So, I've kinda being sitting on this purchase, and wanting to talk about it for a while now. On a usual lazy Saturday, Ronny and I will walk about Queen St and visit our usual stores. His bookstores, and my makeup jaunts to MAC. "I'll be at MAC" and we part ways. He'll often wander inside MAC and see me with an artist trying something new. On this particular day, I hit the jackpot......my birthday present.
MAC released a "Couture" line of 4 highlighting eye shadows, 4 various shades of "Mystery Pressed Powder", 4 luxurious lipsticks and 4 wonderful lip glasses. The signature packaging is a sell in itself. It is extremely heavy in weight, (for a compact). The black, square compact, embossed with tiny little squares on the top give the look of luxury. The eye shadows have the same packaging, in a smaller version. The lipsticks are in a silvery black, also square package that looks significantly different than it's "regular" lipstick counterparts. ($26.00)
For my b-day I received:
The gorgeous Candy Apple Red (to the left) lipstick. A long lasting, very sexy red, that will go with just about every little black dress event. The Mystery Pressed Powder, which also has a second (gasp!) pop in compact ready to go underneath once you complete the first one. The powder is a velvety matte, luminous finish that give your skin a flawless complexion. It should, it retails at $54.00!!
The eye shadows- a highly luxurious, metallic, slightly emollient, highlighter that strokes on the skin with such a cream-like smoothness, it looks as if it’s been poured on. Provides intensely brilliant multi-dimensional highlight effects in just one stroke. Layers up to maximize metallic impact. The "Rare and Refined" pink coloured one is beautiful underneath brows and on cheeks. LOVE IT. Retails at $26.00
