Another year, another gaggle of gorgeous (and some not so gorgeous) makeup collections. There sure were some doozies this year. Innovative products, imaginative color palettes and provocative imagery propelled several ahead of the pack.
Some, like the MAC Fabulous Felines collection, really resonated with me and my cat lady soul (didn’t the three color stories for Felines make such perfectly good sense?). It also introduced me to the awesome MAC Superslick Liquid Eye Liners. Tabs and I still purr when we think about the Fab Felines release…
I also went coco for the chocolate browns and playful pinks in the Chanel Les Tentations de Chanel Holiday 2010 collection, but I think I still preferred Fab Felines overall.

VOTE: Chanel Fall 2010 makeup collection
I loved the smokey eye shadow Taupe Gris and the Quad in Enigma and Paradoxal was one of my favourite polish releases of the year. The Rouge Coco’s and Glossimers were to die for too.

Vote: Fabulous Felines. Basing a launch off the colour and attitude of cats was brilliant. Great lipsticks too.
Note. My cats want to vote as well. Three paw prints for Fabulous Felines.
Meg says
VOTE: Chanel Fall 2010

VOTE: MAC To the Beach Collection.
The vibe it set for this summer was just perfect for Summer 2010 with all the bright, sunshiney corals and then the colorful ocean colors. It matched perfectly with my summer, thats for sure.

VOTE: MAC To The Beach!
Loved the packaging.. it was released the day that I was leaving for vacation and I just had to drop by the store to pick up a few things before!
Brian McD aka Roulette says
VOTE: Venomous Villains
My original thought was Venomous Villains because of how exciting of a launch it was and how much $$$ I spent, but looking back, I think it was probably MAC to the Beach because I really love tan glowing skin and corals and bright colors the most..then THAT makes me think of the really bright Lady Gaga inspired Dare to Wear eyeshadows and glitter glosses of which I bought almost everything too….but then I think of what items I really wear the most regularly, and THAT brings me to the cremesheen glosses released with In the Groove (also a large haul)!!! Wow what a tough decision.
I spent a reDONKulous amount of money on MAC this year. They should personally thank me. All of my freelance paychecks pretty much get all turned right back in to them. LOL. My vote is for…..VENOMOUS VILLAINS for the most hype-worthy launch in years. A definate stand out in a year of really terrific products and launches. This launch was full of exciting colors, great stories, and innovative products. Whoever thought of co-branding these products in this way really deserves a raise…or their own small island nation to rule. It really rallied even the softest of MAC fans to join in the fun of emulating some of the greatest villains in ALL of movie history really…a tough challenge! Go MAC in 2011! 🙂

VOTE: MAC VENOMOUS VILLAINS
This is tough though, because Fabulous Felines and To the Beach were also really awesome collections! I’m actually wearing the Burmese Beauty quad today! I thought MAC had several big winners this year, even the smaller Pret a Papier was quite dangerous for me, and In the Groove was great too!

Spring Forecast was freakin huge and very wearable. I loved all the lip glasses, lipsticks and the quads were amazing. Wasn’t crazy about anything else by Mac this year…can’t wait for the Wonder Woman collection, hopefully it isn’t a let down!
Maria Goddard says
VOTE: To The Beach
I was severely disappointed in Venemous Villains otherwise it would have had my vote – It was overhyped and they underdelivered. 🙁
I LOVED almost everything about To The Beach, the colours, the finishes, EVERYTHING!
