During summer, makeup brands release beautiful collections such as the MAC Wash and Dry Collection.
It’s officially summer for those of us located above, or even for those below but still near, the equator. This is the time when we want to wear bright and cheery colors not just on our body, but on our face as well.
The colors in this collection remind me of the Dior Tie Dye (Summer 2015) Collection, which is another great collection released for this season.

I really like a lot of items in this collection, especially the lipsticks and lipglosses. I think I’m going to buy all the available shades, lol!
The highlighter which, at least for me, is the star of this collection is already sold out at MAC Cosmetics, Macys and Nordstrom. I guess it’s that awesome!
Which items are calling out to you? How great do you think the MAC Wash and Dry collection is?
