Glam girl Fergie is the new spokeswoman for MACs 2009 Viva Glam collection, and this years shades are some of the best ones yet. I normally buy the Viva Glam colors whether I like them or not because 100% of proceeds go to AIDS research – which gives me the opportunity to use my make-upping super powers for good rather than evil for a change.



This years batch however – frosty pinks and sumptuous plums- are something I most definitely look forward to wearing with a sexy set of smoky eyes. I may even try the lavender look Fergie is sporting in this fabulous poster. Normally I’m not into the couture look, but this one is fierce! Kinda drag queen, but fierce!

Viva Glam VI launches in April, so here’s a listing of the entire collection I pulled off the MAC website so you can get your shopping lists ready!


Lipstick ($14.00)
Viva Glam VI Special Edition Soft blue pink (lustre)
Viva Glam VI Warm terracotta plum with subtle pearl (lustre)
Lipglass ($14.00)
Viva Glam VI Special Edition Soft pink-tinged mauve (frost)
Viva Glam VI Warm plum with pearl (frost)

MAC has finally launched its Kitty Kouture line, and not a moment too soon if ya ask me. Cuz if it’s one thing I love, it’s spending my rent money on make-up and shiny stuff.



Ok, sarcasm aside, I’ll admit I love this line. And if I had a bunch of extra money lying around, I would totally buy all of it. The products are fab, and the packaging is fun, girly and oh so sparkly.

The two shades of Dazzleglass – at $28 a pop- are lovely. Kitty Kouture is a sheer baby pink with loads of sparkle, and Dazzlepuss is a sheer hot pink with flecks of iridescent glitter. The vials are about the same size as MACs regular lipglass, and adorned with a bejeweled Hello Kitty charm that could easily be MacGuyvered into a pendant if you really wanted to make the effort.

The Sheer Mystery Powder meanwhile comes in just about the most beautiful compact ever, encrusted with Swarovski Crystals and a blinged out Hello Kitty logo. The powder comes in three shades – light medium, medium plus and Dark Secret – but let’s be real folks, no one really cares about the powder. Cuz the compact is so pretty it could be filled with killer bees and I’d still want it. Or at least I did until I found out it costs $90. Then I just started crying. Cuz good lord that’s a lot of money!

So until I either win the lottery or find a rich husband, I will be reporting on the Kouture line rather than reviewing it. Unless a certain cosmetics company feels like sending me free samples *cough, cough* in which case I will gladly accept donations!

Okay peeps, it’s T-minus one day and counting until the launch of the MAC Hello Kitty collection, and I’m so excited I can barely contain myself. I mean, this is like, the holy grail for girly girls everywhere. It’s like, even bigger than when Britney and Christina presented together at the 2000 VMAs.



Ok, I must calm down. I am a professional after all (heh) and must bring you the details of this glorious collection. And let me tell you, it’s all amazing!

MAC is offering everything from Hello Kitty lip glass and lipstick to eyeshadow, nail lacquer, blush, glitter eye liner and yes, even eye pigment. Then there’s the collection of accessories, the thought of which quite frankly has given me heart palpitations. Like the kind I used to get from boys before I realized they’re all douchebags. Which used to really upset me, until I saw this Hello Kitty stuff and was brought right back to my happy place! Aaaaah Zen, how I’ve missed you!

Anywho, to give you guys a better idea of what to expect, I’ve included a partial listing of the collection below. There are also some couture items which are a lot pricier – think $90 face powder – and a bunch of super cute totes, make-up bags and even jewelry.
