Wednesday, January 9th, 2008 MAC Cosmetics: A Mei Makeup Collection
A Taiwanese pop sensation, the yin-yang of her personality are celebrated in this iconic signature colour collection. Bold for her rocker side. Low-key and neutral for those soft pop moods. This is A Mei, in all her shades - up close and personal.
A Mei: 3 Neutral Eyes (LE). Three shades of Eye Shadow in a black compact featuring the traditional needlework pattern of A Mei’s native Taiwan embroidered onto a plaque insert. Each colourwave in the collection has its own colour signature: Blue/Fuchsia for Bold, Red/Yellow for Neutral. Limited Edition. US $30.00.
A Mei: 3 Bold Eyes (LE). Three shades of Eye Shadow in a black compact featuring the traditional needlework pattern of A Mei’s native Taiwan embroidered onto a plaque insert. Each colourwave in the collection has its own colour signature: Blue/Fuchsia for Bold, Red/Yellow for Neutral. Limited Edition. US $30.00.
MAC For A Mei Lipstick. MAC Lipstick featuring the traditional needlework pattern of A Mei’s native Taiwan screened onto the case. Two colors available: Siss, A Muted golden beige (satin), and Ruby Woo, A Vivid blush red (matte). Ruby Woo is pictured. I just checked the MAC site and Siss lipstick has already SOLD OUT! Be sure you grab these quick!
MAC For a Mei Lipglass (LE). Limited Edition Lipglass featuring the traditional needlework pattern of A Mei's native Taiwan screened onto the cap. Two colors available: She's A Star, A Lustre-shined light neutral gold (Frost), and Love Rules, A Fuchsia with white sparkle pearl (Frost). US $14.00. Love Rules is pictured.
MAC, you are killing me and my bank account, literally! The, A Mei Collection, is now available online. Not only did the A Mei Collection release today, So, did the N Color Collection! My Wallet just can't take this abuse! But, I just can't say NO! Really, there should be a some kind of AAA classes for MAC, because I know there's alot of us out there!
This morning, at 5am to be precise, I was writing an article for my blog, and I saw the MAC Cosmetics email pop up. It went down hill from that point on! I knew MAC would be releasing these two collections about the same time. I ordered the entire, A Mei Collection, as soon as I received my email. The MAC Sales Associate told me last week that this was limited production collection which basically means, it will sell out super fast. Siss, A Muted golden beige (satin) lipstick (not pictured), has already SOLD OUT online in a matter hours! If your a MAC lover, you know never to wait until the last minute on these limited edition collections! And, I am so glad I snatched these up! Their has been countless times I've debated on something and ended up missing out on it, because I waited to long. And, I forbid to pay those outrageous prices on Ebay.
One thing I'm really excited to see is the eye shadow palettes (even though most are standard MAC colors), and the Siss lipstick that sold out in a matter of hours online. "Blue and nudes are definitely the "IT' color for Spring/Summer 2008.
Check out my review and photo swatches for MAC A Mei Collection.

Hi, and thank you for this review! I know you wrote this awhile ago, but I was doing a google search about MAC in Taiwan. I've been looking for pricing of MAC. Do you happen to have the amounts for some of the items in NT dollars?
I'm wondering about the cost of:
lipsticks
shadesticks
pigment pots
Is MAC generally more expensive in Taiwan than the U.S? If so I'll be sure to stock up before I go back to the island.
