MAC Launches a Limited-Edition 'Punk Couture' Collection

Just when we thought we could safely retire our safety pins and studded dog collars, MAC Cosmetics went all rebel on everyone and launched a limited-edition "Punk Couture" collection, further continuning the movement's current en vogue status.

With only six pieces, the online-exclusive collection is tiny compared to MAC's usual new-launch lineup, but it covers all the bases—vampy lips, heavy eyeliner, and a rich berry nail lacquer called "Dark Angel." Check out all the pieces from the range, below!

MAC Lipstick in "Cyber," an intense blackish-purple lipstick; and "Dark Side," a deep burgundy lipstick ($15 each):

Pro Longwear Lipglass in "Dark as Night" ($20), a deep dirty purple with a slight pearl and Liquid Eye Liner in "Boot Black" ($19.50), an intense black:

Fluidline in "Blacktrack" ($16), an ultra-smooth gel eye liner with a silky finish:

Nail Lacquer in "Dark Angel" ($16), a goth romantic dark lilac:

The entire collection is available for a limited time, online only, at MACCosmetics.com.

Rihanna in $3000 Tom Ford Thigh-High Sandals + New Lipstick Sells Out!

Rih-Rih stepped out in New York on Tuesday rocking a pair of Tom Ford beige-leather knee-high kicks that cost a whopping $3,690! They're a little too bandage chic for me, but she rocks them well. Perhaps another color would satisfy the optics!

With her eccentric heels, she sported a Mary Katrantzou print top over cut-off shorts, carried a Givenchy clutch, and layered on chunky jewelry.

Meanwhile...

Rih's new lipstick for MAC has sold out just three hours after going on sale for the first time. The singer, 25, told her Twitter followers that the deep red hue was finally available to buy yesterday afternoon - but just a short while later she posted an update letting fans know that there were no more left.

 '#SOLDOUT!!!!!!!!!! First shipment sell awf!!! Next shipment isn't til June!!! Mac girls gone wild!!!…' she wrote.

What's That? Gray Make-Up?

Remember that scene in Pleasantville, where Tobey Maguire helps Joan Allen try to blend back in with her grayscale surroundings by applying gray-and-black makeup to her skin and face? If you always thought that was one of the coolest scenes in that movie (we definitely did), then you'll want to get in on MAC Cosmetics' newest offering, "Grey Friday," which will launch on Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving) at Macy's MAC counters from midnight to 4 a.m.

The color-coordinated lipstick and nail polish duo come in a perfect slate shade of dark gray—the lipstick is a black-gray flecked with silver shimmer,and the nail polish is a stunning gray with a silvery suede pearl finish.

Don't worry if you prefer to sleep in on Black Friday, though—the colors will be avaialble online for US customers beginning December 6th and in stores for a limited time December 13th through January 17th.

And in case you've never seen Pleasantville, here's what I'm talking about:
