We have yet to see this in person, so we’ll let you know our thought soon.

MAC Electroflash is available beginning July 10th at MAC counters nationwide and online at maccosmetics.com.

We first saw the Josie Maran Cosmetics collection at Barney’s in New York last year. We fell in love with a couple of the eye shadow shades (Pewter and Smoke ) and were beyond impressed with the quality of this eco-friendly line.

This summer she has a new collection out called Natural Glow . While you’re checking out her line of beauty products free of parabens and petrochemicals, be sure to get your hands on the Organic Argan Oil—her bestselling moisturizer for face, hair and body. Just a few drop of this miracle oil will transform your skin.

This summer, as usual, MAC is pounding out a ton of new collections including Cool Heat , a selection of five Slimshine lipsticks, seven eye shadows and two fragrances.

Warming Trend , a frosty light taupe Eye Shadow and Tropic Glow , a blue pink with silver pearl Slimshine are our favorite items from the collection. Slimshine remains one of our favorite lipsticks of all time, with its super moisturizing formula and sleek packaging.

Here’s the full collection:

Of all the hot collections hitting MAC counters this summer, we’re most excited about Tendertones .

We fell in love with this lip balm posing as lip gloss in May 2007 when it first launched. With four popular shades brought back (Deep Sigh, Hush Hush, Take a Hint and Pucker ) and six brand new ones, how is a girl to choose? We want them all.

Tendertones are super moisturizing with a delicate strawberry-kiwi flavor. Keep one on your desk and see how fast it disappears (you’ll be applying and re-applying ALL. DAY. LONG.).

• E-Z Baby Sheer milky pink
• Honey Bare Rosy blue pink with white and gold pearl
• Hot n’ Saucy Soft cherry red
