MAC Pret-A-Papier

MAC, as you already know, puts out many (many) collections per season. i myself can barely keep up, LOL!. their newest collection, Pret-a-Papier, is full of neutral tones with a few splashes of fun color, and i picked up a lipstick (Kraft) and nail lacquer (Brown Bag) last week.



Kraft is creamy and a great better-than-nude-on-me lip shade. i love that i can apply this without a mirror! Brown Bag is a pretty brown nail lacquer that has a hint of shimmer. i love that it almost gives me a mannequin hands look. overall, this is a great group of products sure to keep your look polished and fresh this season.
