Because if it is, “OH, HELL YEAH!!” Paws up for mythical creatures, yo. 🙂
Bright colors, bad@ss mythical beasts and playful prints are the perfect pick-me-ups on cloudy days like today, and the MAC BollyDoll makeup bag (and brush kit) collection is almost as potently positive as coffee.
Rough and choppy says what now?
Thanks for the hair help in the comments yesterday. The curling iron did the trick! I used one on my new ‘do this morning and was able to get the rough and choppy look I wanted. 🙂
Kiss & Make-up says
It’s so… un-MAC! lol 🙂 But I do like the designs. What I like even more though is your new ‘do.
Karen says
I love that they do stuff that you don’t expect from them, ya know?
And thanks re: the new hair! When I used the flat iron to curl it I swear the clouds parted, LOL!
Happy Tuesday to you. What are you up to today?
Ruchita says
I love the designs on those makeup bags! Very colorful and unique.
Karen says
Me too. 🙂 Now if only they had one with cats on it…
Happy Tuesday to you! How’s work going today?
Ruchita says
Hehe, I was thinking the same thing about a cat one. 🙂 I think the elephant one is my favorite. It sort of has an Indian vibe to it.
Work is kinda slow this time of year because a lot of people are on vacation. It’s kind of nice because I know things will definitely pick up next year. Happy (Tabby) Tuesday! Hope the boss isn’t working you too hard. 🙂
Karen says
I like that one too. I have an ornament on my tree (a pink elephant) that matches it perfectly. 🙂
When I worked in SF one thing that I loved about the holidays was how everyone would bring in homemade treats all throughout December. Every morning I’d go into the break area and find all sorts of yummy sweets to eat. Does your office do anything like that?
Tabs is doing great today. He’s a little feisty because of the new tree. I caught him last night swatting at some ornaments. And this morning he took a long nap underneath the branches. I’m convinced that he thinks we get one every year solely for his entertainment.
Ruchita says
Sometimes people will bring in treats, but not too often. That’s probably a good thing, since I have a major sweet tooth. 🙂
This is the first year I’ve put up a tree with the cats and they’ve been great. They enjoy laying under the tree, but they haven’t been interested in the ornaments or climbing the tree.
MonicaP says
A really fun and playful print!
Monica.
Karen says
So fun! I wish I had a scarf with the pink elephant print.
Hope you’re having a nice day! It’s cold and dreary here in Nor Cal…
MonicaP says
There’s a bit of a hazy off the coast .. I can see the Coronado Bridge from my office window (downtown San Diego).
Yup, it’s a nice view – not complainin’ lol
Monica
Karen says
I know that bridge! I’ve spent lots of time in San Diego and enjoy it very much. It’s beautiful town! How long have you been living there?
MonicaP says
Probably about 18 yrs .. woah, long time 😉

Agata says
The bags are cute, I agree, not very typical of Mac.
Your hair looks fantastic!! I have tried using a straightener to create a wavy look so many times but it never works for me. I must be doing something wrong. But you’re making me want to chop my hair, lol.
Karen says
Thank you! Using the straightener is really easy. I think the trick is to use a straightener that gets kind of warm on the outside of the plates and has a rounded edge. Those types seem to hold the curl better. 🙂
Agata says
You’re very welcome. Are you happy with that hair change?
I am using a GHD straightener, it does get hot and it does have rounded edges. It just doesn’t work for me, lol.
Debra says
Positively medieval!! Griffins, yes!
What are the dimension on these things?
Ya know I grow my hair to that length every year-and-a-half and then I cannot tolerate the heavy drape on my neck in the brutal heat of summer and so I go pixie!
I need more heat-tolerance.
Sunny here in more northern Calif. Which means I have to clean the bathroom. Me no likee cleaning tile in the cold damp weather. So you see, drizzly has its purpose!!
The hurr looks good!
Karen says
Please send some sun this way! I’m over the clouds, bah!
I’m getting they’re 8 by 5? That’s just eyeballing it.
Trisha says
Yay! Cute new hair! I love it. 😀
Those cases are so cute. I think I like the elephant one the best.
Karen says
Thanks, Trisha! Happy Tuesday. How’s your day going so far?
LindaLibraLoca says
Looks great, your new do. Megan Fox will be so jealous when she stops by to get her daily dose of beauty.
Karen says
LOL! I hope she leaves a comment for Tabs. 🙂 They worked together on Transformers, after all.
LindaLibraLoca says
Of course she will.
No actress ever will be able to forget him.
Allison C says
Oh, how gorgeous and how uncharacteristic of MAC! I love ’em. And I love your new shorter hair 🙂
Karen says
Hi Allison,
Super pretty bags, right? I wish they had more designs.
And thank you regarding the hair. 🙂
Happy Tuesday!
Kim says
Your hair is adorable! I also can’t tell you how many times I misread BollyDoll as BabyDoll. I actually can tell you. Every.Single.Time. Not sure what’s going on with the brain today! 🙂
Karen says
Haha! Maybe your brain needs a pick-me-up? I vote for jumpstarting it with some chocolate. 🙂
Kim says
Definitely! The office was sent a ton of Trader Joe snacks by one of our sales reps and I’ve been hitting them hard. I think it’s salt/carb/fat overload. HAHA!
Iris says
Nice! I’m looking for a new makeup bag and love birds. I’ll have to take a look at these!
Karen says
Hi Iris,
I think you’ll like these bags. They have a really pretty sheen finish that makes them look luxurious.
Happy Tuesday!
Shanie says
Oh my, I absolutely love them! I love Indian style prints, they are so delightfully cheery. I really do not need another make up bag but I NEED those prints in my life!
Erin says
Kinda has a Babylonian feel to it.
kwmechelle says
Super cute hair. And bags as well. Sad that I missed out on Gunner (lippie) from the Nasty Gal Collection, which is totally off topic, I know. But your blog was the first place I spotted that lippie and now I’m kicking myself for not jumping on it sooner.
In other news, have you tried those brushes from the Bolly Doll Collection? Inquiring minds would like to know how they perform 🙂
Chelsea says
Love the bags! Especially the elephants. Your hair looks great! Mine is about the same length right now, but not nearly as thick.
Elena says
Do I need it? No. Do I want it? Yes. Love the griffin print makeup bag!!! I have so many makeup bags from Gifts with Purchase and makeup sets though it is ridiculous!
Megs says
What brushes are in the brush kit? Do they have the MAC numbers on the handle? Are they special brushes?
Genesis says
Your hair look gorgeous!
Kelly says
I really love how they branched out with the look of this collection-very unique!
