\"MACPlayland10\"<\/a>
\nPlayful Pinks, Hot Oranges and Bright Corals, the theme of MAC’s 2014 Spring\/Summer collection Playland<\/strong>, a funtastical wonderland where Spring becomes a fabulous whirlwind of creativity and amusement. With bright pastels and funky neons MAC decided to throw some color into the world of makeup this Summer.<\/p>\n

I received two items from Playland<\/strong>, and put them to the test! Gotten curious? Click for more!<\/p>\n

\"MACPlayland12\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As soon as I saw the promo-images for this new collection I knew I was going to fall in love with it. I mean come on, just look at the image above. However, am I the only one not understanding why the girl in the back is wearing neon Green eyes, while this collection doesn’t carry anything neon Green? Isn’t that promo-image-standard number one? Anything makeup-wise that’s on the promo shot, should be available for purchase, right?<\/p>\n

I received two items from Playland<\/em>. The lipstick in Sweet Experience<\/strong> and lipglass in Live it Up<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"MACPlayland02\"<\/a> \"MACPlayland03\"<\/a> \"MACPlayland04\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First up, Sweet Experience<\/strong> lipstick:<\/p>\n

\"MACPlayland05\"<\/a> \"MACPlayland09\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sweet Experience<\/strong> is best described as a milky, vibrant Pink with Yellow undertones. It’s super opaque and a little bit will go a long way. It’s very creamy and easy to work with. I didn’t find it to be drying nor hydrating. It just sits on your lips, being pretty. I got around 4 hours of wear out of this.<\/p>\n

Next, Live it Up<\/strong> lipglass:<\/p>\n

\"MACPlayland06\"<\/a>\"MACPlayland07\"<\/a>\"MACPlayland08\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Live it Up<\/strong> would be best described as a milky Orange with Peach undertones. It’s actually quite opaque for a lipgloss. It’s easy to work with but tends to streak a little, so make sure to distribute product evenly. It’s a MAC lipglass meaning its sticky-factor<\/em> is hella high. But trust me, you’ll get used to it eventually. Because of the stickiness it did stay put for a while, I got around 3-4 hours of wear out of this. I didn’t find the gloss to be drying nor hydrating.<\/p>\n

When I was swatching these I got a little carried away and decided to play a little. I came up with this, what I’d like to call, Summer Ombre Dreams <\/em>look. I applied Sweet Experience<\/strong> to my top lip and gradually let it fade into Live it Up<\/strong> lipglass on the bottom.<\/p>\n

\"MACPlayland01\"<\/a><\/p>\n

THE VERDICT<\/h2>\n

I’m really liking these two. They look awesome on their own, but also really like how they compliment each other. I think I’ll gravitate a lot towards these two in Summer. Both the lipstick and lipglass are super easy to work with and have a heavenly pigmentation. If you like these sweet, sugary shades definitely check these out while you still can!<\/p>\n
