MAC Baroque Boudoir

MAC has just released their newest color collection this week for Holiday, called Baroque Boudoir. This collection has been eagerly awaited by many of the writers of the beauty blogs, even more so than Magic, Mirth, and Mischief's color collection. This collection is considered to look very Dita Von Teese and that has sparked everyone's interest. At first glance, this collection appears to be more geared toward night parties and getting really dressed up to go out. Let's check this long-awaited collection out and see if it was worth the wait and the hype.

MAC describes the collection as follows, "Decadent, luxurious...liaisons get even more dangerous with formulas for lips and face, and the haute-style clutch of this baroque-inspired collection. Sate your taste for something modern, yet ornate".

Here we are...

Baroque Boudoir Lipstick - A Lipstick designed exclusively for the Baroque Boudoir collection. A polished silver case features two belle epoque-style motifs - one black and one frosted. The luxurious formula provides medium-to-full coverage for a look that's soft, rich, and lustrous. Wear alone or pair with Baroque Boudoir Lip Gloss. Limited Edition.

Baroque Boudoir Lip Gloss - A Lip Gloss designed exclusively for the Baroque Boudior collection.

Baroque Boudoir Compact Sheer Mystery Powder - A Sheer Mystery Powder making its appearance as part of the Baroque Boudoir collection. Designed as a special keepsake collectable, this luxurious, round polished silver-finished compact features two belle-epoque style motifs - one black, one frosted - that create a unique and coveted look. An ideal complement to the silky soft, velvety, and slightly luminous finish of the Sheer Mystery Powder. Limited Edition. Product packaged with pressed powder in compact and one refill.

Boudoir Clutch - A makeup-evening style clutch designed to reflect the style and chic of the Baroque Boudoir collection. Lavish in appearance, the shiny, fashionably crinkled pewter-grey fabric is gathered into its silver metal clasp, creating a look of high elegance. Limited Edition.

This is one MAC collection that utterly lives up to all the hype surrounding it, this is amazing both in colors and in packaging. The containers that house this makeup are among the most amazing that I have come across in years and will attract crowds of people to the MAC counters. I want all of the Lip Gloss shades and the Light Medium Sheer Mystery Powder. I would also like to get the Prive Lipstick but not quite as much as a I want the Lip Glosses. I added the official collection picture in the upper corner becasue this packaging simply must be seen, I can't fully put it into words.

A hit from MAC!
