WHEN WILL IT END? (Purple Swatches Cont'd)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...Time for more swatches! Let's go over the other palette I showed you, shall we?  Lavender Sky, Plum, Violet, Dear Coco Beach and Maroon Pigment Swatches 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 Style Black Collection I've been hyped up and ready to haul big time for collection since I first heard about it awhile ago. And finally Sept 24th has come and I got my goodies. This is my biggest Mac haul up to date and i'm on a makeup high. Tags: black, ccbs, creme colour bases, le, limited edition, lipgloss, lipstick, mac, mattenes, mes, swatches, urban decay
Mac Dazzleglass Creme Collection 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 Polish in 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. MAC Quad Swatches (of 17 Quads Past) You know, I'm feeling swatchy today. How about swatches of my MAC quad collection? Yes, that will do. I have 17 of 57 existing premade quads (not counting the yet unreleased Tone: Grey quad). Have a peek, yo! Smashbox Doubletake Lip Color in Currant So, I finally got to check out the new Reign collection that Smashbox is offering this fall. Some very nice things in this collection. I found many dupable items because I have some makeup already, but their eyeshadows were soft and pigmented and the jet set liners were creamy and in very neutral colours. The blush didn't seem that unique to me, and the other lip pencil in Amaretto seemed like a colour I already owned. But the packaging is to die for! If you're a package whore, then stay away or you will be tempted to buy. The only thing I came home with was the Doubletake Lip Color in Currant. It's such a rich shade of red berry, I had to have it. |
