If you could develop your own makeup product what would you come up with? I have an idea for a cosmetics makeup line but I'm keeping hush hush....

What a fun idea! I'm loving that grey-blue shadow, so cool.
ReplyDeleteHow cool! It's always exciting to see brands partnering with bloggers. I love that the relationship continues to grow and the brands are listening more to consumers rather than the media, etc.
ReplyDeleteI love the concept but I'm pretty disappointed with the colors the bloggers have created. All these colors are "been there, seen that, bought that". Quite frankly, they're actually more on the boring side with the exception of the green eye shadow, which is pretty but still nothing I haven't already seen. I follow most of these bloggers and I have a lot of respect for every one of them. That's what makes these colors so disappointing. I expected far better from all of you. Maybe next time, MAC can make it a contest open to everyone. That way, maybe people would take more time to think about creating something really special!

Love the idea as well! Would love to see these in person. The eyeshadow in Sparkle, Neely, Sparkle looks nice & the lipglass in Caqui and Sonoran Rain looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteAwesome concept! Wish they included blushes in this collection though..
