Surf Baby! Just in time for the Summer!

Who's ready to do some Surfing baby?

Already out online and at most MAC stores, this is one big makeup collection that MAC has put out.  

It has everything from shadows, lipsticks, glosses, powders, liptints, pigments, liners, polishes, you name it! 

The only thing missing is probably a Surf Board with the MAC logo on it (just kidding ;)

Some of the lovely products include:

Hangin Loose & Ocean Dipped Nail Laquers

Bust Out, Hibiscus, Mocha, Naturally Eccentric Lipsticks

Saffron, Short Shorts, Sun Blonde, Surf USA, Swell Baby Shadows

The rest of the products:

For Full Information on all the products do check out MAC Cosmetics online or go to your local MAC store/counter for assistance.  Also, after checking online last night, I did notice that some of the popular colors have been sold out or is restocked soon.  So that means, get them while you can before its gone!

What are you getting from this collection?

I'm just looking to spend my $$ on the eye shadows, lip tints, pigments, and 

maybe some of the powders, but who knows, I may just buy everything. LOL

Lady Gaga Inspired

For 2011, MAC named Lady Gaga their spokesperson for MAC Viva Glam.  This years look and color is totally different from last years collaboration with Cyndi Lauper.  For this year, Lady Gaga is elegant, with neutral makeup and very beautiful.  There will be a new lipstick and lipglass for the Viva Glam campaign which should be out at MAC stores and counters nationwide.

My Inspired Gaga FOTD:

Just me

When I first saw the ad campaign for Viva Glam, I was like WOW! Lady Gaga is so beautiful, so ethereal.  Unlike last year's bright pink lipstick, this years is more neutral and laid back, which I love.  I love how the use of pinks and browns were used for the makeup and also love the styling of the fashion.

And Yes! I'm not no Gaga, so my look is probably a bit less elegant and not as close as the picture, but I tried.  I just love the subtlety of the look and know that the look is something many of us could wear.  I did not use the Viva Glam lipstick for this look as it did not come out yet when I did the look.  I do plan to pick up the lipstick and lipglass, and when I do, I'll post up some swatches and pictures.

What I used:

Face:
Neutrogena concealer, Smashbox Halo powder, MAC Tenderling Blush
Eyes:
MAC Bare Study p/p, Urban Decay Naked palette, MAC Studio Fix mascara, Blacktrack f/l, Shisem lashes
Lips:
NYX pumpkin lipstick

Have you been Lady Gaga Inspired lately?

Nails and Sigma Code

Here's a quick Nails of the Day Look!  

I used Zoya's "Ibiza" and OPI's "Brand New Skates" for the nails.  I'm not much a nail art person. I can barely apply a decent polish on each hand.  Here it goes!
