Last summer, M.A.C. Cosmetics revealed that they’d be releasing a collection honoring the late Selena, set to arrive this year. Today, we finally have a preview of what to expect, as well as its release date – October! “I wanted the colors to be about her personally, what she wore on and offstage,” Selena’s sister, Suzette Quintanilla, says. “She has been gone for 21 years already, and for this collaboration to happen, it’s pretty much incredible. It just shows the love her fan base has even though she’s gone; that her music still lives on and her legacy has grown tremendously since she’s passed. It’s a great honor to have M·A·C collaborate with Selena’s name and her fans — FOR her fans.” I’m SO excited about this line! Check out a preview of the Como La Flor Lipstick below!

(Video) Jennifer Lopez Performs A Heart-Felt Tribute To Selena At Billboard Latin Music Awards
Ever since she starred in the Selena Quintanilla biopic back in the day, J.Lo has alwyays resembled a spitting image of the late Mexican performer, Selena. At the 2015 Latin Billboard Music Awards, Jennifer Lopez hit the stage in an extravagant dress to honor the legendary singer’s life with an extremely touching and heart-felt tribute. She joined Los Dinos on stage, Selena’s old bandmates (and siblings,) Suzette and A.B. and her widow Chris Perez. J.Lo opened the tribute by performing “Como La Flor” (without a dry eye watching) and then transitioned to “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” and later went on to perform some of her classic hits such as “Amor Prohibido,” “I Could Fall In Love” and “No Me Queda Mas.” The whole performance was extremely emotional, but beautifully constructed and thought-out. Take a look at J. Lo’s Selena tribute below. Make sure to grab a box of tissues before hand, though. Sheesh. RIP SELENA!
