The MAC Cosmetics Riveting Collection is a collection full of bold, bold shades that reminds me of rock n’ roll glam. One thing’s for sure - the shades showcased here are not the ordinary everyday shades!

With my third installment of the MAC Spring Colour Forecast, I give you plum and burgundy shades!
Looking at the picture, do you see something different? Look closer, look closer.
Okay, MAC has a totally revamped eyeshadow quad packaging! The new eyeshadow quad looks very sleek compared to the old one, but the old one, with its textured plastic is actually mess-free, as compared to the new eyeshadow quad packaging. Nonetheless, I’m still after the color payoff of the quads.
On to my review,

Oh, I could only remember last year’s MAC Spring Collection - it was the Hello Kitty Collection. I was in Singapore then, and there were pre-buys ( yes, in MAC! ) and day 1 was so chaotic that I almost didn’t get my MAC Hello Kitty doll. This year, MAC wows us tremendously by coming up with a HUGE Spring Collection.
MAC plays with so much spring colors that I got dizzy - there’s Spring Colour Forecast 1 that is inspired by pinks and lavenders, Spring Colour Forecast 2 that plays with coral shades, Spring Colour Forecast 3 with plum and burgundy, and Spring Colour Forecast 4 with warm yellows and golds. How wonderful. And I thought that spring was only about pastel. Haha!
I’m going to start my notes about the MAC Spring Colour Forecast Collection with numero uno.

NARS comes up with their version of spring - sexy spring, that is!
Inspired by Catherine Deneuve’s role as Lucille in La Chamade, the NARS Spring 2010 Collection features soft, sexy shades that are as elegant as they are versatile.
“I love Catherine’s makeup look in this movie,” says François Nars, Founder and Creative Director of NARS Cosmetics who chose supermodel Amber Valletta for the campaign. “It’s very sophisticated and bourgeois in a Parisian ‘16th Arrondissement’ way. She is the perfect reference for this collection, and apropos for spring, a time to embrace color and get noticed.”
The items in the NARS’ Spring Collection include :

As the economy is slowing down and recession is making us cut bank on our spending, as we are being extra careful with our jobs, and finding ways to earn more and save more despite the gloomy atmosphere, recession and beauty products are just one different story. As my last entry about beautynomics goes, as the economy goes down, lipstick sales go up!
With this, L’Oreal, the number one beauty company in the world, in its 100th year, commissioned an international survey of 4,000 women in 5 countries including the United States, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. In each country, 800 women ages 15-65, who use makeup, were asked about their cosmetics products and usage.
The statistics and results are just as interesting, just like men wonder why women would act like this, or like that. Here ya go, with my notes included :
Working for a living:
Nearly half of U.S. women believe wearing makeup gives them an advantage at work and makes them feel more in control.

Makeup is truly art. There definitely are no boundaries in color. MAC Cosmetics collaborates with three brilliant artists, with their own interpretation of fall,
MAC celebrates the idea of the artist in every shape and stripe…makeup as art form. We’ve selected three individuals who exemplify this idea. Bold, Heroic, Big ; Giggly, Playful, Clever ; Dramatic, Original, Abstract ; Fall’09 as seen by Richard Phillips, Maira Kalman, and , Marilyn Minter. Be inspired!
FALL ’09 AS SEEN BY RICHARD PHILLIPS, PAINTER
Using the expert skills of a photo-retoucher, Richard subjected his own painting to a M·A·C makeover with the new eye shadows, blushes and lipsticks. A collection of Eye Shadow quads, Lipsticks, Lipglass, and The Perfect Cheek Blush just leap off the canvas!

MAC Cosmetics just keep on coming up with exciting collections, and this one is quite close to my heart - for I love MAC Cosmetics for coming up with really nice lipstick shades. Their Cremesheen line and Amplified Creme line won my heart whole, but this Euristocrats Collection seems quite promising that I can’t wait to see them in counters very very soon!

Yesterday was one of the most emotionally unstable days of my life.
I’ve been a bit down because my flatmates are all in Manila, so that leaves me home alone, but my classmates from makeup school made my day, with a not-so-boring, and interesting hairstyling class today.
But then, the highlight of my day was right after school as I dragged my classmate Bernadette to Vivo City, for today was the official launch of the MAC Hello Kitty Collection in Singapore! I wasn’t able to take pictures on-site, but it’s a huge, huge display of Hello Kitty outside Tang’s Vivo, with makeovers, and lots of displays of the MAC Hello Kitty Collection! I almost cried when the MAC makeup artist told me that the Hello Kitty doll was sold out this morning all over Singapore, but then, miraculously, as a sign from heaven that I’ve been a good girl, another makeup artist approached the makeup artist I was dealing with and told me that they had one doll left. Sold! Hahahaha!
Anyway, I’m too exhausted, as I was so drained with happiness, and well, my credit card a bit “scratched” today, but then I am a huge Hello Kitty fan ever since, so I just took this one big luxurious splurge this weekend - and hey, I never spluged for any MAC collection ever, right? Just this once, just this once! ( I am sounding like Becky Bloomwood from Confessions of a Shopaholic, eh? ) Anyway, shown above, are the accessories that I’ve bought. They’re all wonderful!

In all the collections of MAC Cosmetics, I think MAC Hello Kitty is one collection that I’m determined to collect, given that I have unlimited resources and that includes cash! Haha! For now, I have these MAC Hello Kitty babies, and I am anticipating March 6, for MAC Cosmetics Vivo City will be having the MAC Hello Kitty Collection for sale on that date. They have displayed the collection last weekend, and I almost fainted when I saw the adorable stuffed toy that I’m determined to get, for sure!
Anyway, here’s what I have so far :
I’d be totally honest with you to tell you that the first thing that got me is the packaging. Black packaging with the very very cute black Hello Kitty! I don’t even know if I want to finish these babies, or maybe, if I get to finish using them, I would definitely be keeping the packaging. They’re just so beautiful!

I’m about to not ramble, and give you a one liner, to make things simple for the weekend,
MAC Cremesheen lipsticks are true love material, because they are just like amplified cream lipsticks by MAC Cosmetics, in all its creamy, luscious-lippie glory, with added shine.
In other words, get every shade you can if you chance upon this at your local MAC counters!
Okay, rambling starts here!
