Holiday Gift Idea: Daphne Guinness x M.A.C Cosmetics

If you're a fan of MAC Cosmetics or if you have a lusting obsession over one of the fashion industry favourites, Daphne Guinness, you'll be as thrilled as we are to know that she has collaborated with MAC Cosmetics to bring us a 24 piece line. Surprisingly, the colours and palettes looks extremely wearable and flattering even, supposedly coming from a very eccentric and unique style icon like Daphne Guinness herself. 

“When we first started working on colors, [Guinness] pulled a tiny watercolor case out of her handbag and, using her own saliva, began mixing colors immediately!” said James Gager, Creative Director of MAC Worldwide. “She created original colors and yet was also very conscientious about creating a collection that people could relate to.”

What's more, the line is said to be inspired by pigeon's blood, how the intricate wings of a butterfly resemble the images of deepest space and outer space but don't be skeptical and make a quick judgement till you see for yourself, the beautiful hues of deep plum and charcoal grey.

The collection features 4 shades of 'Longwear Lipcreme' lipstick, 4 'Cremesheen Glass' lip gloss, 4 'Interior Life Eyeshadow Quad', 3 pigments, 2 'Powerpoint Pencil' eye liner, 2 brow pencil, 2 'Blush Ombre' cheek blush, and 3 'Nail Lacquer' nail polishes.

 

The nail polishes have already made its way to my list of must-haves for this holiday season, especially the Blueblood Deep Eggplant shade (first in the picture).

Sadly for us who don't live in the US, the line will only be available internationally from January 2012, so we'll just have to hang in there till then. However, it will be launched on the 26th of December in the US. The line will also be available online at www.maccosmetics.com. Anyone else looking forward to seeing them in stores?
