After battling my way through the intense crowd at my local MAC, I made it out alive from the preview party for MAC's newest collection, Wonder Woman! The collection that launches February 10, 2011 is packed in bold limited edition Wonder Woman packaging and I was lucky enough to get a sneak peak! The party was very crowded but definitely worth it, as guests were treated to drinks (raspberry mojitos), baked goodies (cupcakes served by, ahem, beefcakes) and most importantly a first look at this fabulous new collection.
I had to swipe up both blushes in Amazon Princess (dark and bold plum tones) and Mighty Aphrodite (a warm peach coral). Both blushes are serious business as they are heavily pigmented and SUPERsized. At .38 oz, I do mean BIG. I also picked up two lipsticks in Marquis D' (a nude gold pink lustre) and Spitfire (a bright magenta satin). Neither of these are colors we haven't seen, but I could not resist myself. I love these colors! Lastly, I picked up a lipglass in Athena's Kiss which is also JUMBO sized (.37 oz vs the regular size of .17 oz). Pictued below are the gorgeous products I picked up as well as the Mineralized Skin Finish in Golden Lariat (too close to MAC's previous MSF Gold Deposit, which I already own) and the blue eyeshadow quad in Lady Justice that my dear sister picked up. I will definitely post a follow up with swatches and looks using these products! What will you be picking up from this Wonder Woman collection? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
LOL cupcakes served by beefcakes. Hahah that's hilarious. I'm not a fan of the packaging but if I were to haul, I'd end up picking the same items you did. Great minds think alike ;) How does Spitfire compare with Style Curve?
ReplyDelete@ Kristie: You have great taste in makeup! ;)And yes, the packaging is a bit garish and feels cheap in the hand. Style Curve and Spitfire are pretty close but I would say Style Curve is just a touch more violet while Spitfire leans more pink.
ReplyDeleteI don't particularly like Wonder Woman. But .. I plan to grab the exact lipsticks and lipgloss as you. Hehehe ..
ReplyDeleteOMGosh...the blush colors are sooo pretty! I will definitely be checking them out..hopefully it will still be in stock when launched here in my country!
ReplyDeleteI've already told me boyfriend to buy the lippies for me when he goes to DFS!!! I so can't wait for this! I just love the packaging so much and lucky you for being able to go see it!!!! *jealous*
ReplyDeletehow cute is the packaging <3 love the bright color
ReplyDeleteI didnt brave the launch party last night... I was cold and tired! I know I'll regret it. But I did order Mighty Aphrodite blush, Marquise d' l/s, Emancipation l/g... and Im placing another order for Athenas Kiss, and Spitfire.
