I first heard about MAC's Love Lace Collection a couple of months ago and once I saw the photos and swatches on various blogs etc I knew what I wanted and that the new collection would be released in the UK some time in January ... well it was ... last week! I was becoming a bit obsessed as I kept checking MAC online every day and then I stumbled on it last week and got stupidly excited - it was like Christmas all over again. As I already knew what I wanted placed my order for ...
MAC Feline Kohl Pencil (Black Pencil Eyeliner) - soft, smooth and very black
MAC Light Affair Nail Polish (Nude/Beigee/Taupe/Grey coloured) I love, love, love!
MAC Hypnotized Eye Shadow - (Brown/Shimmer/Taupe/hint of purple) So lovely and reminds me a little of my daily favourite Satin Taupe!
DHL delivered my parcel after much delay (due to the snowy conditions - adverse weather!) ... was it worth the wait??? ...
MAC Feline Kohl Pencil (£12.00)- I have been after this pencil ever since acquiring Smolder Kohl Pencil - just from reading reviews etc. After I first tried Smolder Kohl Pencil I was absolutely amazed at it's high pigmentation and the fact that it would stay on my waterline ... forver! I had heard great reviews about Feline also and so naturally I wanted to buy Feline! Bringing my total MAC Kohl Pencils to 2 now! On reviewing the Feline Pencil it looks identical to Smolder and upon testing I discovered it to be very similar to Smolder also, very rich pigmentation - a real true rich black, it does stay in my waterline although I am not sure yet whether it lasts longer on me than Smolder. It stays in place well on my lower lash line also. Overall I am very pleased with Feline and along with Smolder these are both two black eyeliners that are the best I have ever used by a long shot!
MAC Light Affair Nail Polish (£8.00)- From the Love Lace Collection this was by far my MOST WANTED and I just had to have it. It is such a lovely neutral shade and I have never seen one quite like it! The colour is very strange and I could describe it in 4 colours - Beige, Nude, Taupe, Grey (all in one!). I absolutely could not wait to try this out and I can confirm that it lived up to my expectations and some more! I am wearing it now! I put 3 coats of the polish on although I do believe 2 may have been enough but I just thought 3 coats would look better. The container looked really small to me but it does contain 10ml and so no smaller than an average polish. Overall I am super impressed with this nail varnish and have already got my cousin on the case to buy another! As it is a limited edition shade I am going to get another whilst I still can! I have a feeling this nail polish is going to be used and abused! Total MAC Nail Varnishes = 1 (so far)!
MAC Hypnotized Eye Shadow (£11.00) - Limited Edition. This Shade is stunning, it isn't as dark as what I was hoping when swatched but nevertheless a truly gorgeous eye shadow. I use Satin Taupe by MAC on a daily basis as my usual eye shadow and Hypnotized to me looks very similar - it looks quite a bit browner with a hint of purple and that is the only difference to me. I wore this eye shadow today and even on I didn't feel like I looked much different than if I had Satin Taupe on, I think the beauty of Hypnotized is if you were to pack it on the colour would build up more intense and so I will probably save this one for an evening look. This is a beautiful eye shadow and I am very pleased that this is a new addition to my collection ... total MAC eye shadows = 5!
Well ... what a long blog/review! Hope you enjoy and any questions please ask and leave any comments! Thanks Zoe
