Mac's Spring Offerings

It's hard to keep track of MAC collections  - they seem to launch so many, and so often too. For January, after the opulence of Christmas, there's a fresh and pretty collection of shimmery pastels and sheer shades in a palette of pale pinks, greens and purples.

There are a trio of Mineralize Skinfinishes (€30 each) in the range: among them Lightscapade (a shimmery peach with lavender accents), Perfect Topping (an off-white with pastel shades, pictured here).

There are two eye pencils (€18 each) in Taupe and Slate and lots of Mineralize Eye Shadow (€22.50 each), in Spiritual Life (a shimmery pale lemon), Natural Vigor (a Champagne peach), Uninhibited (a shimmery light grey), Leap (a shimmer lavender), Force of Nature (a shimmery brown) and Just Breathe (a shimmery light blue, pictured).

For lips, Mineralize Rich Lipsticks (€19.50 each) pop up in Be Fabulous (a pastel pink), Luxe Natural (a light beige), Dreaminess (a cool pink), Style Surge (a neutral coral) and Touch the Earth (light brown, pictured here). There are also Mineralize Glass lip glosses (€24) in Poetic (a pinky Champagne), Loose & Lively (a peachy orange), On Cue (a gold pearl), Beautiful Moves (a pearly mint) and Boundless Energy (a violet pink, pictured).

There's two shades of Mineralize Blush (€27): Uplifting (a peach with orange marble) and Please Yourself (a light pink with plum marble, pictured) and two lovely Nail Lacquers (€10) in Lightness of Being, a pale beige, and Modern Movement, a pale lavender.

The collection rounds off with three brushes: 287 Duo Fibre Eye Shadow (€32.50), 159 Duo Fibre Blush (€40.50) and 187 Duo Fibre Face (€46.50).
