Unlike a lot of people out there I am not a “glee” fan. To be honest I have never watched a single episode. But a week ago at my local Sephora I saw the OPI Glee Collection, and the colors are amazing! The collection debuted this past February.The names are inspired by events and premises of the show so if you are “Gleek” then I’m sure you will appreciate it that!

Each individual polish is $9.50

• Diva-in-Training – Step aside Rachel Berry. The next solo is yours with this poppy pink hue
• Gleek Out – A lime, glittery green that will have everyone singing your praises
• Miss Bossy Pants – A rich raspberry as show-stopping as Rachel herself
• Mash-Up – Whether your style is sporty or goth, this pearlescent green gray pulls it all together for a pitch-perfect look
• Slushied – There’s no need to duck from this opaque blue
• Hell to the No – This purple shade might as well be considered liquid-pizzazz
• Who Let the Dorks Out? – All the cool kids aren’t doing it! Express your individuality and inner-Gleek with this statement peacock green

The mini set is $24.00

• Miss Bossy Pants: A rich raspberry as show stopping as Rachel herself
• Slushied: There’s no need to duck from this opaque blue
• Celibacy Club: Even if it’s only part of the show, express your inner angel with this glimmering, diamond top coat (Mini Kit exclusive)
• Gleek Out: A glittery lime green that will have everyone singing your praises
• Sue vs. Shue: Stay a step ahead of the rivalry with this rebellious navy blue (Mini Kit exclusive)
• Express Yourself to Yourself: Even more entertaining than Sue Sylvester in a music video, this coral shimmer shade will have people talking (Mini Kit exclusive)

The chic prints are $15.00 ea.

The only color I picked up when I was there was Hell To The No! But I will go back and try to pick up Slushied.

Hell to the No!

MAC signed Lady Gaga on for a second year as their spokeswoman for their Viva Glam campaign for 2011. As many of you remember Lady Gaga teamed up with Cyndi Lauper for the 2010 campaign. The company said the Gaga-Lauper campaign was the most successful ever for the MAC AIDS Fund, which  raised more than $190 million for the cause since it was founded in 1994.  From images that I have seen to me this looks different from the other Viva Glam shades. It looks to be more of a true nude, and it is the first amplified shade of all the previous Viva Glam colors.

Not only is it beautiful shade to add to your collection but you will also be making a beautiful contribution. Remember that 100% of the earnings from the MAC Viva Glam lipsticks go to the MAC Aids Fund.

US/Canada launch date is February 17, 2011

International launch date is March 2011

MAC has collaborated with Wonder Woman (DC Comics) for their new 2011 Spring Collection. The collection features oversized products, such as their Mineralize Skinfinish, Eyeshadow Quads, Pigment, Opulash, Lipsticks, and Lipglass. But of course that means higher prices. This is due to their inspirations to the”larger than life bold babe”.  The launch date for the Wonder Woman Collection for the US/Canada is February 10, 2011. International launch date is March 2011.

For me, Wonder Woman was not something I watched as a kid so I’m not too excited for their new collection.  The collection seems a little underwhelming and nothing stands out as a must have. The packaging is bright and bold but that may not be appealing to everybody. It almost looks a little cheap to me. For me, it seems that this may  have been the way that toy stores might have  packaged makeup for little girls  back when Wonder Woman was popular.

I’m going to have to skip this collection and save my money for something that is actually worth it. We are in a recession after all and we have to save the money we do have!
