MAC Pret-a-Papier Collection: Overall Review & Round-up

OVERALL, Pret-a-Papier is a softer, more muted collection for those looking for a more natural look--from eyes to lips to cheeks. I still get a very autumnal feel with this collection, and I think that's why it has me off-kilter. I'm just...

MAC Pret-a-Papier Collection: Lipsticks Review, Photos, Swatches

None of the lipsticks blew me away -- they don't quite seem to make it there. Taken as a whole, they're almost too similar to each other. I think looking at the...

MAC Pret-a-Papier Collection: Eyeshadows Review, Photos, Swatches

It's funny, despite five eyeshadows being launched in this collection, none of them really spoke to me. I also got more of a fall collection vibe off of them, even though we're heading right into summer. To be honest, I don't think...
