20 MAC COSMETICS MUST HAVEs

                              
As-Salam-oAlykum...Glam'yees...
Today,I would be taking about my favorites in my favorite brand of makeup i.e MAC cosmetics.
MAC has quite a big range of cosmetics like lipsticks, eye shadows, base, primer, face mist, mascara, foundation etc. That's a lot of makeup, isn't it?
So here are a few things I think everyone should have or at least try.

Tom Ford Lips & Boys Collection Fall 2015

 

As-salam-O-Alykum...Glam'Yees...

Lips & Boys, the wildly popular 25-shade lipstick collection Tom Ford released late last year, will return this fall with 25 frosty new colors named after every Stavros, Pablo, Alexander, and John in your life. Fans of the original 25 Boys will be happy to know that their favorite shades plus all the new colors will come together in a 50-shade set, available on Black Friday for the not very typical Black Friday price of $1,950. ​With 103 days until November 27th, if you put away just $18.93 a day, you'll have the full amount just in time—because why have one Boy when you can have 50? (Though, for the record, you can totally buy just one of the silky, moisturizing lipsticks from the collection instead of the full set, at $35 a pop.)

Availability

International Launch Date – November 2015 (Black Friday)

The diversity and color range and looking closer to those plum, violet and eggplant shades this lipstick collection is surely addressed even to those who like to be nonconformist women who like to wear a more distinctive color on their lips.

Until next time

Stay Gorgeous,

MAC Giambattista Valli Collection Review and Swatches

As-salam-O-Alykum...Glam'Yees...
If you follow me on Instagram, you have already seen my MAC recent haul of their Giambattista Valli Collection.
The MAC Giambattista Valli Collection is the most gorgeous, beautiful, breathtaking MAC collection I have ever seen in my life.
               


MAC has collaborated with the couture fashion designer Giambattista Valli, and it couldn't be more perfect. If you've ever seen any of his runway photos/shows, you could see that a lot of his work has to do with floral prints and bright pops of fun colors. Wonderful works of art. Enough chatting, time to indulge in the most glorious of photos.

 I would like to first point out that this is probably the prettiest and classiest box packaging that MAC has come up with.  I think that the packaging of this collection is perfect. Its simple but showing off the color. I know a ton of people who have to dig through all of their mac lips just to find the shade they are looking for and with this, it's super easy because the packaging is the color of the shade.



Just looking at the box, I already knew it was going to be classy colors but at the same time a little daring.What caught my attention, like many of you, was the product packaging. Each lipstick is encased in the signature MAC dome-shaped lid and sleek plastic tube, colored according to the lipstick shade. How absolutely gorgeous. now on to the swatches.


BIANCA


Bianca B, a Matte pale white pink.Its described as a “pale white pink”. It is truly a very pale pink with a strong white undertone. which would definitely wash anyone out unless you have really fair, porcelain complexion.. like, white paper. It kinda reminded me of Happy Hibiscus

MARGHERITA



Margherita is a yellow bright peach with Matte finish I love the color. Its such a beautiful soft orange. This is definitely a color you want to help you stand out. This shade is brighter than I had anticipated but luckily it doesn’t pop too much. Margherita leans more towards nude than orange.

TATS


Tats is a bright hot pink in Matte finish This color Pink should be everyone's go to color. Its such a great shade for any skin color. It has great color payoff with a single stroke and a smooth consistency which covered the lips evenly. Although it’s matte, it is actually quite creamy and not drying at all.

CHARLOTTE


Charlotte is a rich yellow red with Matte finish.You absolutely cannot go wrong with this red. I truly believe that this red was designed with all skin types in mind.This one is described as a “rich yellow red”. It’s a medium-dark red with subtle, cool undertones and a mostly matte finish but definitely had some moisture. It had good color payoff that covered the lips evenly and smoothly.This classic red looks very similar to numerous other reds churned out by MAC, but it stands out from the pack with its creamy Matte finish.

EUGEINE


Eugenie is a dark cherry with blue undertone.It is described as a “dark cherry with blue undertone”. It is a deep, purple wine color with cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. Perfect for a vampy look!
Its more semi-opaque than matte because the natural color of my lips was still able to show through the many layers of the lipstick.

CRYSTAL GLAZE LENA
           
I’m really glad that MAC chose to release a Crystal Glaze Gloss with this collection. It not only adds a touch of fabulousness by transforming the matte finish to a glossy finish, but it also provides moisture for your lips. It has a unique pearlescent finish and can be worn over the lipsticks or alone.The gloss is so amazing. I thought that because it was in a pot that it wasn't going to be like the usual formula that I love. But it is exactly the same. It goes on so smoothly and my lips always feel great.

I'll try to keep the words to a minimum, because the pictures really say all there is to say for this collection. Absolute perfection.With just five lipsticks and a gloss, this collection is guaranteed to be affordable for everyone especially the hoarders *raises hand*.
