MAC Surf Baby - Swell Baby Eye Shadow

-

On first application Swell Baby applied a little on the sheer side but not so sheer as the color was lost on my lids.  More it gave a kissed hint of grey that only deepened to a lovely pewter shade as I built it up.  Grey tones aren't part of my collection and I normally don't go for them.  More cause I worry they might be too dark than the pan shows.  Not Swell Baby, its a lovely light shade that stays light as you layer it on.





MAC Swell Baby is Limited Edition mid-tone grey with a satin sheen and will compliment just about any skin tone.  What I like about the satin sheens is they are a cross between matte and shimmer.  I also love that Swell Baby has taken me out of my comfort zone and forced me to look at pewter and grey shades more.  I just might become addicted if I'm not careful.



Available online at MAC and in stores.

Tarte for True Blood Collector's Eye Shadow Palette Review

-

I'll admit it, I am an Ultimate Truebie.  I was hooked on the novels by Charlaine Harris over 8 years ago, when the show came out it was only natural I would migrate to it.  I am an uber nerd for True Blood.  I have been waiting for a collection like this for some time!  I was really surprised when I found out Tarte would be doing the collection.  I keep hoping Pam shows up in an episode with an outfit modeled after the cover! I have been playing with this palette almost every day since I got it.  (that half explains my lack of reviews lately)  I am in love with this palette!  I honestly think that this is palette, nay this entire collection is the only collection you every need in your arsenal.  It’s just that good!

China Glaze Mahogany Magic - The Hunger Games Collection Review

-

China Glaze brings the 12 Districts of Panem to life in the The Hunger Games Collection.  I'll be working my way through all the colors in time for the opening games, I mean opening night of the movie.  Forgive me for going out of order, I wanted to mix things up a bit so I randomly arranged the collection before swatching. We start off our tour of Panem in the land of lumber and paper known as District 7 with Mahogany Magic. A rich and creamy chocolate color that was a dream to apply and opaque in two coats.  Shown here with no top coat I wanted the true colors of these to stand out.  Mahogany Magic is one of those shades that isn't necessarily for everyone.  You have to like your neutrals and your browns to be into this shade.  Of course being a neutral, it is universally flattering for all skin tones.  I love this shade as it is, however SonicReckoning preferred how it looked with Electrify on top. Mahogany Magic shown here ...
