MAC Veluxe Pearlfusion Shadow Collection (Upcoming)

It’s eye shadow innovation like you’ve never seen before. A versatile powder that brings out the pigment’s pure and true colour. The result is a glamorous, creamy and lightweight hybrid offering two distinctive effects: applied wet for a super saturation of colour that glistens with metallic brilliance, or dry for sheer coverage with a soft, sparkling finish. Six palettes feature five complementary shades that glide on and blend beautifully for infinite day-to-night looks: Pinkluxe, Bleuluxe, Pastelluxe, Greenluxe, Smokeluxe and Brownluxe. For perfection in application, use the 275 Medium Angled Shading Brush.

My Verdict:

As soon as I saw the colours, I knew they'd be perfect for a smoky eye look - especially if you're someone that doesn't want to bring many eye shadow palettes because one of these MAC eye shadow boxes/palettes is all you need! So far, my favourite colours are Pasteluxe and Brownluxe - to create a neutral/brown smoky eye.

However, I am disappointed about the packaging because the strips are so tiny that even with the recommended Medium Angled Shading Brush, I anticipate that it'll be hard to pick up just ONE colour without touching the others! This will make application a tad hard :/

MAC All About Orange Summer 2013 (Limited Edition): Out Today

Don't you just love this advert? Yepp, it's all about orange this summer & MAC is catching on with the trend. I think that this collection will be perfect for adding a subtle hint of orange in your everyday wear, just in time for summer, if you're not too comfortable with going full blast with the bright orange trend.

"Orange. Its vibrant energy and modern edge ignites fashion and beauty big time in Korea, the rest of Asia and the world. It's one of the new global super shades that pops with sizzle and cool sophistication. M∙A∙C translates the trend with international impact into a colour collection for face, lips and nails." - MAC US

Flamingo - light milky bright coral (lustre)

Sushi Kiss - Mid-tone coral cream (satin)

My verdict

Although not strictly just orange - as it has variations of pinks and corals - I still think that this collection is perfect for summer. I'm most excited to try:

Lipstick: Sushi Kiss

Cremesheen Glass: Double Happiness

Powder Blush: Honey Jasmine

Nail Lacquer: Ke Ai

Yes, as you can see, I prefer softer shades :D

For the eyeshadow quad, I'm a little disappointed as it seems like the 'odd one out' of the collection since there's not a bit of orange! I thought that they may've included either bright orange or coral eyeshadow shades and the eyeshadow 'rainy season' quad isn't very summery :( BUT, I guess it can either be a base or accompany any brighter eyeshadow shades you already have (:

Coming to stores on: June 6th (TODAY!)
