Hey Glamazons! I live in the concrete jungles of New York and often long to be laying on a beach somewhere lounging and being fabulous, but (unless some rich, handsome man decides to whisk me away) that's not going to happen anytime soon.
Until it does (hey, a girl can dream, right?) I plan on rocking these fun, sensual shades from MAC's newest collection, To The Beach. (Because these are totally the shades I would wear if I were to be lounging on said beach. Duh.) Here are some of my faves.
Bronze Body Oil: My fave product from the collection! It has the perfect amount of shimmer and shine and looks amazing on my chest and legs. I layer it over my faux tanner for the perfect glowy tan that I'm sure even Snooki from Jersey Shore would be envious of if she could see it! $22
Bronzing Powder: Comes in two shades, Golden (pictured above, a muted tan-beige with golden shimmer) and Refined Golden (a finely spun golden with soft pearl finish). $22 each.
Cream Bronzer: Comes in two shades, Beach Bronze (pictured above, a golden glow with soft gold finish) and Weekend (a mid-tone deep orange brown with soft pink pearl). $25 each.
Eye Kohl: Because a summer collection wouldn't say "summer" unless it has a turquoise eye pencil! This one glides on (and smudges) with ease. Comes in two shades: Rosemary & Thyme (a mid-tone olive gold with shimmer) and Float On By (pictured above, a dark green turquoise). $14.50 each
Eye Shadow: I don't know what I like more about this shade, the name (Humid) or the actual shade (an intense frost green with shimmer). Either way, it's hot! I wore it to a concert a couple of weeks ago and got so many compliments on it. Fire! Other shades include: Sand & Sun (a light matte light peach); Firecracker (a frosted mid-tone red orange pearl, veluxe pearl); Sweet & Punchy (a bright yellow green, veluxe pearl), and ShimmerMoss (a green with green pearl, veluxe pearl). $14.50 each
Highlight Powder: Marine Life (a multi-colored pressed powder) It's so pretty that you almost don't want to touch it, but you'll be pleased to know that once touched it blends very prettily onto your face. I love to use the gold fleck as a highlighter in the corner of my eyes. $26
Lip Glass: I live for any and all shades of MAC Lip Glasses! I love the way this shade (Easy Lounger, a light baby pink with multi-dimensional pearl) makes my lips look all nice and dewy. If I were a guy, I would totally want to make out with any girl that had dewy looking lips. Other shades include: Flurry of Fun (a sheer sparkly peach) and Splashing (a mid-tone blue pink with soft gold pearl). $14 each
Lip Pencil: A great punchy pink lip liner to accentuate your lips for a more dressed up look. Comes in two shades: Life's A Breeze (pictured above) and Temperature Rising (a loud orange). $13 each
Lipstick: I'm usually afraid of nude shades like this because they tend to wash me out, but somehow this shade (BeachBound) looks amazing on me when I pair it with bronzer. Love! Other shades include: Lazy Day (a dirty blue pink, lustre); Thrills (a rosy copper with gold pearl, frost), and Funbathing (a mid-tone bronzed plum, cremesheen). $14 each
Powder Blush: I have no other words for this one, except that it (Get-Away Bronze, pictured above) looks perfect on me. Comes in Hipness (an intense coral with soft white pearl) too. $18.50 each
