MAC came out with a new collection today, it's called Pret a Papier. If you like neutrals, this collection may be for you. The inspiration of this collection was paper itself, simple and basic elements.
“Craft Paper Couture – an inspired idea cut like a pattern and whipped up into a frisky little “funny face” frock. Then, strip it back to its essence for Summer 2010 for a Pret-a-Papier colour collection. It was a Project Runway challenge of sorts, with paper as the source, the instigator of ideas, the beginning of something simply, basically beautiful. Lipstick, LipGlass, Eye Shadow, Paint Pot, Chromografic Pencil, Studio Fix Lash, Impeccable Brow Pencil, Sheertone and Mineralize Blushes, and Nail Lacquer in a seamless spectrum of parchment-to-vellum beiges, with an occasional, clever colour spill, coral among the most au courant.”
This collection was/will be released on April 22, 2010 in Canada/US and May 2010 Internationally. You can order it online today, and use the code "PAPIER" for free shipping until April 25, 2010 (this code is for Canadian addresses, not sure if it's valid in the US).

The standout products to me:
* Sheertone Blush in Instant Chic - I am a sucker for peach blushes, so I *may* pick up this one. Scratch that, after watching some youtube videos and reading reviews, Instant Chic is very similar to MAC's Melba blush, which I have.
* Light to Dark MES - looks nice, but I think it's too dark on my skintone.
* Memorabilia eyeshadow - This looks really nice, I've seen swatches that it's a grey purple, I don't know how I feel it being matte however.
* Cut To Fit eyeshadow - Looks really nice in swatches, it is similiar to Cranberry eyeshadow (which I don't have yet).
Honestly though, I think I am passing on this collection, I am really excited for "To the Beach" which comes out next month. Are you getting anything from this collection?
I am unsure what I like in this collection too. I thought they were going to make the packaging look "paper-like"...I thought that was what I saw in other intro ads but i guess not.
ReplyDelete@eleventhofapril - Ya I saw that too, I thought the same about the packaging, but it's just normal old packaging. I spend waaay too much on MAC as it is, I am happy when I see a collection where I don't want anything from! But I do like reading about it and seeing what others get and stuff. To the beach is gorgeous and I want like 4-5 things from it!
ReplyDeletehey justine, where do you read MAC upcoming collections from ?
ReplyDeleteand you're right, the To the beach collection is pretty ! which items did u want from that collection ? So far, i am liking 2 of the lipsticks, the lipglasses, 2 of the eyeshadows ;)
ReplyDeleteThe marine life skinfinish, the two blushes, and the refined golden bronzer (I know it's permanent, but I love the packaging).
ReplyDeletespektra.net is a great website for new collections. I also see people on youtube posting about upcoming collections.
