I really hate to sound so dramatic (insert El Hub disagreeing with that statement [HERE]), but if I were forced to enter a Hunger Games Quarter Quell with nothing save the contents of my purse, you better believe that among the survival gear, sharp cutlery and cans of cat food (never know when you’ll meet a feline friend in the arena), you’d also find a MAC Lipglass or two. Or 12. Because there is NO WAY I’m going into a nationally televised fight not wearing any makeup.
No. Way.
Any (or all) of the five new Lipglasses from the new MAC Magnetic Nude collection would do. I could use brick red Hell Bound for serious @ss-kicking, and wear any of the other nudes in the launch for lurking, plotting, or during the tender moments and on-camera contemplation…
Remember the real enemy!!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. I’ve been trying to convince El Hub to take me to see Catching Fire for the third time… A Christmas movie would be great. Wish me luck!
I want all of these lipglasses
Hellbound looks gorgeous in the tube!
They’re all pretty, but I’m kind of drawn to Steel Kiss! Looks weird in the swatch, but pretty on lips.
Overspiced looks too good!! Nice shades ^_^
Steel Kiss looks like different shade and Oh my God Karen you are so much glowing in all the pictures! <3
Oh my darling is the best.
If I have to enter Hunger Games, I will carry my concealer 😉
Oh My Darling (sounds like an Étude House product!) and Steel Kiss are nice!
Karen, of course, looks amazing in all of them! Seriously, how do you do it? 😛
Thank you for reviewing these for us. I hope this Christmas finds you filled with much joy & comfort. You’ve been a beautiful presence all this year & I personally want to thank you for that. I’m so happy I found your blog. It’s truly unique & it’s always filled with beautiful things gracefully written. It’s always a pleasurable read.
Merry Christmas to you & all of our fellow beauty lovers.
Hi Guari,
This was so sweet. Thank you and I hope you had a very Merry Christmas!
gosh, your new hair color is fabulous! so rich and bright. i am bringing your picture to a hair colorist. i can use a bit of change.
oh and brick red is very nice…
Love that plaid shirt! I want Hell Bound lipglass but I need to use up all the glosses I own already.
I want to go around shopping this collection with you. Tabs can fight off all the other crazed chicks and you can tell me exactly what to get, and then apply it for me ;).
I absolutely love the red gloss. Very “Girl On Fire” esque.
Hellbound is the bomb dot com on you! Coupled with your hair color, brows, eyeshadow, & skin tone, that color has a semi-vampy-dewy-glow that works. Thanks for the review
KAREN, what is on the rest of your face / eyes? I NEED TO KNOW, YOU LOOK GORGEOUS.
Thanks Hilary! I actually just filmed a full video tutorial of this look. 🙂 I need to edit the footage, but I’m going to try and post it soon (like in the next week).
You look amazing.! What foundation are you wearing ?
Hi Andrea,
It’s MAC Face and Body. 🙂
Agree–we need to know what else you are wearing here Karen! 🙂 Highligher, blush please pretty please?
Hi Amy,
Blush is MAC Autoerotique and the Highlighter I think is MAC Superb (I have it written down at home…right now I’m visiting with family). I will have a video tutorial of this entire look from start to finish coming soon, so stay tuned for a full breakdown!
Yay for tutorial !! 😉
You loom gorg as always!! Super excited for your tutorial vids!! I’m so happy that your doing these videos!!
