I picked up Lorac Mini Pro in Mystic Oak. She’s tiny but it’s a perfect day to night palette for me
Last collection that truly intrigued me was the MAC Tempting Fate. Curated, gorgeous packaging , perfect Fall tones, very inspired
Same! I bought the big palette and used it today actually! I love it. I love the new Lorac.
This recent past has definitely had a few great ones! MAC Holiday ’21 has been my favorite of the bunch. It just has so many interesting, beautiful pieces in it.
I would totally agree with you there Christine – the Lorac holiday collection was the best one I have seen for a very long time and the brand’s take on neutrals really interested me, to the point where I ordered the major palette – Fairytale Forest.
The shades look muddy to me, but I suspect they’ll look fantastic on my lids. I don’t own any Lorac, but I keep hearing that the brand is so good that I may get one of the palettes anyway!
Actually it was yours. Nothing has really tempted me. The melt collection looked cool but nothing I’d personally want.
Oden’s Eye Lengendary Diversa. I got all the palettes. Stunning.
It’s been a couple pf months since a release really tempted me, I bought a lot from the MAC Tempting Fate collection, I really do like the items I bought. Other than that it was the gorgeous three Temptalia palettes that had me really excited and my, do they deliver! I love all three and the single and find it a treat to use, but only when I have time over, as there are so many options it takes time to decide what to do.
I think the Lorac collection would have tempted me more had it been easier to get. Why brands don’t just ship internationally these days is such a mystery to me.
It’s not part of an entire collection but the new Paris Etoile palette that Viseart just released caught my attention immediately and it’s even more beautiful in person than online. I only wear cool tones and it’s still rare to see true cool toned palettes, even more so one with a unique color story that isn’t just browns and grays or all blue or green. Viseart makes some of my favorite eyeshadow formulas, mattes especially, so when a palette of theirs interests me, I just order; no need to wait for swatches or reviews because their quality is consistently high.
I’m not really the kind of person who buys or even gets excited over whole collections, but the PMG Celestial Odyssey and NARS Climax palettes excited me as soon as I saw them!
I often love the Dior collections because they are so well held together. The colour stories don’t always suit my cool complexion and even when they do I don’t always buy from them, but they are what brings me back to the time when I had little makeup and wanted to build up a long-lasting “wardrobe” of colours and textures.
Yours 😉
