Marilyn Monroe MAC Lipstick Collection

(From Left to Right: Pure Zen,Love Goddess,Scarlet Ibis,Charmed Im Sure,Deeply Adored)
Price:$16.50ea USD (Pro Discount Avail.)
**Before i get into showing the colors on myself,i want to say these colors may or may not show up the same color on you as it did on me depending on your skin tone.**
LETS JUMP INTO IT!!!
(Top: Pure Zen ,Botton: Love Goddess)
 
Pure Zen- Is a nude lipstick,not too light and not too dark,its in between so it will compliment all skin tones. The texture is very smooth and creamy as it is a Cremesheen.It is definetly the most moisturizing out of the bunch.
Love Goddess- Is a red lipstick with a pink tint.Very wearable in the day or at night.This has a satin finish ,so it has a hint of sheen to it.Eventhough this is a satin finish it also is moisturizing, and quite smooth .You may need to re-apply after a couple of hours ,but its still worth getting.I must say out of the collection this is my FAVORITE! one.
 
(Top: Scarlet Ibis,Middle:Charmed Im Sure, Bottom:Deeply Adored)
 
Scarlet Ibis- This was my least favorite of the collection.It is matte red with a orange undertone. The pigment is great on this but it is slightly drying on the lip and maybe thats because it is a matte finish.I would recomend adding a moisturizer to your lip before applying.
Charmed Im Sure- This color has a matte finish but eventhough it is a matte, it is moisturizing,not as moisturizing as a cremesheen but nonetheless its moisturizing enough.Its a deep red. Suitable on all skin tones,Especially on women of color.This is a perfect red for you all. Not too bright and not too dark.
Deeply Adored- My Second favorite one of the collection. This color is ABSOLUTELY! gorgeous.It kind of looks the same as the one above it but you can still tell the difference, this one is darker.It is a matte finish ,but like the one above it,it still is moisturizing enough. This definetly looks great on all skin tones. A wonderful fall color to say the least.
 
**If interested in these,unfortunately they are sold out on the MAC website,but you can check on ebay or amazon. Two of them i heard were apart of MAC's permanent line but im not sure which ones. I think Pure Zen was one of them and the other im not sure.**

*** If any one wants to know what i have on my lips it is MAC's Sheen Supreme Lipstick in "Asian Flower" mixed with MAC's Amplified Lipstick in "UP The Amp" and for a glossy look i added MAC's Cremesheen Glass in " Japanese Spring"

MAC's Haute&Naughty Too Black Lash Mascara

I ABSOLUTELY! cannot rave enough about this product! This a two in one mascara. As you can see in the picture the first brush is thick,which will give off a very dramatic and full lash look. While the second lash wand ,which is slim and less thick will give you a natural look. I use this mascara in all my "GET THE LOOK" step by step posts. I have nothing negative to say about this product . Its a little bit on the pricey side some would say. Its $20.00 USD. If you are a pro member like myself you can get this product for $12.00 USD. No matter the price this product is well worth it!

MAC's Pure White Chromaline

MAC's Pure White Chromaline is absolutely a must in your makeup kit.This creamy product has a variety of uses. You can use it as eyeliner,a eyeshadow base or to create art on your face or body. I personally use this as an eyeshadow base mainly and it works wonders! The eyeshadows you place over top of them are instantly more pigmented and brought to life!. I encourage everyone to try this ,you will not be disappointed!! :)
 
*A Little goes a long way!
*Creamy and smooth
*Pigmented
* $18.50 USD

MAC's New Empty Palette

 
OKK!!! so initially when i was in MAC making my palette i was very excited at the new look. Not to say that im not any more, but while there were things i liked ,there also were are a couple of things i didnt like. Pros: (Not Many)  * Way more sturdy than older palette.
*SEE THROUGH!! This was the main thing i was excited about!
*The Lid is magnetic!

Cons:(More Than Pros)

*Not Slim! (as you see in the first picture ) it seems to take up more room than the older palette.
*No Longer Magnetic as far as placing the eyeshadows in it.
*Have to pay seperately for the palette insert, the tray where you place the eyeshadows in.
*Total cost of both the insert($9.00 USD) and empty palette($18.00 USD) is $27.00 USD
(not including tax)

SIDENOTE*** I do believe they still sell the older palette ,as i still see it on the site and it is listed as sold out! So im not sure if they will discontinue or not! KEEP IN MIND! this is only my opinion, as everyone elses and yours may differ!
