Here you go – your first look at MAC’s collaboration with the Simpsons! The collection will hit the web on August 28, stores September 4, and today you’re getting your first look!

The wait is over for some at the end of the month, with a one-day sale and sneak peek of the Marge Simpson-inspired collection taking place on Saturday, July 26, at the MAC Cosmetics store in the Gaslamp District (234 Fifth Avenue, San Diego) during Comic-Con.

Of her favorite pieces in the collection, Marge “says” in a release, “They’re all so great, but I must say that Lisa’s Spikes really works well with my skin tone and of course, Beehive Blue complements my hair perfectly.” Fans will be able to purchase the collection, but will also be entitled to a Marge Simpson-style makeover from the ten pieces, which includes nail stickers ($16.50), eye shadows ($44), lipglasses ($16.50), and lashes ($18.50).

What fun colors! Are you interested in picking up the collection?

Trends come and go but healthy skin is always in! AVEENO® offers a wide range of sun care products with superior broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection and exclusive ACTIVE NATURALS® ingredients for healthy, beautiful skin.

What I appreciate about Aveeno – is that I don’t have to worry at all about not being protected. Their sunscreen is by far the ONLY sunscreen I use daily, and keep in my purse!

The sun is finally here in Oregon – and it is HOT! We were in the sun this holiday weekend from Thursday all the way through Sunday, without much of a break. To keep myself and the kids protected during our 90 degree days, I kept us lathered up in Aveeno’s sunblock. I love their face sunblocks because I don’t have to worry about it clogging my pores.

Saturday afternoon I took my boys to a local pool, where I sat on the side, reading a book. I recently downloaded “A House in the Sky” on my Kindle, and I am tearing through it! The kids swam, and I sat in the sun, reading a book. It was heaven, not gonna lie.

#Aveeno sent along a goodie bag full of summer must-haves! I got a pair of Wildfox Sunglasses, Aveeno Sun Block, and a beautiful gold Make a Wish bracelet! What’s in your summer must-have bag?

Dermatologist Dr. Jeanine Downie has included these Sun Tips to remember when outdoors:

Choose a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.

Sunscreen protects against harmful UVA/UVB rays. It prevents and slows down the aging process.

Make sure to use 1 oz. of sunscreen on all exposed skin. Pay careful attention to face, neck, ears, back of neck & hands.

Spread the word and encourage others to protect their skin too.
