MAC Fabulous Felines launched yesterday in stores and at counters.

Here are my top picks from the MAC Fabulous Felines Collection…

Of Royalty (cremesheen lipstick)

Of Royalty is a light creamy blue-pink. It is deeper than Viva Glam Gaga and more pink/less purple than Saint Germain. If Gaga and St. Germain were too cool-toned for you, you may do better with Of Royalty. Coverage is nice, easily buildable.

Kittenish (cremesheen lipstick)

Kittenish is a deep red berry color. Deep lips are always in trend for Fall. Kittenish is smooth and moisturizing. In my opinion it is the most standout lipstick in this collection.

Utterly Game (mineralize blush)

Utterly Game was my favorite of the three mineralize blushes, but I am partial to peach tone blushes. Utterly game has great color payoff. It has a tad of shimmer but nothing over the top. If you are more of a pink blush gal you should go for Pet Me mineralize blush. I passed on Pet Me because it is similar to Dainty mineralize blush, which I already have.

I honestly wasn’t that impressed with the majority of this collection. I like the idea of the new superslick liquid eyeliners but have heard bad things about stickiness and difficulty removing.

Have you or will you purchase anything from this collection?

MAC lipglass versions of Viva Glam Gaga and Viva Glam Cyndi will be hitting stores in September. These will retail for $14.50 each and will only be available for a six month period.

As always, 100% profits will go to the MAC AIDS Fund.

In other MAC news… the Rodarte Collection was pulled and will not ship after all. MAC Cosmetics will still donate the collection’s projected global profits to a charity that benefits the women and children of Juarez, Mexico.

MAC Dazzle Lipstick in Win-Win

Dazzle Lipstick is a new ultra-pearlized lipstick formula from MAC.

Currently a Nordstrom exclusive, these will be available at MAC stores and counters on August 5th.

Since the promo images and product names struck the internet last week, people all over the world have been in an uproar over the Bordertown inspired MAC for Rodarte Collection.

The people have spoken, and apparently MAC listened.

From MAC Cosmetics:

“We understand that product names in the M·A·C Rodarte collection have offended our consumers and fans. This was never our intent and we are very sorry. We continue to listen carefully to the comments we have received and have the following plans to address concerns:

• We are committed to donating $100,000 to a non-profit organization that has a proven, successful track-record helping women in need and that can directly improve the lives of women in Juarez in a meaningful way.

• We are changing the product names in the M·A·C Rodarte collection.

As we have done in the past, please be assured that we will communicate details regarding our progress in this matter.”

From Rodarte:

“We recognize that the violence against women taking place in Juarez needs to be met with proactive action. We never intended to make light of this serious issue and we are truly sorry.

Helping to improve the conditions for women in Juarez is a priority for us and we are thankful for all the comments calling attention to the urgency of addressing this situation.”

MAC Cosmetics for Rodarte Collection – September 15, 2010

Already causing controversy, the Mulleavy sisters have once again been inspired by border violence and maquiladora workers and it shows in their collections product names. Not shown here: there are two nail lacquers named Juarez and Factory, a Ghost town lipstick, a del Norte lipglass, and a Badlands pigment.

EDIT: M·A·C will give a portion of the proceeds from the M·A·C Rodarte collection to help those in need in Juarez.
