidence comes out and shines to the world. Do something today to make yourself feel pretty...go buy a new lipstick! Wear something pretty, a new fun piece of jewelry, take a few extra minutes to do your hair...and see how these small changes...spark your confidence!

huge love and lipstick.....your kandee

I love this.....

I'd be happy if the was the only lipstick I could EVER wear for the rest of my life!!!
(we all know how I love a pale-nude mouth...and this is the jam-on-it!!! (means I love it!!!))
May I introduce you to:
MAC's Dsquared (limited edition...so stock up...I'm going to go buy like 10!!!) NUDE ROSE Lipstick...
I love it!!!! It is the most perfect pale-milky-pink color that has a slight hint of peach, so your lips still look alive...but nice and nude!!! (will look great on everyone from pale, pale..to dark skin tones...) LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this! (it is the only lipstick I wore all weekend for my mom's surprise Disneyland trip)

next up...this is a super cool (again limited edition)
LIP ERASER...from MAC's Dsquared2 collection...nude lip balm with NO shine!
it totally nudes out the mouth so you can use it with just a little gloss or nothing at all...gets rid of all redness (yay!)....(you can only pick this up at MAC Pro Stores -google MAC PRO stores and see what's near ya!)

just wanted to pass on some new beauty loves!!! And I LOVE this lipstick...I'm so nervous they're gonna be sold out!!! ha ha ha
