MAC Tabloid Beauty

Since the beginning of last month, MAC has been working non stop to release new collections at the rate of once to almost twice a week. While I really do love me some MAC, I am getting a bit tired of the rapid rate of collections. I seem to remember this occuring last year at this time too and getting the same feeling. This latest collection is called Tabloid Beauty and hopefully will work better for me than Riveting ever did. The packaging on this collection is all very bright shades and will make it stand out at the MAC counters. I really do like the limited edition packaging that MAC sometimes does to match their collections, I think it makes the products much more collectable.

From MAC, "Everyone loves the sizzle, the guilty pleasure of getting the gossip and the real story. This lineup is full of outlandish claims and shocking statistics - and they're all TRUE! Our headlines are all amazing, all scientifically proven. Hot off the presses..."

Ok let's go...

I think I am just on MAC overload right now..nothing from this collection is really appealing to me either. I like it more than Riveting but I'm still not a huge fan of the items. Maybe I am just grumpy...I don't know. I like limited edition packagined but after looking at all of these products, I am feeling that it is on the gaudy side. What do I want? I want the Eye Liner in the Rapidblack shade, the Lipcolours in Durashell, Perennial Rose, Lasting Lust, and Unchanging. Also I would like the Prep + Prime Skin Refined Zone. I guess I am just getting overloaded right now with all the new MAC collections.
