MAC X Aaliyah Haughton Age Ain't Nothing Palette

Today I have a review of the new MAC x Aaliyah Haughton Age Ain't Nothing Palette. For those of you who do not know, Aaliyah Haughton was an American singer, actress and model that tragically died in 2001 at age 22. She was a really successful and famous R&B singer at the time of her death. I remember hearing of her name, but I don’t think I had ever heard her music.
