Iris Apfel is a style icon and former owner of the textile firm, Old World Weavers. After her and her husband retired from the running of the business, they made major contributions to many art museums and her sense of style inspired one of the greatest exhibits at the Metropolitian Museum of Art. This exhibit has since been picked up by other major museums around the United States and then became a huge success at all the museums.
"Inspired by a rare bird who has always been ahead of her time, MAC presents a colour collection featuring Lipsticks, Beauty Powder, and Eye Shadows with as much flair and joie de vivre as the woman who helped create it...Iris Apfel." This collection looks as though it will contain some major lip shades, especially a great series of reds. And we all know that I love a red lippee more than any other type of beauty look...
Here is the Iris Apfel collection!

Eye Pencil - Eye Pencils are formulated to provide rich, consistent colour using ingredients that have virutally no irritancy potential. They are comfortable to apply and sharpen to a fine point to allow for precise application. Eye Pencils can be used to create a sharp line or a softer, smoky effect. they are long lasting and won't cake or streak.

My favorite pieces of this collection are exactly what I thought that they would be! Some of the lipstick shades are a bit too loud for me, I can't wear the oranges or the corals in this collection. The reds are the best, with my favorite red being Scarlet Ibis. The colored eye shadows are too much for me but How Zat is a great shade for a smoky eye. This is more of a winter collection, I can't see myself pulling many of these shades off in the spring so I will only pick up the two products that I mentioned above and use them for the next month or two and then again in the fall.
