I keep wanting to say “MAC Bao Bao wow!” because of Forbidden Sunrise, the head-turning, heartbreaking, traffic-stopping bright orange lipstick that basically has all the good stuff I like in a bold lipstick.
Lavender Jade is no slouch, either. Powerfully pigmented and oh, so purple.
Here are more pics and swatches of the MAC Bao Bao Wan collection Lipsticks ($17.50 each; here are three of the four in the collection) and Beauty Powder ($28), which are available now on the MAC website, at MAC counters and in stores Bao Bao now.
Bao Bao WOW!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. What are you up to tonight? I just got back from a Costco run to get fruit. Seriously, I must have gotten 20 pounds of fruit, and I can’t wait to start eating it. I’ve been getting back into breakfast smoothies lately, so I got some Fuji apples, red grapes, blueberries, pomegranate seeds (mostly for salads) and bananas.
Now I’m gonna put on my jammies and watch Millionaire Matchmaker on the couch with Tabs. 🙂
(El Hub is also invited.)

I’m loving this collection so much! I bought three lipsticks (not Romantic Breakdown), the eye shadow palette & beauty powder/ highlight. Surprisingly, I’m loving Lavender Jade on myself! Looks great on you too! 🙂
Savannah says
Wow! Stunning looks! You look amazing!
Jen says

Fancie says
Your skin has been looking amazing lately! I received my Summer Opal in the mail and I just love it so far. It’s so pretty! The lipsticks turned out to be quite beautiful too. I love how Forbidden Sunrise looks on you! I’m starting to second guess my decision to skip it lol

Karen you look positively radiant with the orange lip and bronzed skin! None of these lipsticks have caught my eye but I love the look of the frosted packaging!
Tracy says
Wow. Just wow. I am probably passing on this collection myself cause I don’t think anything is going to work on me but these (especially the lipsticks) are all just STUNNING on you. Super jealous, over here!
Kiss & Make-up says
That orange looks amazing! <3 And it doesn't make your teef' look yellow! Seriously, I just realized what a stunning white smile you have. Tell us your secret, Karen!
Kim says
Yeah, my Romantic Breakdowns were never that pretty. HAHA! Speaking of fruit, I’ve been obsessed with Brookside’s Dark Chocolate Acai Blueberry snacks. I can NOT stop eating them. And I don’t even like chocolate very much, or any sweets really. Have you tried these things? If not, my advice is DON’T. I don’t want you falling into their trap, too. 🙂
PS Happy Friday!
Erin says
Love the colors on you but I think everything is too warm here for me.

I’m passing on this collection since I just got Miley last month & RiRi2 before that. But there seriously are some pretty pieces in this collection. If I had my way, I’d say budget be #damn*d and get this for the packaging alone 🙂

Those lipsticks are so pretty!

I don’t think I know of many who can rock a purple lipstick and not look like a joke…take a bow, Karen!
Tulipthecat says
Boo….it’s sold out online. I wanted to get Forbidden Sunrise!
Priscilla says
