Welcome to another MAC Week/Summer of MAC post! The good news continues as I tell you the latest on what MAC cosmetics has to offer...Every July MAC puts out an exclusive collection for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Normally it consists of brush sets and palettes. This July it's called Graphic Garden and it's probably the first MAC for Nordstrom collection I might go buy!
Did ya know?? Nordstrom was the first department store to stock MAC.
Brush Bags ($49.50) A black and white twill bag with a separate brush holder featuring a rose or poppy pattern.
I'm not one for MAC brushes primarily because of the price. As a matter of fact...only because of the price. Other than that I do think that MAC delivers some high quality brushes that just about every beauty addict covets. I'm leaning towards the Define and Blend primarily because of the 129 and 209 brushes. The Shape and Perfect collection does have the 187 and the 168 brushes (my two fave mac brushes...or some of them) I already own the 187 (from the MAC Heirlooms collection) so I don't think I want another one. Maybe.
Eye Shadow 6 Palette ($38.00) A black metal compact with a black and white plaque featuring the repeat signature MAC logo that morphs (holographic) into a black and white floral pattern when viewed from different angles.
I'm not one for palettes. It's not my thing. But they are convenient and the packaging is super super cute! I'm leaning towards Fresh Cut because I have tons of blues in my eyeshadow collection so Graphic Garden would be a waste of cash in my opinion.

**sigh** lip products...what I live for. everything from the colors to the packaging has got me craving these lip bags. If I can just have one thing from this entire collection, I want it to be Baby Bloom. It's just too gorgeous to pass up!
Summer Crop Lip Bag
- Lipstick: Semi-Annual (Lustre)

Baby Blooms Lip Bag
- Lipstick: Soft Illusion (Frost)

This is new to MAC. At least, I've never seen MAC do one of those look-in-a-box kits. I kind of like it but the downside is if the beauty powder doesn't look good on you you're stuck with it even if the lipglass is TDF (to die for). I'd rather have a beauty powder that fits my skin tone than
