Heatherette Makes MAC Blush

Leave it to Richie Rich and Traver Rains, the glam duo behind the kitsch-cool Heatherette label, to convince one of the world's biggest cosmetic companies to change their iconic black packaging to near-neon pink for a limited-edition collaboration.

That's right, Heatherette made MAC Cosmetics blush.

And I couldn't be more excited.

I was so inspired, I even staged my own product shots (above and below).

Richie gave me the scoop on the collaboration at a dinner party about a week before the debut (check out his self portrait taken avec Style Spy's camera)...

He was rocking killer Chanel boots and glittery eyeliner; he wore a Judith Leiber rhinestone-encrusted owl minaudiere around his neck like a pendant...

and proved his prowess for lipstick with his spectacular ability to pout for pictures (Mr. Husband and I tried to keep up).

I was obsessed with the make-up line, sight unseen...with the lipstick especially, because the only shades I've been wanting to wear for this spring and  summer are intensely-pigmented pinks.  Electric, hot, shocking, neon, peony, fuschia...every last one of them.  Thanks to the Heatherette boys, the perfect stash exists with names like Hollywood Nights, Melrose Mood and Lollipop Loving.

And they look even better once applied -- creamy but bold, light but not sheer.  Perfection.

Don't even get me started on the lipgloss (Bonus Beat is the perfect nude hue), the eyeshadow palettes and the double-sided eyeliner pencils...

This line gets Style Spy's ultimate endorsement: Run don't walk (especially because it's selling out fast!)
