Beauty blogs are more popular than ever at the moment. You can read reviews, see photographs, and watch videos on up and coming products from popular cosmetic brands around the world. We all know the social creatures bloggers are, so after seeing quite a few of them dropping hints about visiting the MAC production facility in Canada we had a feeling something was heating up in the blog-o-sphere.
Last week a story ran in
WWD that MAC had quietly garnered creative ideas from roughly 80 bloggers. James Gager, creative director of MAC Cosmetics worldwide then chose 10 of those ideas from beauty bloggers to have their dream colors realized in a online exclusive ‘MAC Blogger’ collection. The collection will consist of 5 eyeshadows and 5 lipglasses.

[/quote] I'm only familiar with Karen, Christine, Aileen, and Patrice. On that end, I am happy. I think they will have great things to contribute. As for the other, I don't know and I'm not really digging their blogs after some kicking around. I'm eager to see the colors. Seems like a pretty small collection though. I think it's cute that it'll only be available online, but that may cause hesitation because we can't play ourselves. Just like with Mickey Contractor, some of us were reluctant to order because we weren't sure of the colors and textures. We will have to take another leap of faith here.
