M-A-C Tries The Natural Approach

There is a reason we love M-A-C Cosmetics. We love the bold hues, the rich formulas, and avante garde advertising campaigns. But now it appears that (one of) our favorite cosmetic brands has gone au naturel. The M-A-C, Naturally line includes mineral based products that enhance your skin and complexion. This collection is all about enhancing the beauty that nature gave you. Here is a brief look at their products. You can purchase the cosmetics featured here on their official website or at a M-A-C- counter near you!

Eye Pencil Get in line. The M-A-C Eye Pencil was designed to create a smooth line that defines the eyes. It comes in two natural colors:Coffee and Ebony.

Mineralize Eye Shadow These tiny compacts of marbellized mineral eye shadows. The colors blend in beautifully to create a look that’s natural. If you haven’t tried M-A-C products yet but you’re itching to try something from them, I’d recommend their Mineralized Eye Shadows. They come in five colors including Twilight Falls, In The Sun, Daylight, Cloudy Afternoon, and Summer Haze.

Mineralize Blush A lightweight mineral powder that brings a little bit of color to your cheeks. This blush is lightweight and super sheer, it also comes in three shades:Subtle Breeze, Early Morning, and Fresh Honey.

Mineralize Skinfinish Here is a powder that goes on smooth to define and highlight the skin. It also leaves a metallic finish to add a little color. You can use this as an allover face cover, blusher, or eyeshadow.

Lipstick You will love the way these four natural looking lip colors provide coverage and a hint of color. It comes in four amazing but subtle shades including Sweet Sunrise, Beach Sand, A Perfect Day, and Pillow Talk.

Tinted Lipglass The same soft textured lipgloss and glossiness you love now comes in fresh new shades like a deep red(Hot Spell), cool pink(Fresh Air), baby pastel pink(The Wee Coquette), or a lovely nude(Naked Space). These luxe glosses were also enriched with jojoba oil for a softer pout.

Beauty Deals For 01-15 through 01-21

Do you need to stock up on hair care or skin care products? Are in need of a new nail color or eyeliner? This is your lucky week as all three big drugstore chains(including Walgreens, CVS/Pharmacy, and Rite Aid) have some some super stellar sales on your favorite brands. Since there are so many equally amazing deals to choose from, I’ve rounded up the best one for you in my weekly Drugstore Beauty Deal roundup.

Here are a few things to keep in mind. Many of these deals will require a savings card(like CVS and Rite Aid). Signing up for these cards are free and easy so if you haven’ already signed up for one, I’d suggest you do that now. Some of these deals will require a coupon and I will note that. The only way to obtain these is by having a copy of the insert and cut out the coupon from it. If you don’t have such ads, you can ask your friends for spare copies.
