M·A·C Vera.

This is such a fun, bright new collection from MAC that comes just in time for spring. A playful collection from artist Vera, the products are beautiful.

Can I please take a moment and just say how happy I am to be playing with spring products? I know we have had a very mild winter here in New England, but it is dragging and I am dreaming of the longer and warmer days.

 

Brilliant butterflies, flashy florals and gorgeously geometric graphics…A colourful collaboration between M·A·C and the artist known worldwide as Vera, who merged fine arts with linens, murals, textiles and silk scarves in her punchy, painted patterns. Now in shades plucked straight from her most lavish prints, M·A·C Vera embraces the luxe, lighter-than-air spirit that delivers the kind of startling, look-at-me statement that defines what it means to be an instant classic.

Spring 2012: L'Oreal Paris Cosmetics.

L'Oreal Paris has launched a whole slew of new products for spring this year. Just in the cosmetics department there are new shadows, liners, blush, balms and glosses. Not to mention some new skin care, a new nail color range, more from Visible Lift and some new Magic Lumi products. We will talk about those soon, but let's get to what I am most excited about - the new makeup.

L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Balm - $7.95
This new balm lipstick hybrid is just what the mass market needs right now. L'Oreal Paris hit it out of the ballpark with this one, as the colors are not only soft and beautiful, but the balm is so rich and hydrating - with an SPF of 15 to boot. Colour Riche Balm leaves lips feeling softer and supple all day long, as well as conditioned for up to 2.5 hours after the balm is removed.

There are eight beautiful shades, that are specific to their colored packaging, so choosing an everyday shade is simple.

• Tender Mauve
• Pink Satin
• Heavenly Berry
• Rose Elixir
• Nourishing Nude
• Plush Plum
• Caring Coral
• Caramel Comfort

Colour Riche Balm: Pink Satin, Caring Coral

L'Oreal Paris Infallible 8 HR Le Gloss - $9.99
With a new and improved formulas as well as four new gorgeous shades, Infallible Le Gloss leaves lips glossy in color for 8 hours now. With the addition of a new polymer that extends wear while also reducing the level of stickiness for improved comfort, Lip-Infusing Emollients wrap the lips in comfort, leaving them feeling ultra soft and moisturized, while providing a smooth base for beautiful color pigment.

Le Gloss: Pink Topaz, Glistening Berry

L'Oreal Paris Magic Smooth Souffle Blush - $12.95
This is probably my favorite out of all the launches, this bouncy blush leaves my cheeks beautiful. It blends so easily onto my skin for seamless, beautiful - breathable color. Just a small amount is all you need. I just place a very small dot on the apple of my cheek and blends out. It is so fun to feel the light as air feel blend onto skin then turn into an almost powder.

Souffle Blush comes in four shades for the prettiest soft focus finish.

• Celestial (Pink)
• Cherubic (Rose)
• Angelic (Coral)
• Plume (Mauve)

Souffle Blush: Celestial, Angelic, Plume
