MAC Wonder Woman NYC Preview Party & Swatches

This past Tuesday I had the pleasure of going to my first MAC Preview Party in NYC! There were HOT male model waiters passing out Wonder Woman red velvet cupcakes and for the over 21 set, there were some free cocktails! The purpose of this party is to be the first to view the new Wonder Woman collection and get your make-up done by the MAC artists and swatch and purchase the collection. Lucky for me, I have a great MAC artist who puts new collections aside for me so they don't sell out before I get a chance to purchase them. Hopefully I will be invited again and able to go to more of these parties in the future. Below are some pictures for you guys. I hope you enjoy them:)

Once inside you could see all the wonderful display decorations they had around the store.

I also have an awesome MAC artist who gave me a sneak peak into their stock closet which is amazing! Also, check out her Wonder Woman staff shirt. I totally want one!

How awesome is the shirt! Next, I was able to get some pictures of the products on display. It is a pretty small MAC store and very crowded so I did the best I could. Sorry if it is on an angle.

I was able to do a quick swatch of the Lip glosses (which are JUMBO size) and the Lipsticks below.

The first picture is with flash and the second one is with no flash. The colors from left to right are Athena's Kiss, Wonder Woman, Secret Identity, Emancipation, (Lip glosses) Marquise 'd, Heroine, Spitfire, Russian Red (missing) (Lipsticks)

When walking into the store they give you a poster and a sheet to check off all the products that you want to get. Below are the pictures. I don't collect MAC postcards but I think I am going to save these.

Next up is what I actually ended up getting. The boxes were actually really cool. I only got (1) Lip gloss, (1) MSF and (1) Blush.

As you can see I got Wonder Woman Lip gloss, Golden Larait MSF and Mighty Aphrodite duo blush.

Let's start with Wonder Woman Lip gloss. This is a beautiful red lip gloss. I have been on a red lip kick lately and thought this would make a great addition. It seems to have iridescent sparkles in it which I really like. It is also JUMBO size. I think this lip gloss will literally last me forever. Pics and swatch below.

Next, I got the Mighty Aphrodite blush. I really like how there are two different colors in the pan. I haven't seen MAC be that creative in a while. Again, these blushes are bigger then the standard MAC blushes.

I think these colors will be very pretty mixed together or used separately as well.

And last but not least, the biggest MSF I have EVER seen-Golden Lariat.

As you can see beautiful shades. From a highlighter to a bronzer. This picture doesn't even do this MSF justice. I think if there is one thing to get from this collection it would be this. Plus it will last forever as it is HUGE.

What are your current wants from this collection? Do you like the packaging or hate it? Would love to hear you comments. Until next time:)

MAC Wonder Woman Collection

MAC is launching a Wonder Woman cosmetics collection — and judging by this preview, it is going to reach the pinnacle of comic-nerd cool. The tough-as-nails Amazon has inspired a set of bold makeup colors for Diana Prince wannabes, along with Wonder Woman's signature red-and-blue packaging. Expect lip gloss, nail polish, shimmering pigments, and more from this collaboration. (The only thing missing? An invisible jet.) Wonder Woman is one of our favorite fictional feminist icons, so we're looking forward to lassoing these goodies when they hit stores in March. See the whole collection here. (Images and Text borrowed from Bella Sugar)

I am not thrilled with the packaging as it looks a little bit "preschool-ish" but I think there are some really cool LE products coming out. I am most excited for the Powder Blush duo, mainly in Mighty Aphrodite. I think both of the MSF's look really pretty. And for some reason, I am really loving the make up bags. None of the lipsticks or the lip glosses really do it for me this time. Neither are the eyeshadow quads. I am shocked because these are usually my favorites in any MAC LE collection. 

What are your thoughts on this collections? What are your must haves?

Too Faced Pixie Perfect Holiday Set

Hi All! It has been too long since my last post. Sorry I have been such a slacker. During the holiday season things tend to get a little crazy. However, with the holidays, come special holiday make up sets! There are sooo many to choose from this year but I think I found the perfect one. The Too Faced Pixie Perfect Holiday Set is not only the perfect mix of items to carry around in your purse at all times but, I looove the design they released this year.

I love the colors and the pretty flowers, butterflies and fairies. It is so girly! I also really love the texture of the make up that Too Faced Cosmetics produces. Their eye shadows and blushes always seem to go on so smoothly. Once you open your bag there is travel sized lash injection mascara, a travel sized shadow insurance, a LE eyeshadow quad and blush/bronzer duo, and a glamour gloss.

 Look at how pretty the compacts are alone! Here is what it looks like opened.

The blush/bronzer duo is my favorite. It is Snow Bunny and Papa Don't Peach. I am huge bronzer fanatic and it is always nice when I don't have to bring an additional compact with me when I go out of the house. The eye shadows have all been released in the Natural and Naked Eyeshadow sets they put out before but, they have all been re-purposed here. I really like these neutrals colors...You have a good high-light, a little shimmer and a nice matte. They include Velvet Revolver, Enchanted Forest, Totally Toasted, and Peach Fuzz.

And here is a swatch of the eyeshadow quad.

I am a MAC NC 20 for reference. They just glide on so nicely.

And last but not least, is a close up of the lip gloss, mascara, and shadow insurance. I can't really do a swatch of those items but at least you can see what a beautiful color the lip gloss is.

The lip gloss reminds me of a NARS orgasm color but with a nicer smell.

What are your thoughts on this set? It was very affordable at only $42 and I purchased it with my Sephora VIB discount so I think I got a pretty good deal:) Any Christmas make up lemmings--I have a few more but I guess I will just have to wait and see what Santa brings me this week.

New E.L.F. LE Eyeshadow Palettes

So I am on this trip of trying out E.L.F. products along with using my daily higher end products as well. Kind of like mixing Couture and Target in fashion..lol I just saw on their website that they are launching 2 new LE Eyeshadow Palettes. One that contains 32 eye shadows for $5.00 and the other that contains 100 eye shadows for $15.00. I think these are both great deals and will make great holiday presents. I am very eager to try them out but I think I will start small with the 32 eye shadow palette. I mean for $5 I don't think you can go wrong. That is cheaper then a sandwich for lunch:) They also include a double sided mirror along with an eye shadow applicator. Below are the pictures of the two different palettes. Which one do you think you will try?

Loads of pretty colors in each one. I can't wait to try, swatch, and review.

My E.L.F. and NYX Labor Day Haul

I made a small E.L.F. haul this past week because I had a 50% of Studio coupon so the whole thing only cost me around $15. Considering 1 MAC lipstick is $14 I though this was a pretty good deal...lol

I these are pretty good dupes for NARS blushes if you don't want to spend a lot of money.

Top Row L-R: Mellow Mauve, Peachy Keen, Blushing Rose, Tickled Pink

Bottom Row-L-R: Pink Passion, Berry Merry, Fuchsia Fusion, Candid Coral

Below are swatches of the blushes in the order of above. The first hand (left) is the top row from L-R and the second hand (right) is the bottom row L-R.

These are my 2 favorite brushes from E.L.F. too. The complexion brush is sooo soft and I think it only costs $3. The other one I use for my bronzer and it costs $1.

From NYX, I just got a blush, eyeshadow and lipstick.

The blush is Desert Rose, the eyeshadow is Daisy, and the lipstick is Pumpkin Pie. Below are swatches of the blush, eyeshadow and lipstick.

Let me know what you all think!!!
