M.A.C Marilyn Monroe Collection : Continued


This is my second post on some of the goodies from the Marilyn Monroe collection from M.A.C.

Today’s post features the gorgeous Love Goddess Lipstick (£15.50) and a nail polish in Vintage Vamp (£11).
 
M.A.C Love Goddess
 
 Love Goddess is a vibrant pinky/red, satin lipstick which is perfect for those of you not confident with wearing true red shades.

M.A.C Love Goddess

 It’s really more pink than red but is a really gorgeous shade which I found to be slightly less drying than Deeply Adored.

M.A.C Love Goddess

 I must admit, this it is my favourite shade due to the fact that it’s just that more wearable and more moisturising on my lips.

 Like the lipsticks, there are 5 nail polishes in this range too, and I think it’s fair to say that it’s no co-incidence that the shades compliment the 5 shades of lippie as you can see below!

Vintage Vamp is the darkest on the shades available and is described as a rich, deep, retro wine shade.

 
There is no denying that I love this colour but I was left a little disappointed with the formulation.
 
Perhaps it has something to do with the colour, I don’t know, but this polish was soooooooooooo streaky! 


 Even after 3 coats it was still rather questionable looking.

I would have expected better from M.A.C. and from an £11 nail varnish, but hey, you live and learn!

MAC to Launch a Marilyn Monroe Inspired Collection

MAC Cosmetics have unveiled plans for a special makeup collection inspired by Marilyn Monroe’s timeless and glamorous beauty.

The limited-edition line which will be in partnership with Authentic Brands Group is set to include nearly 30 products including eye shadow, lipsticks (think retro red and hot pink) nail polish’s and the obligatory eyeliner.

  After all, it wouldn’t be a Marilyn Collection without some sultry liner!

Speaking of the star, MAC ‘s Senior VP James Gager says;


“Marilyn’s an icon, plain and simple. Her look not only defined a generation but is also relevant today”

He’s not wrong, Marilyn is still as much of an Icon today as she was in the 50’s (if not more so) and with the Oscar-nominated My Week With Marilyn starring Michelle Williams still hot on everyone’s lips, it’s clear that people’s fascination and love for Marilyn is still going strong.

The Marilyn Collection is set to hit stores in October, but I would think it probably won’t hit the UK for a little while after.
