This past Monday, I took an early morning stroll to Macy's to visit one of my favorite MAC counters at Metro Center (in DC) to get a closer look at the Give Me Liberty of London collection. The girls there are so sweet and helpful, and you just can't beat that kinda customer service. There's one really gorgeous chick in particular who always helps me, I sadly don't know her name but she's breathtaking! Anyway, she helped me decide what I should get from this collection. The gorgeous spring-inspired white packaging with soft flowers and cute little birds really stood out. Sometimes I'm a sucker for packaging and I know I shouldn't be..but if its super cute and unique, then dammit, I probably gotta have it.

Oh yes baby! One of my absolute 'Holy Grail' lipsticks from MAC would have to be the gorgeous Rebel (satin - $14). Described as a "vivid pinkish-purple", I have worn this baby out and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. It's one of the most gorgeous colors I've ever worn. It's a satin formula, which tends to be a little drying, but because this color is so beautiful I put up with it. But to be honest, I combat that by moisturizing the crap outta my lips prior to application to minimize the drying. This lipstick also stains a little...just a little. So even after you're done eating or drinking, it'll still be there, but it'll give your lips that "flushed" look. It's a very opaque shade, so you won't need to pile it on. My mom has tried this color and she loves it. I should buy her one so she can stop borrowing mine, but I'm telling you...brown girls, this color would look amazing on you!

I saw this collection online almost two months ago, and something inside me started shaking out of excitement. Either from that or all of that earl grey tea I had. I was overwhelmed by how HUGE this entire beast of a collection was. Mentally, I was all ready for it, but because of how let down I was with Hello Kitty (out of all that "cuteness", I wound up getting ONE item. Womp!), I knew I'd have to see this in person to really be able to get the full effect. I took a long lunch break and went to the MAC counter at Macy's by Metro Center. I walked around the entire counter maybe twice, because I just didn't see the damn thing. So I asked one of the girls where it was, and they had it in a corner hidden for some reason. She pulled everything out for me, and I immediately noticed how many of the colors looked like colors I already had. That was a disappointment, but not really -- saved me a few bucks!
