MAKE-ME-UP: MAC Après Chic Limited Collection

It's been awhile since I've done a beauty post so you KNOW I had to let you know about MAC's latest collection that is totally stealing my heart right now. I'm completely obsessed with warm colors and this collection is nothing short of amazing, plus the bright orange knitted sweater/hoodie is to die for! MAC launched the Après Chic limited edition collection right after Christmas, so it's now available until February 6, 2013 (so that means you have less than two weeks to get your hands on these beauties)! Check out the collection below:

 

This gorgeous look starts with luminous M·A·C Mineralize Skinfinish and Mineralize Blush applied with the 187 Duo Fibre Face Brush. Use the 287 Duo Fibre Eye Shadow Brush to build layers of dimensional colour with Mineralize Eye Shadow. Mineralize Tinted Lip Balm packs lips with moisture, while adding the right pop of colour and shine. And, because eventually the mittens will come off, Nail Lacquer in Dangerously Fun heats things up in blazing berry red.
