MAC Posh Paradise writing on a rainy day
Rainy Day.
Good day all. I happen to have the day off work so I decided to give this blogging thing a go. I want to write about beauty mostly as this is what I am interested in. I know there are a million beauty blogs out there already, as I have read many of them, so I thought why not put myself out here too. I am not a make-up artist nor do I work for any cosmetic company, just enjoy trying out different products and looks.
MAC just released their fall 2011 Collection Posh Paradise last week, so I was super excited to go to the launch party at my local mall to pick up some goodies. The colors for fall were amazing, I am sure all of you have seen by now the swatches and what not. I have read alot of peoples comments about buying from collections as most products will be limited edition, I don't mind because by the time you use the whole product up, you will be ready for a change anyways, at least I think I would be. Anyways, the products I picked up from the collection were Imaginary paint pot (my first paint pot ever.. loves) and the pro longwear eyeshadow in Pink Frontier, love the golden pink. Now that I know I love paint pots I think I might go back for the Idyllic. I also got a few items not from the collection, DipDown Fliudline, and Nymphite Lipglass.
When I got home I couldn't wait to play! If you want pictures just ask and I will post. I haven't found many pics of how people are wearing Imaginary yet. *Note I do not have a high quality camera, so the pics will decent but not perfect.
Imaginary looks great as a base for a smokey eye, it is described as a blackened navy. I highlighted under my brow and in the inside corner of my eye with Cream Base in Pearl, then covered my lid just over the crease with Imaginary, then used a navy pigment from L'Oreal over it, and really packed it on in the crease and outer corner. Also this paint pot has a really thick opaque finish, so i lined my eyes with a black pencil liner then went over it with the paint pot and it really made the color pop. Then finished with my Clinique dramatic mascara in black. Nice look, I wore it to work, because I can lol, with a nude lip which comprised of MAC's cremesheen lipstick in cream cup i think it is called with the Nymphite Lipglass over.
Alot of people wouldn't suggest a navy smokey eye with a greenish/bluish eye color, but that is what I have and it just made my eyes look more green. I say just go for it!
I feel like I want to write about so many different things, but I dont want to overwhelm the first post, so I will post this and see how it goes then I will write more later.
Note: If future posts are written, I would like to write about :
~Using my 130 MAC brush with my Vichy Corrective Foundation. Both took some time to get used to as the brush is small and the foundation is thick. But now I love it.
~Konad nail stamping. I have the M57 plate and black special polish. I like the way the zebra looks over Essie polish in Chinchilly. Everytime I wear this polish I get compliments on it, what a wonderful color.
~Using the Pink Frontier eyeshadow with the dipdown fluidline. Great for a simple, understated yet striking eye, worn with a nude or bold lipcolor looks great.
OK i am done rambling now lol. Leave a post. What products did you get from the Posh Paradise or Styledriven collections?
Ciao
