This latest collection from MAC is one of the ones that I had been looking forward to since I first read about it early last winter on Specktra.net. It is called Give Me Liberty of London and I have always been obsessed with all things British, so this collection really hits the spot for me! This collection has the most amazing packaging of the last few MAC collections and also has matching accessories for it. I have a feeling that I will be dropping quite a lot of money on these products!"Give me prim. Give me proper. In this colourful collaboration, MAC celebrates Liberty of London's most famous prints. Bloomingly lovely!"

So the accessories didn't excite me quite as much as I had initially thought that they would. But the packaging continues to excite me and will end up making me purchase most of this collection. The Summer Rose Beauty Powder is a perfect example of this concept. It came out last year during A Rose Romance, had a rose pattern stamped on it and I bought it without trying it. Because I was so excited about the rose on it. Now with this collection, it's appeal is not near as big and won't be a purchase since I find the product to be too lightly pigmented.
But what do I want most from this collection? From the eye makeup, I want only Give Me Liberty of London. Now, I am not always a big fan of matte eye shadows but I can see this one working well with many shades that I already own. I don't like either of the blush shades and only want the Beauty Powder in the Shell Pearl shade. From the lipsticks, Blooming Lovely caught my eye immediately and I am dying to see how the greyed-out mauve hue looks on myself. From the Lipglasses, I can see Frankly Fresh vaulting all the way up into Holy Grail status for a natural look or against strong eyes. I also like the shades Perennial High Style and English Accents. To finish it off, I want the nail polish in Blue India.
