MAC Maleficent collection

Hello sweet ladies. I am a huge fan of Disney way before being a fan of makeup, so when both meets, it's like heaven to me ;). 

I remember when MAC released the Venomous Villains collection for fall 2010, I was like crazy, and spent sleepless nights next to my laptop waiting for it to be launched on the internet, as I couldn't go to a MAC store to get all the items I wanted.
Anyway, once more, MAC chose to make a collection with a Disney character, and not any character: Maleficent, by far one of my favorite villains. She is so gorgeous and classy, while frightening at the same time. It is scheduled for May in the US, and for June in Europe.

It's not a huge collection, but I want all the lips items, they look awesome!!!! Plus the eyeliner, the eyeshadows and  maybe the sculpting powder. Unfortunately, the beauty powder is too pale for my dark skin, and MAC polishes have a very poor quality. 

LIPSTICK 

BEAUTY POWDER

SCULPTING POWDER 

POLISHES, Flaming rose, Nocturnelle, Uninvited

FALSE LASHES 

EYESHADOW QUAD. Ground Brown, Concrete, Carbon, Goldmine. 

Pro Longwear Lipglass, Pro Longwear Lip Pencil, Prep + Prime Highlighter, Penultimate Eyeliner. 

 




It's a shame they didn't create a purple and a green eyeshadow though. I know they already made these shades for the VV collection since I have them, but making brand new shades would have been great!
What do you think girls? Do you like this collection? Are you going to break your wallet?

Dare to wear... Red eyeshadow!

Hello sweet ladies, I hope your weekend is going on pretty good.

Today I want to share with you some swatches of my favorite red eyeshadows.
I love wearing red/rust eyeshadows, I think they are gorgeous and a bit unconventional...

I like using my MAC Fix + to foil loose eyeshadows, I just wet my flat stiff brush with it and it makes the colors pop like crazy...
To enhance my pressed red eyeshadows, I like using NYX jumbo eye pencil in milk or in rust, plus I never forget to use my primer potion as a base.

 From left to right: without base, with NYX jumbo eye pencil in milk underneath, with NYW jumbo eye pencil in rust as a base.

What about you girls, do you wear red eyeshadows? What are your favorite shades? Do you have any tips to make them pop even more?

MAC Marilyn Monroe - Fall 2012

Products pictures

Hello sweet ladies! I'm very excited about the subject of this post because I really like this glamorous, feminine icon, Marilyn Monroe. The last collection from MAC that I was so enthusiatic about was Disney's Venomous Villains in 2010...

I was definitely impatient to see the packaging for this collection, guessing they would make something special for it. I must say I like it but a I'm a bit disappointed though... I actually expected a more glamorous/joyful portrait of Marilyn on the products.
I'm planning on picking a lipstick or two, one eyeshadow and maybe a blush... 

Here are the pics for this collection.
