55 Beauty Bag: MAC Wonder Woman!

I should explain just how much I loved Wonder Woman as a child.  Seven-year-old Nichelle could not wait to whip off her little glasses, spin around and "turn into" Wonder Woman every week right along with Lynda Carter.  I had the Halloween costume and yes, my jump rope served as the "lasso of truth" (I probably just used it on my sister though!)  My Wonder Woman thing is one of my happiest and - funniest - childhood memories and I was only too happy to relay this information to Lynda Carter herself when I ran into her one day at Frederic Fekkai's old salon at Bergdorf Goodman.  She was very gracious and very amused even though I am sure she had heard dozens of similar stories.

   

MAC collections arrive fast and furious and, while they are always fabulous, I rarely squeal out loud when I open the press packages from them... but I did this time!  Oh, the fun you're going to have when you open the (Jumbo!) lip glasses and blushes, the super-sized Mineralize Skinfinish (Golden Lariat!) and the Bulletproof Blue makeup bag! The gold Utility Belt Face and Eye Brush Sets are a lot of fun too.

I have to say, I was a little worried that there wouldn't be enough colors in the collection that would work on my skin.  Thankfully, there are quite a few: especially the lip glass (above) in Wonder Woman (bright red) and Secret Identity (mid-tone copper - brown pencil works well with it).  The eye shadow quads in Defiance (above - burgundy/violet/pink), Lady Justice (blue) and Valiant (green) are also (chocolate) brown girl friendly. There is plenty to choose from for the adventurous woman in every complexion and that's the way it should be. 

Now, about that Wonder Woman movie...

OMG I am in love and I am not even that big on makeup, but I would so love to whip out a rich red lipstick with wonder woman emblazoned on it.

Ok, the countdown is ON! I can't wait to see this collection in person. And like you, I used to looooooove Wonder Woman when I was younger. LOL.

Memories, oh my goodness, your post is taking me down memory lane, I was and still am a Wonder Woman fanatic! I even had the under-roos, my own golden lasso, you couldn't tell me nothing, purchase a vintage Wonder Woman lunch pale and have yet to use it but any way I can't wait to try out this new collection, kudos to MAC cosmetics indeed!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one DYING over MAC's Wonder Woman collection! I swear I went on a 24-hour YouTube jag watching Wonder Woman videos for this post LOL!

Like you, as a child, I couldn't wait for Wonder Woman to come on; Tuesday nights to be exact,the year-1976!! :-) I even purchased all 3 seasons from Target a few years back.

I'm very excited to see this MAC/WONDER WOMAN collabo take place
