Admiring
both the makeup design and the fashion, an assortment of media
personalities, fashion designers, makeup artists, celebrity
hairdressers, drag queens and PR-types mingled , sipping champers
and sangrias in the Art Deco mural hall.
The visual spectacular
began w/ a display of gorgeous skimpy little #’s (that
you can really only wear on a catwalk…..)! Preceding the
appearance of the much-anticipated M.A.C icons, Ru Paul
and Kd Lang - storming down the runway in full MAC style!
Above and beyond
the fashion extravaganza, M.A.C verified that 100% of lipstick
sales from "Viva Glam" I and II, donated to AIDS research,
benefits local programs.
On a worldwide
scale, M.A.C have raised $15 million for the AIDS cause –
how brilliant!
"Back to M.A.C"
the irresistible recycling scheme w/ a free lipstick incentive
(in addition to the environmental benefits…) was another
highlighted bonus. Can other cosmetic companies please take
note…..

Lina's M.A.C fix:
Viva Glam lipcolour
– I couldn’t resist!
I’m impressed
w/ M.A.C’s latest lipstick formulation! In comparison to
other M.A.C lipsticks I bought years ago that were very dry…
This is a gorgeous
true red – almost like the original ‘50’s bombshell
colour – it’s exactly the colour I’ve been looking
for, for about 2 years!
