Your first Selena fun fact of the day: One rainy spring day during my senior year in college, I sat, bawling my eyes out, while parked in my red Honda Civic listening to Selena sing I Could Fall in Love on the radio. LIKE, FULL-ON EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN IN MY VEHICLE.
Don’t mind me! I’m just crying in my car! ?
Your second Selena fun fact of the day: The new MAC Selena La Reina collection is available now on the MAC website, and it’s a follow-up to the MAC Selena collection released in 2016. (Wow, it’s been four years already?)
The new collection is BIGGER! — and unlike the 2016 release, it leans toward lip products, with three liquid lipsticks, four lipsticks, three glosses and two lip pencils. (There is also an eyeshadow palette, a very Chanel-esque highlighter and a bejeweled bag.)
Plenty to make your heart sing. ????

What do you think? I’m diggin’ the lipsticks and liquid lipsticks… Those are some classic, wearable colors. Nothing too “out there” or flashy. As for the red eyeshadow in the palette, I don’t see myself wearing it often at all, but I’d sure as heck get down with the warm browns and bronzes (BIG surprise, LOL).
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

This collection is sooo pretty! I bought the two red lippies, the brown lipstick and the palette. I love that they put Dazzleshadows in the palette! I wanted the bag but it was sold out in 2 seconds. 🙁
It’s wonderful they continue to honor La Reina with this beautiful, accessible collection. Yeah, nothing out-of-this world as far as the colors and some of the finishes feel outdated to me but I know this palette would look very flattering on a wide range of skin tones.
Now they need to bring back some Aaliyah. 😉
This is such a pretty collection. Better than the first one.
By the time I was allowed to shop the collection on the site, most of what I wanted was gone. I did score two lipsticks, Queen of Cumbia and Selena Vive. Yes, I’m going to wear red lipstick while working from home!
Wow! ? This collection looks so pretty!!! The eyeshadow palette is lovely as are the lipsticks! Packaging is beautiful too! Would love a Make-up look on your pretty face, Karen! ??
I could be full on w Selina lipstick ?
