MAC Gareth Pugh Look

For this look I mixed the Gareth Pugh
 Cream Shadows with Inglot Eye Shadows.
I love the texture and quality of the cream shadows, only thing that I found difficult was building up the color while blending it in to the crease. Once the Inglot shadows were mixed in, it made it easier to work with. Overall, I think the cream shadows are a great product but I probably wouldn't spend $32 just because its limited edition.

MAC Iris Apfel Matte Lipsticks

Happy New Year Everyone!

It's been awhile since my last post, so I'm going to make it short & sweet. 
Just wanted to share swatches for the new 
Iris Apfel Lipstick collection from MAC.


First off, quality is NEVER an issue with MAC lipsticks (at least in my experience). Secondly, the color pay off is so intense! I'm afraid to wear it.... lol okay may not but the color is unbelievable! I'm a HUGE fan of matte lipsticks and these are definitely going in my top 10!


From Left to Right: Pink Pigeon, Scarlet Ibis & Party Parrot

I'm currently working on a look to go with one 
of these gorgeous lipsticks so stay tuned! :)
