Review; MAC Heatherette Hollywood Nights

This is a gorgeous hot pink Barbie doll shade! Not only is the shade of the lippy cute, the pink and holographic packaging is adorable too! It is a very pure pink, and doesn't have the hint of purple/fuschia that Girl About Town has. It is very bright and pigmented considering it is a satin, and has longevity on the lips.

However I wouldn't wear this without a gloss as it was quite drying and made the lips a little wrinkly (that or it just excentuated lines that were there that I haven't seen before!). I'd say that was the only drawback, the lipstick is pretty much "what you see is what you get" apart from the drying texture.

Review; MAC Trio 1 (LE)

Trio 1 (Heatherette)


OK, I thought I would love this, and in the palette the colours look awesome, especially mood ring. However I dislike the textures even though I like frost and veluxe pearl (Hoppin’ Frost, Mood Ring Veluxe pearl, Cloudburst velvet) I found all these shadows too powdery and not pigmented enough. The pink came up as just invisible powder on my face, the mint green I had to pile on to get it to show up, and the black one was so powdery it went everywhere however the colour was very pigmented. These were so hard to work with that the look just did not come out right. I’ve given up on it, which is a massive shame.
