MAC Style Warriors--Some Info

This collection comes out on 5/28/09, and here's some interesting new info on this collection!

The ''Style Warriors'' collection is an animal print based collection. It includes animal print bags with leopard, zebra and tiger prints. The usual packaging on products will be animal printed too. Here are a few of the products; this is not a color story, only some hints.

Eyeshadows
Night Maneuvers
Vibrant Grape (permanent pro)
Tempting ( seems to be permanent repromote)
Bright Future
Soft Force

Blushes
Eversun ( that used to be a beauty powder blush, so it is a repromote. )
On a Mission

Bronzing Powders
Refined Golden
Solar Riche

( Those bronzers are M.A.C. Classics - they were on the ''Neo Sci - Fi collection'' too. )


Credit goes out to Champnprincess @ Makeupalley. Thanks!

While I already have Solar Riche and Eversun, Vibrant Grape eyeshadow looks cool! I can't wait!

MAC Chill Collection is on the site!!



I found the promo absolutely stunning, but none of the collection excites me--except maybe the permanent pen liner. I have dupes and warm skin, so alot of it probably won't work that well for me.

What are you planning to haul?

Some Nail Polish! OPI Monsooner Or Later, from the India Collection



Hi all! I haven't been really focusing on the other part of fashion I love--nail polish!! This is a gorgeous shade perfect for summer, a great red-orange. Released Spring 2008 in the India Collection, it's a real winner. It's different from all my reds! However, for those shy of brights this is not for you! It's loud and obnoxious and begs to be noticed! (Perfect for me hehe!) Sorry for the foot pics too, but it's great as a pedi.





The shoes are Burberry wedges by the way, got them at an amazing sale! Very Naughtical no?

Shu Uemura 25th Birthday Collection Swatches & Review



Fleur de Rose:

This is the one I got, a lovely neutral palette punched up with pinks! Lovely texture , and shu eyeshadows are the only ones that last the day on me without a base. Also love the packaging and the fact that you can take the black insert out and fill it with depotted shu! Oh, and the two dark dots are the shimmer liquid eyeliners. Stay AWAY from their eyeliners! Even the SA was grumbling about them, saying 'Why do they dry up so fast? Oh no, it dispensed too much!'

Fleur De Terre:

An interesting palette, I can see some pulling off the pink and green together (which were a bit chalky and a satin finish). Not for everyone though.

Fleur De Source:

I was also going to get this one, but the only colors I really liked were the chocolate brown and lime green. I'm off to look for dupes!

Each of these palettes retail for a hefty 65$, but if you look at it this way, you get 7 shadows for it! Divide 65 by 7 and it's 9USD! A steal! Even though they aren't full size except for the eye highlighter (the very last one on the right), you're never going to use them up! Pick them up now!

RMK Shiny Mix Eyes and Cheeks Swatches





Available till August! I had wanted to get both 01 blush, 01 eyeshadow and 04 eyeshadow, but the blush was too sheer and 04 was OOS. So I only ended up getting 01 eyeshadow, a beautiful light minty green. A great collection from RMK, and I'm so happy that it wasn't Spring only, but available for a long period of time. Good on you Rumiko!
