MAC Spring 2013 Collection: Year of the Snake

Chinese New Year is a few days away, and MAC decided to pay tribute to the holiday this year with their Year of the Snake collection. I am half Chinese and celebrate the New Year, so hearing about this collection was really exciting!

This is currently available in all U.S. stores!
