The Scoop
So a little while back some of you might remember
I shared the news about one of M.A.C.’s upcoming new collections which was the Simpsons
collection or what I like to call, “Marge 4 M.A.C.”. Back then when I was
writing the post two months seemed so far away before I would be able to get my
hands on the collection but here we are – I made it to the September 4th
launch in one piece (lol). So, it just so happened that the launch was
scheduled on my son’s third birthday so while we were out at the mall doing
some school shopping I took a slight detour the M.A.C. store here in the
Christiana Mall.
I was surprised that when I went I wasn’t
immediately bombarded with Simpsons marketing propaganda. Instead, the
collection was set off to the side on one little display. For all of the buzz
that surrounded this collection I was just expecting more of a fuss around the
in-store launches; but I digress. The display housed four lip glosses, two eye shadow
palettes, one blush, and one nail sticker set.
Because of my weekly #ManiMondays I of course
wanted to grab the nail stickers. I debated a little while between the purple
shaded lip gloss called, “Itchy & Scratchy & Sexy” and the blush in ‘Pink
Sprinkles’ but finally decided to go with the blush.
About The Simpsons Nail Stickers
As
soon as I took the stickers out of the package I was immediately reminded of
the Sally Hansen Salon Effects stickers – they must be made by the same
manufacturer. One important note here about these stickers is that they are nail polish strips and not vinyl nail
stickers. After going back and forth between the polish strips and the vinyl
stickers I would definitely have to pick the polish strips every time.
These
stickers applied easily and the sizes were perfect for my large nail beds. Some
things I think could have been changed or added to these nail stickers include:
1.
Feature some strips with Marge’s hair in blue instead of the entire nail strip
being yellow
2.
Featured different color sticker sets – possibly in the colors of the lip
glosses
Overall,
I definitely am a fan of these nail stickers. I think the shade of yellow is
one that will be flattering on all skin tones and the size of the stickers is a
plus in my book. I hope M.A.C. decides to launch a line of nail stickers
outside of just a collaboration collection. The stickers retail for $16.50 and
are available online
and in stores.
