M.A.C Launches Marilyn Monroe Collection!
Are you ready to rock pin up girl red lipstick and have your skirt blown up this fall? MAC cosmetics is teaming up with Authentic Brands Group, who recently bought the branding rights to Marilyn Monroe, for a new and exciting collection set to be released in October of 2012.
There is no greater muse than the late, great Marilyn for a brand known for being daring, fun loving and ready for any adventure. I haven’t been this excited about an inspired launch in a very long time. This special and limited edition collection promises to be extensive with 30 pieces in eye shadows, eyeliners, lipsticks and nail polishes.
Not much information has been released at this time, but I will continue to update with press photos and more specific collection information as it becomes available.

oooft want to try them all!
Cica
I would love to try them, but Mac doesn't sell in my country...
Keley W
I second that! :( bumsies
Angela
I am disappointed that this collection sold out so quickly. It was silly to hype it so much, then not release a reasonable quantity.
Tami
It's sold out!, I'm so disappointed- I wanted several pieces in this collection- they are all beautiful!
Allis
I'm so obsessed with this new collection. I love the idea! I will probably have to wait until I see this at a makeup discounted store because there's no way that I can afford this(: but awesome collection!
keeley
Hey I am entering your collab for your giveaway and I just wanted to say I love your videos ever since you started
Angela
Thanks for the sweet words! I can't wait for this either. xo

I am so excited about this collection! I hope we will have it in my country soon, because I am dying to try a red lipstick! Hugs!
Marta
I'm so excite to see this Marilyn collection and to read: Hey Marta, you win the giveaway Mac/Nars ! Hahaha. Back to the collection, I think that we'll to see much red ( lipsticks and nails ) and a eyeshadows/eyeliners in white, black, browns. For cheeks rose-coral blushes. And a big highlight for eyebrows. I think... Sorry my english. Xoxo from Brazil
Mattie
Marilyn Monroe + Mac?! Done Deal! Soo excited!
Alice
I'm SO excited for this line! I'm such a sucker for cute packaging and I hope they have nice colors in the collection...something wearable
Kristen
oh my goodness. i have been looking for information on new Mac Collections. I am so excited for this to come out! <3
Bethany
It seems like MAC puts out a collection every month! lol I kinda feel the "specialness" wearing off with all these collection releases. While I like MAC - I think it would be more fun if they just did one collection per year. I know I'm probably alone in this.....but it seems like they would be better thought out and more unique if they happened less often.
Brenda C.
I'd better get a jump on this. I'm still bummed that I missed out on the reel sexy collection.
blia

Curious as to how compatible the red lipstick is to all skintones, or will it just be for Marilyn's color? excited.

jennifer
OH MY!!! I can't wait for this to launch. The lipstick.....i must have 2 of every shade their going to offer, one to use and one to never be touched!
Jamie
I love Marilyn of course she is an icon. I am a bit skeptical about the collection since the Hey Sailor was very pin up like. Although I do think the packaging may be vintage like. I think that would be very neat! Of course classic reds,and pinks. I also think that there will be a blush that is very close to what Marilyn actually wore! Maybe an eyeliner pen for that perfect winged liner!
Angela
You can comment anywhere! Thanks for visiting. xo
Julia
Yay!! I'm so excited for this new line!!! Love Marilyn!!!
Angela
Thank you! Please do visit often. I'll be starting a new series called Best of the Web and we'll be showcasing some really amazing Youtube talent and fantastic bloggers. Thanks for stopping by! xo

Love Marilyn! Such a good make up inspiration, she's so beautiful. My room is filled with pictures of her! Can't wait for this collection to come out :)
Corbin Murray
Omg! Super exciting. Looking forward to a tutorial with some of the products from you then right?;) love your page!
Kat
I've heard rumors about this collection... I'm glad they were true! I sincerely hope the quality of product will match the gorgeous packaging that I imagine would be pretty amazing. This is The Legendary Marilyn Monroe we're talking here. The product and presentation has to do her iconic status justice. Underneath the sexpot image she was a smart gal. Maybe not book smart, but life smart.
Sara
I love Marilyn Monroe! I can't wait to check out the new collection! PS: I'm a subscriber to your youtube.
Kirstie
I have never purchased Mac before, but this will def be one of my first! Your post inspired me to also do a blog post on this collection! Thank you! <3
