As I promised yesterday, today I bring you a post of my Haul from the MAC Cham Pale collection.
Here is what I bought:
Top Left: Special Reserve Highlight Powder in Rosé Ole
Top Right: Caviar Dreams Eye Shadow x 4 (top row l to r: Brulé, Retrospeck; bottom row l to r: Et tu, Bouquet?, Caviar Dreams
Paint Pots (L to R): Let Me Pop, Vintage Selection, Dangerous Cuvée
When I first saw the preview of this collection, my initial impulse was to buy all four Paint Pots. Unfortunately, that plan did not work out so well for me. The first paint pot, Chilled on Ice, was already sold out by the time I got to the MAC website.
I love the eye shadow quad - shimmery gold tone shadows look great on my blue eyes. So, ordering it was a no brainer.
The lipsticks and lip gelées did not appeal to me, as they're all nude colors. I also wasn't really all that interested in the eye kohls, Fix +, or other items in the collection.
The only other items that stood out to me were the highlight powders - in particular, the pink one. So into my shopping basket it went!
Overall, I am quite happy with my purchases. I am in love with the paint pots - but in particular Dangerous Cuvée. The paint pot is a shimmery grey, with pink and red shimmers in it. It looks gorgeous! I am excited to experiment with this using the eye shadows Vex and Club.
Today I wore the paint pot Vintage Selection (a peach-pink champagne color) with the eye shadow Et tu, Bouquet? overtop, and Caviar Dreams as liner on my top and bottom lashes, and I loved the way it looked! The Caviar Dreams quad is going to quickly become a staple in my makeup collection. I also used the highlight powder in place of my Benefit High Beam, and think it's a great alternative to using that liquid product on days where I would rather use a powder. The shimmer is subtle and finely milled, and the color is a very pretty 'natural' pink. I swear, it is almost the same pink as Benefit High Beam.
Yesterday night I decided to take a peek back at the MAC website to see how much of the collection is sold out online - and I got a suprise! Of all the items I ordered, the only two that aren't completely sold out are the paint pot in Let Me Pop, and the Special Reserve Highlight Powder in Rosé Ole! So, if you are interested in any of the items I bought above, your best bet to get the items is to go to your local MAC counter. It's slim pickings on the website right now!
Have a great weekend!
