The Best & Worst of the MAC x PatrickStarrr Slay Ride Collection

MAC x PatrickStarrr Slay Ride Collection includes an assortment of products for eyes, cheeks, and lips, but what’s worth your time? It’s no surprise that MAC created a stunning blue-based red with Slay Ride, but they’ve often released this type of shade throughout the years (and have some stunning similar shades in the permanent range). I thought Omigaud It’s Gold and PatrickStarrr Pigments were gorgeous, but if you’re not into loose eyeshadows, they’re not so special that they’ll change your mind.

Did anything catch your eye in this collection?

Pretty Punk

MAC Pretty Punk MAC Girls Personality Palette ($41.00 for 0.28 oz.) contains pops of color, like blue and green, paired with glittery silver and taupe. Whatever formula MAC is using in the shimmers goes too far in the cream department that they’ve become more solidified and difficult to work with–I had really had to jab at a few of the shimmery eyeshadows with my brush to get the product to dislodge, while using fingertips did better as they softened the pan of product and made it easier for product to transfer from fingertip to lid.

Spank Me Santa

MAC Spank Me Santa Lipstick ($18.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a medium, rosy plum with warmer undertones and a satin finish. It had rich color coverage in a single layer, which applied evenly and didn’t tug or drag on my lips during application. The texture was lightweight, firmer in the tube but had enough creaminess to be comfortable to apply. The color stayed on well for five hours and was neither drying nor hydrating on me.

MAC Lipstick comes in a variety of finishes, and the pigmentation and wear tend to be dependent on the finish. The sheer finishes, like Lustres, tend to wear for only a couple of hours and have sheer coverage (as designed) and are non-drying. Some of the original Matte shades have a stiffer, drier formula, while newer ones have a more velvety, silicone-feel to them, and the latter are creamier, more comfortable to wear, and easier to apply, but most Matte shades are quite pigmented and long-wearing, though some are drying. The Amplified and Satin finishes tend to have good pigmentation, lightly creamy to moderately creamy consistencies with a bit of shine, and moderate to long wear with deeper, richer shades wearing longer. The Frost and Metallic finishes have the most variance between shades with coverage ranging from semi-sheer to opaque with average wear and non-drying to slightly drying formulas. All MAC lipsticks are vanilla-scented but have no discernible taste.

Omigaud It's Gold

MAC Omigaud It’s Gold Pigment ($21.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a dirty, deep gold with warm, brownish undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It had medium, buildable coverage when used dry, and if opacity was wanted, I’d recommend using it with a dampened brush. The consistency was loose, finely-milled, and fairly easy to work with as the powder pressed onto bare skin well with just a touch of fallout. I was able to build and blend out the loose product on my lid without a fuss. It lasted well for eight hours regardless of whether I applied it dry or wet.

Hot Coco Bish

MAC Hot Coco Bish Dazzleglass ($20.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a light-medium, golden brown with warm undertones and flecks of gold sparkle. It had more of a smattering of sparkle than what I’d expect for the Dazzleglass formula, which is, as the name might suggest, supposed to be rather dazzling. The consistency was light-medium in thickness with moderate tackiness, though it was spreadable and hydrating while worn. It had semi-sheer coverage, which is fairly in line with how it’s marketed. The gloss lasted for four hours on me.

Formula Overview

$20.00/0.06 oz. - $333.33 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "medium coverage" with a "non-sticky, lightweight and moisturizing" texture that can be worn "alone" or over another lip color. They are vanilla-scented like most of the brand's lip products. The coverage can vary from shade to shade but most Dazzleglasses are semi-sheer to medium in coverage with light to moderate amounts of larger sparkles. They usually have a mix of finer pearl and larger sparkle/micro-glitter in them, though the consistency is thicker and helps prevent the feeling of glitter on the lips. The one thing I find to be untrue about their claims is with respect to tackiness--Dazzleglasses are absolutely tacky and moderately at that. Most shades last between four and six hours and are lightly hydrating.

Smoky Sleigh

MAC Smoky Sleigh Eyeshadow Palette x 6 ($33.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a new, limited edition eyeshadow palette that contains four mattes (beige, mauve, cool brown, black) and two shimmers (pale silver, muted teal) housed in a slim, shimmery red compact. The colors coordinated better than I anticipated once I started to work with the eyeshadows on my eye, though the quality could have been better with most of the shades. Go figure that the matte black was the best shade in the entire palette! Worth noting, while the compact might seem like a good size, it’s actually much less product than typical MAC Eyeshadow Quads (which are 0.19 oz. and this is 0.10 oz.).
