MAC Dame Edna



More MAC! I heard about the Dame Edna line several months ago on a Makeup Alley board but somehow managed to forget about it in all the hype surrounding Hello Kitty. But it is up and on the site and should be out in stores right now too. My first thought when hearing about this new line was “Who wants to look like Dame Edna? This could be very scary.” Now that I can look at it? One word sums it up…Why? Really MAC, Why? Blue eye shadow and bright lipstick are quite the combination and manage to make me slightly ill.


To be fair, let’s have the description from the MAC website, “”Hallo Possums!” As mirthfully minx-like and tongue-in-cheek as her dazzling persona, Dame Edna’s eponymous limited-edition colour collection reveals the wit of her makeup passions…like out muse, it’s spectacular”!”


Dame Edna: Royal Tour Eye Trio - A set of three eye shadows in an over the top mauve compact featuring holographic stars and Dame Edna’s iconic spectacles in sparkling red glitter. This compact features two new limited-edition shades: Dame’s Desire and Royal Tour with the bring-back Climate Blue.


Dame Edna: Wisteria Eye Trio - A set of three eye shadows in an over the top mauve compact featuring holographic stars and Dame Edna’s iconic spectacles in sparkling red glitter. Features two new limited-edition shades: Wisteria and Divine Night with bring-back Fineshine

Dame Edna High-Light Powder - A high-light powder in an over-the-top mauve compact featuring holographic stars and Dame Edna’s iconic spectacles in sparkling red glitter.
- Spectacle - pale soft pink
- What a Dame! - pale clean orangey-peach


Nail Lacquer - Revolutionary new high gloss formula. Three long-wearing finishes, Cream, Sheer, and Frosted. Visibly different. Provides no-streak/no-chip finish. Contains conditioners and UV protectors.
- Varicose Violet - frosty mid-tone pinkish purple
- Asiatique - creamy classic red


Horrid, just horrid. I want NOTHING. I am glad that this collection is limited edition and hopefully it will just fade away. I think I can safely say that I dislike every single color in this collection. However, I must admit that I do find the packaging to be amusing and kinda on the cute side. But this whole collection is just a huge NO for me.
