Colour me nude

Happy monday everyone!! Today I want to share with you two new things I got. Have you heard about M.A.C 's Faerie Whispers collection? This is one of the promotional images. I got excited as soon as I saw the first pictures: girly, delicate and mysterious. When I saw images of the products, I was a little aprehensive. I don't usually wear such pale and neutral colours, but guess what? I got myself two lipsticks!  Don't be fooled by the "cremesheen", they have a great colour! The darker, mocca-like lipstick is Among the fireflies. The caramel one is Midsummer Night . The images and swatches I saw online made Among the fireflies look more like a nude of a pink shade and I had my mind set on getting it. It turned out to be more brown, very 90's but, strangely enough, I liked it. Midsummer Night was a suprise and I ended up bring both with me home.

Two more items from the Toledo edition for M.A.C have found their way to my place. This has to be one of my favourite collaborations: the colours, textures, packaging... Everything is gorgeous! Today I want to talk about Victoriana but you'll also see Venus Red in the pictures ( but no swatches, that review will come later, maybe). A gloss and a nailpolish. Both red. Victoriana has a darker edge to its colour, fading into a cherry-like colour after a few hours. I honestly see no down sides to this product: it has a thicker texture than other glosses I've tried, so it does not smuge. The sticky feeling is fine, nothing to say here. What I liked, aside from the colour - so beautiful - was the effect on the lips. I have thick lips, no need to wear products to make them look bigger, but this gloss made them look so plumped and pretty.  Again, no smudging, no risk of looking like a clown! ;) I'm becoming a fan of these glosses, well done M.A.C! *thumbsup* XOXO, M
