MAC Bloggers’ Obsessions Collection is a nine-piece collection of MAC Eyeshadows and Lipglasses launching June 21, exclusively on MACcosmetics.com. Last January, MAC asked beauty bloggers to submit a color inspiration for either an eyeshadow or a lipglass. Above are the nine products chosen. I will be ordering “Sparkle, Neely, Sparkle” eyeshadow, a rust brown with golden sparkle, and “Evolution Revolution” lipglass, the perfect peachy-pink with golden shimmer. Great job gals!

Margherita Missoni was recently photographed filming for a new Missoni advertisement. These just may be the first photos to show the actual goods from the Missoni for Target Collection, scheduled to launch in September.

Loving the male model’s sweater and scarf.

I see the bicycle, a laptop case and luggage.

Here we are shown a glimpse of the housewares.

Are you excited for this collection?

I think I’m only interested in the bicycle and maybe a scarf. The Missoni look has always been a good runway look to me, and I LOVE the swimwear. But as far as dressing head-to-toe in Missoni stripes and zigzags.. I’m not sure it transcends from runway to reality.

CHANEL Le Vernis in Mimosa – April 2011

Chanel’s intended “IT polish” for Spring 2011 looks incredibly similar to their

Robertson Exclusive Le Vernis in L.A. Sunrise from 2008 doesn’t it?

If they aren’t twins, they are definitely sisters. I can only hope that Mimosa is easier to apply than L.A. Sunrise. I recommend several thin coats, and letting each coat dry in between.

Will YOU partake in Mimosa come April?
