WAAAAA the kitty goddess must have heard my plea for more teasers! Checkout what Temptalia’s just posted!

WAAAAAAA KITTY!!!! I’M DEAD EXCITED!!!! Read more from Temptalia.com *meow*

Teaser #1 from Macneil59 of Specktra:

Rose Romance is a spring collection consisting of pink tones (clearly) in eyeshadows, blushes, and lips. I (stupidly) did not get pics or names of the products, but I did see them backstage this season. I also saw colours from the Hello Kitty collection, two of the Hair Mineralize skinfinishes, Blonde and Redhead, didn’t see brunette, and I got to play with the penultimate liner.

Teaser #2 from Janis of Specktra:

I’ve had this confirmed. 100% going to happen, concretely. Just FYI.

Remember Barbie Loves MAC?

Just got a word from Kang (MAC Glorietta):

Giftable ways to exceed the need for glamour with everything a seductive girl needs to get seriously sophisticated, sensually adept. Gathered together with great style, grandiloquent presentation. Impossible to survive the season without! The perfect holiday must have! Passions of Red, Little Darlings, Passionately Red, and Adoring Carmine. Now available at MAC Rustan’s Makati.

MATTES: 15, Antique Pink. 21, Vanilla Cream. 32, Chocolate.
SHIMMERS: 64, Amethyst. 75, Gold. 88, Black Diamond.

Antique Pink -  A must have for bridal eye work

Vanilla Cream - A great base and eye lid brightener

Chocolate - Looks very much like MAC Espresso

Amethyst - My favorite (at least the ones here) ARTDECO mineral eyeshadow! I wore this last night and I got props from B. *wink*

Gold - I wasn’t supposed to get this but it won me over when I tried it on the corner of my eyelid.

Black Diamond - hands down: a chic rock star staple!

Damage: 1.5g = Php 599.75 each

There are 24 colors over their website but only 8 colors are here in MNL (I’ll get the other 2 next payday heehee). Like the signature ARTDECO eye shadows, they glide like butter and last forever! The mattes are never flat and the shimmers aren’t chunky. Definitely 2 thumbs up from The Swiper.
