I dread this time of year. During the winter months, Seattle is overcome with darkness and rain. Holiday decorations help take the edge off of the bleak feeling during December, but once they come down… despair!
Not this year, possums! MAC recently launched the Dame Edna collection, a collaboration between MAC and Dame Edna Everage. This collection blows winter doldrums right out of the water with saturated color and sparkle!
When I first caught a glimpse of this collection, I was riveted by the tongue-in-cheek "Varicose Violet" nail lacquer. This bright pinkish purple is an ideal shade to introduce a punch of color into a monochromatic season. Beyond that, it's great for cruise, Spring or Summer!
The Dame Edna Eye Trios feature vibrant shades of blue and purple. I'm nowhere near at glam as Dame Edna, but I'll be lining my eyes routinely with the darker shades in the Royal Tour Eye Trio. This shadow palette pairs two limited edition shades (Dame’s Desire and Royal Tour) with an old favorite, Climate Blue.
My favorite item? The amazing High-Light Powders in peach and pink, with hints of gold introduced through Dame Edna’s signature written on top and lightly sprinkled throughout the product. This product makes the skin positively glow!
MAC Dame Edna cases are bespeckled with images of her famous specs and bedazzled like the Dame's dresses. Adorable! Dame Edna nail lacquer retails for $11, High-Light powders retail for $26, and eye trios retail for $32.50.

More About Freeze
The New Year is here! It's time for resolutions and for putting your best face forward. But too often, jam-packed schedules, daily stress and the passing of time can take a toll on your skin, making you feel less than camera-ready. Thanks to Freeze 24-7, however, this no longer has to be the case: its revolutionary patent-pending Age-Less Technology helps produce a nearly instant visible reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Freeze 24-7's mission is to be on the cutting-edge of product development, uniting the latest scientific and cosmetic advancements to make products that deliver on their promises. In fact, in an independent study, 100% of the respondents (everyone!) experienced a 50-90% visible reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles within ten minutes of a single application. These remarkable results have caught the eyes of leading beauty authorities worldwide and Freeze 24-7 has been featured in numerous magazines and television programs including Bazaar, InStyle, Lucky, Rachel Ray, Fox News and the Today Show.
What is ideeli™?
ideeli is an invitation-only shopping community which creates daily online events providing members with the "ideel" shopping experience: privileged access to the most sought-after brands and products, often at privileged prices.
