WHEN WILL IT END? (Purple Swatches Cont'd)

03/11/09, Permalink 05:20:47 pm, by Sanayhs, Categories: Swatches

This post is mostly not pressed shadows. You'll see!


Purple halves of MES Earthly Riches, Mi'Lady and Hot Contrast (THE MELANGE TURNS PURPLE)
I love Earthly Riches so hard. I don't have a lot of MES, by the way. These three? About half my collection of the formula. I generally believe that MES=mess.

P-p-p-purple!

The swatching of my purple pressed MAC shadows continues. Yes, this is an illness.


Roustabout (Amazon Eyes quad), Demi-sweet (Sweetie Cakes quad), Leap (from Corps de Couleur quad)

Um, wow. Way to be nearly identical, Roustabout and Demi-Sweet. I actually really love Leap, though. I think the Corps de Couleur quad in general is ridiculously pretty, in a soft, ethereal sort of way (but wasn't that the general vibe of Danse anyway?).

Living in a Haze of Purple...

28/10/09, Permalink 09:26:11 pm, by Sanayhs, Categories: Swatches

Time for more swatches! Let's go over the other palette I showed you, shall we?

Lavender Sky, Plum, Violet, Dear
Lavender Sky, being a veluxe pearl, is incredibly easy to work with. Great medium, very warm purple. Plum, I've heard a lot of people complain about? I have no issues, and quite like it! Violet, Dear is pretty, but I hope you have patience, because it's one of those velvets that requires piling on to get any colour. Great over something like Mauvism paint!

Welcome! Maroon is the reddish one in the back/on the right (depends on pic). Coco Beach is the golden brown. Swatched both dry and wet (dry on the right above). Coco Beach shimmers like MAD. Pure sex used wet. Maroon is meh. Maroon shows its colour best in the bright flashy pic.

Mac Dazzleglass Creme Collection

dazzle

This collection didn't get to much hype as its release was the same day as Style Black. So Style Black took over everyones dream and left Dazzleglass Cremes alone in the dark. But these guys should brighten up your day being the total opposite of Style Black with tons of color. There are 9 limited edition colors in this collection and a lot of them different tones of pink. First off we have the beautiful Amourous which I couldn't wait to own it's dark red brown red with pearl, Creme Allure is a purple pink, Do it up is bright blue pink, Luscious Spark is orange coral with pearl (probably buy this one if I get another one) My Favorite Pink is light blue pink with pearl, Perfectly Unordinary is bright yellow pink with gold pearl, Soft Dazzle is pink peach with gold pearl, Sublime Shine is light coral brown with gold pearl and Totally Fab is yellow red with pearl.

I found these to be a little bit grittier from the old dazzleglasses. They come with a brush applicator that you need to break in when I started to use it the brush is super stiff. I wish they didn't do so many pinks in this collection but maybe will see different colors if they release these again.

Mac Trend F/W 09 Collection Review and Swatches

tonegrey

Boom!! Another quad graces our presence. With Makeup Art and Cosmetics 3 quads making a little happy threesome this dark and delicious wonder scares them all away. If you want to achieve the dark blue/grey smokey eye for fall this is a given. It houses A Warmer White which Mac calls a pale green grey...I don't see any green, Tone:Grey which is a nice mid-tone grey, Waft a nice dark blue grey and The Right Smoke which is almost Deep Truth but has white pearl. I didn't pick this guy up as I have tons of blues and greys but it's a nice starter quad that has everything you need for a smokey eye.

Mac Polish in Cool Reserve

cool reserve

Here is Cool Reserve, one of the six new polishes Mac is offering in there new collection with Jin Soon Choi. At first I didn't want to buy this one thinking it looked a lot like Love and Friendship but it's so different. I'm happy my MA convinced me I needed this one. I love grey nails and this one is perfect for fall with just a hint of lavender. All the new polishes are a cream formula and it goes on really well. This was 3 coats but with my new love Seche Vite it took nearly half the time to do my nails. I have no clue what half the ingredients are in Seche Vite but as long as I don't inhale it or drink it I should be fine.
