MAC Cosmetics Alice+Olivia Collection

I knew this collection was going to be all kinds of great. Stacey Bendet, Alice+Olivia, is utterly charming on her twitter account. Recently, she has been touring the country in a Alice+Olivia tour bus. She visited the vintage clothing mecca, Mars & Venus in Nashville.

The collection is described as "frump fighting, pro-pixie, anti-seriousness collection of color". There are dazzleglass cremes glosses, pigments, and nail lacquers.
Each product is 100% lemming worthy. This could be "Madame B" greatness.

The Dazzleglass Cremes are sparklefested genius.

I.Want.Candy is a greenish yellow with multi-dimensional pearl. I need to experiment with this lippie. It scews slightly neon and the green cast can be tricky. This gloss is just so damn cool looking.

Sparklicious is a creamy silverish pale...pale...pale...pink.

The pink cast is just a speck. Very girly and pretty.

If It's Pink is a hot pink with some navy blue shimmer flecks. The Dazzleglass Cremes retail for $18.00($21.50 CDN)

Let me introduce you the first lemming of the 2010 year. This pigment will make you lose your mind.

Later is a sooty black with purple shimmer. This is Holy Mackerel good! The purple is more evident when applied wet. This morning I am wearing it as a liner.

If It Sparkles is a snow white with pink pearl. It is pink-opalish. Just more snow and shimmer fire.

Partylicious is a turquoise with silver pearl. I have not tested this shade yet. I need to compare it to all my teal/turquoise shades. This will take an afternoon! MAC's Director of Makeup Artistry, MUA God, and Goldfrapp fan, Gregory Arlt suggests sweeping this shade all over the lid with #252 brush. I will never be that brave.

These pigments retail for $19.50($23.50 CDN) and they are worth checking out!

The nail lacquers are fun and edgy. Morning After is a creamy turquoise. Blue nail polish fans(I am looking at you Patti aka Cavewoman!) will fall in love. This will be my Saturday manicure color.

So Rich So Pretty is a bright purple with pearl.
Military is a black matte with silver suede pearl. The nail lacquers retail for $12.00($14.50 CDN).

This collection will hit MAC counters July 8 2010. I suggest you run.
