MAC Cool Heat

What an ironic name? Well, here's the latest MAC Collection! Dang, I'm gonna be homeless before summer ends. Just kidding, I'm totally cutting back. I realized I can't be a MAC collector with the budget I'm on. So basically I'm just getting the essentials and stuff I'll use like every day.



Some looks are too hot for summer to handle but not Cool Heat. Sweltering corals, chill-out blues, complemented by Turquatic and its warm new sister shade, Turquatic Heat, create this season's coolest - and steamiest - beauty paradox.

Slimshines

I really want to try a slimshine, but I'm not really loving any of these colors. Eh...

Eye shadows

Absolutely loving Warming Trend and Blue Flame. I don't have any true blues, and this one just look gorgeous. They're also both Veluxe Pearl and I don't have any of those, so I would definitely like to try one.

Creations Hue: Turquatic

I don't really need a MAC Perfume, and this isn't limited edition, so I wouldn't rush to pick it up.

Creations Hue: Turquatic Heat

I can't really judge something I haven't smelled yet, but I already have a perfume, but those of you who are looking for a summer scent might want to check this out!

There it is. I know a lot of people are excited for this collection, and just by looking on the Internet, I'm not too disappointed. I just wish they had face products like blushes or something. I also wish they had pigments (I really want a neutral one, and the only neutral pigment from Naughty Nauticals was Lark About, and I already have Vanilla so yeah...) because I want to expand my pigment collection. So that's all for now. Schools over on Thursday, so I'll definitely be posting and hauling way more often. But this week I have to prepare for finals, so don't expect much. I'll talk to you all later!

Thanks for reading!

Naughty Nautical (LE)- Shade description: Dark royal blue (Frost)
Shirelle- Shade description: Classic she's a dame red (Cream)

This collection is extremely cute, but to be honest, there's not much that I want from it. Basically just the stuff I bolded and maybe a pigment. Sorry I haven't been posting anything good in a while, I've just been super busy. During the summer, I'll definitely get way more into this. For now, you can expect a haul (I've got to get something from Dazzleglass and Naughty Nauticals), random updates, and I still have some ideas like my favorite YouTube makeup channels, and stuff like that. Please stick around and don't desert me!

Thanks for reading! Leave comments!

MAC Dazzleglass

So, I guess it came out today online. Of course, I just got home from school, and what a surprised! It's sold out. Wow... well here's an overview of the new products.

Dazzleglass



Electro-pearl atoms blast their light as Lipglass gets the dazzle treatment. High-shine + large particle quartz and opal crystal captured in a great new formula with light-reflecting, crystalline iridescence. To be this dazzling: that's power.



Lipcolour that dazzles with light and shine to bring an exciting dimensional pop to your lips. Large particle pearls reflect and refract light to mimic the brilliance of quartz and opal crystal. Provides exceptional shine with a crystalline iridescence. Non-sticky, non-tacky, lightweight and moisturizing. Glides on. Wear alone, or layer over lipstick or Lipglass for dramatic effect. Features our signature M·A·C vanilla aroma.

It comes in 16 different colors:

Comet Blue- Violet blue
Funtabulous- Purple with violet pearl
Ms. Fizz- Bright pink with blue pearl
Like Venus-Clean light bubble gum pink with red pearl
Baby Sparks- Pale pink with violet pearl
Money, Honey- Mid-tone rosy mauve with red pearl
Rags to Riches- Plumy pink with teal and red pearl
Date Night- Deep plum with blue and gold pearl
Spanking Rich- Raspberry pink with red and gold pearl
Get Rich Quick- Warm yellow brown
Bare Necessity- Caramel apricot with red and gold pearl
Steppin' Out- Clean yellow pink with red pearl
Glamour O.D.- Bright coral red with red pearl
Sugarrimmed- Milky pale pink with red, teal and white pearl
Pleasure Principle- Clear white violet, teal and white pearl
Love Alert- Raspberry red with red pearl

$16.50

Check out the swatches at maccosmetics.com/

I want one, hopefully I'll be able to get one this weekend. I'm really loving Baby Sparks, Rags to Riches, Money Honey, Bare Necessity and Sugarrimmed. Uh, basically all of them. Hopefully these things don't have chunks of glitter in it, because that is so annoying. If you guys have one, leave a comment on how you like it! When I do get one (if I ever do), I'll for surely do a review on it. I can't believe they're charging $16.50 for them. Not that that's as ridiculous as a Stila Lipglaze, but seriously, this is gonna a burn a hole right through my pocket. Ugh, this is such a love hate thing.

On a side note, can't wait for Naughty Nauticals to come out. Check out Specktra if you want to see what's in the collection ahead of time. They have tons of info on all the upcoming MAC Collections. I'm definately keeping my eye on some shadows and lustreglasses!

MAC DressCamp Collection

Yeah, I know this thing is sold in like 5 stores across the world, and it sold out online in like two hours, but I thought I'd share the collection with you guys anyway. It's basically just like the MAC website, but with my two cents added. No, I didn't get anything, but a girl can dream...

DressCamp



In collaboration with M·A·C, Toshikazu Iwaya inspires a collection that fans fashion flames. Features hot colour, disco-trash metallics, all wrapped-up in immaculate black, white and gold packaging. Like DressCamp - this is wild.

DressCamp x 4 Face Palette, $36.00



Specially customized rectangular compact in gold-coloured metal featuring the collection’s signature black and white DressCamp pattern, crest and hot pink plaque with a gold M·A·C logo. Contains limited edition Beauty Powder in DressCamp Pink (a blue mid-tone pink with white pearlized pigments), three Eye Shadows; Sunny Girl (a yellow gold), Golden Gold (a deep golden bronze), Trend (a Neutral tan with gold pearlized pigments and compact-sized 213SE application brush. Comes packaged in its own coordinated carton.

I WANT THIS SO BADLY!!!! The colors look gorgeous, the packaging is gorgeous, they better make more and put them online, or else I will be very angry. That's all I have to say.

DressCamp Lipstick in Too Fab, $14.00



Traditional M·A·C Lipstick case featuring the collection’s signature black and white DressCamp pattern with an iconic gold star. Comes packaged in its own coordinated carton. Limited edition.

I'm not really a lipstick person, but I figured since there's only like four items in this collection (bummer), I might as well put everything.

DressCamp Lipglass, $14.00



Traditional M·A·C Lipglass vial shows its DressCamp colours with a cap printed in the collection’s signature black and white DressCamp pattern with an iconic gold star screened directly onto the vial. Comes packaged in its own coordinated carton. Limited edition.

She-Gold, Shade description: Yellow gold with gold pearl (Frost)



Geez, besides the face palette, this was the ONLY thing I wanted from this collection, and it's sold out, too. Come on MAC. Seriously? You have MILLIONS of customers WORLDWIDE, and you sell it in only 5 locations, and only have enough online to last for like two hours? Seriously? SERIOUSLY?!?!?! Ok, I'm sorry, that was a little off topic. Anyhoo, I've never had a gold lipgloss before, and this would have been perfect, but no, I can't have it. Stupid MAC :P

Fashion, Shade description: Bright mid-tone pink with white pearl (Frost)



Bright pink on my lips just looks funny, but this seems like a fun and funky color for those of you can pull it off.

All I can really say is I LOVE the collection, but I am just disappointed with the marketing (if that's the right word to use). Until I get my face palette and lipglass without having to spend like $100 on eBay, I will stay upset :(

(Just a side note, I'm not really that angry, I'm just kinda ranting.)

Thanks for reading!

MAC Heatherette Haul / Review

Wow! How cute is this collection? The packaging is absolutely ADORABLE, and wayyy better than Fafi. So here's my haul, and a little review on each thing I got :)

-Heatherette Trio 1 ($32.50)
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Comes with limited edition shadows in Mood Ring and Hoppin' with the repromote Cloudburst. This trio is sooo perfect for me, since I love greens and blues. Mood Ring is a great highlight, Hoppin' is a great lid color, and Cloudburst is the perfect crease/outer-v color. Cloudburst has little green sparkles in it, which compliment Hoppin' perfectly. It's a really cute trio, with a mirror, which is totally awesome! I just wish it came with a little brush inside, but I'll live. This trio is definatley a must have. The other trio is super cute too, I'm just not much of a pink/purple eyeshadow person.

-Beauty Powder, Smooth Harmony ($22.00)
Image and video hosting by TinyPicImage and video hosting by TinyPic
Described as a medium golden bronze, it's great for people with fair skin as a bronzer or contour color. For people with tan skin like me, it gives a nice all over glow, and it's matte, so it's not all sparkly like the Fafi Iridescent Pressed Powders. I really like this for an all over powder.

-Dual Edge Eye Pencil, Black Funk / Pop Blue ($16.50)
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Described as true black / turqouise with silver glitter, I really love this pencil. It's super creamy, and goes on really nicely. The black isn't anything special, but I do love the formula of this pencil, and the turquoise side is soooo pretty, it compliments Hoppin' from Trio 1 perfectly. There is glitter in it, so it's not good for the water line, but it's nice to line your upper and lower lash lines. Over all, a really great thing to have, and they are limited edition, so get them while you can!

Over all, I really like this collection. I might have to go back and get a lipglass in Sock Hop, and I thought Bonus Beat was really cute, but I already had C-Thru and they were really similar, so I didn't really feel like getting it. You should definately check out this collection, everything is packaged so nicely, and the products are really great. I hope you enjoyed reading. Thanks!
