Dreaming of Spring 2014: MAC Fantasy of Flowers + a Phlox Flower Fairy
Polar vortex this Mother Nature. This is the upcoming MAC Fantasy of Flowers collection of lush garden-inspired hues. Come, let's mentally flip Ma Nature the bird and pretend together that it's Spring as we peruse.
mac fantasy of flowers for eyes
MAC Fantasy of Flowers Mineralize Eye Shadows ($21 USd/$25 CDN) clockwise from bottom left: MAC Pink Sensibilities, MAC In the Meadow, MAC Golden Hours, and MAC Great Beyond.
MAC Fantasy of Flowers Fluidline ($16 USd/$19 CDN), MAC Phlox Garden. How much do we love the word phlox? Phlox, phlox, phlox. Makes me think of the Flower Fairies books we had as kids.
See? The Phlox Fairy, by Cicely Mary Barker. (Now I want to say "Phlox off, polar vortex!" and maybe that's just wrong. Oops.)
MAC Fantasy of Flowers Fluidline ($16 USd/$19 CDN), MAC Sassy Moss. There's no Sassy Moss Flower Fairy.
MAC Fantasy of Flowers Pigment ($21 USd/$25 CDN), MAC Lily-White, MAC Chartreuse Bouquet, MAC Violet, and MAC Pink Pearl.
MAC Haute & Naughty Lash ($21 USd/$25 CDN) -- if you haven't tried this mascara, it's a nifty two-in-one with a wand for packing on the pigment, and another for defining the lashes. Brushes: 286 Duo Fibre Tapered Blending ($32 USd/$38.50 CDN), 159 Duo Fibre Blush ($35 USd/$42 CDN), and 187 Duo Fibre Face ($42 USd/$50.50 CDN).

Hey, I have a question. When I first started Beautygeeks, I included US as well as Canadian pricing. Eventually I let go of the US pricing because I felt that Canadian readers don't need the reminder that our prices are higher. But would you prefer to see both?
