Photo Realism Quad - FOTD
By Shimmer on Aug 12, 2009
I went to the unveiling last night, and I'm quite impressed with this collection. I really love the quads, they're what stood out the most. Of course, being me, I avoid purples like the devil, so the In The Gallery quad wasn't so much for me, but Notoriety and Photo Realism call my name. Ultimately, because I've got SO MANY bronze/gold/copper eye shadows, I picked the Photo Realism quad and grabbed Artistic License to go along with it.
When I went in, I asked my girl "ok baby, what do I NEED from this collection?" The first thing she said was the green quad. The second thing she said was Brash & Bold pigment. Her reason for the quad was that there isn't anything else like it in the line, and the pigment was "the first pink [she's] ever put on that didn't burn her eyes or make them water, and it lasted all day". Sweet.
Anyway...I couldn't wait to try my goodies out, so I wore them to work today. When I made one of my morning stops, the girl was super sweet and complimented me on my shadow. Yay!

Maybe. I almost always treat blush as an afterthought. :o If it weren't for MSFs and a sigh of resignation when I consider it, I'd probably not have any. :o I'm bad. I know.

The Notoriety quad really just struck me as "spice chocolate - lite". :o I love this one though. I can honestly say it's my favorite MAC quad to date. :)

You should really wear
You should really wear blushes more often! You wear them well and give you such a lovely glow. I used to largely ignore them but I've become nearly as addicted as I am to eyeshadows b/c I've realized what a nice finishing touch they are to the face. The green looks great, I'll check it out!
oh, I wear blush every day,
