MAC’s Graphite pigment

MAC’s Graphite pigment

Posted on Sunday, at

This was the color that drew me to the Surf the Ocean pigment stack in the first place! The shade is gorgeous and rich, it applies well…I do wish it stayed in place a little better without primer, but with my lids I can't expect that of too much....

MAC’s Surf the Ocean Aquamarine pigment

Originally I thought this might be close to BE's High Shine Mist, but this one is a tiny bit darker. Both are pale metallic greens with decent adhesion and application, but this is more green while High Shine Mist is a bit more silvered. If this color had just a...

Aromaleigh v1’s Astronomical collection

Aromaleigh v1’s Astronomical collection

Posted on Sunday, at

This collection was released about two years ago, as Aromaleigh (v1) was closing its doors - though preview pictures were up a bit earlier. The colors are a mixture of shades and finishes, and while a few initially drew my interest, I wasn’t all that sure I wanted to...

MAC’s Titanium pigment

This shade is actually a bit patchier than Fume - so I prefer Fume, when I want a solid silver line or swath of color. When I want to add a metallic silver shimmer over the top of something dark, like a liner shade or a dark creme base, this...

MAC’s Helium pigment

MAC’s Helium pigment

Posted on Saturday, at

Oddly similar to Pink Opal, except that it doesn't appear white in the pot - and so also appears less bright when applied. Shows up as more pink, than pinked white. I got this off of someone's blog sale, and I don't know that I'd have been attracted to it...

Nice iridescent pink, but semisheer - so if you're looking for pink color payoff with this one, best layer it over an opaque medium pink shadow of your choice.

MAC’s Dazzleray pigment

MAC’s Dazzleray pigment

Posted on Saturday, at

In the pot, it looks like it will apply as a medium to medium-light brown. Applied, it loses a little bit of the color payoff and swaps it for rainbow shimmer. This color was apparently released some time ago (the 2006 She Shines collection), and I managed to get a charm...

MAC’s Avenue fluidliner

MAC’s Avenue fluidliner

Posted on Friday, at

I really like this shade, because while it's dark, it's not straight black. The gold sparkle is pretty, but unfortunately does tend to fall out a bit. This and the other fluidliners in the MAC Me Over collection sold out quickly - perhaps not as quickly as the paint pots...

BareMinerals’ Pretty Amazing Lip Collection kit

BareMinerals’ Pretty Amazing Lip Collection kit

Posted on Thursday, at

Originally this sampler was set to debut back in spring, but for some reason they held it back for six months. I already owned one of the colors (Confidence), and hadn’t tried Savvy so was interested in a mini size of that. I wasn’t too sure about the...
