MAC Summer Collections 2008 101
Summer is a busy, crowded time at the MAC counter – here’s a handy-dandy guide that provides you with all you need to know about each new summer collection:
Collection: Neo Sci Fi
What it is: This collection runs the gamut of colors from hot fluorescent nail polishes, to beiges and flesh tones.
How you’ll recognize it at the counter: The bright orange packaging
Stand-out product/color: At first glance The Beauty Bug seems to think She’s seen these colors before, and nothing grabs Her attention.
Song to coincide with collection: The Beastie Boys, Intergalactic
Collection: Future Earth
What it is: A collection of skin care, including Charged Water, Prep & Prime Microfine Lip Refinisher and Volcanic Exfoliator, that promises to be earth shattering.
How you’ll recognize it at the counter: Let your nose lead you to the smell of volcanic ash, the key ingredient used in the Volcanic Ash Exfoliator.
Stand-out product/color: The Beauty Bug can’t wait to try the Volcanic Ash Exfoliator – it’s mineral and sulfur rich formula that contains naturally harvested ash from the island of Vanuatu.
Song to coincide with collection: Justin Timberlake, FutureSex/LoveSound
Collection: Solar Field
What is it: Powerful, rich pearlized pigments that add shine and sparkle to cheeks and eyes. Wear alone, or mix with bronzer.

Stand-out product/color: Hush Hush is perfect for a day at the beach.
Song to coincide with collection: Elvis, Love me Tender
Collection: Cool Heat
What is it: A collection of teal, violet and blue eye shadows, skin-cooling fragrances and neutral and coral slimshine lipsticks.
How you’ll recognize it at the counter: Because it’s the perfect paradox – hot corals mixed with chilled blues.

This is off subject – but when you wrote the Stila Cherry Crush post you said “Beauty Bug Fiance” instead of the usual B.B. Boyfriend. Does this mean that you are recently engaged? If so, congratulations! :)
