Nylon Magazine (July 2011) has revealed that nine LUCKY beauty bloggers were chosen to not only tour the MAC cosmetics factory, but were able to create their very own, self-customized product! This all went down in April. I was immediately jealous and happy for them all, at the same time. Like I said, nine were chosen, however, only four of the bloggers were featured in the article. Of course Afrobella‘s Patrice Yursik, and Temptalia‘s Christine Mielke were two of the nine selected. The other two featured in the article were Beauty Maverick‘s Lily Nima, and Beauty Blogging Junkie‘s Amber Katz. Each blogger had the opportunity to create either a lipglass or eyeshadow.
On behalf of Aileen, the beauty blogger from Shades of You, below are the pictures of the collection. Check her site for more information on the process, and her inspiration for selecting her shade of lipglass named Sonoran Rain.
Other bloggers who were featured are: Lianne Farbes – The Makeup Girl| Karen – Makeup & Beauty Blog | Wendy – Nitrolicious | Ellen Mirza – Lipstick Powder Paint
I think it’s great that MAC is embracing bloggers in this way. Other companies should definitely follow suit.
