GIRL, you know how I feel about flamingos! Those beautiful pink and coral feathers…that graceful neck…those long legs…that stylin’ beak! They’re my second favorite animal behind teh kittehs, and if there were such thing as a “Crazy Flamingo Lady,” I’d qualify, no doubt.
I’m happy to report that said beautiful bird is front and center in the new spring MAC Flamingo Park collection.
Behold…

January 21st, 2016 at 3:06 pmI’m glad to see an LE collection with colors appropriate for medium-dark to very deep skintones (eyeing those fabulously pigmented blushes)! They almost look more like lipstick swatches than blush!
Karen says
January 21st, 2016 at 3:54 pmThey’re so pigmented! I hope that you give ’em a swatch when they come out. 🙂

January 21st, 2016 at 3:27 pmWonderful, lively, spring tones (as we brace for 2 feet of snow on the east coast GAH)! And right on the heels of your “Neutrals or Brights” post! 😀
Karen says
January 21st, 2016 at 3:51 pmYes! We’re having some gloomy weather here in NorCal, and these are just what I needed for a pick-me-up. Stay warm and safe in the snowstorm, Christine!
Charisma says

January 21st, 2016 at 5:20 pmLove the bright colors but I feel like I already have a lot of hot pinks…
Also lately I’ve had a hard time “splurging” on expensive cosmetics when you can get so much more with drugstore brands, and they’ve been just as good lately!
But, I will always love MAC!
Mary says
January 21st, 2016 at 5:41 pmFabulous display of gorgeous colors! I am going to try out (once they hit my local Macy’s) This Could Be Fun & Pink Swoon blushes and Be Silly, St Germain & Have Your Cake lipsticks.
Rachel R. says
January 21st, 2016 at 6:01 pmWow, I just love all of it. Pinks, corals, AND a bright eye palette! Yes!!!!!!!!
Erin says
January 21st, 2016 at 6:12 pmBoth the technakohls are beautiful as are the blushes, so much pigment.

January 21st, 2016 at 6:57 pmThis collection is so much fun. I love the Flocking Fabulous lipstick name. Based on the name alone, I wanted to love Long Legged & Fabulous but it wouldn’t suit my coloring. Whoever named this collection did a great job. The Spring Flock blush looks right up my alley, though! Thank you for your in depth reviews. I have always enjoyed your blog! It is such a great source for swatches and reviews.
India says
January 21st, 2016 at 7:00 pmOh my god, I mistook the blush swatches for the lipstick swatches because they were so pigmented! Holy pigment!

January 22nd, 2016 at 5:29 amJust watched the video. This collection is soooooooooo springy indeed! I want EVERYTHING! The blushes in particular look really good, both ‘groups’ 🙂 The lipsticks also look great, loving these shades. I’m glad to hear you think Flocking Fabulous is stellar! That one immediately stood out for me!

January 22nd, 2016 at 6:26 amDang, that’s a LOT of pink! You look so fresh and springy. 🙂 And, of course you have a pink, feather boa as a photo prop. HAHA! Super cute.
Kalli says
January 22nd, 2016 at 9:00 amThis collection is so cute! I love the idea and inspiration because flamingos are the most fab of the zoo animals.

January 22nd, 2016 at 4:10 pmOh my! This collection is so far outside my comfort zone. It is nice to see colors that will work well for medium to dark complexions.
The lipsticks are very cheery and spring like, so I’ll probably check those out.
Alexis says
January 25th, 2016 at 12:07 pmI just got to watch your review video now. Looks like I’ll be peepin’ this collection! I’ve finally broke out of my nude lip rut (thanks UDxGwen reds) and I’ll be picking up some new bright lipsticks/blushes!
Elysia says
January 28th, 2016 at 5:37 pmWhat are the two blushes that the model is wearing in the promo pictures? It’s hard for me to tell, especially with so many out!
breyerchic04 says
January 30th, 2016 at 2:51 amI’d talked myself out of this collection, because the blushes weren’t what I wanted them to be, but I just looked again and realized Nice To Meet You was a color I desperately needed. So I just bought it and a backup of Strutting Fabulous mattene, which I love. Thank you!
