HUG YOUR LIPS. If you are familiar with M.A.C’s Huggable Lips collection, you should be aware that it was launched a while back, with the entire collection selling out in two days.

M.A.C’s Huggable Lips collection will be previewed at M.A.C stores in Sephora ION Orchard today (6.30pm to 8pm) and tomorrow in Ngee Ann City (1.30pm to 3pm) and Bugis (5pm to 6.30pm). It will be launched islandwide at M.A.C stores and counters next Friday.
