Coming March 5th will be the MAC Cinderella collection. I have to say that I missed out on the MAC Maleficent collection because I hadn’t seen the movie, but not so with this one.
If you’re looking for a way to add some pretty glitter into your makeup look, then this is a collection you’ll want to check out. Be warned though: glitter needs to be added to one aspect of your makeup, not every part of your makeup!
One of my favourite new products from this collection is the eye gloss. It’s a new product for MAC and ties into the whole “light” theme that is so big for spring. If you’re old enough, you’ll remember that Club Monaco used to have an eye grease/gloss product in the ’90’s. It’s something that I always wanted to own, but never bought because I knew that anything greasy would just crease on my eyelids – this is clearly before the debut of the eyelid primer.
But these glosses are different. They are super sticky like a MAC Lipglass, and thicker too. All you really need to do is pat your finger into the gloss and apply sparingly to the lid. Because they’re so sticky, you won’t want to apply a lot because it’s just going to make it uncomfortable to wear, but if you apply the gloss just right, it’s actually a very wearable iridescent shimmer that’s perfect for a special event.
The two colours are:
Lightly Tauped, light beige gloss with pearl and Pearl Varnish, white gloss with pearl (that is the one I have above). $27.50 each.
Lipsticks are also in light colours:
Free As A Butterfly semi-sheer golden nude (lustre) /
Royal Ball fleshy pink (lustre) / SRP $17.50 US / $21.00 CAD
Lipglass is:
Happily Ever After cool milky pink with bluish pearl /
Glass Slipper light milky pink with pinkish pear /
SRP $16.50 US / $20.00 CAD
The eyeshadow palette contains 6 shadows in the following shades:
Phloof! frosted off-white (frost) / Quarry soft muted plum-brown (matte) / Omega soft muted beige-taupe (matte) /
Vapour peach-pink with violet pearl (velvet) /
Stroke of Midnight (black plum with sparkle pearl) (velvet) /Sat in Taupe (taupe with silver shimmer) (frost) /
SRP $44.00 US / $53.00 CAD
Remember when I said not to overdo the glitter. Check out Reflects Pearl which is a fine white glitter. Either use the eye gloss or the glitter, but not both.
There’s also Pigment in Evil Stepmother (black plum with plum pearl) and Pretty It Up (olive with pearlized pigments) (SRP $24.00 US / $29.00 CA).
The Beauty Powder in Mystery Princess is a pretty peach shade with tons of shimmer in it. It’s best for special occasions just because it’s so shimmery.
There’s also an Iridescent Pressed Powder in Coupe D’Chic which is a light golden peach with gold shimmer (SRP $28.00 US / $33.00 CAD).
The Studio Fix Lash mascara in BoldBlack is amazing and maybe the best MAC mascara I’ve ever tried.
It separates lashes because the bristles are spaced apart and are stiff enough to get in between clumps. It layers well, looks great, and doesn’t flake either. (SRP $19.00 US / $22.00 CAD).
The collection is definitely something different and one of the best from MAC so far this year.
It’s available March 5th at MAC counters.
