My Best Wishes....

Hi Beauties,

I'd like to take a moment to wish all of your a very merry Christmas! Tis' The Season To Be Jolly! and I hope that you all get to spend this holiday with those you love most.

This is absolutely one of my favorite times of the year. What I look forward to the most is seeing the faces of my nieces and nephews when they open their gifts. It's always great to be cause of a child's smile. :-)

My Makeup for today will probably look like this...

XOXO,

Awilda

MAC & Marcel Wanders - Luxe Couture collection

Launch: 24 November 2010 [US/Canada]

“If I have a basic motivation, it’s to inspire people to make their life a Masterpiece!” Is that not what we do every day at M∙A∙C? So it is that the Dutch industrial designer – known for everything from his “Happy Hour” Chandelier to his futuresonic way with old Delft porcelain, and for co-founding now-iconic design collective Droog AND the amusing, classicism-meets-futurism objects of his own group, Moooi (from the Dutch word for “beauty,” but with an extra “o” for extra-beautiful!) – wandered HERE…It had to be! M∙A∙C partners with Marcel Wanders – his first foray into the world of cosmetics – and design sophisticates (and people with innate and irreverent tastes) will be bonkers for these limited-edition Lipstick, Lip Gloss, Sheer Mystery Powder, Air of Style Scent Concentrate, and his signature brush and clutch creations, not least of all for their arresting packaging – fine collectors’ items all! But also for the rich palette, inspired by 17th-century Flemish painting, and particularly, Vermeer – “The Girl With a Pearl Earring” – and the idea of an artist painting a portrait, and falling in love. “Always, with a sense of love in the product…” he says. Marcel speaks our M∙A∙C language.

I'm really feeling the packaging on this collection. It looks more elevated and would make great Christmas gifts for anyone!
