G’mornin’, glory. 🙂
So, PR pics aren’t usually my thing (I’ll take my Canon and a pile of products any day, son!), but with these two new collections from MAC, I had to share.
MAC A Fantasy of Flowers
My inner (wannabe) botanist is super stoked about A Fantasy of Flowers. Its 34 pieces of prettiness arrive online January 30 and at counters February 6 in North America (international babes, it hits your shores in March at all locations except Japan).
The release looks like a veritable botanical garden of gorgeous Mineralize Eye Shadows, Blushes, Skinfinishes, and floral-themed Lipsticks, Cremehsheens and Nail Lacquers, too.
And the blooming doesn’t stop there. The release also features three brushes and a pair of mascaras…but really, you know I’m drooling over the pretty, pretty colors, LOL!
We’ll see six petal-perfect Lipsticks in MAC’s Lustre finish, namely pale creamy peach Fleur d’Coral, neutral sheer nude Naked Bud, sheer reddish-coral Dreaming Dahlia, sheer pastel pink Rose Lily, mid-tone blueish pink Snapdragon and mid-tone berry Heavenly Hybrid ($15 each US, $18 CDN).
And for a finish that shines like morning dew, take a gander at the six gleaming Cremsheens ($20 each US, $23 CDN). Choose from soft pinkish-peach Nectarsweet, mid-tone pinkish beige Flare for Fantasy, frosted cool pink Pagoda, electric magenta Playful Petal, bright orange-coral Star Quality and mid-tone violet pink Galaxy Rose.
But what about eyes and cheeks?
Well, how ’bout a bouquet of shimmer with a bevy of Mineralize Skinfinishes, Pigments and Fluidlines…
Mineralize Eye Shadow ($21 each US, $25 CDN)
- In the Meadow, an icy shimmering white, dirty olive green, golden mint green and pale yellow (frost)
- Pink Sensibilities, a pinkish brown, chocolate brown, yellow pink and icy blue pink (frost)
- Golden Hours, a copper bronze, golden brown, soft golden peach and pale yellow gold (frost)
- Great Beyond, a deep blue violet, dusky plum, icy white lilac and soft mauve violet (frost)
Pigments ($21 each US, $25 CDN)
- Lily White, a pale buttery yellow shimmer
- Chartreuse Bouquet, a shimmering acid green
- Violet, a vivid bright violet purple
- Pink Pearl, a shimmery lavender-pink
Fluidlines ($16 each US, $19 CDN)
- Sassy Moss, a vivid green
- Phlox Garden, q vivid violet
Haute & Naughty Lash in Black ($21 each US, $25 CDN)
- Mineralize Skinfinishes ($30 each US, $35 CDN)
- Perfect Topping, a pale pearlized pink
- Stereo Rose, a copper bronze
Mineralize Blushes ($25 each US, $29.50 CDN)
- Azalea in the Afternoon, a mid-tone cool pink
- Petal Power, a coral pink with gold shimmer
Not even tips or toes were overlooked this time around, as they get four Nail Lacquers. You’ll feel downright floral after painting your paws/claws with creamy light peachy nude Pep Pep Pep, creamy light cool pink Saint Germain, glittery pink Girl Trouble or sparkly light bronzed gold Soiree ($16 US and $19 CDN each).
Oh, and yeah, those brushes…
MAC A Prep + Prime CC Colour Correct
Also coming soon, a new line of Prep + Prime CC Colour Correcting products in liquid, pressed and loose powder form.
They’re not nearly as flashy as A Fantasy of Flowers, but still worth a look if you’re on the market for a color-corrector.
The 12-piece release (I’m not sure if it’s limited or permanent; trying to find out) arrives February 6 to North American MAC counters, stores and online. If you live overseas, mark your calendars for March. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

The blushes! The blushes!! Wait till March? -_- But I can’t wait for your reviews 🙂
Okay so I know where my MAC gift card is going! The colours here are so pretty!!
I only want the red-coral lipstick. I own both MSF and love them, but I don’t need backups (Heck, I have them since many years now and I barely made a dent in them).
I usually love the idea of color correcting stuff, but these shades doesn’t appeal to me. MAC foundations are either too yellow, orangey or pink for me. It’s really hard to find a good olive toned shade in their foundation line, so a olive-beige powder or CC cream would have been nice, or at least a yellow that isn’t neon bright. I prefer adding a drop of liquid corrector in my foundation than adding more layers of makeup on my face to try to get the right shade.
Sorry for the rant! I think I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning! hahah Maybe once I see swatches I will change my mind?!
Surprisingly, I really love the first pink promo photo! The glosses and lipsticks also look hot.
Oh mah lordeh (read this in an old Southern lady voice :-)), I cannot wait for this! 🙂
Overall, A Fantasy of Flowers seems pretty good. The lipsticks and MSFs are probably coming home with me.
Cant wait for this collection! Very spring and beautiful! The petal power blush looks very inviting 🙂
omergerd I’m heading straight for the cc cream!! Can’t wait to try!
I really want Phlox Garden (along with about a billion things from A Fantasy of Flowers), but I’ve not had much success with gel liners in the past. By which I mean that I’ve ended up with a huge amount of goop stuck in my lower lashes and chunky, manky raccoon liner. I know I should skip it, but the colour looks fantastic.
Those lipsticks look so pretty! I can’t wait for swatches. Not that I need any more lipstick, lol.
I like the look of the pigments and fluidlines!
Nice collection.I like the lipsticks and maybe the Golden hours eye shadow. Maybe I’ll use my MAC gift card on something from this collection!
I think I’m going to be broke after this collection…msfs, lustre lipsticks, and creme sheen glasses! I want everything!
These are so pretty.
Aw man I don’t know how to feel about all 6 lipsticks being a lustre. It saves me money but I really liked the colors! Boo! I don’t need anymore lipsticks anyway lol. So it looks like just Perfect Topping for me!
Inwent thru your swatches sYing love it, love it, yep love that one too! Oh and I know I’m not supposed to be noticing the lipcolor in the cc colour correct promo photo…but I love it. Any idea what color that is?
I am really liking the colours of the lip products in the first collection.
I love this!! I love the Prep & Prime already from MAC I just wished it were more product for the $$$ you’re paying <3
Oh my!! These look amazing <3
Perfect colors for Spring! The Cremesheen glasses and cheek products look lovely. Do you have any word on their launch in Japan?
I really like that mineralize skin finish, the one that isn’t Stereo Rose.
Oh boy…. i need (haha yeah like i need more makeup) that golden brown eyeshadow! Looking forward to your swatches and reviews!
