Well look who’s just in time for sundresses. 🙂 Hey there, MAC. Wait — let me bare my shoulders before we go outside…

(Actually, now would not be a good time to go gallivanting as it’s storming heavily here; the rain is coming down sideways!)

Come April 7, babes, the bronze will be on — North American MAC counters, that is (internationally some time in April). That’s when the new MAC Bronze Everyday collection beams down.

The release features a mix of old and new MAC bronzing items for face and body. Expect to see repromoted favorites like the Skinsheen Leg Sprays and Lustre Drops alongside new products like Mineralize Skinfinish Natural and the Mineralize Skinfinish Bronzing Powders.

If you miss the release, don’t despair. MAC plans to add everything here to their permanent line.

Here’s a quick look at four things from the 12-piece collection…

MAC Jeanius Lipstick in Pretty Please on lips

Hey, girlie. 🙂 Thought you might like to see a couple of pieces from the upcoming MAC Jeanius Collection in action (arrives March 3 in North America; internationally some time in March).

The denim-inspired collection consists of cool-toned makeup in shades of of blue, gray, silver, black, pink, burgundy and black. Across these pics here, I’m wearing nine of the 16 pieces.

MAC Jeanius products clockwise from lower left: Eye Shadow in Diva in Distress, Eye Shadow in Stovepipe Black, Eye Shadow in Motorhead, Eye Shadow in White Jeanius, Lipglass in Docile, Lipstick in Acid Washed, Lipstick in Pretty Please, Lipstick in Riveting Rose and Blush in Pink Cult

OH, what I wouldn’t give to be able to fit into my acid wash Guess overalls from seventh grade. I’d wear them to the MAC counter on March 3 (with one strap up and one down, of course) to welcome the limited edition MAC Jeanius Collection. 🙂

To any and all denim angels listening, please take pity on my 35-year-old bum. It longs to fit into a pair of size 7 juniors pants.

SIDENOTE: J. Brand 811s are my fall-back plan (petite shorties, you gotta give this cut a try).

Do you recall Chanel Jeans de Chanel?

I’m pretty stoked about MAC’s 16-piece denim-themed collection for eyes, lips, cheeks and nails, even if we’ve seen similar themes like it before.

I still cry myself to sleep at night for missing 2003’s Chanel Jeans de Chanel.

Bobbi Brown Denim & Roses

More recently, there was also last fall’s Bobbi Brown Denim & Roses Collection…

The MAC Riveting Collection

Shoot, even MAC has kindasorta tried jeans on before with last year’s Riveting Collection.

Well, it’s not directly tied to denim, but blue jeans DO have rivets.

Okay, so maybe that’s a stretch…

Even before makeup companies were jumping on the blue jean bandwagon, other companies were doing denim, like Versace with their Blue Jeans Cologne from back in the day ($29.99 at Target).

Even Merle Haggard got in on the action. Remember Make-Up and Faded Blue Jeans?

Whew! It’s been a full on MAC swatch fest here at Casa MBB today. 🙂 Here’s the last of the bunch — six of the 14 new MAC Sheen Supreme Lipsticks ($14.50 each). Smooth, creamy, and with a light vanilla scent and flavor, these new lippes feel a lot like the discontinued MAC Slimshines. Expect to see the Sheen Supremes kissing lips at MAC stores and counters on March 3.
