MAC Love That Look: The Eyes Have It
Fri, 07/17/2009 by Karen | Posted in: MAC Makeup
“Smile with your eyes,” as Tyra might say. 
MAC must have had the same idea, because this month’s Love That Look collection is all about the eyes.
Love That Look brings 12 limited edition Starflash Eye Shadows ($14.50) and four Pearlglide Eye Liners ($14.50) to counters July 30, introducing a few new shades and re-promoting some previously released colors as well.

Nice to see you again
With their pearlescent finish (opalescent + pearl) the Starflash Eye Shadows have been driving me and many of my fellow MAC fans a little nuts since they first arrived last summer.

They join the four Pearl Glide Eye Liners — Black Russian, Rave, Molasses and Fly-By-Blue — which debuted last fall as part of the Suite Array collection.
The Pearl Glide pencils apply soft and creamy, showing off a shimmery finish, and if you missed any of them the first time around, MAC is giving us another chance.

Sneak peak: Fashion Groupie and Ego
I haven’t seen the entire Love That Look collection yet, but I have gotten up close and personal with two of the 12 Starflash Eye Shadow shades.
Swatches from left to right: Fashion Groupie, Ego
Fashion Groupie’s a frosty, light blue-violet; Ego applies as a frosty, light yellowish pink.
Both shadows feel finely milled to me — almost creamy to the touch — and have that trademark Starflash finish.
Looks like the eyes have it. I can’t wait to see more.
Friday, score!
What are you up this afternoon? Any plans for the weekend? I have an appointment to attend one of those free Chanel Master classes at a Macy’s nearby, but that’s about it. I hope we’re able to play with the fall Venice collection, WHEE!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

A must have for me. Unfortunately I’m a little broke as I’ll be missing a week’s worth of pay :-\ Switching jobs is never fun.

Have fun at the class! I am hoping to go to the Farmer’s Market at the Embarcadero tomorrow and maybe go see a movie. My Sisyer’s Keeper looks like a good one.

Happy Friday, Karen! I can’t wait to see the rest of the eyeshadows in this collection!
This afternoon I did some damage at MAC; I got the 131 brush and cheeky bronze and smooth merge MSFs. I wanted fab-dabulous and triple fusion as well, but I resisted! I think my husband would faint if he knew I spent $40 on a makeup brush…
I don’t have much going on this weekend – my main goals are to see harry potter and play with my new 131!

Oh I have been looking for a violet eyeshadow and I think I may have found it!! Ego isn’t so bad either but I think it looks like one of my eyeshadows already
10. Patti said, on July 17th, 2009:
Btw Karen,
I got MAC cheeky bronze which you recommended on another post and I am so loving it!!
Thanks for the heads up!
11. Kajal Couture said, on July 17th, 2009:
Pretty! Fashion Groupie looks sort of like Circa Plum from A Rose Romance collection. I totally missed out on the Starflash’s last year so I am super excited about this one!

I will be picking up some of the new colours but I’m most excted about getting a backup of Smoke & Diamonds!
13. Anastasia said, on July 17th, 2009:
Mmmm loving Fashion Groupie. MAC is determined to break me. I am totally loving two of the Colourcraft lippies, and want nearly ALL of the gorgeous Jin Soon nail varnishes that are coming out in August. I need a second job to pay for my addiction heh he
Thanks for the swatches Karen!
14. lexi said, on July 17th, 2009:
YAY – molasses is back – that was my favorite item from that collection! I do like this finish so i may have to check out Fashion Groupie. I am having a plum moment right now!

Hi Shontay,
Me too! What do you think I should wear it with?
17. Karen said, on July 18th, 2009:
Hi Glosslizard,
Yay! Which ones did you come home with?
18. Karen said, on July 18th, 2009:
Hi Marmar,
Congrats on your new gig! What’s your new job?
19. Karen said, on July 18th, 2009:
Hi Vampy Varnish,
It sounds yummy. Can’t wait to see it.
Girl, I could use a hot tub right now. My back is killing me!
20. Karen said, on July 18th, 2009:
Hi Marisol,
Have fun at the Farmer’s Market. Hope you snag some good fruit (yum).
21. Karen said, on July 18th, 2009:
Hi Kailey,
It’s really pretty, yah?
22. Karen said, on July 18th, 2009:
Hi Tiffany,
The 131 is worth every penny. I’ve been using it practically every day and love it!
Have you had a chance to play with it yet?
Eeek… Triple Fusion is calling my name, too!
23. Karen said, on July 18th, 2009:
Hi Marina,
It should be a lot of fun. Hopefully I’ll snag a few great tips.
24. Karen said, on July 18th, 2009:
Hi Patti,
Yay! It has a really pretty pearlescent quality that I’m guessing a lot of women will love.
Are you a purple eyeshadow kinda girl?
25. Karen said, on July 18th, 2009:
Hi Patti,
Oh, that’s great!
Isn’t it perfect for those minimal makeup days? What brush do you use to apply it?
26. Karen said, on July 18th, 2009:
Hi Kajal Couture,
Oh yah… it does have some Circa Plum-ness to it.
Got any plans for the weekend?
27. Karen said, on July 18th, 2009:
Hi Cloudburst,
Oh yah! I have that one, too. Love it.
28. Karen said, on July 18th, 2009:
Hi Anastasica,
Sure thing.
Which Colour Craft lipsticks are ya lovin’ on? I hope one of ‘em is Madly Creative!
29. Karen said, on July 18th, 2009:
Hi Lexi,
Sweet! You should be totally set for fall.
You know what I’ve been loving lately? Plum and gold.
30. Karen said, on July 18th, 2009:
Hi Gio,
I know! I can’t wait to see the rest of the release.
31. Pia said, on July 18th, 2009:
I’m going to grab fly by blue this time! I adore pearlglides!
32. Rachel said, on July 19th, 2009:
I like how they look in the pots. They look more matte there. When swatched they look pretty frosty and that is not mah thing. Like the peach looks just like a frosty ballet pink on the skin.
33. meg said, on July 19th, 2009:
Really pretty! I think they may be too opalescent for me though. I still love seeing pics either way!

34. Karen said, on July 19th, 2009:
Hi Meg,
It’s nice to meet you! Are you a MAC fan, too?
35. Karen said, on July 19th, 2009:
Hi Rachel,
I guess the Starflashes aren’t for everyone. Good thing there’s a lot of finishes from MAC to choose from, right?
36. lexi said, on July 19th, 2009:
Hey Karen,
Yes I am feeling you BIG time on the Plums/Gold!
