Continuing along with my MAC Spring Colour Forecast reviews… Colour 2 is–fittingly–my 2nd favorite color collection from Spring Colour Forecast. Filled with corals, pinks, and even hints of orange… the overall feel of the collection is happy and ever-so-Springlike!
My absolute favorite products from this color family are the eye shadows: Perky (a light salmon pink) and Straw Harvest (a frosty light yellow orange). The colors compliment each other perfectly, and mimic a beautiful Springtime sunrise.
Retail price per eye shadow is $14.50.

Above is an the brand new LipFusion Capsule Collection which Kim is a big fan of especially because of its amazing charitable component. The “Luxe Boudoir” collection consists of four new vibrant LipFusion Color Shine glosses with shimmer effect to commemorate FusionBeauty and Seven Bar Foundation’s “Kiss Away Poverty” campaign where one dollar of every sale of LipFusion Color Shine, LipFusion Clear and LipFusion Infatuation glosses is donated to the organization to help empower women to get out of poverty through microfinance.

Bobbi Brown asked makeup devotees to submit videos of their top beauty tips and Pretty Powerful stories. Fifteen semifinalists were chosen and have created a second round of videos demonstrating flawless and flattering makeup applications using Bobbi Brown Cosmetics’ Color Strips Palettes. The gallery of these semifinalists’ videos is open for voting TODAY!
Most importantly, however, is that for every vote cast (up to $10,000), Bobbi Brown Cosmetics will donate $1 to Dress for Success, an organization close to Bobbi’s heart that provides underprivileged women with interview suits and career development advice. To vote, head over to www.bobbibrowncosmetics.com/prettypowerful.
Of course, Bobbi will also have some say. Once the public has voted and narrowed down the selection to the top 5 videos, she will hand-pick three grand prize winners to be flown to New York to join her for a master makeup class. Lucky them!
During the holiday season, I updated you frequently with the amazing steals and deals over at LORAC. I’m a fan of the brand, so I’m naturally glad to inform you that currently you will receive a FREE BURNING LOVE EYE SHADOW TRIO with every $25 Purchase exclusively at www.loraccosmetics.com, while supplies last!
This trio of shimmering rose and bronze shades includes a highlighter, base and crease color for creating the perfect sun-kissed look. Celebrity Makeup Artist and Creator of LORAC, Carol Shaw, has used it on her celeb clients!
Part of MAC Cosmetics Spring Colour 4 Forecast, Bronzilla Lipstick is my absolute favoritelipstick from the entire MAC Spring 2010 Colour Forecast collection. That’s saying a LOT. Did you know the collection contains 12 different lipstick shades? Egads!
This slightly darker than nude shade is laced with a sizzling metallic finish. Bronzilla goes with positively everything, is on-trend, and delivers rich lasting color!
Gold Dust Lipglass is a sheer gloss that leaves just a hint of shimmery gold on the lips. While you can certainly use it stand-alone (it would be a magnificent addition to your beach tote), I love to apply it over lipstick to add more depth and interest.
Retail price is $14 for Bronzilla Lipstick and $14 for Gold Dust Lipglass.

Since I boldly proclaimed MAC Spring Colour Forecast 4 as my favorite of the bunch… I figured it made sense for me to begin my makeup reviews here! The top image is from MAC, of the entire collection. The photo below it is mine, of the products that I sampled. I’ll state it plainly… I love each and every one of these four products, and recommend them ALL highly!
The Eyeshadow x4 compact contains the following (starting from top left): Manila Paper (pale frosted white gold), Flip (bronze gold), Aztec Brick (frosted true copper) and Creole Beauty (frosted dark golden brown). My favorite way to apply these shadows is as follows: 1) Apply Manila Paper on lids, 2) Apply Flip from crease up to browbone, 3) Apply Aztec Brick in crease and 4) Use Creole Beauty as an accent (upper and lower lashline). This shadow quad has quickly become my “go-to” Spring makeup pick for its versatility (skip the darker shades for a more casual look, or use them for more drama). I also LOVE the magnetic closure on the palette!
The latest limited-edition introduction by MAC is a smash hit. The gradient design of Blush Ombre in Springshine makes the product so versatile! Swirl it to use as a bronzer, or just for a touch of tan on the cheeks. Or, use the darker section for contouring, and the paler section for highlighting! Either way, you end up with a sun-kissed look that is most welcome!
Retail price is $25 for Springshine Blush Ombre, and $36 for Eye Shadow x4 Colour 4.

Four color stories, and four distinct moods captured in the form of cosmetics! Known for their breadth of product selection and depth of color options, the MAC Spring Colour Forecast is a dizzyingly immense collection even by MAC standards… and–while well loved–was quite a homework assignment for me! In the coming days, I’ll be posting reviews and swatches of products from each of the four makeup groups.
Spring Colour Forecast by MAC Cosmetics contains four different sub-collections: Coral, Pink/Lavender, Yellow/Gold and Plum/Burgundy… The collection also includes two new limited-life introductions: Crush Metal Pigment and Blush Ombre.
What do I love most about this collection? Sampling different colors from each of the groups, I learned something interesting about my personal makeup preferences. While I assumed after a quick glance that Spring Colour Forecast 2 would obviously be my favorite, sampling the products has me wholeheartedly endorsing Spring Colour Forecast 4 as the “must-have” pick for Spring. Filled with shimmery nudes, subtle bronzes and sheer golds… it’s easy to make these shades work for just about any style or complexion.
