Swatches :: MAC Marilyn Monroe Collection

Better late than never, eh?! I was waiting until I recorded a video for it but I took a little longer than expected. However, you can still find the the Marilyn Monroe Collection in stores and some products online, so if there is something you are interested in getting, you may still be able to find it.

Here are pictures of what I picked up and you can see more discussion in my update video here.

Beyond the fact that the packaging is to die for, the lipsticks are so amazing! I picked up 3, while one other I already had which was Scarlet Ibis. The blushes are pretty light, making them limiting to women of color. The Dazzleglass Phiff! is super gorgeous as well. The eyeshadows are pretty, but not the most amazing part of the collection.

Haul :: MAC Heaven Creatures Pictures and Swatches!

If you love MAC’s mineralized products, then this collection is for you. I like the mineralized blushes the most, but there were a few unique eyeshadows that I thought were worth having as well. The mineralized skin finishes were also winners for this collection, so I had to get two of those.

Since I was low on time, I didn’t record a video but I did have time to swatch them last week, so here are the pictures and swatches for you!

Products purchased:

Center of the Universe MSF (golden/coral color, great as a blush alone or the gold can be a highlight)
Light Year MSF (light pink, best as a highlighter for me)
Magnetic Attraction E/S (red/coral/golden color, I mainly like the reddish tone)
Sky E/S (you can never have to many blue eyeshadows, right? Plus, the mixed color is nice teal/blue combo)
Water E/S (this was was the most interesting with a greenish blue with yellow combination)
Supernova Mineralized Blush (Great pink, with hint of gold)
Cut a Caper Lipstick (It’s a nice light coral, more on the orange side than pink but very wearable)
Firesign Lipstick (Light sheer red color, again very wearable red)
Meteoric Cremesheen Lipglass (my favorite of the colors, nice pinky coral with a golden tone)
Celestial Kiss Cremesheen Lipglass (a nice neutral color, an everyday pick)

Swatches :: MAC Beth Ditto X Casual Color

The newest collection from MAC, Beth Ditto and Casual Color, offers more fun colors and a new product.

For Beth Ditto, I opted for most of the lip colors because they are all limited edition Pro Longwear Lipcremes and I love the formula. I also picked up the Liquidlast Liner, which is permanent, but I needed a new black liquid liner.

I have all of the repromoted lip liners, which are In Synch, Embrace Me, and Entertain Me. All I love and recommend owning.

Lastly, I picked up 2 of the new Casual Color pots, which is a cool new product that serves as both a lip and cheek color. Not a new concept though, very similar to Stila’s Convertible Colors. While the price point may seem a bit steep at $20 but you get a great amount of product, plus the dual use makes it so great to keep on hand. I may pick up a few other colors.

Full video coming soon, but for now enjoy the pictures!
