new mac collections

So, here's the deal.....again. I got home on Sunday after a week in Florida visiting my parents. Friday night before we left for our 2 day, 15 hour road trip home, little MJ woke up around midnight with a raging fever and cough...any who has ever dealt with croup knows what happened for the next 3 days. He went to bed at 8 p.m. and woke up every night at midnight and was up until 5 a.m.. He finally slept in Monday night, but the hubby and I now have whatever viral crap he had. So sickness on top of 3 nights of no sleep make me want to cry but mostly stay in bed.

And you may be wondering about Jenn's whereabouts. Well, she is doing better from her sickness last week, but she has had a death in the family and is currently out of town dealing with all of that. So, it's been a weird couple of weeks to say the least. I'm going to try to post the rest of the week, but depending on how the sickness works out it may not be every day.

So...back to beauty news.... I have had info on the last 5 or 6 MAC collections that I keep meaning to put up here, but something always seems to come up. There is one that I want to talk about real quick only because I was literally just talking about this with my parents, while I was drooling over there new fancy HD flatscreen TV. I noticed how horrible some of the guys looked on preseason football and when my dad would switch to a non-hd channel, you totally couldn't tell this one guy had bloodshot eyes and wrinkles all over the place. And I was saying how now makeup companies are coming out with HD worthy makeup.

And what was waiting for me in my inbox when I got home?

Info on MAC's new In High Def Collection. The new Collection consists of 4 lipstick shades, Mineralize Skinfinish, and Body and Face Foundation. The whole idea behind HD makeup is to blend, blend, blend so it looks like you have nothing on but still look fabulous. Any little cakey spot or line is going to show and that's a big no-no.
