So I continue telling you about MAC.
There are four eye kohls in Reel Sexy (May 2012 ) collection. I can show you two of them:
They are lavender-grey Heirloom and dark blue Hyacinth.
At Miss Piggy collection (on sale in April on site www.mac-cosmetics.ru only ) there is felt-tip pen Penultimate Eye Liner, color – Rapid Black:
I’ve already overcome a period of usung felt-tip pens as eye liners and have moved to the “brush and gel eyeliner in a jar” variant which seems to be smpler and more diverse at once. This felt-tip pen seemes to be uncomfortable because of the tip shape:
At some areas of eyes it’s not an easy thing to use. But the main disadvantage is a tone. True black is promised but practically it becomes brighter when it dries and looks a little bit washed out. And if you apply one more layer, as I do, it can smear a previous one and finally it looks unequally drawn.
On the other hand, some like this very lighter variant because it looks more natural than bright black line. By the way, a really bright black line can be drawn by gel liner in a jar neither. It’s a better task for liquid eyeliners.
And now let’s move to the heroes that have conquered my heart – two lipglosses.
At first, meet Сremesheen Glass lipgloss in Star Quality color (bright orange coral). And it’s Reel Sexy (May) collection again:
Really pleasant color without any sparkles and other things, that translucently wraps lips.
Makeup here has quite diffenent color scheme, so photo is just for fun:
Second lipgloss is different from 90% of color cosmetics that I show you. I really wear it! It’s Kissable Lipcolour from Shop MAC (March-April) collection, color Enchantee.
I’m sure that somewhere I have other Kissable Lipcolours, but they haven’t left any emotions in me. But this one is completely different: I really understand all the advantages of this thing that on the one hand is a lipgloss and on the other hand looks like creme lipstick.
Except for an appropriate color, texture and comfortable wearing (no complaints during the day) I was attracted by complete “laziness” of a product. No need of kohl or foundation, no runnind around mirror. Just spread and go. And it doesn’t look completely like lipgloss.
All in all, I add it to The Very Good Spring Products list that already includes Givenchy spring collection blush, their shades, MAC shades from the previous post (that I surprisingly wear too) and Сlinique BB-creme. It’s really amazing that I use so many new products last moths and they’re not just lying in boxes!
From all the variety of collections that MAC launches in April I have recieced a number of products from each one. And I’ve even managed to make photos of them (so this week I’ll spam you with MAC!).
Despite all the bright colors most of all I liked transparent lip balm with golden glitter from Cook collection. This one:
Lip balm is called Tendertone, color – Tread Gently. There are also orange Purring, cherry Hot ‘ n’ Saucy, golden-beige Hush, Hush at the collection. I would have had them all with a great pleasure 
.
The description says it’s lime and yellow. I can’t see any green modulations, only golden ones:
I don’t know what obsessed me. To be honest I hardly ever find time to test MAC collections. But that time I was taking one product after another from the package and was so happy (and a meanie inside of me was saying “I wont give it to anyone! It’s mine, all mine!” )). And so I’ve found time.
Dynamic Duo Feather Pink/Spellcaster shades are from Reel Sexy collection. It goes on sale in May.
Shades have typically MAC texture – I don’t know how to explain it, but they are taken easily and so… powdery-loose:
Pink and purple – I like these colors but I’ve never tried wearing them myself, I’ve always tended to another range of colors.
Cremeblend Blush, color Florida are from Shop MAC collection, it’s on sale since March till the end of April.
I love creme blush so much!
And the color is definitely mine!
Very bright even after shading:
I’ll show you some here:
I’ll give the blush an excellent mark so far. (I’ve been wearing them not for so long to be absolutely sure)
And the highliter. Officially it’s called Extra Dimension Skinfinish powder Superb color. It’s from In Extra Dimension collection (it’s on sale since April)
Its texture is described as innovative powdery-gel. Sounds like gel powder by Estee Lauder:
I am suspicious about products of this kind. They’re often too dark for us, pale-skinned residents of Russian megapolices, of have a warm midtone that kills everything on our bluish skin. I wasn’t expecting any good from this product too but it turned out to be translucent:
I would say it’s completely invisible. Where are you, light shimmer? )
It’s supposed to be applied with brush, but it’s allright with fingers only.
And here are shades, blush and highlighter together (and pen eyeliner from some April collection too):
There is Tendertone lip balm I already mentioned on my lips.
It seems like I shaded the highlighter to complete disappearence everywhrere except nose.
All in all, I like the shades, I really like the blush. Speaking about highlighter, I already have one irreplaceable thing of this kind by Urban Decay, so we’ll see.
MAC is planning to have great holidays – and we too together with all that staff! =)

We are used to big collections from MAC – but now it will be different. Only 3 palettes.
Inspiration for these palettes were great artists and some trends in modern art.
