MAC x Giambattista Valli

Hello, all.  I'm really excited about sharing this collection with you!

As I'm sure most of you already know, MAC came out with a collaboration with fashion designer Giambattista Valli which consisted of five colorful matte lipsticks and a crystal glossy glaze.

First thing's first.  I was extremely disappointed that the release date was changed very suddenly without any prior notice.  They were supposed to be released on MAC's website on July 2nd and in stores on July 9th.  Nordstrom was supposed to release them online at 12AM on July 6th, but they weren't.  They weren't released on MAC's website until July 9th at 6:00 am PST.  They don't release to the public what time the collections are available online, so you can either stay up all night until they're released or hope and pray that the items you want are still available when you wake up.  It's quite frustrating. 

That aside, all five shades are beautiful, but I only ordered my two favorites at the time: Charlotte and Eugenie.  I love that the packaging for each lipstick matches the lipstick shade.  These are absolutely stunning.

*Update:  I won a giveaway on Instagram and have received the shade Tats (the one I was kicking myself for not buying).  I'm so lucky and so thankful to mua.mariaarias (IG) for offering this in her giveaway.  I've added the pictures of Tats at the end.*

I was once again given the choice between three complimentary products, so this time I chose the Strobe Cream.


Did you pick up anything from this collection?  Apparently Bianca B has been a hit for a lot of people, but it looks way too pale for me.

Thank you for stopping by!  Have a great week!  :)
