I, like many of you, follow Temptalia to get the scoop on new collections coming out. I'm amazed at her work ethic on the site. I know I couldn't and wouldn't keep up such a blog, it's just too much...or rather I'm too lazy. I was very excited to see that she got the chance to work with MAC and create her own color along with a few other bloggers. I knew she would make something eye-catching and just had to pick it up when I saw the final product. Luckily, I'm addicted to my phone so I jumped as soon as the Twitter announcement went out that it was on the MAC site. Pays to be on your phone 24/7 LOL
I picked up Christine's (Temptalia) shadow Jealousy Wakes and Hocus Pocus by Lianne (The Makeup Girl)
Although they are different finishes they both appear similar in sparkliness LOL Sure not the professional way to describe it but we all understand, right?
Hocus Pocus is a nice smokey gray Satin finish. Doesn't it remind you of the perfect gray shirt? Maybe it's just me.
Jealousy Wakes is a jewel-tone green Veluxe Pearl Finish. It just calls to you, doesn't it.
Looks were a bit deceiving in the pan, I was scared that it was going to be too shimmery. Both, when applied are nicely pigmented and definitley not overboard on the shimmer! Hocus Pocus did apply a bit darker than I'd hoped it was going to but it's still a fine color. Jealousy Wakes reminds me of a green NARS shadow when applied. I'll have to take the time to compare them in the future.
I actually hesitated to make this post since these are both sold out on the MAC site. What fun is it to tell you about something you can't get ahold of? If you follow Temptalia's twitter she mentioned that MAC is going to try and do another production of these colors so it may be in your future yet!
On a personal note, I know I've been gone for a couple of weeks but I may be MIA again for a few more. We're dealing with some very personal family issues right now involving my mom and her well-being is more important than any amount of makeup in the world. If I feel up to it, I will definitely try to update, but between this and my potential move sometime next month (which means I'll be packing my makeup & polish here soon) I don't want you all to expect too much. Thanks for understanding and please push any good vibes our way, this is a situation I never would have imagined I'd be faced with...See you all soon..who knows, I might be able to post regularly to keep my mind off things.
