Hey, gals! I was just about to make dinner (linguine with garlicky clams, om nom…) when I came across some pics for two upcoming MAC collections: Too Fabulous (March 4) and Prep for Colour (April 8).

When it comes to more MAC, the clams can wait, LOL!

MAC Prep For Colour

Sheesh! Again with the gray skies? I’m so over winter, ladies. I almost lost my sunny disposition this afternoon until I busted into MAC Spring Colour Forecast, bumped some reggae and pretended I was getting ready for a party at the beach.

It’s a pink, purple, gold and blue eye with coral cheeks and shiny violet lips. For the eyes, I mixed the shimmery pinks and purples from Crush Metal Pigment in Stacked 1 with MAC Pigment in Melon (a shimmery, peachy gold) and Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Jinx (a shimmery teal). Then, I upped the drama with black liner using MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack (a matte black) along my upper lashline and MAC Technakohl Liner in Graphblack on the waterline.

I wanted to make sure my cheeks wouldn’t compete with the eyes, so I went with something semi-matte, in this case MAC Ombre Blush in Ripe Peach (a coral).

The beginning of my relationship with MAC Groundwork Paint Pot ($16.50) was white hot and heavy. Oh, that creamy taupe and gorgeous matte finish… I must have worn it every day for weeks!

But then like most relationships, things cooled, and we started spending more and more time apart (it happens).

When we recently bumped into each other one rainy afternoon, I was rifling through a drawer of makeup at the time.

Hello, good looking.

And the spark was still there.

At first glance, Groundwork doesn’t look like much, but it’s what I like to call a “work horse” shade, the kind of color I’ll wear day after day.

WOW! What a MAC-alicious week… And the hits keep coming, too. Mark your calendars for Feb. 18, MAC fans, because that’s the day MAC Riveting rock ‘n rolls into town.

It’ll be a small release compared to Spring Colour Forecast, with just 14 pieces for lips, eyes, cheeks and nails and a familiar ’80s rock goddess vibe that focuses on sculpted cheeks and lush lashes.

What Tabs wants to know is…

What would you get?

Hi, ladies. Question for you: Are there any MAC Trips in your future? Is an airport in your plans? If you have any trips lined up over the next few months, keep your eyes peeled for MAC’s latest Trip travel exclusives for spring/summer 2010.

WHAT’S A TRAVEL EXCLUSIVE?
Several of the bigger lines like MAC, Clinique and Estee Lauder periodically release limited-edition makeup collections for sale at airports and other travel hubs (domestic and international) that aren’t typically carried in their free-standing stores or counters.

Cremesheen Trio

I have a feeling the members of this neutral lipstick trio will make beautiful music with looks featuring smokey eyes.

• Creme de Nude (a pale, muted peachy beige)
• Speed Dial (a light blueish pink)
• Modesty (a muted neutral pink)

Dazzleglass Trio

Get glossy and *sparkle* with with these shimmery glosses.
