I get excited by all the different makeup collections that are released each season by varying makeup brands so I thought it would be fun to do a bumper post on a few of them for Spring! Would be nice to get everyone's thoughts and opinions on what has caught their eye.
MAC
The limited edition collection by MAC Cosmetics titled Jeanius will be available to buy on March 3rd in the US and will be shortly after for the UK (date to be confirmed). This collection is based around a denim theme with varying shades of blue, grey and also some pinks and purples. Here's a quick overview:
Although very 'novelty', I do think the design of the eyeshadow pan is quite cool!

Stove Pipe Black - a black/gray shade with a copper pearl touch shaped as a metallic jeans snap

CHANEL
Les Perles de Chanel Makeup Collection for spring 2011
This makeup collection by Chanel was inspired by pearls which would embody the iridescent reflections of pearls.
The collection includes a new format of eye shadows – quints Ombres Perlees De Chanel
“CHANEL has created a tailor-made case to hold all of this magic. The classic black case becomes rectangular to contain five iridescent shades captured in a rich cream texture that glides smoothly over the skin. Blanc perlé, Rose porcelaine, Violine clair, Gris vert and Gris noir scintillant offer a bewitching odyssey with each sumptuous and capricious colour. The exquisitely fresh eye shadows are applied easily with the double-tipped foam applicator or fingertips. They can even stray from the eyelids to enliven cheekbones with a touch of shine.”
