Liberty of London Collection

Here is the Liberty of London Collection released by MAC on March 11, 2010...Like always, I don't buy every single item in the collection because it's not very practical for me. Actually it should be more practical to not buy anything, but what can I say? I'm addicted!

Let's start off with the lip stuffies that I picked up!

Peachstock, Frankly Fresh, English Accents

Peachstock, Frankly Fresh, English accents

These colors were actually very pigmented. I expected Peachstock to be pigmented because it is a Pro color (If you want this color I suggest you get this one because of the cute packaging!), but I did not expected the Lipglosses to be pigmented. Surprisingly, I would actually suggest that you can wear these on their own. Normally I am totally against just wearing lipgloss because sometimes the color comes out too uneven on the lips. However, these are pigmented enough were you can get a good even coverage. I am so in love with these new colors!


Next, I picked up two of the eyeshadows

Give Me Liberty of London, Dame's Desire

This is what the packaging looks like

Give Me Liberty of London, Dame's Desire

I couldn't get a good color swatch on my arm for Give Me Liberty of London, so I had to use my fingertips. Dame's Desire is very pigmented and Give Me Liberty of London is subtle enough to make a good highlight color. It looks darker on my finger because I really, really had to rub my finger in the pot to get a good color payoff.

Lastly, I picked up a blush and a beauty powder (I love beauty powders!!)

A picture of the packaging! There's a mirror inside the beauty powder!

Summer Rose, Prim & Proper

Summer Rose, Prim & Proper

From what I read, Summer Rose came out last year (I think it was the Rose Romance collection?), so I would skip it if you already have it. I really love this color, it's pink like the Viva Gaga lipstick, but very sheer. You can only see the color in the picture because I layered it a lot. The initial first swatch really didn't show up enough to catch in the photo. Prim & Proper is a beautiful blush color, a little bit more on the peachy-brown side. I had to layer this one too for it to photograph well. I always prefer cheek products that are buildable because then you don't have to worry about making a mistake with the first application.

I hope you liked these pictures! Should I do a collection blog later on? Maybe a few months from now?

MAC Riveting Collection

Hi All!

Here are some pics and swatches of MAC's new Riveting Collection. I didn't pick up the whole collection because I'm on a budget and it's kinda wasteful to buy stuff that I won't use personally. Although I did buy two blushes that are totally not my color, but the MA told me that you could use it as eyeshadow..... yep, those are the "magic" words for me....

Anyway, here's some photos (^_^)/

These are the two blushes in the collection...

Full Fuchsia, Dirty Plum

These are the two lipsticks that I got....

Bubbles, Riveting

Bubbles, Riveting

I also picked up one nailpolish, which I really like!

Wham, Bam, Glam (Matte)

Now, I really love all the colors. The swatches from the blushes were actually one swipe, so they are pretty pigmented. Even though Riveting is too dark for me, it's pretty sheer, so I like to use it with Bubbles on top. The nail polish is very matte, but on the plus side it dries incredibly fast! I put a top coat on top to give it a nice shine because I don't like matte nailpolishes. The top coat actually made the color come out darker. So, it turned out more like a chocolate brown.
