Tomorrow I head off to the PRO store with fellow beauty blogger, Karen, to make a huge birthday haul! Okay, maybe not huge, but we'll see, right? We always hope that we'll be dissuaded from what we want, but somehow manage to come home with not just our list, but several off-list items as well.
I'd love...
Overall, Mattene is impressive in its range of hues and shades (dirty corals to vibrant reds to deep berries) coupled with a deliciously smooth texture. One of my reasons for not owning many matte shades is due to the fact that they tend to be incredibly dry and without some sort of gloss, look...
Overall, I found that Matte2 (pronounced Matte Squared, for those who were unsure!) was a collection of some new colors, some duplicates, but I also realize that these are all using a new matte formula, and as a result, have replaced (and probably will end up replacing more in the future) existing...
SMOKE SIGNALS Overall, I really enjoyed the cool smoky eye quad compared to the warmer one, and I definitely see Burnin' being a fall favorite. Vampy, dramatic lips are in, and Burnin' leaves nothing to be desired. Raven is going to make an excellent colored liner to make my eyes pop. I also love...
BLUE STORM Overall, one of my favorites was Blue Storm eyeshadow, because it worked so well in the smoky eye I did last night. I also really like the way Atmospheric lipglass looks, and part of that is probably because it isn't a shade we see often in the MAC line. The kohl powers are so soft and...
IN 3D Overall, I really enjoyed that MAC came out with two new formulations/products, because I like seeing innovation in the company's repetoire. In terms of whether or not they're products I can't wait to have? I can wait a bit longer. The 3D Glass comes in numerous gorgeous colors, and they...
PAINTERLY Overall, I really love the texture and consistency of the paint pots, because they are very creamy and easy to apply. They blend seamlessly over the skin and just absorb into it and dry quickly. They have great, long lasting power, which means they're perfect to use as bases. I like the...
NOVEL TWIST The launch had a good mixture of products that would appeal to both new and old collectors, because of how many products were included in this collection. Personally I was not that enthused and found little that I really, really just had to have to add to my stash, but I still found...
FLASHTRONIC Flashtronic is one of those collections that seems like it looks a whole lot prettier than it actually is once you take it home and start using it. Each mineralize shadow sure looks divine in the pot, with all those swirls and veins of glitter, but the color you get? Kind of drab,...
Flashtronic, Rushmetal, & Novel Twist Pictures, Photos, and Swatches
So here are a bunch of product photos and swatches of all the collections that launched today and the Nordstrom exclusive collection that will launch tomorrow as part of their anniversary sale.
I will post my review up after I'm...
