MAC is releasing another limited edition collection for Spring 2013 just before this year ends and it promises to be both colourful and strong!

MAC Strength debuts in North America on December 26, 2012 and Internationally in January 2013. It will also be available on December 24, 2012 online at www.mac.cosmetics.com for North American residents. For more details you can call 1-800-588-0070 or visit the website.  

Collection Details:

“Colour is the vehicle for women to flex their femininity, and MAC’s new collection reflects this state of mind and style. It starts with dramatic eyes and limps pumped up with vivid colour to project power while cheeks are softly chiseled with natural tones. And, nailing it for overall presentation, MAC’s high-gloss Nail Lacquer”.

The lipsticks I will be checking out are the 2 re-promotes from the 2012 Iris Apfel Collection.  Both Party Parrot & Pink Pigeon sold out within minutes the first time around and although I’m not usually one to wear bright lipsticks, I need to see what all the hype is about in person.
