May 02, 2014

It’s hard to think that anything could get more romantically gothic than Lorde’s deep purple lip, but then again, we never considered black magic would actually come into play. Now, we’re totally spellbound by MAC’s Maleficent makeup line inspired by Angelina Jolie’s iconic villain in the upcoming Disney film. That’s especially if it can help us achieve anything close to Jolie’s razor sharp cheekbones from the dark fantasy flick (contour, contour, contour ladies!).

In the covetable collection, available online starting May 8 and in stores May 15, you’ll find everything from blood red lip shades and black-as-night liner, to sultry gold + brown eyeshadows and nude nail lacquers. Those exceptionally wearable hues (no witchy greens in sight!) make us totally want to get down with our bad selves. Has what you’ve seen put a spell on you, too? Check out each piece from the line below, beauties.

Mac x Maleficent Nail Laquer in Flaming Rose, Nocturnelle + Uninvited ($17.50/ea): Get your devious digits ready!

Mac x Maleficent Faux Lashes in #30 and #36 ($17.50/ea): We’re not quite ready to go all in with the glowing green contacts, but these falsies will definitely help to enhance that gripping stare. Oooh we just got major chills thinking about it!

Mac x Maleficent Penultimate Eye Liner in Rapid Black ($21.50), Prep + Prime Highlighter in Bright Forecast ($25) + Eye Brow Pencil in Fling ($17.50): Slick lids, bombshell brows and a gorgeous glow: that’s an “all eyes on me” combo for sure.

Mac x Maleficent Sculpting Powder in Sculpt ($23) + Beauty Powder in Natural ($30): You can bet we’ll try to recreate those striking cheekbones with these sculpting powders, but in a way that’s appropriate for the real world vs. the netherworld.

Mac x Maleficent Eyeshadow Palette ($44): This rich palette just might be what it takes to totally convert us to the brown smokey eye.

Mac x Maleficient Pro Longwear Lip Glass in Anthurium ($17.50), Pro Longwear Lip Pencil in Kiss Me Quick ($21.50) + Lipstick in True Love’s Kiss ($17.50): Bow down to the new must-have lip!

Padma Lakshmi Is Teaming Up With MAC for a Hot New Capsule Collection

Padma Lakshmi is here to spice up your look! The TV host is “cooking up” a brand new, 20-piece capsule collection with MAC, chock full of lipsticks, eyeliners, blushes, brushes, and four-piece eye palettes ($18 to $33), and from the looks of things, it’s a definite winner.

While it’s embellished gold packaging alone is enough to have our eyes popping, it’s the collections long-lasting formulas, which include a smorgasbord of super-flattering neutrals (plus a totally wearable periwinkle blue!) that really seal the deal.

As the brand explained in a press release, “Her eyeshadow palettes and individual colors are designed to take you from day to deep night — and last through all the culinary adventures in between.”

We’re already obsessing over the shimmery shell peach shade for spring from the Desert Dusk palette ($33) above, and we anticipate the pictured blue-based, Blue Blood red lipstick ($18) will become an instant classic.

The 47-year-old also stars in the collection’s campaign, which shows the Top Chef host looking positively radiant thanks to her glowing skin, uber-long hair, and flawless complexion. Naturally, she looks radiant in her new line, which will launch just in time for warmer weather — you can snag it in select MAC stores and online starting March 15th through April.

Hey, if it makes us look even an iota as gorgeous as Lakshmi looks, we’re sold!

Sorry 'Landman' Fans, [SPOILER] Didn't Make It Out Of The Finale Alive

Landman fans, how we feeling? The first season of Taylor Sheridan's new drama came to a close on January 12 with the season finale, "The Crumbs of Hope," and it provided viewers with plenty of to think about as tensions between the cartel and M-Tex Oil came to a head — and one character suffered a potentially-fatal medical emergency.

Here's everything you need to know about the Landman season finale, including THAT (potential) character death.

What happens in the last episode of Landman?

Emerson Miller/Paramount+

The last episode of Landman opens after Monty's (Jon Hamm) ruptured aortic aneurysm in episode 9 lands him in the hospital for a heart transplant...if they can find a new heart in time. (I'm getting flashbacks to Dan's heart transplant catastrophe in One Tree Hill). But based on the fact Monty flatlines and Cami (Demi Moore) and their daughters cry over his bed, things aren't looking hopeful.

Meanwhile, Tommy (Billy Bob Thornton) takes over as M-Tex Oil president, and as he works on smoothing things over between the cartel and the oil company, he gets kidnapped by the cartel, who also blow up an oil tank and drive a nail into Tommy's leg for good measure. But just when it looks like Tommy might meet his end, cartel leader Galino (Andy Garcia) wipes out the other members and helps him escape.

Billy Bob and Andy have actually been friends for awhile, but this is the first time they've acted onscreen together! "Andy is such a great guy and great actor, and when we did those scenes at the end of the last episode, it felt so good, because we kind of had us two old veterans going head to head,” Billy Bob Thornton told Variety. “It was quite an experience, and I have to say every moment of it felt real. Tommy’s dealing with someone now who is really smart. The other guys were hired to work for him, but now Tommy’s talking to the man himself. There are advantages and disadvantages to that. Since he is so smart, who knows what Tommy is going to get tricked into?”

How did Landman end last night?

Landman season 1 ends with Tommy returning home with a proposition (er, more like a friendly demand) from Galino that the oil business and the cartel become allies. After all, the cartel's interested in taking part in the industry — and seeing what it has to offer.

“The cartel and the oil industry are kind of these odd neighbors living side by side in West Texas,” co-creator Christian Wallace tells Variety. “Now Andy’s character is thinking he is going to make a change and utilize that proximity in a way that could benefit him.”

Hopefully Paramount+ greenlights Landman season 2 so we can see just what happens between Galino and Tommy in the future...and if Monty makes it out of the hospital alive.

'A Simple Favor 2' Director Has The Best Response To Rumors Blake Lively Delayed The Film

It Ends With Us has quickly become the most memorable movie of Blake Lively's career after rumors of drama between her and costar & director Justin Baldonimorphed into a full-on legal battle. And after the feud was uncovered, the internet has spiraled over what Blake Lively's relationships with her other costars are like — and whether what's happening behind the scenes of her movies are going to delay them. Well, A Simple Favor 2 director Paul Feig had the perfect response to rumors that another feud between Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick caused Amazon to shelve the movie.

Here's exactly what A Simple Favor 2 director Paul Feig had to say about Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively's relationship.

Paul Feig offers a very promising update on 'A Simple Favor 2'

When a viral tweet claimed that Amazon had indefinitely delayed A Simple Favor 2 because of a feud between Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, director Paul Feig stepped in to clear up the rumors.

"Despite glowing test screenings, Blake Lively’s refusal to promote—amid her messy legal battle with Justin Baldoni—and growing tensions with Anna Kendrick have derailed the sequel," X user Eric B tweeted on January 10. "Anna is furious. Paul Feig is disappointed. Hollywood is in shock. This isn’t just a movie—it’s an implosion."

"This is total BS. Sorry," Feig said in his retweet that same day. "The movie is finished and coming out soon. Don’t believe anything you read on social media these days."

And Anna Kendrick says reuniting with Blake Lively was "lovely."

Anna Kendrick also spilled on reuniting with Blake Lively, claiming that working together felt "a little bit like riding a bike."

"She lives on the East Coast, I live on the West Coast, so we don't get to see each other often," she told PEOPLE. "But it was lovely, and I think that those characters have such weird chemistry that it's so fun to just get the gang back together."

We don't know many details about the plot just yet but we do know it involves a destination wedding — and Blake Lively's Emily in a very fancy wedding dress. Stephanie and Emily "head to the beautiful island of Capri, Italy, for Emily’s extravagant wedding to a rich Italian businessman," according to the movie's synopsis (via People). "Along with the glamorous guests, expect murder and betrayal to RSVP for a wedding with more twists and turns than the road from the Marina Grande to the Capri town square."
