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?).

Mac Trend F/W 09 Collection Review and Swatches 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 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! Make-Up Art Cosmetics Swatches WOOOO! Crappy swatch time! Forgot my cam, so I had to get these home to photograph. Ech. Sorry, dudes. Also, if my internet doesn't stop crapping out, I'm going to go a little insane. More Swatches Because I'm Just That LameHands down out of these, the Electric quad is my favourite. Also, I may be the only one to feel this way, but I think vertigo is mildly hilarious.  Some of the shades from the Tokidoki collab quads (Modella and Celebrita) need to be used with a stiff brush - a soft one like, say, a MAC 239 won't get you far ("WHERE IS THE PAYOFF!?"). As you can see, though, when applied with something firmer, they show up fine. The pale yellow in the Modella quad almost has this fun green iridescence to it. The whitish shade from Celebrita has a gentle pink iridescence to it. Basically, fun stuff, dudes. My apologies that the FOTDs I had planned for this week and other stuff have simply not come to fruition. I feel frigging lame. |
