Get In the Groove With M-A-C Cosmetics A Collection to Love Summer 2010

July 23, 2010 By: Alison Blackman AdviceSisters

When you look at these amazing colors, doesn’t it just get you feeling like you’re in the groove when it comes to hip makeup? Well, it should! These colors are from M-A-C- Cosmetic’s latest and greatest makeup collection called: “In the Grove.”

Here is what M-A-C says about the collection: “Every once in a while don’t you just want to let go, feel the flow, and get in the groove? Start with a little ’70s Batik, add some ’80s Neo-Mod Tie-Dye fun, some Marrakech mystique, and you’re feeling groovy! A modern, flowing and fabulous way with bold, kaleidoscopic colour combined with boho charm and up-to-the-minute catwalk style. Nine new Mineralize Eye Shadows, six Cremesheen Lipsticks, six Cremesheen Glass, four Mineralize Skinfinish Powders, and five new Mineralize Blush Duos. Shadows are matte, sans glitter and in the trio format. Creamy lips play perfectly off Mineralize satin-smooth eyes. Turn on and groove out! “

This is quite a large collection, with at least a few items for everyone’s taste, especially those who are fans of Mineralize. The shimmer is sparkly but not gaudy, and the colors are mostly earthy and easy to wear. Here is how the entire collection stacks up and my comments about some of the products I personally tried:

This is the face collection of “In the Groove”

This is the rest of the “In the Groove” Collection

Lipstick (Cremesheen)

Call My Bluff – Mid-tone creamy coffee *Despite the name, this is more a medium nude/flesh color than a brownish coffee. It’s not so light that it will look like “egg’ on your lips, and would be even more fun with a sparkling gloss
Jazzed – Bright coral pink
Crème d’Nude – Pale muted peach beige
I Like It Like That – Deep blue pink
All Styled Up – Bright yellow pink
Go For It – Mid-tone blue purple *more of a plum than a purple. Trendy and sexy on the right complexion
Suggested Retail Price $14.00 U.S./$16.50 CDN
 
Cremesheen Glass
 

On the Scene – Light coral beige

You’ve Got It – Dirty silver grey
Going Casual – Sheer lilac
Fashion Whim – Light beige
Right Image – Mid-tone blue pink
Chillin’ – Light white blue * I honestly didn’t know what to do with this at first, because it looks like a very light, greenish blue in the tube. There is so little color and so much shine and yummy vanilla scent, you can just wear it as a sheer, natural lip gloss –no questions, asked!
 
Suggested Retail Price $18.00 U.S./$21.50 CDN
 
Mineralize Eye Shadow (Trio)
 

Love to Love – Satin beige/Pearly bronze/Satin brown *what’s not to love? The striped trio of soft, matte brown and cremy nude with a pearle bronze in the center, makes for pretty eyes in any season

In the Groove – Satin green/Pearly burgundy/Satin coral
Making It Easy – Satin red brown/Pearly beige rose/ Satin dark beige
Togetherness = Satin Lavender/Pearly purple/Satin grey
Style Influencer – Satin silver/Pearly deep blue/ Satin mauve brown
Soften the Mood – Satin light brown/Pearly rose/Satin light blue
Fresh & Easy – Satin pink/Pearly burgundy/Satin grey

Calm, Cool & Collected – Satin deep green/ Pearly green/Satin beige
Blue My Mind – Satin light blue/Pearly deep teal/Satin black
Suggested Retail Price $19.50 U.S./$23.50 CDN
Powerpoint Eye Pencil
Stubborn Brown Deep rich brown
Permaplum Deeply plum with pink shimmer
Navy Stain Royal blue with shimmer
Suggested Retail Price $14.50 U.S./$17.50 CDN
Zoom Lash

Zoomblack Rich black
Suggested Retail Price $13.00 U.S./$15.50 CDN
 
Mineralize Blush (Duo)
Happy Together – Satin caramel/Pearly beige
A Little Bit of Sunshine – Satin light brown/Pearly beige
Hang Loose – Satin bright pink/Pearly lavender

Band of Roses – Satin blue pink/Pearly light plum *I love the mineralize blushes. Alas, this one is personally not for my complexion. The medium rose looks like the petals of a perfect rose, the deeper, pearly plum will work on deeper complexions, especially cool toned skin.
New Vibe Satin deep rose/Pearly bronze
Suggested Retail Price $23.00 U.S./$27.50 CDN
 
Mineralize Skinfinish
By Candlelight -Golden Pink *there is a lot more semi-matte gold/nude than pink in this one, making it a nice finishing powder to beef up a fading tan

Stereo Rose -Coral with golden bronze shimmering nuances
 
Comfort – Golden bronze
Petticoat – Pale rose with gold and amber veining * the shimmery rose in this one is not all that subtle–use it sparingly. The amber gives skin a golden glow. It’s a pretty party look, or just on just a touch for daytime use when your skin needs a pick me up.
Suggested Retail Price $28.00 U.S./$33.50 CDN
Brush
187 Duo Fibre Face A large, full circular brush
used for lightweight application and blending
of face powder or pigments.
Suggested Retail Price $42.00 U.S./$50.50 CDN
 
Available North America July-August, 2010 at all M·A·C locations 1.800.588.0070 and www.maccosmetics.com
