Lipstick Powder N Paint

“Diamonds are a girl’s best friend,” so goes the song, and what girl doesn’t love a sparkly diamond? But really, makeup is a girl’s best bud. It’s affordable, enhances your true beauty, and, looks purdy. And talking of purdy, this limited-edition collection from MAC Cosmetics is one you may need to check out.

“MAC Marilyn Monroe, a colour collection that channels the legend’s lustre and sex appeal in shades meticulously Marilyn.”

The lipstick and eyeshadow shades scream fall/winter gorgeousness. (Our faves? Eye shadow in Silver Screen and Lipstick in Scarlet Ibis) And we adore that each box is sealed with a kiss.
