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*.
