MAC will also launch the limited edition Posh Paradise. "Succumb to temptation in a Paradise that invites taboo encounters. Rare and exotic, these delights are divine; fig leaves meet fashion beneath a jungle canopy where Seeds of Desire sprout. Discover Unknown Pleasures with lavishly lush Nail Lacquers and Mattene Lipsticks. Semi-matte lips get ultra-pure colour in a slinky, slither-smooth formula that feels as light on the lips as lust. Trespass tantalizingly with pearlized Paint Pots in shades that create seamless coverage while blending smoothly over the lids. Indulge yourself with a plush, posh and provocative collection of hypnotic hues." In stores mid-September.

A Street Art Eye Shadow lets you personalize the eye with a madcap act of pure graffiti - and for those who love random acts of light and shade, an In The Abstract Highlighter."
