MAC - Cham-Pale

Did you like this collection? I thought I wouldn't but I actually kind of did... However, the products I wanted the most (Chez Chez Lame and Dangerous Cuvee Paint Pot) were sold out when I finally got the chance to visit MAC, so I decided to get those two products instead. Turns out I really love both of them!

To the right is a lipgelée, and the colour is Sin-Tillation. This is a light pink shade with lots of multi-coloured shimmer, and it's one of those that look good over almost any lipstick!
And the paint pot I got is Chilled on Ice. It's an exceptionally pretty colour, though very light, and can go under pretty much any eyeshadow.

A close-up of the Chilled on Ice paint pot - the colour is so pretty, it's a light one (almost white!) with a hint of melon to it and some golden shimmer to top things off.

Why does looking at product names make me feel so good? :)

The lipgelée is swatched lightly to the left (top row) but heavily to the right.
And below is the paint pot, very lightly swatched to the left but heavily to the right.

The same swatches, different lighting. Wanted you to see the multi-coloured glitter in the lipgelée, so pretty!
I love those product because I know that I will be using them non-stop! Did you get anything from this collection?
Love, Miss Diorista

MAC haul from London!

I have a family full of wonderful people, I'm lucky. One of them, my niece, lives in London. Last weekend, she came home for a short visit, and I asked her to buy a few MAC things for me (of course, I paid her back), since everything is much cheaper abrought. My sweet sweet niece bought three things, all of which you can see above.
Starting from the left, you see my first MAC Blushcreme ever! I'm so excited! Well... I'm excited for all of this! The blush shade is Lilicent, a beautiful earthy pink colour, looks very natural and pretty. I have worn it a few times now, and have used my finger for applying it... I'm thinking about getting the MAC 188 brush for it, have you guys tried that? The blushcreme is swatched on top.
Next is an eyeshadow, the famous Satin Taupe. I can see now what the rave is all about. This colour is beautiful, a chocolatey brown grey... with silver sheen. So pretty. Looks fabulous alone, but layered over the third product, it is absolutely stunning (sorry I didn't swatch it that way!). Satin Taupe is swatched in the middle.
The last product is a paint pot, in Rubenesque. What a beautiful colour. It looks very pink in the pot, but on my hand it is a golden pink, with a pretty sheen to it. Love it. For a simple, work-suitable eye, I sweep the paint pot over my lids, and for a little more drama, I add Satin Taupe on top.
I know the swatch picture looks a bit strange... the lighting is off and my hand looks HUGE! Believe me, it's not that huge in person! I hope you benefit from the swatches, though.

Thanks again, niece (lol, don't know if you want your name here!), those products are amazing, all of them, I can't thank you enough!

If you want reviews on any of those, or on products from my June Favourites, please comment and tell me. Or if you have those, tell me your opinion. But in any case, comment!

Yours,

Miss Diorista.
