I think I may have told you this before, so if I have, please bear with me…but if I haven’t, well, welcome to the crazy! 🙂
I like to change the lyrics to songs and sing them to Tabs, and one of those songs is Mariah Carey’s Touch My Body.
Love me some Mimi!
Anyway, I can’t sing it anymore without picturing Tabs rolling around on his back showing off his tummy in slow-mo (I know you can see it too), because Touch My Body is his theme song. When I sing it to him, it goes, “Touch Tabs’ body, give him some food… Give him food and love!”
Honestly, I don’t even know what the real lyrics are at this point…
These are the things that cray-cray cat ladies do.
It wouldn’t be a Mimi makeup collection without glamour, glitter and sparkle, and there’s plenty of it in the MAC Mariah Carey collection.
This one’s a beauty, babe. Easily one of my holiday faves this year. I guess MAC saved the best for last!
Here’s a first look with thoughts and swatches. I’m wearing the collection on my eyes, cheeks and lips in this video, too (the items I’m wearing are listed below), so if you have any Qs, let me know in the comments.

Karen says
Hi Annemarie,
Isn’t this collection a beauty?! I love it too. How are you and Rose doing? It’s raining here today in Novato so no outside time for Tabs today (he’s quite the diva when it comes to wet paws).
Annemarie Harrison says
Karen,
Hi. I don’t get excited about a lot of the limited collections from MAC–they’re just not my thing, but I could buy just about every item in this one!
I know what you mean about wet paws–Rose is the same way!
It’s a little chilly here this afternoon and I have been busy with projects inside so Rose has been luxuriating on top of(and underneath) my new silk quilt from West Elm….Life is good 🙂
Denise S says
So pretty! I like the packaging. I’m not impressed with the eyeshadow colors. The blushes and lip glosses look pretty. Love how your skin looks with the shimmer powder, but I wouldn’t use it much based on how often I use the shimmer powders I already own.
Denise S says
Gotta Shake It Off is my favorite Mariah Carey song!
Cory says
Yas! Shake it Off is the shizz!
Polarbelle says
I can’t think of her songs cuz all I can think of is how great you look, Karen!!!
Ilene says
It’s like it was made for you!
Julia Alkaseltzer says
Karen!! Mariah was my favorite singer growing up! I loved old school Mariah, and my first album I ever bought was Daydream!!!!!
All time favorite song is Sweet Sweet Fantasy!!
I want them all. Though I have taken a liking to the items based on my other favorites (Sweet Sweet Fantasy, Dreamlover). Siiiggghh~~ <3
Chelsea says
Doesn’t everyone sing like that to their pets? We definitely do!
You look so gorgeous and glowing and radiant in this video! Hi to Connor Claire! Loved hearing her in the background.
Chelsea says
And I don’t know what my favorite Mimi song is! It’s the right season for All I Want for Christmas is You, but I also like Honey.
Nancy T says
Ooh, so happy to see that I’m NOT the only Mother Of Cats who sings to her fe-lion! I sing “Some Nights” by Fun to my big Maine Coon Kitty, Scunci. Because he stands, but he doesn’t know what he stands for!
Fave Mimi song of mine is “Hero”.
Erin says
I kinda like the quads.
Kiss & Make-up says
I was never a huge Mariah Carey fan, but some of her some her songs sure are catchy. And yes, she’s the uber diva for sure!!! And she is ALL about that glam, so true. I like that the focus is one nude lips, I love that. Not too big on heavy shimmer or glitter though. Love the coral blush, very pretty.
Chris25 says
The colors are gorgeous, but I feel like they are dupeable.
Jessica says
That is a super pretty collection. I love the lippies!
Claudia says
Hi Karen. Do you know if any items will be online exclusives? Or will all be available to purchase in store?
Karen says
Hi Claudia!
The only product that’s an online exclusive is Butterfly Bling Lipglass. HTH!
Claudia says
Thank you Karen! Havent seen this anywhere else and wanted to make sure as I make my plan of attack! I love your blog, thank you for always answering readers questions! ?
Rosemary says
Did you take the photos with the fake-but-fun diamonds? If so, please please tell me where you found those loose diamonds. I must have them!
Rosemary says
Oh, sorry, Karen. I just found some online. I should have looked before asking you. I’ve only had one cup of coffee so far. Yes, that’s my excuse!
And I like Mariah’s early stuff, My All, Can’t Let Go, and of course Vision of Love.
You and Connor have a great day!
Cory says
Holy carp, Karen, drink enough coffee? Lol! This is the 1st MACxwhomever collection where I literally like the way everything looks. I’d buy it all if I didn’t just spend a fortune on Black Friday/Cyber Monday!
Songs – I Know What You Want/Give it to Me (it’s a collab like this!)
– Shake it Off
– I Still Believe
~Much Love!
