I feel validated as a human being when two of the world’s most innovative and quality cosmetics manufacturers celebrate pop culture. Not even ashamed. Some of you might remember my complete meltdown when M.A.C. announced its Rick Baker collection (which was amazing, by the way, you can see my experiment here), and my emotions have again went into Earthquake Pill Mode after the two consecutive announcements made this week.
Yesterday, Urban Decay showcased their new “Pulp Fiction” inspired collection on their Instagram feed. The line will feature exclusive lip, nail, pencil, and liner shades, as well as a neutral shadow palette. No word on whether you will be able to purchase as a set, but individual prices range from $19 – $34. The pros: you can (and I will) do both pre- and post- OD Mia looks with this kit. The con? It does not seem to be available for pre-order yet.
MAC teased their Marge Simpson collection a couple months ago, and I didn’t post the news because I wanted all the juicy details. The collection will be available online on August 23 and in stores on September 5, but Comic Con attendees will have an opportunity for a one day sale of the items. Prices range from $16.50 to $44.
It will include a pressed blush in a pink that definitely speaks to an animation palette while still being wearable on every skin tone, and a set of lashes that are just dead-on Marge. There’s a lip gloss, and not pictured are nail stickers. MAC can be very surprising when it comes to their pop culture lines. The Wonder Woman palettes, for instance, came in shades of blue, green, and rose – all shades that aren’t directly associated with Diana but upon consideration, definitely a spectrum that reminded me of comics on newsprint paper. But this time around it looks like they went a bit more literal, and I have zero complaints. My only wish is that the collection comes with a makeup gun.
Absolutely one of my all time favorite Simpsons moments.
I’ll definitely be adding these items to my stash, and I’ll share some pics on my Instagram after I play!
