Re: MAC - Colour Forms - July 08
I'm really really sorry... I know that my pics kinda suck but this is the best I can manage so please bear with me ok? =D It's out in Singapore last week and I only managed to get to it today.
2 pics consist of the eye and lip palettes, the lippies and the piggies while pic is only of 3 the 3 pigges (Gilded Green, Royal Flush and Circa Plum) and the last is a comparison between Lovely Lily and Circa Plum.
Just a little bit of description, Circa Plum is more violet and much darker than Lovely Lily. Lovely Lily has more white and more pink. I think it may be possible to actually recreate Circa Plum by mixing Lovely Lily with Grape or Violet I just need to get the correct proportion to achieve the same colour. So if you have Lovely Lily and Grape/Violet, I think its ok to skip Circa Plum... although I still bought it... I'm such a sucker honestly... LOL
I bought both the cool and warm palettes because they are just so lovely! Although I have to say that they are not much differernt from past lip palettes. I gave the eye palettes a miss due to budget issues... or I would have taken both. It's the Great Singapore Sale season so my wallet is kinda crying out in despair you see.
I also bought Pop Circle because everyone agrees that it is one of the few colours that look decent on me. I wanted to get Naked to the Core but its so light, it hardly even showed up on my NC15-NW20 (its summer so its hard to judge) complexion so I doubt it'll appear on my lips. Pop Circle is GORGEOUS! Though I have to say most of my lippies are this colour... its not that unique that u'll die without it.
I didnt get to play with the highlighters or the powders and I wasn't keen anyways because the powder is like expensive blush and the highlighters won't work well on my oily complexion.
Another note, for those who want to buy Steel Blue, here's a piece of advice... DON'T! I bought it when The Originals was launched and I'm totally regretting it. I'm not saying its not nice... it's GORGEOUS to me or I would have returned it. BUT I haven't found many uses for it and I've only been able to use it alone and not with other colours... so its just sad that I can only swatch it on my hand, admire how pretty the gold flecks look on the turquiose then sigh and say what a pity it is that I dont use it much. A sample will be more than enough.
