MAC MAC Is Beauty Collection (March 30 / April 2, 2015)

i guess there's not much point keeping scoop threads under wraps once bloggers get their samples

I require one Diva-ish

Nuances

Alpha Girl looks tempting...I have PB already from Barbie.

I have my eye on 5 lippies- Real Doll, Catty, Make me Gorgeous, Diva-ish, Reel sexy.

What's your list atm?

Agreed. We both require one Diva-ish!

Nuances--definitely!!
You NEED Alpha girl. No question. If you saw it in person, you would absolutely grab it! It is TOTALLY GORGEOUS!

I have absolutely no idea what I am getting, other than Diva. Am planning on going in-store to swatch and see!

I want the 221 so badly! Never had the chance to get the 226, hope it's similar! for some reason I love white haired eye brushes

 

[Monsy]

226 is much shorter

this looks more like 222

 

[Mardybum]

yeah I've noticed! It won't be as precise, I'm usually not a big fan of long haired brushes, but it still looks like it will work better for my crease than the 224 or the 217 since I have small eyes!

 

[Prettypackages]

oh I forgot about the brushes.. I want those, and if I have money left over my other list.

 

[andicandi3x12]

Gonna grab two 221 I have two 222 that I use daily and I had two 226 that I got with b/b/r and promptly lost.

I think I'm getting both powders. I can't decide between the two!

Seriously both powders are amazing! I manged to snag them 2 weeks ago at a training and they give me life! Im NC45 for reference and they are so so so BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Same here! AG and Reel Sexy!...skipping the fluidlines after deliberating with myself, lol. I rarely wear eyeliner.

 

[tchristi]

I think I might be the only one whos not excited about alpha girl, well if thats the same one from heatherette. its not bad but im not in love with it.

 

[Lipsnliner]

Ok ladies, sorry for the wait, had technical difficulties so hubby helped lol Excuse my lighting as well
had no time to set up lights... Here are the product pics & swatches:

On the left Alpa Girl, On the right Pearl Blossom...






Swatches:

On my left fist, I've separated the Alpha Girl swatch & Pearl Blossom with a brow pencil line...
I put my right hand in the photo so you can see how it's illuminated my skin without making it look ashy

Pearl blossom is a beautiful pearlized glow - i thought it would be ashy but they got it just right. Alpha girl is THE BEST
beauty powder I have in my collection from MAC. You can use it to subtley add a luminous glow ALL. Ova. Yo. Face.
Normally the BP's arent suitable to use all over for us tanned and brown girls but this is a winner.

The lens isnt picking it up as my eyes see it but its perfect for us medium and brown skin girls. You MUST see it in person.


My swatched hand next to my bare hand so you can see the subtle color difference & glow


I loaded more Pearl blossom on so you can really see it built up...
Opposite side of that line is still Alpha Girl.



Other swatches are Reel Sexy l/s, Diva ish l/s, Preening e/s & Bouffant e/s

Hope this helps!

Alpha girl is coming home with me but Im debating on Pearl Blossom...Karen makes everything look good but do you guys think it will look decent on an NC 42-44?

If it is the exact same as the heatherette release, I remember it being an ashy pink on me...I bought it for the compact then haha and my mom threw out the compact when i moved out a few years ago
