This was kinda posted on my blog and kinda posted on Specktra. Since I used to freelance at this store, I wanted everyone that I know to get the scoop before the general public was informed.

French graffiti artist Fafi is creating an ENORMOUS collection for MAC Cosmetics.

Also, there is a one-of-a-kind party going down!!! If you are in the Tyson's Corner, VA area, you MUST be there!!!!!!!Only 5 other Macy's in the country will have this event. It's HUGE for the company, so if you are in the area, you BETTER be there!!! The event is Thursday, March 6 through Saturday, March 8th. So here's the deal...
There will be approx. 25 artists here from all over the region, including the MAC "Dream Team" (basically, the top artists from all of the counters/stores in the region) The 3 models, the "Fafinettes" will be there! Monoko, the fafinette who loves to host parties and have a great time will be filming and giving out CD's to upload to facebook and or myspace!!! There will even be a graffiti wall that you can sign!!! Apparently the dolls and scarves will only be sold in stores. The website will be launching the first week in February, www.macfafi.com or www.mac-fafi.com. You'll be able to send virtual gifts online and see the entire collection with other cool stuff. I will be at the event, and I'll have pictures, hopefully a youtube video or two, and some interviews going on as well. This collection is going to be absolutely amazing!!!

Here's my take on the collection...
I truly believe that this collection will have tons of staple products for the Spring. I always take advantage of collections like this, especially those amazing lipglass and lipsticks!!! The blushes are absolutely adorable, maybe not all over the cheek, but definitely on the apple. I have to play with them first to find out. You know how it goes, they also say we can't wear Dollymix, but it's absolutely HOT on brown skin!!! Especially if you use Ambering Rose on the apply and along the cheekbone and Dollymix on the apple. Yum!!! The quads contain very light colors, so you probably won't need to pack the shadows on, just add a wash of color on the lid. I believe any of these colors will look AMAZING with a Mineralized Skin Finish Natural Powder in your crease. This is so amazing, its the perfect crease color! I use deep dark.

The paint pots will definitely be mine, probably all of them. Bases are so important, and if you are into color like me, you gotta have em! Plus, my blue boy and infamous paints from back in the day are running out! Of course, you can use painterly or groundwork and put any shadow or pigment over them, but honestly, colorful bases are so much more fun!!
I'm an NC50, and from the looks of the pics and the descriptions, I'll be wearing this collection for Spring, Summer and beyond!!!!!!!!!

Ooohhh I love Fafi's work. I can already imagine the types of colors. Its probably off the chain. For someone who only wears makeup occasionally I spend way too much money on Mac.

Do It!!! (I might be working at the event that day, haven't decided yet)

Oh, here's a lil bit more about Fafi....

-This collection is all about toned down kin with heavier emphasis on eyes and a girly mouth
-Colorful but the texture is light, sheer and buildable
-The quads have at least one shade that is a more basic neutral, to compliment another shade that's more fun!

The number is 703.893.4900 ext. 473! :yep:

OK! Thanks LilChocolateMa. If I don't make it out there, I will surely stop by Bowie, G St., or Columbia to at least see the collection and beg for a make over. :grin:
