MAC'S Disney CINDERELLA Collection

MAC Disney's CINDERELLA Collection

The MAC CINDERELLA Collection

I don't know about you, but the Story of Cinderella has been one of my most favorite Disney Fairy Tales since I was a little girl. I would go into the Epic Tale of Cinderella and how she found her Prince, but I am sure that we all know it. It is such a Classic Love Story that so many little girls dream of and know so well. So I was so Happy when MAC made a piece of my dream come true, by releasing a Makeup Collection based on the Fairy Tale. I had resisted the urge to spend my Christmas MAC gift card, and I am so happy that I did. I honestly felt like a Princess playing with the makeup, because it is so beautifully packaged and presented. I am so excited to wear the makeup and watch the remake of the movie coming out this month. I am going to share with you what I got, because a lot of it has sold out online. PLEASE don't fret my pretties, the Collection is Going to Be Available in MAC stores on March 5th. 

Here's what I Chose from the Epic Collection:

Knee High Socks F/W Fashion Trend

Knee High Socks

The Sock that Keeps Kickin' It...

Knee Socks are not only one of the longest running fashion trends, but one of the most stylish fashion trends for this upcoming Fall/Winter Season. They seem to be everywhere I look lately that I can't miss them. I see them in stores, online, and in all the fashion magazines. I can't help but smile when I see them featured, because I love wearing them so much. Knee Socks have been around forever and they have long been a favorite of mine to wear. This is mainly due to the fact that you can wear them all year round and in so many different ways. They are so versatile in the way that you can style them, that I have almost found a way to incorporate them into a look for every thing that I do. If I counted my collection including thigh high socks (another Great Fashion Staple),  it would probably be close to over 100 pairs collected over the years. This might seem like a lot to some, but remember that they come in so many different colors, patterns, and styles and can be worn all year long. So when I was asked by Chrissy's Knee Socks to do a write up on Knee Socks, I did not hesitate to say "Yes"! I had already bought from the brand in the past and I am a Huge Fan of the Knee Sock!

Chrissy Knee Sock's in an online store that offers hundreds of knee socks for you to choose from. The Knee Socks range from solids to the most funky socks you could ever imagine. You can even customize your own knee sock. That is next on my list! They are also proudly made in America! Chrissy Knee Socks is the best place to get your knee socks from because of the variety to choose from and the price. They are of excellent quality and comfort!

Now I am going to show you a few ways I like to  wear them. If I were to show you all the ways, well there would be hundreds of photos. So here are a few photos of the ways I like to wear them. Hopefully they will inspire you to pull some on and see what you've been missing!

We Both Love and Have Knee Socks!

Final Thoughts:

I hope you enjoyed this post and it inspired you to get out there and wear some Knee Socks. These were just some of the ways that you can wear them, but there are so many other ways and styles to chose from. I think that is why the Knee Sock has never really gone out of style, because they are so versatile and loved by so many. I really hope you enjoyed this post and please go to http://www.kneehighsocks.org to check out Chrissy's Knee Sock's and her Vast Selection of Socks! They really are Incredible! Enjoy!

Proenza Schouler MAC Collaborate

Proenza Schouler and MAC Collaborate and it's one to Celebrate!!

Proenza Schouler MAC Attack!!!!

I had been eagerly awaiting this collaboration for many months. I remember the very day that I heard about it and though to myself "Nooo, that can't be"! I have been a Huge Fan of MAC for almost a decade and a Huge Fan of Proenza Schouler for almost three years. I first learned of the brand when I was gifted a fabulous bag and I was like "who is this Proenza Schouler" and "why don't I know of them" as my friends looked at me in shock and pity! It was an instant love that goes on well to this day! Now on to the Collaboration: I am going to share with you what I chose from the collection and why.

Here is what I purchased from the Collection:

Nail Laquer in Thimbleweed

I chose Thimbleweed out of the four shades to pick from because it is a classic pinkish nude. It is right on trend with the hint of pink hue in it for Spring and it will be wearable all year round! The other colors are beautiful and believe me I would get them all if I could. I wanted to add that I have had the polish on for three full days now in the picture and have had not one chip. I am very impressed and I know this is quickly going to become my favorite!

Satin Lipstick in Pink Fringe, Blush Ombre in Sunset Beach, Brush 129 

I picked Pinkfringe as my lip shade because once again Pink is so on Trend for the Spring and Summer. I was so tempted to get the lighter nude beige shade, but I am so happy with this color that I picked. It just makes me think and feel Happy when I put it on. The packaging of the Lipstick is different than MAC's normal Lipstick packaging in not only the design but the shape. The Lipstick is a square shape and it makes it look and feel so much more glamorous than a regular MAC lipstick.

I picked the Blush Ombre in Sunset Beach over the more Orange Tone one because I plan to wear it with the lipstick and it such a beautiful pink tone to brighten up your face. The blush has a lighter and darker side, so you can pick which side you feel like wearing or swirl them together. It is so fun to play with and has excellent staying power!

There was only one Brush in the Collection and it is a 129. It is like a shorter more glamorous version of the 129 and it is great for applying blush and powder. I have even contoured with it and it worked great!

The last thing that I purchase was the Limited Edition Tote Bag. The bag measure 14x14x7 and it seems a lot bigger in person. I had to get this bag not only because it will come in handy, but it is Fabulous and well made. I love using bags like this when I am out shopping to carry my smaller bags or when grocery shopping to help save on waste. I also had to get this bag because this was how I was first introduced to Proenza Schouler, by a simple gorgeous fabulous bag that I will always remember!

Final Thoughts:

This Collection was everything I thought it was going to be and more. I am so happy that I was lucky enough to get a little a bit of it. Even the Boxes that the Products came in were Amazing.  They have the same matching M∙A∙C Proenza Schouler's signature colour gradient design as the packaging on the products.

Usually I toss my MAC boxes as soon as I open my Product
but I am keeping these for inspiration.

The collection also has some lip pencils and eye pencils to choose from. There is even a fabulous T-Shirt to buy!! I hope you enjoyed this post and have a wonderful day! Please share with me if you have or do end up buying any of the collection. I did not go into too much detail on the Products and Collaboration because they can all be found here on the MAC site: http://www.maccosmetics.com/whats_new/12563/New-Collections/Proenza-Schouler/index.tmpl
