Figure skater Johnny Weir is known for putting plenty of pizzazz into his routines on the rink, whether he’s sporting Ke$ha-esque glitter and sequins or rocking Lady GaGa-like costumes on the ice (or a little bit of both). So who better suited to lend his own inspiration to MAC’s upcoming Holiday Collection than the fabulous Ice Prince himself? The Glitter & Ice collection, set to hit shelves late this month, is gorgeously wintry without being too literal, courtesy of plenty of icy pastels, soft shimmer, and the occasion surprise dose of cranberry red. While the festive new colors encapsulate everything from lipsticks and Dazzleglasses to nail lacquers and Beauty Powder, my favorite pieces definitely come in the form of the icy eye shadows and liners. Silver-swirled Mineralize Shadows in six sugarplum-fairy-inspired shades make for a beautiful winter-festive take on traditional springy colors, and I’m intrigued by the muted jewel-toned liners! Do any of these sparkly pastel shades speak to you loud enough to put them on your holiday wishlist?

Here’s another MAC collection that is coming to a MAC counter near you this month. MAC Matchmaker Foundation for Fall 2011 with SPF 15. This collection is perfect for women of all races who struggles with finding the perfect color match.
With our all races credo, we’re redefined what a perfect match should be with new Matchmaster Foundation SPF 15 technoloigy, using translucent pigments to create a formula that enables a fully personalized finish influenced by the subtleties of your own skin tone. Adding to Matchmaster’s true-to-life appeal is its moisturizing demi-matte finish, medium buildable coverage, and line-reducing soft focus powders. Add the fact that this formula reduces excess shine-creating oil, and who could resist?
