Hot Picks [FRIDAY]

Eye M-A-C

Friday, October 27, 2006

The clerics of colour at M-A-C Cosmetics hath spoken. And their decrees will change the way you look this fall. The hues and tints these priests of pigmentation have chosen for their new Untamed lineup are hot. Which means you better get a move on before you're forced to buy knockoffs.

Half the fun of shopping at M-A-C is reading the names they've come up with for their colours. And then imagining how much fun it would be to name colours for a living. Just check them out: there's "courage" a "shine-filled copper with rich frost." Or "well-plumed," a "charcoal blue with silver and blue sparkle." And how about our favourite: "tickles," which is a "lightly silvered pink with pink pearl." Crayola, eat your heart out!

All of these colours are part of the eye shadows available in the Untamed collection. Not only will you look great, but you'll get such a kick from telling people what colour you've got on. There are some pretty hilarious lipsticks available, too. You heard it here first, everyone's lips are going to be "blankety pink" this fall!

All kidding aside, M-A-C really has some of the best cosmetics in town. The joke's going to be on you if you don't run and grab this stuff.
