One Sweet (Launch) Day

Is it just a sweet, sweet fantasy? Do makeup and a diva belong together because Mariah Carey is working on setting up her own makeup company! The music diva revealed that she’s starting a cosmetics line with best friend and manager Stella Bulochnikov. Despite her uber successful collaborations with MAC Cosmetics and Elizabeth Arden, the songstress still feels that it isn’t enough - she needs her own products and store!

Set to launch around Christmas time, this might just be the sparkly present you’ll find under your tree. We’ll be sure to let you girls know more information once other details have been released!
