#MACMinLiu

ANNOUNCING: MIN LIU FOR M∙A∙C 

AVAILABLE ONLINE & IN SELECT MARKETS APRIL 2017

The legend behind Ms Min brings her personal twist on Chinese traditionalism to a mythically charged M·A·C collection. Meditating on the creation and rejuvenation of life, her collaboration features indomitable reds, deep peony pinks and misty metallics, capturing the flow of energy that connects mountains, oceans – and all of us.

Quote from M∙A∙C Cosmetics Senior Vice President/Creative Director, James Gager: "We’ve continually loved Min’s collections. It’s been amazing to watch her become the force in contemporary Chinese design she is today. We’re fascinated with her modern take on traditional Chinese motifs, making us want to find a way to work together. When we first met, she brought a piece of fabric with indomitable red, deep peony pink and metallic details, which became the centerpiece of the collection’s design. It’s been a joy to partner with Min to create a subtle and elegant collection. I can’t wait to show the entire world the result!”

Quote from fashion designer, Min Liu: "M∙A∙C Cosmetics is an innovator of celebrating individuals, much like the essence of Ms MIN. The inspiration that guided this collaboration came from an ancient masterpiece about Chinese mythology culture, spirituality and folklore in the presence of nature. Energy, like beauty in fashion, flows and shifts over time. I find fashion and beauty to be the collision of personal expression of self, today being different than tomorrow, capturing our ying and yang, and the discovery of our quiet and our riot.”

Min Liu for M∙A∙C will be available online and in select markets April 2017. #MACMinLiu

CHANEL BRICK COMPARISON PART II

MY MAC Selena heavenly haul (stored safely in my locked MAC train case!) 

***UPDATED FEBRUARY 26, 2020*** Due to the overwhelming "interest" in the Chanel Brick lipstick (and the messages I have been receiving the past three days since MAC announced a relaunch), is why I have decided to update all my posts containing mention of the Chanel Brick compact, stressing what I have been saying since 2000! This compact is NOT available online or anywhere. I can guarantee you all, that any so-called brick compact purchased after 1997, when it was discontinued, are without a doubt, 100% COUNTERFEIT.  HOW DO I KNOW? Well for starters, I have met numerous times with Chanel Beauty brand reps, even as recent as this week, and it has been confirmed once again. It's sad that some take advantage of fans, just to make a "quick buck". What those of you purchasing these horrible knock-offs should be more concerned with, is not losing your hard-earned money, but rather what ingredients these amateurs are putting in these palettes, which you then put on your lips. ~Ev (You're welcome!)

********************************************************************************************************

Finally, the day so many Selena fans have been waiting for has arrived: the #MACSelena store launch! YES, by now we have all seen the countless social media posts from lucky bloggers and beauty gurus, even those lucky souls who snagged items online last week, before the servers crashed across the board. Everything sold out in minutes (nice job - still missing my two Bidi Bidi Bom Bom lipglasses) but it was amazing to see how many braved the long lines this morning, waiting for stores to open, even devoted guys in line for their wives/girlfriends! My favorite item from the entire collection? The Amor Prohibido lipstick (yep, not Como La Flor). "Dreaming of You" is too dark to be compared to Brick, so I didn't bother with the swatch comparison. (If you recall last year when her lipstick was unveiled, it was initially Como La Flor, and the full collection was unveiled later).
