Radiant Rose - light shell pink

Prep + Prime Vibrancy Eye - $36.50 - a lightweight quick fix and long-term solution for puffy, tired-looking creases and bags that targets the three main causes for dark under eye circles - pigmentation, visibly weakened capillaries and shadowing - while illuminating the eye area with optical effects for instant luminosity.


Available April 7th at your MAC counter and www.maccosmetics.com

The beauty pic for this collection reminds me that I do have maternal instinct - for my makeup that is - I was out with a friend years back and she asked to borrow a lipstick as neither of us had a pen and she wanted to write something down - and I just looked at her like she was crazy - what do you mean you want to use one of my babies for writing?  What kind of white slavery ring are you running lady?  No way - no chance!  The concept person for this campaign obviously does not understand the obsessive love for a good lipstick - doodle on the mirror with one? Never!
