MAC Refill Haul II.

Hello Beauties! I have another MAC refill haul. If you recall last year MAC added quite a few Pro items to the regular site but they didn't add all the shadows initially. I was browsing the website (as I normally do) and noticed that the other shadows were finally added so I picked up a some along with a few other things. On to the pics, enjoy.

The eye shadows

Canary Yellow - "Bright yellow" matte finish

Bright Sunshine - "Primary iridescent yellow" frost finish

Sour Lemon - "Acidy yellow chartreuse" satin finish  

Lime - "Lime green" matte finish

Amber Lights - "Peachy brown with shimmer" frost finish 

Swatches

Canary Yellow, Bright Sunshine, Sour Lemon, Lime, Amber Lights

The blushes

Desert Rose - "Soft reddish-burgundy" matte finish

Coppertone - "Peach brown" matte finish

Swatches

Desert Rose, Coppertone

I'm happy with all these additions. I've been having each item on my (long) MAC list for the longest. 

Thanks so much for viewing!!

MAC Ablaze Eye Shadow.

Hello Beauties! Long time no blog, eh? I hope all has been well with everyone. Today I have a really short MAC post featuring Ablaze eye shadow from the Fashion Sets collection. I picked up a "few" of the lip products you can see here. I may or may not do posts on those because as of now I believe most if not all of it is sold out.

MAC Ablaze Shadow

Description: "Midtonal Coral"

Finish: Matte

Price: $15.00

Where to buy: MAC online, store or counter. I ordered mine from Nordstrom.

I think this will be really nice for the Spring and Summer. I was going to skip it first until I saw a side by side picture of it and MAC Coral Pro eye shadow. I've been wanting it for a while so I decided to pick this up. This product is limited edition.

Sugar Pill Heartbreaker Palette.

Hello Beauties! I'm really thrilled about doing this post because I got my hands on the newest Sugarpill palette, the Heart Breaker palette. This was love at 1st sight for me because I love bright, bold eye shadows.

I was already looking to add similar colors to my collection and when they all came together in one palette I immediately thought it was fate (yes it's that serious). Also I really like the pigmentation of Sugarpill's eye shadows.

 

          

                ... "A delicious fix for color fiends! Sugarpill palettes offer bold combinations of richly pigmented, luxury pressed powders in striking hues. The velvety smooth texture allows flawless application and superior blending."

Where to buy: Sugarpill.net

Price: $34 ($48 value)

Amount: 4g/0.14 oz x 4 pans

Finish: These are all matte but Acidberry, 2am, and Mochi have some slight sheen to them. I'd say Velocity was the only true matte. 

More pics and swatches!

 

So far I'm really impressed and I can't wait to do some looks using it!

My {Current} Top Ten MAC Eyeshadows

Hello Beauties! If you can't tell from my posts already but I LOVE MAC eye shadows! I have a growing collection of around 40-50 shadows and I wanted to share with you all my top ten.

Top Row (from left to right) - Soft Brown, Naked Lunch, Rule, Samoa Silk, Brule

Bottom Row (from left to right) - All That Glitters, Brown Script, Expensive Pink, Woodwinked, Plum Dressing

1. Soft Brown (Matte) - Described as "Soft Golden Peachy Brown". This shade is really close to my skin tone & I use it almost everyday as my transition color.

2. Naked Lunch (Frost) - Described as "Minimal Pink w/Shimmer". I use this shade quite often as a highlight for my brow bone area.

3. Rule (Matte) - Described as "Vivid Orange" shade. I love this for blending my crease area when I want more color.

4. Samoa Silk (Veluxe) - Described as "Polynesian Peach". Initially I thought this was a matte shade but when I looked it up it's under the Veluxe shades, to me it applies like all the other matte MAC shades I own. I like using this shadow for several different purposes, I call it my "Jack of all Trades" shade. I use it as a lid color, to blend out crease colors, and as a brow bone highlight as well.

5. Brule (Satin) - Described as "Soft Creamy-Beige". I use this as a brow bone highlight color or I sometimes mix it with Naked Lunch and use that as a lid color.

6. All That Glitters ( Veluxe Pearl) - Described as "Beige w/Gold Pearl. This is my favorite lid color ever. I use this all the time with Embark e/s as one of my daily looks for school.

7. Brown Script (Matte²) -Described as "Warm Chestnut Brown". This brown compliments my skin tone really well and I use for my crease area.

 8. Expensive Pink (Veluxe Pearl) - Described as "Pink w/Duochrome". This was among my first few MAC eye shadows and I've loved it from the beginning. I use this for my lid and sometimes as a inner corner highlight.

9. Woodwinked (Veluxe Pearl) - Described as "Warm Antique Gold". This color is good for using as a wash of color over the entire lid and perfect for those days when you are in a rush. It looks beautiful alone but also looks great with other colors as well. Everyone says it's a must for WOC, but I think it's a must for all skin tones. 

10. Plum Dressing (Veluxe Pearl) - Described as "Pinky-Plum w/Metal". I got this color during the summer this year and it instantly became one of my favorites. I'm all for pinky-purplish goodness. I use this primarily as a crease color with darker purples such as MAC's Shadowy lady and the wonderful MUFE #92.

Honorable Mentions

Chrome Yellow (matte) - Described as "Vivid Bright Yellow". I used this color quite often in the summer time. It is really difficult to work with but the end result is really pretty and I purchased MAC's Chromaline in Primary Yellow to use as a base for this and it really helps with the pigmentation.

Plumage (matte) - Described as "Dusky Peacock". This is a gorgeous dark green shade and the pigmentation is insane. It is the most pigmented matte shade I own from MAC. 

I think it's safe to say that the Veluxe Pearl finish is my favorite finish from MAC but I know that the matte finish is in a close second.
