Who love off a M.A.C Christmas Collection? *raises hand*

Seems like I could be vex wid M.A.C six thousand times but I gine still look to see what they're releasing. This year, I feel dem #updeting


Gorgeous packaging. Improved eyeshadow formulas. Improved special edition brush quality. Did I mention the packaging? The only thing I could complain about is the ridiculously low stock sent of certain items.



I was able to see the collection in Miami before it reached local counters. This was a great opportunity since M.A.C never sends the entire collection to the Caribbean. Being a M.A.C head, I already knew what I wanted that wouldn't be available locally.

The hot ticket items this year were the single eyeshadows. 'Stylishly Merry' in particular; all now I kicking myself for not ordering one. The next big thing was that M.A.C re-released Whisper of Gilt. This time though in a set that also contained a cosmetic bag and a short handled brush.

Heyyyyyaaaa Mavenz

All is well? Good, lots to say about this one so here we go!

What I love about the show is the vibe. There is a vast amount of makeup, brands of all sorts. But let’s start at the beginning shall we?

Why I Went

This trip came about out of a necessity for product and information. It was impossible for me to attend the New York (NY) edition of The Makeup Show (TMS) because of Aniyah, she was still quite young at the time and frankly, the expense was too great. So, when the offer was extended to accompany a friend of mine to the show in June, I jumped at the chance. For two reasons: 1) I had never been to Atlanta and, 2) I wanted to experience a Pop Up Shop to see if it was just as intimate and in depth as the regular Makeup Show.
