Oh that packaging is cute!! I wonder what the products look like.

[pinksugar]

haha, how funny. I don't think she's the type of makeup look I'd be aiming for to be honest though...

[Retro-Violet]

that packaging is awsome!

[La_Mari]

Packaging is way cute, but who is she? And she looks like a dude w/ that makeup.

Dame Edna Everage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dame Edna Everage is a character played by Australian comedian Barry Humphries. As Dame Edna, Humphries has written several books and hosted various television shows (on which Humphries has also appeared as himself). In 1979, Dame Edna was the subject of a BBC Arena mockumentary: La Dame aux Gladiolas.

Whew... good.

[speedy]

They have to be joking, there's no way Dame Edna is a beauty icon!

Boring. Glad to skip over it. Thanks for posting!

I think that's awesome, lol! I imagine the collection would be full of bright and bold colors. The packaging is super cute, too.

[Eryn_Nicole]

i agree, the packaging is cute!! but i don't know who this is... lol

[magneticheart]

When I saw the thread I was thinking "It can't be THAT Dame Edna!" lol
Packaging is cute but like Rosie said I'm not in a rush to immitate her look

[Karren]

I sure don't want to look like her!! Him!! Lol. That's a strange marketing ploy for sure.. The only ones it would appeal to are British Transvestites or those that love Monty Python type humor.. Wonder when John Cleese is going to get his own line of makeup?

[Adrienne]

Whoa! Cute packaging, not so cute ad lol.

[Ashley]

lol Adrienne..the first pic is not the ad for MAC. Just a random pic of her I found.

[magosienne]

lol.. i really love the packaging, cute !

[Sirvinya]

Hahah, to be honest I can't wait to see what's in the collection!

[Kathy]

Uh...is this for real? I really don't get how they think Dame Edna with the over the top mu will draw consumers? Not really my idea of an icon. Now Dame Judi Dench wouldv'e been a better choice if they were looking for a Dame.

[Adrienne]

lol Adrienne..the first pic is not the ad for MAC. Just a random pic of her I found.

Oh i know but just imagine LOL, I'm seriously looking forward to how they're going to do this

[coke]

I think it's clever. I like it, but i dont know how other will take it. If it's full of bright colors I'll be getting every single one =]
