MAC Cosmetics Partners with Makeup and Beauty Blog

April 1st, 2010 by Karen 208 Comments

Ladies, if you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you probably know about my love for MAC Cosmetics. I’ve been a fan of theirs for years (my very first post was Barbie Loves MAC!).

And being such a devoted fan, I’ve been dying to tell you about a special project I’ve been working on FOREVER, but because of legal hoopla and various other contractual shenanigans I haven’t been been able to announce anything until now.

Starting this month, I’ll be splitting my time between this blog and a brand new site called MAC-Up and Beauty Blog.

In a nutshell, it’s going to be a MAC beauty blog with a quirky MBB spin. I’ll be giving you advance looks and swatches of new MAC collections, backstage access to MAC events and the latest tips and tricks from our favorite MAC makeup artists.

It also means I’ll be traveling a little bit more, but things will remain business as usual here on the OG MBB, where I’ll still post plenty of non-MAC beauty reviews, news and more than enough Tabs to last a lifetime. 🙂

MAC-Up and Beauty Blog won’t go live until mid-month, but MAC wants to get this party started, so they’re sponsoring a HUGE giveaway today on the blog.

The first 10,000 readers who friend the new MAC-Up and Beauty Blog Facebook page will receive a free tube of MAC Nymphette. This shimmery, peachy pink gloss is my all-time fave for smokey eyes.

If you’re interested, click here to sign up.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Hehe, knew it! Oh man. I’m doing a couple tiny things on facebook today to see if anyone notices, but it’s pretty lame — especially since I usually take April Fool’s Day VERY seriously. Sometime I must tell you about the kitty-related prank I played on my boyfriend last year!

        Hehehehe, well, as I’ve mentioned approximately 895129817 times in my comments to you, I have two kitties, Aisha and Tigger. They rock my world. I think it’s pretty easy to say that I love cats. My boyfriend, however, is tragically quite allergic to kitties. I know, it’s heartbreaking. His allergies are bad enough that he can’t come over during March or April due to prime shedding season.

        So, brief back story — back when I was in college, I missed my cats a little too much and bought a stuffed cat. It’s curled up in a little ball, and when you pop in a D cell, its tummy moves like it’s breathing and it makes little half purring/half sleepy noises. Very cute.

        I decided to be mischievous and put my little fake furball into a cat carrier and bring it over to his place.

        “Steve, I got you a present,” I called from the doorway.

        Totally unaware of the date and looking at something else, the boy responded, “Oh, honey, that’s so sweet of you. I’m sure I’ll love it!”

        He then looked at me, and with abject horror in his eyes, he yelled, “NO…NO…TELL ME THAT’S NOT–”

        “I went to volunteer at the Humane Society today and I just KNEW you’d love her!”

        “Please tell me you’re not that crazy.”

        “Now, she’s kinda out of it because they shot her up with tranquilizers for the ride home, but if you put your ear up to the cage, you can hear her purring!”

        “This can’t be happening.”

        Right as I went to pull the fake kitty out of the cage, however, he had an epiphany. “I’m a freaking moron,” he said.

        I couldn’t exactly disagree.

        It was REALLY funny — and he’s still a little bitter for having fallen for it a year later — but I am sliiiiightly offended that he honestly thought for a bit that I was nutty enough to purchase him a pet
        a) with no discussion whatsoever
        b) TO WHICH HE WAS ALLERGIC, lol.

        I mean, don’t get me wrong, I *am* a crazy cat lady, but I’m not going to bring the sneezing over to him! That would be pretty cruel. 😀 I’m still proud of myself for thinking of it, though!

    I didn’t fall for it… only because I fell for Temptalia’s first and so I started becoming suspicious. I wonder though if MAC released their Art Supplies collection online in France as a joke too, because I thought it would come in today with Liberty of London but I called the boutiques and found out that it was only coming out around mid-April. In any case, I placed an order so it’d better not be!

    Congratulations on the MAC blog. I like MAC products, but don’t go there often because the MAC SAs are generally kind of snotty, impatient & dismissive of anyone over 40. Or is this MAC’s strategy to discourage older women from being in the stores, hurting the young/hip image? You can pass that on now that you’re an insider!

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
