Once again, MAC surprises me! After the debut of both “Naturally” and the liquid-like metal eyeshadows from their “Metal-X” collection, the 77-Mineral Complex that made Mineralize makeup so good for your skin debuts as a skincare collection!

In the peak of summer, when the temperature is hot, sweltering and almost unbearable, it’s time to head to the ice cream store or indulge in M.A.C.’s Magically Cool Liquid Powder.

This is the time of year when traditional foundation simply won’t do, and that powder compact of yours isn’t cutting the mustard. The new Magically Cool Liquid Powder is a fusion of water and pigment that goes on as a loose powder but –here’s the catch — it’s highly refreshing with an almost mist-like feel. Magically cool liquid powder also …

The colors of spring are finally bursting. M.A.C.’s latest Fashionflower Collection, which hits shelves April 28th, offers the floral and fashionable collection just in time for ladies to capitalize on daisy-debossed beauty powder and shadows.
