Aaliyah and MAC

The official word is out: MAC is releasing the Aaliyah collection next summer! I, for one, am looking forward to seeing what they create. I'm wondering why it took this long, but hey, it's coming next summer and that's all that matters. 

Aaliyah was such a creative genius and as my sister said, "she was before her time." I think her last project was the best one and there was so much more to come from her. With each project (whether it was music or acting), she became better and better. How is that possible?

It was a sad day when she passed away. She was someone with so much beauty, promise and  was very well accomplished. She was just getting started, really.  I'll stop here because the memories are still very much alive. She is still with us in heart and video and song, so if you don't know much about her, check her out on youtube. Watch some of her music videos and see the genius that is Aaliyah. 

Being that MAC annouced this so early, it my thought that they definitely anticipate this being BIG and selling out quickly.  

Thank you MAC for keeping this amazing person alive in our hearts and minds!

Ulta & MAC!

A marriage made in makeup heaven has finally been announced. MAC and Ulta have joined forces! I heard that this was going to happen and now it's here.

Basically, this is BIG news! Why? Because MAC has moved into another arena and I believe the payoff will be big for both companies. 

MAC is known strictly as a department store brand. Up until now-today that is, the brand was only sold department stores, in stand alone MAC stores or online. With that being said, it's going to be a big shift for many to be able to have the option of heading to Ulta to purchase. 

The important thing to note is that MAC is only available online at Ulta.com for now. I'm hoping that the brand will be available in the brick and mortar stores soon. 

The whole move is really a sign of the times. It's pretty interesting and exciting to see this brand become more easily accessible. It also speaks volumes to the shift that has happened in our economy and the change coming to the shopping experience-mainly retail. 

Take advantage of this option if you can. If anything, it's at least available online now at Ulta. I'm expecting this to be a positive move for both brands. 

MAC Announces Caitlin Jenner Collection

MAC just keeps coming with new collection after new collection after new collection. 

Well, there's another one out now with Caitlin Jenner. The collaboration was recently announced and is actually on MAC's website now. There are multiple lipsticks for sale. Some of these colors are available online only.  The collection is full of beautiful eye shadows, lipsticks and liners among other things. Shopping for beautiful makeup is easy with this new collection. 

Taraji P. Henson and MAC

Taraji and MAC. What a combo! This is something that I am really waiting to try out. This collection is sure to sell out fast. One thing that I really like about MAC is how it really has a way to make collections have something for everyone. The collections are typically very flattering and can be taken from day to night with very little effort. I'm looking forward to this coming out soon. Be on the lookout for yet another great fall set from MAC. Looking forward to more from this iconic beauty powerhouse.
