MAC Heavenly Creature Overview

Heavenly Creature is the first big release for the fall season from MAC.  Every year, this company releases an early fall collection that focuses around a huge release of new Mineralize products and shades.  Last year, the collection was Semi-Precious, a huge collection centering around rich hues for the lips and eyes, inspired by all types of semi-precious stones.  Semi-Precious was a huge release for the counter that I frequent, within less than a week of the release, almost every single product was sold out and the counter manager still had not been told if she would be getting any type of restock on the products.  A restock of some of the Mineralize items eventually came in but not soon enough to quench the public's thirst for Mineralize.

Heavenly Creature consists of two major parts, a big colour collection and a skincare collection.  We will start with the skincare collection today and then go into the colour parts tommorrow.  MAC skincare products can be overlooked very easily since the company is much more well known for their makeup items.  This skincare line up does include one of the best-selling limited edition skincare pieces, the Volanic Ash face wash.  This product has been included in several limited edition collections already and hopefully will make the skincare products much more noticeable in this collection. 
The colour collection focuses on the Mineralize eye products, nine new shades that will sell out within days of the collection release.  As of right now, this collection is available only online and you will want to decide exactly what you want and get in touch with counters beforehand and get your pre-orders in.  I have come to the conclusion that pre-orders are the way to go with major MAC releases, as they have been the only way that I can always get exactly what I want each time.  The lip shades in this collection are all nice but they take a major backseat to the eye makeup, when purchasing shades in this collection, all the focus will be on your eye makeup look and the rest of your features will need to come second.

As I stated above, following upon the heels of this overview will be a look at the limited edition skincare products that will be introduced with this collection and then tommorrow we will look at the Colour products.  What am I most excited about?  The Mineralize Eye Shadows of course!  I have never really been into the Mineralize products from MAC but somehow the big Mineralize collection that comes out at this time every year always manages to get me excited!
