I received some gift cards for my birthday since all my
friends know how much of a ‘makeup enthusiast’ I am. I knew it was time to make
a stop by MAC since I hadn’t made a proper visit in a couple months. I had so
much fun during this trip by just trying out everything on my list and
eventually picking out what I wanted. My picks are great additions to my eye
makeup collection because of their uniqueness to my pre-existing load. My lip-gloss
and eyeliner are exciting newcomers to my collection as well since I didn’t own
either of these from MAC before.
Texture eye
shadow: This is such a unique color and I would have never thought to pick it
up until I saw it on one of my favorite blogs, Lily Pebbles. It is described as
a peachy brown with some shimmer. It goes on quite warmly and looks wonderful
when blended with a chocolate shade in the outer corners of the eyes.
All That Glitters
eye shadow: I have seen countless recommendations for this shadow and the woman
at MAC said it was a best seller among customers. I have Jest, a white shimmer, and I love it for highlighting. All That Glitters is a warmer neutral
with shimmer. It looks great if you want to blend it with other colors or wear
it alone for a more neutral eye. I can definitely see myself using a lot of
this color.
Handwritten eye
shadow: This is an extremely rich chocolate brown matte color that is great for
the crease or outer corner. It adds depth with the dark brown to any eye look.
It reminds me of a Hershey bar compacted into an eye shadow.
Gilded Thrill Electric
Thrill eye shadow: From MAC’s newest collection, A Novel Romance, this
creamy textured eye shadow pot may just be my new favorite thing. Mixed between
the infamous Paint Pots and Chanel’s D’ombre eye shadows, this little shadow
pot is like gold (even the color is gold!). The product is very high in shimmer,
rich when applied on with your fingertip, or more sheer when applied with an
eye shadow brush. I did blend Gilded
Thrill over All That Glitters and
loved the outcome of the eye makeup look.
Teddy eyeliner: My
first MAC eyeliner and also my first brown eyeliner! This eyeliner is chocolate
brown with a bit of shimmer to it, but you can’t tell once it’s on your lid.
This eyeliner is very rich and blend-able if you want to build it up or smudge
it out.
Nymphette lip
glass: This was an actual birthday present from a close family friend. It is
also my first lip gloss from MAC since I rarely ever wear anything on my lips.
This color is a wonderful neutral and it seems to have a lot of different
shades of pinks and oranges in it. It’s not too sticky either; it goes on very
smooth and tastes amazing, just as all MAC lip products do.
