\"\"<\/a>
\nA couple of days ago I recieved an awesome package in the mail. In it, was the new M.A.C ”Gareth Pugh” Collection.
\nNot all of it ofcourse, just a couple samples. Four products of the new line, totally inspired by designer Gareth Pugh.
\nI’ve been eyeballing the promo photos for a while now, and today I finally was able to test the products out.<\/p>\n


\n\"\"
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nFirst off, the packaging. This is what will make people buy this collection the most.
\nM.A.C completely changed their\u00a0regular packaging by making all the pots square-shaped (instead of the regular\u00a0round).
\nAlso the boxes are phenomenal. Silver and Black shapes, Gareth Pugh style! – I like!<\/p>\n

Side Note:<\/span>\u00a0Remember that you do pay more, thanks to this oh-so-cool packaging.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nNow, one downside\u00a0to this Gareth Pugh packaging\u00a0is\u00a0it’s weight. These eyeshadows and blushes are heavy!
\nAnd that’s all because the eyeshadows and blushes\u00a0carry a mirror inside of them.
\nSo this might be a big like to some, but a dislike to others. – I personally think it makes the packaging even chiq-er,
\nbut sort of unnecessary. This all depends on your own opinions.<\/p>\n

Now, let’s go on to the actual products :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nMetal-X Cream Shadow ”Obscura”\u00a0 – Frosty Gunmetal Grey<\/em> – \u20ac33,00<\/strong>
\nThis is the real deal, you guys! Oh my God.. This is GORGEOUS in real life.\u00a0
\nI’d describe it as\u00a0a deep, dark metal grey with violet\/purple and silver\u00a0shimmer in it.\u00a0
\nThis is called a cream shadow, but I’m not sure of that..
\nThey do go on like butter, and it’s pigmented as hell, but it didn’t feel th\u00e1t creamy to me?
\nCream or not, I love, love, love\u00a0this!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nPowder Blush ”Strada” – Mid-Tone Nude<\/em> – \u20ac30,00<\/strong>
\nThis blush confuses me. It’s not really what you call a ”blush-blush”
\nThe color is just as M.A.C describes it: A mid-tone nude. I think this is perfect for us light girls as a really light contour shade.
\nBut I don’t see more tanned girls wearing this? – Other than that, the texture of the blush is perfect and soft.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nPigment ”Guise” – Frosty Grey<\/em> – \u20ac33,00<\/strong>
\nAnother like! This is perfection. Your go-to silver\/grey, full-on, SHINY Silver Pigment.
\nAwesome for the inner corners of your eye to fully open them up, or on the lid for some glamour.
\nThis is just a beautiful pigment, that everyone should have in their collection.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nLipglass ”Outrage” – Sheer Berry with Blue Pearl<\/em> – \u20ac25,50<\/strong>
\nNow when I opened my package, and saw this, you can pretty imagine much my face already.
\nI was SHOCKED! Such an original, booming, bamming, color!
\nIt has this awesome blue, moss-green duochrome to a beautiful deep berry color.
\nBut then I swatched it… And it really is ”sheer”.. Aww, M.A.C I wish you just made this opaque :(<\/p>\n

Overall, the products that I got from this collection have\u00a0their ups and downs.
\nWhere the awesome duochrome lipglass let’s down, And the\u00a0eye products\u00a0give a highlight to your day.
\nThis is a good collection with\u00a0some flaws but with BEAUTIFUL packaging.<\/p>\n

Favorites:
