[Macnarsandlove]

Horrible in my opinion, I was really disappointed at the collections overall and saved a lot of money I didnt have.


Best of MAC 2008
MAC product (skin):dont have one
MAC product (cosmetic): re-release of so-ceylon msf (great color)
MAC Collection: N collection/Starflash
MAC Newcomer product: Dazzleglass
MAC visual/promo: Cremesheen - not sure why, i just liked it.

Makeup Icon of 2008: Rhianna- she is not a cute girl and her ma does wonders.
Kim K- she made me feel better about my 10:00 in the morning smokey eyes and shes hot.

Worst of MAC 2008
MAC product (skin):volcanic ash exfoliater- its sludge!

MAC product (cosmetic): suite array-wft MAC! who would buy that? Estee
Lauder is f*cking up, seriously!

MAC Collection:Metal Urge- cause metal-x sucked. my bronzey one dried out completely and i used it twice.

MAC Newcomer product

azzleglass- I have to use reg gloss or else it looks like Ive been binging on glitter after it wears off.

MAC visual/promo: Sonic Chic-It looked like an anti domestic violence ad.ugh

Makeup nobody of 2008 (celeb): Aubrey Oday (Danity Kane)- She is 1 step away at any moment from looking like Amanda Lepore.
Christina Aguilera- She needs a change, bad!


Other brands (just to be inclusive)

Best:
Other brand cosmetic: MUFE- I have never bought the same foundation twice til I found Mat Velvet.

Other brand newcomer: Dont have one- I stalk counters and Sephora and Im at a loss on this.

Worst:
Other brand cosmetic: Bobbi Brown-overpriced and lame. She came out with a "lipstick system" that matched a lipstick to ur natural lipcolor. How un-inspiring. Whats next an under eye concealer that has darkness in it????

Other brand newcomer: Korres Makeup- just blah and too natural, I like silicons in my makeup. And Fusion Beauty for foundation that when blended is ashy nastiness.
