MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick, Spring 2011

Gloss is good, but there’s nothing quite as wonderfully, worldly cinematic as a Lipstick – and they’re coming back! We’ve updated formulas to make it all plausible. Sheen Supreme is the combination of the strong, sensually saturated colour of, say, Tilda Swinton’s I Am Love Milanese Lipstick, leavened with the light feel and clear vibrancy, the see-through sheen of a modern New York City Girl Gloss. Imagine no muddy undertones, gliding in pearl or creme finish, moisturizing with no sticky/tacky feel. It’s a new medium, with M∙A∙C in the lead. This is retro/modern – and devastatingly chic.

Release date:
USA: March 3, 2011
Nederland: March ?, 2011

Sheen Supreme Lipstick ($14.50 €?)
Bare Again: Pinky neutral beige
Behave Yourself: Light blue pink
Can’t Get Enough: Beige neutral
Can’t Resist: Golden purplish red
Full Speed: Bright clean yellow pink
Good to Be Bad: Deep burgundy
Gotta Dash!: Pale coral
Impressive: Neutral gilded plum
Insanely It: Watermelon pink
Look at Her!: Metallic copper
New Temptation: Vivid blue red
Quite the Thing!: Deep blue plum
Supremely Confident: Pale nude
Ultra Darling: Mid-tone yellow pink

These will become part of the regular line. The price for The Netherlands is still unknown but I will update this post as soon as I find out more. Are you interested in these lipsticks? As a lipstick-lover it caught my attention, but I want to wait for swatches before I decide to buy one. I think the promo image is pretty cool. I’ve always wanted to do that, drawing with a lipstick on a mirror. I wouldn’t use a MAC lipstick for that though. Anyone else also bothered by the models chipped nails?

MAC Cremeblend Blush Collection, Spring 2011

For every contour control freak, for every persistent perfectionist comes this wondrous way to play with blush that gives you the most magnificent flexibility you’ve ever had…Starts creamy, stays creamy and proves once and for all that powder is NOT your only prerogative. You can get back to a new build for that retro “rouge” look Old Hollywood Glamour made modern or stop at subtle and natural; it’s all in your hands. In three aspects, two shades of each: One matched to skin, one for a brighter glow and one darker for cream contouring, it’s perfect for all skin colours, minus the silicone, particularly adept at preventing ashiness on darker complexions. Make powdery a thing of the past.

Release date:
USA: March 3, 2011
Nederland: March 12, 2011

Cremeblend blush ($18.50 €?)

These will become part of the permanent collection. The official prices for the Netherlands are still unknown but I will update this post as soon as I know more. I own one cream blush from Illamasqua and I absolutely love it. I will do a review on it soon.

Have you ever tried cream blush? Do you like it? Why (not)? Do you want to try out these new Cremeblend blushes?

Lime Crime: 3 New Spring Shades

Lime Crime is an American webshop owned by Doe Deere who calls herself the Queen of Unicorns. That's probably the reason you'll find incredibly cute unicorns on the packaging. It is known for its bright coloured lipsticks and its 'Magic Eye Dusts', which are pigments. MissLipgloss reviewed a few of them and they look promising. If you're curious about the lipsticks you might want to check out Temptalia who did a post about all the lipsticks that are already available. There are some unusual colours available like a light blue and a black, but also more common colours like red and bright pink. For this spring Lime Crime launches 3 new shades:

Mint to be: The shade we’ve all been waiting for, a romantic pop of pastel glory.
Coquette: Pale pinky nude. Will it conceal or reveal?
New Yolk City: A banana-cream-dream on the city scene.

The Lime Crime Lipsticks cost: $16.00

Again some unusual shades. Would you wear mint-green or cream-yellow on your lips? I wouldn’t but I can imagine there are people out there who like it. So it's good there are colours like these available, it does set your company apart from the others. Coquette might look like something I would wear. I’ve never tried any Lime Crime lipsticks. Have you already tried any of the Lime Crime lipsticks? Do you like them? Why (not)? Do you want to try a Lime Crime Lipstick? Please let me know in the comments!

xoxo Kelly

So this is the next limited edition collection by MAC. I don't know all the prices yet but I'll change the post when I get more information. No special packaging this time but those eyeshadows look lovely with the denim print. I think that they will be bigger than the normal eyeshadows, just like the Tartan Tale and Peacocky ones. I just don't see the point in that because I never finished a normal size MAC eyeshadow. I think I’ll wait for the swatches on Temptalia before I decide what to buy.

Are you planning on buying something from this collection?
