So I went to MAC and checked out their new Brunette, Blonde, Redhead collection. Overall, I think MAC has redeemed itself and did a great job with this collection (sorry but I still think Dame Edna was a mistake!) The promo pic is totally hot and there is a really nice selection of colors with good quality. Read on for the reviews and more pictures.

Lipstick ($14)
These are new colors, except Marquise D’, which is a repromote from the Royal Assets Coral Lip Palette in the Antiquitease collection and also the perfect nude pink lipstick for me. The colors are all very wearable and leave behind a glossy sheen.

Brunette
* Chignon – Red plum (Glaze)
* What a ‘Do! – Neutral pink coral (Frost)

Blonde
* B-Babe – Rich pink (Frost)
* All’s Fair – Light purple pink (Lustre)

Redhead
* Marquise D’ – Sandy cream peach (Lustre)
* Blow Dry – Pink coral (Frost)

Tinted Lipglass ($14)
These are all new and limited edition colors. Red Devil is my favorite.

Brunette
* Quick Tease: Red purple
* Soft Wave: Tan bronze

Blonde
* Strawberry Blonde: Deep pink red
* Peroxide: White pink

Redhead
* Live and Dye: Cool pink
* Red Devil: Coral orange

Eyeshadow ($14.50)
These eyeshadows are all limited edition. While most colors are new, some are from previous collections.

* Brunette
* Deep Shade – Dusty blue (Frost). While this looks like a shimmery navy blue in the pot, it did not come out as pigmented as I expected.
* Henna – Dark gold (Veluxe Pearl). This looks more like an olive gold on me and is so beautiful! The Veluxe Pearl formula also makes it super pigmented and smooth to apply. This is definitely one of the more unique colors in this collection!
* Femme-Fi – Frosty golden cream (Veluxe Pearl). This repromote from Neo Sci-Fi looks more like a creamy beige than gold. It highly resembles MAC’s Dazzlelight and Shroom eyeshadows.

Blonde
* Pincurl – Dusty white (Frost)
* Knight – Dark grey (Veluxe Pearl). This is a repromote from the Royal Assets Smokey Palette in the Antiquitease collection and although it is very similar to MAC’s other gunmetal eyeshadows, I do like that it is silky and pigmented.
* Top Knot – Deep black purple (Velvet). This dark purple with glitter is the *hottest* color out of the bunch but like most Velvet eyeshadows, the quality and pigmentation is blah. What a shame!

Redhead
* Flip – Bronze gold (Frost)
* French Cuff – Ice pink (Frost). This is no where near an ice pink. It looks more like a warm medium pink on me just like MAC’s Expensive Pink eyeshadow. Pretty but not unique enough.
* 100 Strokes – Burgundy purple (Lustre). This is a repromote from the Tailormade collection that was released in 2005. It shows up as a chocolate brown with red undertones on me and despite the Lustre formula, it is one of the more pigmented eyeshadows in this collection. Not bad!

Mineralize Skinfinish ($28)
These new MSFS are totally gorgeous! Unlike the regular MSFs, they each have four stripes of colors and they all have superb pigmentation.

* Brunette: Soft coral to copper bronze degrade. This is a little too dark and warm for my NC30 skin. It could work as a bronzer if you apply with a light hand.
* Blonde: Soft pink to rose degrade. This is a really nice quad of frosty pinks that would make the perfect blush!
* Redhead: Gold to salmon pink degrade. This set of beiges is gorgeous and can be used to highlight and contour.

Eye Kohl ($14.50)
These are repromotes from the permanent line. They go on really creamy and are great for smudging.

* Smolder: Intense black (Brunette)
* Phone Number: Smudgy charcoal (Blonde)
* Teddy: Dark-eyed bronze (Redhead)

Brow Set ($13.50)
These too are repromotes from the permanent line.

* Show Off: Full bodied brown (Brunette)
* Clear: Color-free (Blonde)
* Girl Boy: Fawned-over blondette (Redhead)
