MAC Cult of Cherry Collection

I am loving the way Mac is promoting their newest collection ‘Cult of Cherry.’ Seriously, after watching this video, I wasn’t sure what to do first: head to maccosmetics.com or find the nearest fruit vendor and purchase a massive amount of cherries which can be immediately devoured.  And I love how there was no hint or mention of makeup. You might only be able to get at the end when they focused in on her dark nails and cherry colored lips. I sent the link over to my coworker sitting across from me and after watching it she didn’t even know it was for a cosmetics collection. You gotta love Mac!

I am loving this collection. I know if I dig through my collection, I’ll probably find that I have most of the similar colors, but they look good together all in that palette! The one pictured above is the Spiced Chocolate palette. I also have my eye on the Tempting palette, the 2 blushes, and of course, the ‘Cult of Cherry’ lipglass. Ooh, my credit cards are silently weeping!

Welcome to CMG!

Hello and welcome to the world of CMG! My name is Irene and to give you a brief introduction to my world, where does one begin? I’m a young soul living on the streets of New York City. And by ‘the streets’ I mean my small little place on the Upper East Side from where I write to you now. My 9-5 career resides in the advertising industry, but my heart belongs in my makeup traincase and browsing Sephora, Mac, and every other deliciously color website full of cosmetics there is out there. I breathe and yearn for knowledge about cosmetics, skincare, and owning more and MORE of it. All of us makeup junkies know that there is NO SUCH THING AS TOO MUCH. Even when we acquire enough so that our children and their children will have enough to use through their lifetimes, we still continue to buy more. It even gets to the point where one red lipgloss looks exactly like the next shade of red lipgloss to the average joe, but not to us! We’re able to distinguish the faintest difference in shades. WHY? Because we’re sick and addicted. But there is no 800 number for us to call. Nope. We’re doomed. We can only share in each other’s passion and talk about it and really help each other. And that’s where I thought up of my precious baby www.ColorMeGorgeous.com

I know there’s so many sites like it out there, but mostly they’re the big guys, funded by enormous advertising budgets used by big companies to spy on us poor consumers to use us like labrats. I remember a time when there was a particular site that used to be so small and personal, but then it got bought out and changed its name, and lost all sense of its community. But anyway, I’m not here to bash on anything, that’s not what I do. I just wanted to create a little community where beauty junkies such as myself can come to talk on the forum, discuss products. I even had a review engine put up called ‘critic’s corner’ so people can review products and look up reviews. Also thought it would be fun to have monthly contests on the site which there always are! Just want there to be a nice little place on the internet where we can come and talk about our little addictions Hope you all like it and would love to hear any thoughts!
