M.A.C. N Collection: Neutral Faces, Ladies!

So, speaking of natural shoes, M.A.C.'s about to launch their "N" Collection -- a bouquet of beautimous nude and partially nude shades that provide just a touch of universally flattering natural color. The line was featured all over the runway during New York S/S '08 Fashion Week by Luca Luca, Preen, Tuleh and Bill Blass. The collection should be the perfect way to wear loud, fun bright dresses and stuff and not look like a tran-tran, a creepy party clown, a batshit old lady, or an Eastern European ice skater. I'm especially excited for the lipsticks:.



I'm also psyched for the milk chocolatey nail polish in "Naturally Rich."


M.A.C. "N" hits stores Thursday, January 10, which is tomorrow, if you have ESP!

Beauty Binge: MAC Mattene Lipstick In Flattering

Sooooooo... clearly FashionBinge is mainly about fashion, but it occurred to me the other day when I was switching bags and transferred about 18 lipsticks and glosses from one bag to the other: I have a beauty addiction. And lipsticks and glosses are my drug of choice. So, instead of admitting I have a probzor, I've decided to blog about it instead...

My newest acquisition is a MAC lipstick from their new Mattene matte line -- perf for fall, y'all!! The shade I have and am McLovin' is "Flattering," which is described as a beige pink semi-matte. On pasty-ass me, it's extremely pale but gorgeous and more peach than pink without any annoying old lady coral qualities. And it's super smooth yet light at the same time, and bish stayed on for HOURS without any icky build-up. This is the perfect complement to dramatic, smoky eyes.

The line hits October 4.

(I THINK this is Flattering, but I couldn't tell for sure.)
