MAC Simpsons Fall 2014 Collection: Epic Fail or Mastermind Genius

Hello Gorgeous!

Well, the first official MAC product shots for their Simpsons Fall 2014 line have finally come out & it is safe to say that I think they're going to have all the Simpsons fandom in an uproar if this is the finalized collection. 

One palette with 4 colors that only have ONE even remotely "Marge" color (her blue hair), what looks like one blush (a peach-pink from what this picture looks like... When does Marge where blush?? & when is it pink?!), a pair of eyelashes that actually look like her lashes (ok, pretty cool but I won't be picking them up in any case), & what appears to be a buttercup yellow lipglass. That's right folks.. They took away our lipsticks & gave us ONE lipglass... & ITS PALE YELLOW! I probably would never have bought or worn it but I know a lot of people were itching for a Marge hair blue lipglass - yah know, since lipsticks this collection were out of the question. 

I'm hoping & praying this is just a teaser shot because I am honestly disappointed. If anything I'll end up grabbing 2 blushes (I lalalaLOVE blushes & hoard them. #NoShame) & MAYBE the palette pending on swatches. It's honestly just the packaging & imprinting on the powder that gets me. It's cheeky & crude like the Simpsons. I just wish MAC had thought this through. They could've done so much more with this. 

So... Now that the first official product shot has been released, what is everyone thinking? Is everyone still hyped up? Spill it. 

Look it's an energy bar; it's a protein bar; no! It's a CLIF BAR

I know the title maybe a tad bit confusing but this delicious contraption is confusing me. Hahah. My dear friend, Trisha, pointed out these bars on my last trip to the commissary & I was a bit hesitant to snatch one up so I passed. Man am I kicking myself in the butt for waiting so long! 

I ended up at Target yesterday with my good friend Kristyn (side note: check out her blog: http://scatteredus.wordpress.com) - surprise surprise I ended up at target. But hey! I was a good girl... I only spent $19 ... But I digress ^.^;; - & I grabbed a box of the white chocolate macadamia nut CLIF bars. They were on sale (?? I think ??) for $5 for a box of 6. That breaks down to roughly 83cents a bar... Not too shabby. 

The texture, to me, is like a mix of those Special K cereal bars & a nutrigrain bar; not to hard & not too chewy. I brought the whole box with me on our errands today & on my trip out the door, I see my darling husband chowing down on one... Without me! & even before I got a chance to have one! RUDE! Haha. Anyway, before I even opened my bar I broke one in half for J & H.

I did ask my darling husband what he thought & his (exact) words were "F***ing amazing!" - he's a sailor... Please excuse the mouth. My kiddos (H being 4 & J being 3) are both OBSESSED with 'em & think they're candy bars. Oh my children, I'm glad you think something good for you is candy. ^.^

My thoughts? They're amazing!! Not too chewy, not too hard, & really not that sweet. I still can't figure out if it's an energy bar, a protein bar, or a meal replacement bar. The nutritional facts aren't that bad either. 

The only thing I didn't like about these bars was that they left a a weird gritty, starchy feeling on the roof of my mouth. Nothing too big to worry about. Have you tried these CLIF bars or any other flavors? If so, which should I try next?

& before I go, here is a photo of all of us eating a delicious CLIF.
