Upcoming MAC Collection: Balloonacy!




When? March 28th for MAC Stores and Nordstroms, April 5th for all other locations.

What is it? The Balloonacy collection includes an interesting variety of products. Most notable are the following:

Pandamonium Eyeshadow Quad:

Cloudbound - Off-white pink with gold pearlized pigments (Frost)
Up at Dawn - Soft lilac (Veluxe Pearl)
Violet Trance - Rich intense purple (Matte)
Pandamonium - Smoky Grey with silver pearlized pigments (Velvet)

TWO New Pigments:

Viz-a-violet - Mid tone violet with blue and red pearlized pigments (Frost)
Helium - Light pink with red duochrome (Frost)

The collection will also include some Softsparkle Eye Pencils and two Highlight Powders as well as a Bubblegum Pink and Bright Purple lipstick.



While I am a huge fan of MAC, I'm a little bit perplexed by a few things about this collection.

Why are there pictures of individual eyeshadows in the advertisement when only a quad is being sold?

Where are the model's eyebrows and why is she sporting a "Marge Simpson" gone goth look?

I'm a big fan of alot of darker and even fetishy looks and collections but the aesthetics of this one are a little bit lost on me. The model seems to be wearing a shapeless vinyl sheath shirt with a safety pin which has a charm of a teddy bear on it, which I find even more confusing.

However, I am still looking forward to some of the new and exciting colors in this collection. I'm a total purple freak!

What do you guys think?
