MAC Early Buzz - News on Products for 2013 - Page 71

Sorry ladies, I haven't been around this whole week - 'found out I had gallstones by having a painful attack. Now I'm waiting to do more tests and figure out if I want surgery or not. I don't want to just ditch my gall bladder! 

Anyhow, yeah - very hard to grow out curly hair so it's long. Mine just keeps curling up more and more and gets wider, not longer. It's twice as long wet as it is when dry. 

For hair products, I keep it pretty simple. I use Mixed Chicks leave-in conditioner every day, applied wet, then I use a teeny bit of BioSilk, which my hair stylist friend turned me on to - that really makes your hair shiny and the curls nice and defined. The only drawback is it doesn't do anything to nourish the hair and there is some buildup, so I find I have to wash my hair more often to get it out. Normally, I only like to wash my hair with conditioner (plain old Aussie for curly hair), but when I need to shampoo it, I've been using Mixed Chicks, but I may switch to Aussie when I'm done with this bottle.

Once a month or so, I deep condition with a hair mask from Santa Maria de Novella: http://www.santamarianovellausa.com/product/SMN-Hair-Care-top/10721.html#.USgby6WXB8w + shower cap. Plus I never blow dry - only let it air dry up in a pony tail if I want more volume or down if I want maximum fluffy curl definition. I've been finally getting more regular hair cuts, and that is definitely improving general hair health for me too.

Now to get the rest of me healthy. 

Kelis would be a cool choice.

I'd love for MAC to collaborate with Kid Sister. But then again I don't know if she is famous enough. But I think stylewise she would be the perfect fit, she also uses MAC products as far as I know. Plus her nails are always fabulous, I'm sure she would create some kick a$$ nail polishes. 

And I know it's not gonna happen, but Erykah Badu would be amazing.

I don't really know who's popular these days, I just listen to the music I like online, but I don't read any magazines and don't have a tv, so I have no realistic idea who it could be. I think there's still a possibility that it could be Azealia Banks, which is pretty much the only newer artist I know and like, but it might as well be anyone else.

edit: Oh, and Kylie Minogue of course! I would go crazy for a Viva Glam Kylie lippie.

These all look lovely! However, knowing my luck with beautiful looking product previews, this will probably be PRO only. xD

Aren't those the blushes from the Nudes&Metallics collection? Only Barefaced is called Barefoot there, which might be a mistake.

I hope you feel better Liba...surgery is no fun I know. 

Had my gall bladder out last year -- very simple surgery and VERY good pain killers for after.

aww man, I hope you feel better...  

I wash with conditioner too.  I have to try biosilk.  I didn't like mixed chicks. I have major shrinkage too.  If I could keep the length I have wet while dry, I'd love it.

No it isn't! Right now I don't like the idea of it at all. Thanks for the well wishes!

If it's OK, I'd love to ask you a bunch of questions in PM. 

Thanks PP! I'm not too crazy about Mixed Chick's shampoo, but the leave-in conditioner has been good if I make sure not to use too much at a time. Have you found something similar that's more nourishing, because I could go for that!

I think it'd be cool to see a collab with Marina & The Diamonds (Marina Diamandis) her look for her latest album Electra Heart is a bit superficial/Stepford Wife-- which is the look she was going for, it's sort of an alter ego/stage character- but in general her actual style is really cool and I think she'd make some bright, fun lippies (I was thinking about it while watching her Oh No video). I guess she's been popular in the UK for a few years now, but she's just starting to get recognized/played here in the States since releasing Electra Heart (it has a lot more of a catchy mainstream, pop sound but I prefer it to most of the music played on the radio here, her first album is really good though; I just love her voice). I'm pretty sure Glee is actually supposed to cover one of her songs (How to be a Heartbreaker), so that'll definitely bring some attention to her music (I actually saw one of her music videos on E!, and I know she's touring here for the second time in the past year this May, and a lot of her shows sold out last time & are selling out this time too, so obviously she has some fanbase here) The more I think about it, the more excited I get.. I'd love to see MAC do some sort of mini collection with her! It seems like a bit of a stretch, but Azalea Banks seemed to be too, so who knows! *fingers crossed* Pleasssse MAC 

I would love to see Solange do Viva Glam. I love her style and, since she's known for mixing prints, a colorful, patterned lipstick tube would be really cool. I can dream lol

I have had my gal bladder removed nearly two years ago. I was relieved the pain stopped. 

ETA: Forgot to add the most important thing: hope you feel better soon. 

I didnt know where to post this but : I just read that Inglot died.

Hmmm...I never thought to leave the bristles handing over the edge.  Got to try that Sunday.

I need some color stories for the summer collections or new product photos and/or swatches for the March and April ones. Getting bored over here!
