G’morning, glory. 🙂 Got some great news this morning for fellow MAC fiends.
MAC Viva Glam Cyndi and Gaga Lipglasses to go with the lipsticks released earlier this year
Two new limited edition Viva Glam Lipglasses, Cyndi and Gaga ($14.50 each), sashay onto MAC counters early next month (Sept. 2).
Matching the two previously released Cyndi and Gaga Viva Glam lipsticks, Cyndi’s will be a mid-tone coral; Gaga’s, a light bluish pink. Both will be available for six months through February 2011.
MAC started the Viva Glam initiative all the way back in 1994 to help men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS, and every dollar raised from the sale of Viva Glam celebrity-promoted products since then has gone to support the cause (they’ve raised missions so far).
Accessory hounds might also want to check out the new limited edition Viva Glam Cyndi and Viva Glam Gaga bags ($28 each, also available September 2).
Aren’t the stripes cute?
MAC Prep + Prime Beauty Balm
For gals heading to the Middle East, Brazil or the Caribbean, keep your eyes peeled at airport stores and kiosks for MAC Prep + Prime Beauty Balm UVA/UVB SPF35 ($30). Previously available only in Asia, this lightweight liquid doubles (quintuples?) as a skin color corrector, highlighter, sunscreen, moisturizer and makeup primer. Since it’s a travel exclusive, it’ll only be available at select airports worldwide (which means there’s no telling where). Might be fun to try and hunt ’em down on your next layover…
MAC Fabulous Felines available online!
Homegirl tribute to MAC Fabulous Felines!
Crazy Cat Ladies, unite! The countdown is ON for the MAC Fabulous Felines collection, WOOT! T-minus seven days and counting until it arrives on counters August 26.
Of course, if you can’t wait, bloomingdales.com currently has several of the Fab little Felines available online. You’ll have to dig deep down into their website (Eyes, Lips, etc.) to find them, but they’re there.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

August 19th, 2010 at 11:28 amHi Natalia,
You’ve got to look inside the MAC links for the pieces — click on eyes, lips, etc. and look around and you’ll find them.
Natalia says

August 19th, 2010 at 2:29 pmdo you think these will be available in store this early or just online?

August 19th, 2010 at 2:46 pmI actually think that the MAC prep + prime balm is based on BB creams, a really popular product used predominately in Asia. Really handy stuff actually, it’s supposed to be an anti aging product, a sunscreen (some even go up to 50 SPF), a moisturizer and a foundation all at once!

August 20th, 2010 at 2:25 amMy thoughts exactly! As soon as I saw the post about the Beauty Balm, the first thought that came to mind was this: “MAC has a BB Cream now?”
(A definition for BB Cream can be found here: http://www.musingsofamuse.com/2008/08/blemish-balm-cream-what-is-bb-cream.html)
A lot of the international brands are getting into the BB business now – even Maybelline has one – so I won’t be surprised if they’re available at airports that have high traffic for direct flights to Japan or Korea.

August 19th, 2010 at 11:07 pmI’m intrigued by the beauty balms. No travel for me in the near future though!
Nina says
August 20th, 2010 at 6:06 amI almost got Fab Felines stuff from bloomies but the shipping killz me! Ill wait to pick some up next week.
I am sooo wanting that BB Cream – ive used BB creams for a while now and they are like a tinted moisturizer PLUS. Its a tad light though – the shade of that MAC BB Cream. I might badger my sister when she goes to LA in October to get me some from the MAC store in LAX. 😀

August 21st, 2010 at 12:39 amIt’s so weird because months ago, I had like 15-20 products from Fabulous Felines on my list. Now I have ZERO -unless I decide to give in and get some of the liquid liners. I don’t know but this collection just doesn’t stand out to me. I’m sad BUT super happy that my wallet won’t go empty. =)

August 22nd, 2010 at 1:46 amHmm. I already own the Cyndi lipstick, I wonder if the gloss would be worthwhile to pair with it. I love the Gaga one but it just doesn’t work for my coloring.
Vonvon says
August 22nd, 2010 at 8:54 pmNo wonder I couldn’t find the Beauty Balm in stores. Will definitely hunt for it in airports…. Wonder if Hong Kong International Airport has it? Anyone knows?

August 28th, 2010 at 9:18 pmI saw the Beauty Balm at the DFS Galleria in Honolulu (a massive Duty Free Mall of sorts) when I was vacationing late July. I really wanted to pick this up but had already spent a lot on some other beauty items in the store. Kicking myself now though, lol…
