Makeup time! I looooooove makeup. I always have for as long as I can remember. Before I was even allowed to wear makeup I was obsessed with the idea of it. My mother used to sell Mary Kay when I was younger and I would go with her to the parties. I loved the colors of the lipsticks and blushes; finding a matching foundation seemed like an art. You know how it is. Makeup is like a fairytale land when you're younger. Well, my mom had the nerves to tell me I couldn't wear makeup until I was 16. Then when I was 13 she pushed it back to 18!

That just wouldn't do. I would sneak and wear makeup, applying it in the bathroom at school before my first class and struggling to scrub it off after school. I'm sure I looked a mess. You remember how you think you're doing well then you look back at pics or reflect and realized you were horrible with makeup? Yeah, so me. I started with white eyeliner! I know…so horrible! I thought it was cute and gave it a try. My line was jagged then I got better. Let's be honest though. White eyeliner on the top lip is almost always a mistake. Now on the waterline it can make your eyes appear larger. I need to try that now. *makes real quick makeup store run*
Okay, I'm back. Now drumroll please! Let's talk the MAC upcoming summer collections! I came late to the Mia Moretti collection. Thank God for restocks. But I totally missed the Bao Bao Wan and Cinderella collections. Like the only thing that I can find is one of the Bao Bao Wan nail polishes. I could buy the overpriced lipsticks on Instagram or Amazon.com but I'll pass. I really wanted Lavender Jade and Forbidden Summer but c'est la vie. I did find some of the Cinderella collection's lipstick (Free As A Butterfly) and the Julia Petit red lipstick. And like I said, I caught the Mia Moretti on restock. Whoo!
Now back on topic. Two collections (and possibly a third) that I have heard about are coming this summer and the lipstick colors and packaging are TO DIE FOR! So, without further ado, I present to you the Giambattista Valli collection by MAC, MAC Wash and Dry collection, and MAC X Guo Pei (may be a fall collection. I'm not entirely sure yet)! Names may not be the official name, FYI.
There are quite a few pics of the Wash and Dry collection.
Not so many of the Giambattista Valli collection.
Or the Guo Pei collection.
So! Are you guys excited? Which are you looking forward to the most? Which collection do you just know you'll have to purchase something from?
