MAC always comes out with the most fun collections. I always love the themes they go with for their products, and this one is certainly no exception to that love. The MAC Flamingo Park Collection for spring 2016 is full of bright pinks and I can’t get enough of it! I have been stuck in dreary winter mode for a while now, so this definitely feels like a bit of a light at the end of the tunnel.
There are seven different blushes in this collection (with one of those, Oh, My!, being an online exclusive) and there isn’t one I don’t like. The two I have are What I Fancy (a soft but bright apricot with a satin finish) and Let’s Be Friends (a blue hot-pink with a satin finish). They both have gorgeous pigmentation and are actually my first ever MAC blushes. Let me tell you, my collection is about to start growing if they are all as stunning as these two! These blushes retail for $22USD/$26CAD.
I’ve already mentioned several times on this blog that I am not a big fan of lipgloss, but the MAC Cremesheen Glasses MAY have changed my mind. There are five shades in the Flamingo Park Collection and the two I have are Sweet Tooth (a warm mid-tone pink) and Petite Indulgence (a bright blue-pink). I have quite pink lips to begin with, so these both show up fairly similar on me, with the main difference being that one is more warm looking and the other is cooler looking. These are SO comfortable to wear and not sticky at all. They retail for $20USD/$24CAD.
Last, and definitely most colorful and fun of all, is the Flamingo Park Eyeshadow Palette. It has nine shades that could easily create quite a variety of different looks and I’m definitely excited to play around with some colors that are outside of my usual “neutrals only” territory. This eyeshadow palette retails for $40USD/$48CAD.
Also in this collection are three pigments, two nail lacquers, nine lipsticks (of which a few I NEED, like Flocking Fabulous and The Fashion Flock. Seriously gorgeous colors in this collection!), three lip pencils, a powder/blush brush, two shades of Technakohl liner, a mascara and two beauty powders. The MAC Flamingo Park Collection will be available online on January 28th and in-stores on February 4th and something tells me it will sell quick, being that it’s all so pretty and I know I’m not the only one dying for a taste of spring!
Are you hoping to get anything from the MAC Flamingo Park Collection?

Thanks Tahana! xo

Such a great collection and Flocking Fabulous is definitely on my wishlist too! That palette looks gorgeous, I especially love the silvery one in the bottom left. I’ll keep an eye on instagram cause I’m super curious if you’ll do a makeup look with it, it’s such a unique mix of shades!
PS your matching phone case is PERFECT!
Chelsea says
I’ll do a makeup look just for you ;) I am obsessed with this collection. All the pretty! And yaaas to the phone case- I was like, what do I have that’s flamingo-y?! Hahaha.
Zoe says
haha yay! I’m very curious, it’s just such an unusual mix of colours. The pigmentation is gorgeous and this collection is STUNNING!
You’re making me happy I don’t use props…I can’t think of anything I own that’s flamingo-y!
Chelsea says
Pressure is on, because I have no idea what I’m going to do with this palette yet… but I’ll come up with something and I promise it won’t be just using the couple neutral shades, hahah.
Stacie says
I love those lipgloss colors. They give just a hint of color which is nice at times. I hadn’t even heard of this collection yet. Too many for me to keep up with!
Chelsea says
Yes, they’re the perfect hint of pink! And agreed, haha. It seems like MAC constantly has something new!
Kelly says
Those blushes are such a pretty shade!

Such fun spring-y shades! The blushes are gorgeous and the palette is so cute. Come on warm weather
Chelsea says
Yessss, bring on spring!!
Bella B (xoxoBella) says
Those are such pretty colours!! LOVE!
Chelsea says
Totally agree :)
Chelsea says
This collection brings a smile to my face with all the spring-like colors!
Chelsea says
Mine too, I seriously can’t wait for spring at this point!
Aida@TheCraftingFoodie says
What a gorgeous pallet of colors – especially in the dreary winter months. I love that the creamsheen gloss isn’t sticky because most of MAC’s lipglasses are gorgeous, but way too sticky. I have to try the creamsheen out!
Chelsea says
That is exactly what I had thought, so I was skeptical upon trying these that I would like them at all. I haven’t tried MAC lipglass in years, so I don’t know if the formula has changed since then or if the Cremesheens specifically aren’t sticky, but I’m loving them!
Hilary says
This collection looks seriously amazing. I really like the look of the What I Fancy blush – it’s right up my alley. I think a sneaky online MAC purchase is in order! Thanks for your amazing review.
Chelsea says
I’m all for sneaky online MAC purchases! I know I’ll be making one when this collection is released :) xo
Renu says
That palette is a beauty! Perfect for Spring and Summer looks.
Chelsea says
Agreed! I did a pink Valentine’s Day look with it for my post today and love how it turned out. I’m excited to play with the green and blue in it as well!
KatyRose says
What a fun and vibrant collection, perfectly timed for the upcoming Spring! I’m especially loving the bold eyeshadow shades. – Katy
Chelsea says
It is the epitome of spring, I love it all!
Chelle says
This collection really took me by surprise – I’m so in love with all of the coral-red-pinks that made up this collection!
Chelsea says
Me too! I don’t think there’s ever been a MAC collection (that I’ve seen, anyways, haha) that I love more. The colors are soooo me.
Emelia says
I loooove the name, I love flamingos! That sweet tooth gloss looks like the perfect transitional season pink. I love the swatches of the shadows too- so beautiful!
Chelsea says
Sweet Tooth is my fave! Such a pretty shade. This whole collection is just gorgeous!
Mistle says
I am loving that palette!!! It’s not colors I would typically wear but they are so pretty! I’m a huge fan of MAC. It’s the only line of products I used to wear. I’ve ventured out since then but their products are amazing.
Chelsea says
Definitely not colors I’d normally wear either, but I’m having fun playing around with them! It’s about time I start using colors outside of neutrals anyways.. ;)
Ana says
Oh my! This collection is seriously dreamy! This is the first time I see the products and my favorites where the blushes! I can’t want to get my hands on them! they are just the shade I’ve been looking for! Amazing blog darling! xx

Chelsea says
It sure is dreamy! The blushes are GORGEOUS, you will love them! xoxo
Becky @ Project Domestication says
I’d love to get that lipgloss in sweet tooth! :)
Chelsea says
It’s SO pretty!
Zully Hernandez says
My favorite thing about swatches is it doesn’t matter how many I’ve seen, the colors don’t ever look the same because each person’s skin is different. I LOVE LOVE the sweet tooth lip color on you – and this collection is gorg!
Chelsea says
So true! Before buying new makeup, I ALLLLWAYS try to hunt down swatches on the closest skintone possible to mine so I know what I’m getting into, haha. I can’t count the times I’ve seen something amazing on someone with more tanned skin than mine, or a lighter lip color than mine, and it looked terrible on me!
