12 Best Lip Kits of 2018: Kylie Cosmetics, MAC, and More


There’s no arguing Kylie Jenner broke the category of lip kits wide open—since their launch in 2015, plenty of major brands have followed suit with their own versions. Given that they make putting on lipstick fast and easy, it’s not hard to see why. Instead of stalking the aisles of Sephora for an exact liner color match or swatching gloss after gloss in search of the perfect finish, just grab a lip kit (often conveniently packaged in a cute, travel-friendly tin or pouch) like the dozen Glamour editor-tested ones below. These 12 kits run the full gamut from primer, liner, gloss duos, and trios to sets of cult favorite colors that blend into custom signature shades. Meet your match, ahead.

The MAC x Jeremy Scott Palettes Look Like Your High School Mix Tapes


If you were a kid of the nineties/early aughts, you most certainly remember the thrill of firing up Napster. Waiting 10 minutes for each song to download was absolutely worth the indelible feeling of coming up with a great name to Sharpie on a warm, freshly burned CD. In terms of nostalgia, it’s high up there with Steve Madden’s stretchy sandals and anything Britney. Which bring us to this: MAC and designer Jeremy Scott are teaming up on collection of palettes that look exactly like mixed tapes—down to the scrawled-on handwriting that only came with meticulous practice.

Given pop culture’s current obsession with all things from the era and the fact that Scott is the one behind the recent Ugg resurgence, the line isn’t all that surprising. Nonetheless, the packaging is so cute it’s pretty hard not to love. Starting with the Acoustica Cheek palette ($35), every detail is spot on: It’s got everything from the delightfully punny name (“Cheeky Mixtape Vol. 1”) to the bubble-dot “I”.

For the full experience, the exterior packaging is also a relic with realistic CD sleeves. The cheek colors inside are just as good, a peachy pink blush, warm bronzer, and shimmery champagne highlighter.

That attention to detail keeps up through the Future Emotion lip palette ($35), a set of nine lip colors packaged in a cassette case. Sharpie alias: Bumpin Jamz with a squiggly underline, in true nineties style. Like the cheek colors, the colors inside are likewise timeless. They run from crimson, to fuchsia, to wine, and hit a vibrant purple along the way.

And here’s where things go seriously AV club (or Say Anything). The collection’s last piece is the boombox-packaged Lo-Fi eyeshadow palette ($75), with 29 shadows inside. Picture club neons in shades of gold, pink, blue, green, purple, and orange, plus a center set of work-appropriate cool neutrals. The front is again beyond accurate, from the mixboard where you could pump up the bass to the cassette slot with a mini, faux version of the lip palette.

The line starts rolling out to select MAC stores on February 8, which gives you just enough time to painstakingly put together the perfect getting-ready playlist—and not a minute sooner. What Spotify?

Ariana Grande and Mac Miller Are Vacationing in a $10,500-A-Night Colorado Airbnb


At the end of a long year, Ariana Grande and her boyfriend Mac Miller took some much-needed time away from work at a mansion in Mountain Village, Colorado. The Pulitzer Mansion, given to Ariana courtesy of Airbnb, is the stuff of dreams, with six bedrooms and another in a guest house, jetted tubs in the bathrooms, and indoor pool, a bowling alley, a sauna, and even a private chef. Suffice it to say, there’s room enough for two.

In case that weren’t enough to keep them entertained, it comes with ski passes and a driver, so visitors can enjoy their vacation at nearby ski slopes. It’s also just an hour from the hot springs and 10 minutes from town. It looks like Ariana spent plenty of time relaxing on the mansion grounds, though: an Instagram photo shows her posing on the deck in a fuzzy yellow jacket, checkered pants, black boots, and ski goggles. She called it “the best trip ever,” and based on the mansion’s description, we can see why.

You can book the vacation home through Airbnb — theoretically. But be warned, it costs $10,500 per night. Nobody said it was cheap to vacation like a pop star.

$10 MAC Lipstick Minis Now Exist in Your Favorite Shades


PHOTO: Instagram / @maccosmetics

There are countless tubes of lipstick in this world. There are 363 listed on ulta.com, 309 on sephora.com, and—we’d venture—at least five in any given woman’s bag. Another guess we’d put out there: more often than not, one of those lipsticks that gets plucked for action is a MAC shade. And not just any of the brand’s colors, but usually, one of its cult classics—the hues that you don’t even have to think about, you know they’ll just work. Maybe you’re a Ruby Woo person (who isn’t a Ruby Woo person?), or maybe you go for the brownish-pink Whirl. Whichever’s your go-to, it’s probably the kind of color you can lend to all your friends, because it’s just that good.

The only downside? The universal appeal has meant that up until this point, we’ve had to switch our lipstick from tote bag, to glove compartment, to going-out bag too many times per day. The upside is MAC just came out with a solution: dubbed the Little MAC collection, tiny, incredibly cute, $10 MAC lipstick minis now exist.

They’re not available in every single color MAC offers, but the brand went with its ten cult-classic bestsellers. There’s the aforementioned Ruby Woo and Whirl, along with peachy nude Velvet Teddy, mauve Mehr, red-orange Chili, wine Sin, burgundy Diva, blue-red Russian Red, muted pink Twig, and brick red D for Danger. Dare we say, this might be the start of finishing a lipstick—days rarely before known. They’re joined by eight mini Lip Glass lip glosses, likewise $10 each, in the shades Oh Baby, C-Thru, Love Child, Prrr, Spite, Nymphette, Oyster Girl, and Candy Box.

The collection also branches into eyes, with mini, $10 vials of MAC’s multipurpose pigments in six shades: Vanilla, Melon, Naked, Rose, Blue Brown, and Kitschmas. And if you’ve been eyeing the brand’s False Lashes Extreme mascara, Prep + Prime Fix+ spray, Strobe Cream or makeup wipes, now’s the time to grab them, because small sizes of the lot are $12 each. (That number ring a bell? It’s the same price of full-sized Kat Von D Studded Kiss lipsticks right now—when it rains affordable, quality beauty products, it pours.)

The Little MAC collection is permanent, though, which is the cherry on top. Or is it that MAC’s upcoming Snow Ball holiday collection rounds up trios of the minis for $29.50 each? It’s hard to say. But with those options dropping October 19, it might be worth the wait. If you have the willpower not to buy a Ruby Woo for every bag, that is.

An Aaliyah MAC Collection Is Happening By Popular Demand


MAC fans probably remember where they were last September when the news broke that, thanks to a change.org petition, the brand would be releasing a collection around music icon Selena Quintanilla. Not to throw around the phrase “broke the Internet,” but it legit broke the Internet—the combination of MAC lovers and Selena fans was no joke, and the collection sold out literally in minutes. Basking in the success of the brand responding to what people want, fans then asked for the next dream collab: an Aaliyah x MAC collection in honor of the legendary late singer. Flash forward one year later, and the Internet’s power for turning fantasy into reality knows no bounds: that Aaliyah collection is actually happening.

Announced today, MAC told fans to stay tuned in 2018 for #AaliyahforMAC, which launches next summer. Those are literally the only details available, other than the tagline that, “Aaliyah is truly one in a million — an unstoppable icon whose groundbreaking work in R&B music and film inspires us all. Today we join her countless fans in celebrating her with the announcement of the M·A·C Aaliyah collection. You made it happen!” There’s no putting a number on the amount of people who have been influenced by her music, but heading over to change.org gives a little clarity: 26,187 supporters (and counting) have signed the petition.

According to the petition creator—one Jennifer Risinger, hero—both Missy Elliott and Rashad Haughton, Aaliyah’s brother, have condoned the ask. Haughton says Aaliyah was a big fan of MAC, and her go-to products were Cherish lipstick, Chestnut lipliner, and Espresso eyeshadow, alongside the since-discontinued Chelsea lipstick and Biscuit eyeshadow (side note, props that Haughton held on to that knowledge).

Speaking to what fans want to see, Risinger writes that they’re hoping for eyeshadows, lipsticks, lip liners, lip glosses, contour and highlight powder, face powder, false lashes, and eyebrow pencils that represent and are inspired by Aaliyah. In the petition, she wrote: “Aaliyah stands for MAC’s mission of ‘All ages, All races, All sexes.’ She was a risk taker, innovator, edgy, street but sweet, and R & B’s princess. She continues to influence today’s mainstream artists and people around the world still love and celebrate her life and music every year.”

Fans went full picture on what their fantasy Aaliyah collection would look like, asking for the packaging to draw on the iconic blue-toned print on the cover of her album “One in a Million.” The album’s 20th anniversary is this year, and given the rabid turnout MAC’s Selena collection received, it’s a safe bet to guess that the reception is going to be insane. So long as there’s a shade called “Rock the Boat.” We demand it.
