Addiction Spring 2010 - Pastel Rainbow

The Addiction Spring collection looks very interesting; I like the bold colour of the eyeshadows, and although the colours are bright, I think they do look very spring appropriate. The colour combinations remind me a bit of those in the MAC Madame B collection from 2005.

I hope that Mihoko gets this collection in; I love the look of the blush and the lipstick, which, as it is the sheer formulation, should be very wearable. I am also tempted by Eggplant and Limoncello eyeshadows.

What do you think? Too bright, or a nice change of pace from all the Spring soft pastels?

  3. So lovely. The colors look gorgeous. I hate that I can't get this brand directly though. Thanks so much for posting other articles about this line. I'm hoping it will eventually expand to the UK/US.

  4. Hi Get Lippie - it's not really very pastel, is it? I can't do very pastel pastels, I look rancid in them with my colouring.

    Hey Lillian - I really love your profile picture, you have fabulous hair (I'm assuming that is a picture of you!) I've ordered Addiction from www.mihokoshop.com and was happy with the service, but they don't have this collection up yet. www.ichibankao.com also stocks the line and ships internationally, but also don't have it up yet.

  5. I love this! Grace, I remember missing out on Madame B., now this will more than make up for it (or "makeup" for it, whatever the case!).

  6. Hi Sabrina - I hope so too, it would be nice to be able to browse a counter in person.

    Hi Amy - Madame B was one of the great collections from MAC. This will make up for missing it, indeed ;)
