Beauty News // MAC x Dita Von Teese Collaboration

Say "red lipstick" and you have my attention. Say "matte red lipstick" and you have my heart. MAC has announced another collaboration and this time, it's with none other than my longtime woman crush Dita Von Teese. I've loved Dita for her raven black hair, pale skin, red lips, perfect eyeliner and pin up lifestyle for as long as I can remember and loved her even more when she married (and sadly, later divorced) my teenage idol Marilyn Manson. 

After being the MAC Viva Glam spokesperson in 2006 and 2007, MAC and Dita are collaborating once again and this time, they're launching her signature red lipstick. Can you hear the angels sing? I sure can! Both parties have already released their statements about the collab:

"I've always loved MAC and we've remained close after working together almost 10 years ago for the MAC Viva Glam campaign. MAC Cosmetics celebrates individuality and supports people who dare to be different. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to create my signature red lipstick. My MAC Von Teese shade evokes glamour and confidence."

- Dita Von Teese

"Dita epitomizes femininity, beauty and sexuality. She has been a friend of our brand for many years, being one of the faces of our Viva Glam VI campaign. She is the perfect combination of glamour and femme fatale. Her lipstick in Von Teese is the perfect shade of red for your more seductive side."

- James Gager (MAC Senior Vice President / Group Creative Director)

MAC's Von Teese lipstick is said to be a blue-based shade of red with a matte finish, which is basically everything I look for in a lipstick. It comes in a black and red packaging, with her name engraved on the bullet and her campaign picture on the outside box. This beauty is going straight onto my Christmas wish list, together with Dita's book called Your Beauty Mark: The Ultimate Guide To Eccentric Glamour. In her book, she spills all her beauty secrets and tips and I just know it's going to be good. 

The MAC x Dita Von Teese lipstick will be available online from 9 December 2015 for $ 18 / € 21.
