Barbie Loves MAC Back With Lipstick in 2020
Posted on February 14, 2007
Mattel and Barbie collaborated for the hit Barbie Loves Mac collection in 2007. Now they have returned with a lipstick for 2020.
The lipstick was launched for Barbie's birthday. Mac says the collection "celebrates her special day with the launch of her very own power-pink M·A·C Lipstick shade." Barbie was also named a Mac maker for the lipstick.

The information below is about the Barbie Loves Mac collection.
Just in time for Valentine's Day, MAC Cosmetics has created an entire like of makeup and accessories in connection with Mattel and its iconic Barbie doll.
The collection hits makeup counters today and will go worldwide on March 1st. MAC has also created a limited edition Barbie doll, which is available only at MAC stores, t-shirts and other accessories that all bear the iconic Barbie in a ponytail silhouette.
James Gager, senior vice president and creative director, MAC, says in a statement, "MAC and Barbie have always been at the forefront of style and beauty, and by combining our creative expertise, we have created a collection that is uniquely fresh with inspired colors that are bold, modern and glamorous. Barbie Loves MAC is a beautiful - and fun - palette of makeup that works for women of all ages and all races."
The cosmetics in the Barbie Loves MAC Collection include lipstick, lipglass, eyeliner, blush, beauty powder, nail polish and brushes. They range in price from $10 to $20. A 182 brush set costs 445. There are also a few other items, including a case, t-shirts and a doll. The Mini-Barbie Loves MAC case is a black nylon/wool fabric case with pink stitching detail. It has a pink lining on the inside and a Barbie ponytail silhouette logo on the outside. The MAC Barbie doll will be sold exclusively at MAC stores and will cost $35 in the U.S.
It's a cute idea and we love the fun colors for spring. The collection is available at MacCosmetics.com. But alas! The Barbie doll, t-shirts and Mini-Barbie Loves MAC are already sold out online. Which is extremely annoying, if you ask us. They knew the demand would be high: we really hope they're not doing this just to make it seem more "exclusive." Because we hate when companies do that and you have to pay some scalper a huge price on Ebay to get the item. You could always try your local MAC store to find the doll.
Whew. We're getting quite grumpy just thinking about that -- time for some more Valentine's chocolate to soothe our frazzled nerves.
