“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.
MAC Starflash Eye Shadow in Fashion Groupie
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.
MAC Starflash Eye Shadow in Ego
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

Karen says
July 18th, 2009 at 7:55 amHi Shontay,
Me too! What do you think I should wear it with?
Glosslizard says
July 17th, 2009 at 1:10 pmOoh, so far they have my attention (if I don’t spend every cent I have at Nordstrom’s anniversary sale today…)! I wish they were re-releasing Wolf though!
Venice Rouge Allures… I’m comin’ for ya! 🙂
Karen says
July 18th, 2009 at 7:55 amHi Glosslizard,

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.

Congrats on your new gig! What’s your new job?
Vampy Varnish says
July 17th, 2009 at 1:51 pmFashion Groupie looks like a color for me!
Today I’m swatching a gazillion polishes since I am way behind. If you haven’t yet seem Dior’s new one called Lemon Balm I will just tell you it’s extraordinary! I am totally in llllluuvvvvv! You’ll see it soon 😉
I may go to the Renegade Craft Fair at Fort Mason tomorrow, or I may go to Santa Rosa to check out hot tubs, wheeeeee!

July 18th, 2009 at 7:58 amHi 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!
Marisol says
July 17th, 2009 at 1:53 pmHave 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.
.-= Marisol’s last blog post… Kindle me this… =-.
Karen says
July 18th, 2009 at 7:59 amHi Marisol,
Have fun at the Farmer’s Market. Hope you snag some good fruit (yum).
Kailey says
July 17th, 2009 at 2:40 pmI’m ♥ing Ego.
Karen says
July 18th, 2009 at 7:59 amHi Kailey,
It’s really pretty, yah?
Tiffany says
July 17th, 2009 at 2:47 pmHappy 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!
Karen says
July 18th, 2009 at 8:00 amHi 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!
Marina says
July 17th, 2009 at 3:30 pmhave fun at Chanel class. can’t wait to read a post about it!:)

It should be a lot of fun. Hopefully I’ll snag a few great tips.
Patti says
July 17th, 2009 at 3:37 pmOh 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
Karen says
July 18th, 2009 at 8:01 amHi 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?
Patti says
July 17th, 2009 at 3:38 pmBtw Karen,
I got MAC cheeky bronze which you recommended on another post and I am so loving it!!
Thanks for the heads up!
Karen says
July 18th, 2009 at 8:02 amHi Patti,
Oh, that’s great! 🙂 Isn’t it perfect for those minimal makeup days? What brush do you use to apply it?
Kajal Couture says
July 17th, 2009 at 3:43 pmPretty! 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!
.-= Kajal Couture’s last blog post… =-.
Karen says
July 18th, 2009 at 8:02 amHi Kajal Couture,
Oh yah… it does have some Circa Plum-ness to it.
Got any plans for the weekend?
cloudburst says
July 17th, 2009 at 8:15 pmI will be picking up some of the new colours but I’m most excted about getting a backup of Smoke & Diamonds!
Karen says
July 18th, 2009 at 8:02 amHi Cloudburst,
Oh yah! I have that one, too. Love it. 🙂
Anastasia says
July 17th, 2009 at 8:19 pmMmmm 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!
Karen says
July 18th, 2009 at 8:03 amHi Anastasica,
Sure thing. 🙂
Which Colour Craft lipsticks are ya lovin’ on? I hope one of ’em is Madly Creative!
lexi says
July 17th, 2009 at 11:22 pmYAY – 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!
Karen says
July 18th, 2009 at 8:04 amHi Lexi,
Sweet! You should be totally set for fall.
You know what I’ve been loving lately? Plum and gold.
gio says
July 18th, 2009 at 7:51 amThose look gorgeous!

Pia says
July 18th, 2009 at 9:32 amI’m going to grab fly by blue this time! I adore pearlglides!
Rachel says
July 19th, 2009 at 9:14 amI 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.
Karen says
July 19th, 2009 at 9:07 pmHi Rachel,
I guess the Starflashes aren’t for everyone. Good thing there’s a lot of finishes from MAC to choose from, right?
meg says
July 19th, 2009 at 2:51 pmReally pretty! I think they may be too opalescent for me though. I still love seeing pics either way!
