Some Shopping

I checked out the new MAC collections today as I mentioned in the earlier post. My first impression of the collections was very good. I liked them a lot and there was a lot to choose from.

I skipped the lipsticks from DSquared2, the Nude Rose looked a little bit boring to me. I liked the other one, Blood Red but I couldn't see myself wearing it. Even though it was a sheer color it was still too dark for me. The only thing that I picked up from that collection was the Feline Kohl Power Eye Pencil. This was a must have for me.

From top to bottom: Mineralize Eye Shadow in Young Punk, Feline Kohl Power Eye Pencil and Greasepaint Stick in Black.

I also looked at the Mineralized eye shadows and they were absolutely beautiful. I picked up the purple one, Young Punk. Used dry the pigmentation is really poor but I tried it on the Greasepaint and liked how it looked. I tried to swatch it for you but it was very hard to capture the eyeshadow and the sparkling glitter. Well to be honest the swatches are horrible, not really my forte.

From left to right: Young Punk (Dry), Greasepaint in Black, Young Punk over Greasepaint and on the far left Feline Kohl Power Pencil.

I also bought the Greasepaint in Black. I was surprised to see purple glitter in it. I thought it was a solid black. I think it will work as a good base for eye shadows. Definitely as a base for the mineralize ones. But I think my main use for this will be as a eye liner with Young Punk over it.
