GUO pei

Chinese haute-couture designer Guo Pei puts her exotic stamp on a makeup collaboration with MAC
& I think I have died and gone to make up heaven.

Check out MAC’s latest project, the Guo Pei Collection.

Not on sale until October this is a collection sure to sell out fast! As the Christmas shopping will be well underway, if you know someone who loves make up, then treating them to this super collection will have you gaining serious brownie points! The collection is made up of just 16 pieces.

There are bright jewel-tone items, like an azure blue eye shadow and eyeliner, and some rich, smooth neutrals. The powder compact is singing to me. I’ve been looking for a good pressed powder in a beautiful compact for years. I thought I would have to go vintage, but finding a good powder to fit a vintage compact is surprisingly difficult. This one looks just about perfect. The flower print pressed into the surface of the powder is so pretty it will take an act of immense intestinal fortitude to actually break the surface and start using it, but I think I can do it. (Or maybe I’ll have to buy two. One to use and one to ogle.)
