MAC September Collections

 Tuesday, September 8, 2009

These are the following MAC September Collections: Temptalia.com & Spektra.net have some great information and pictures of these collections. Just click on the links below to see each of the collections. I discuss each of the collections below individually and offer my potential wishlist for each. Hope you find this helpful :)

-MAC in High Def -9/10

MAC in High Def Collection
Okay, so based on looking at this collection it doesn't really seem like MAC is bringing anything really new to the table. The MSF natural, brushes & foundations are all part of the permanent line. The only thing that is limited edition here are the lipsticks and they don't really seem all that unique.

My wishlist: The only thing I am thinking I could get are close to real &/or high-def lipstick. But it all depends upon what they look like in person. I might end up not getting anything at all.


-Fall Trend Collection-9/17

This trend seems to be a collection that is attempting to highlight all the major fall beauty trends that are going on. You will see multiple products in different shades of grey, while featuring mostly dark lipsticks.

My wishlist:
Lipstick: Our Pick
Lipglass: Runway fave

I also might pick up the eyeshadow quad, but it really depends on what the colors look like in person.

-MAC Style Black Collection-9/24

The name of this collection basically describes it all. Black! Lots and lots of black, including black lipstick, black eyeshadows, a black creme colour bases, etc. There is a two part collection that will be released at the same time. The first is style black-colour, which includes the lipstick, eyeshadows, mattenes, glimmerglasses (similar to a dazzleglass), etc.
The second is the Style Black- Face which includes the Volcanic Ash Exfoliator and the Volcanic Thermal Mask as well as two cream colour bases.

My wishlist:
I'm not exactly sure, it really depends on how most of the products look once I see them in person.

Mineralize Eye Shadows- all of these look really cool. But it totally depends on what they are like in person. I especially like the looks of cinderfella, young punk, & blue flame.

Grease Paint stick- I might get this in intense black. I believe it is probably similar to shark skin shadestick.

Cream Colour Base- in Bat Black. This is a burgundy black with pink pearl and it part of the permanent pro line.

I've heard great things about the Volcanic ash exfoliator, but I probably will not get it. My skin is so sensitive as it is.

-Zoom Fast Black Lash-9/24

Basically, this mascara is said to make the lashes look intensely black, while at the same time adding dramatic volume and length. It comes in the shade deepest black.
I think that this mascara sounds really great and I'm excited about it. I think it might become part of their permanent line, so I can't say for sure if I will buy it when it comes out. I might wait a while before purchasing it. We'll see...


MAC Dazzleglass Cremes Collection - 9/24

I'm actually really excited to see what these are like. I like the dazzleglasses a lot, but just not the price. These will be the same price ($18 each). These look so pretty, but I will definitely want to see them in person.
From the pictures, the ones I think I will like best are:
My Favourite Pink
Totally Fab
Amourous


So that is all of the September MAC Collections. Definitely check these out and feel free to comment below on some of the things that you might be interested in trying out.

Purus Cosmetics shaliner swatches

 Monday, August 31, 2009

Here are some swatches of the Purus Cosmetics shaliners. Sorry guys, I was hoping that these pics would show up better, but they aren't that great...my camera has kind of been freaking out on me. So they don't really do justice to these colors. For more information on the shaliners check out my previous blog post as well as my youtube video- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wr_FaEJLvQ











From left to right: (untouched snow, pale mint, night sea, & midnight forest)















From left to right: (sun kissed, cinnamon tea, coral jewel, & sheer bronze)









From left to right: (crushed amethyst, blackened rose, electrified plum, & party pink)

Purus Cosmetics Shaliners
















So far, I have been very pleased these shaliners from Purus cosmetics. They come in a variety of different colors and are highly pigmented, as well as versatile. I find that they go on quite nicely and are easy to blend and work with. Several of these shadows pair perfectly and they can be combined together for several different types of looks. Although I have only used them as eyeshadows, according to the website they can also be used as liner and cheek color. At $5 each, I feel that these are a great deal and worth trying out. If you are unsure as to what colors you may like, you can always order samples for only 1 cent. My only slight draw back to these (which I forgot to mention in my video) is that I've noticed that with some of them, it can be a little difficult to get the shadow into the top of the container. It seems as though some of the shadows are thicker than the holes that they have provided. But that can be fixed easily enough. Anyhow, if you'd like to check these out go to http://www.puruscosmetics.com/
