6 Twists Of Tartan: MAC A Tartan Tale

6 twists of tartan, mac a tartan tale

$36 for 6 silky, vibrant MAC eyeshadows? What a steal! If any one eye shadow compact fully embodies the spirit of MAC A Tartan Tale, it would be 6 Twists Of Tartan, filled with kilt-inspired shades.

Ordinarily, combining bold eyeshadow shades such as these would scare me off. However, the color payoff frome this palette is a bit less intense than I expected. This makes these bold colors infinitely more wearable. The shades are soft… like a watercolor painting!

Tarte The Jewelry Box Palette

tarte the jewelry box palette, holiday 2010 I mentioned Tarte The Jewelry Box Palette as a great gift idea for holiday 2010, and just wanted to reiterate the fact that I LOVE this makeup palette, and think it is THE makeup gift to give this season!

Firstly, the palette is filled with 32 full-sized silky tarte eyeshadows. Worried about dupes? Don’t be! These shadows are limited-edition, and exclusive to the palette!

Tarte’s beloved bronzer, Park Ave. Princess, is in the house… coupled with a shimmery highlighter. Eight creamy glosses and five eye pencils make this a makeup artists dream…

Bonus: The top of the palette’s case has a removeable necklace!

Retail price is $52. Keep scrolling down for some exclusive close-up photos of The Jewelry Box Palette!

Black Swan And Undercurrent Swatches

Black Swan and Undercurrent (swatches below) are two shades of Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner from the MAC A Tartan Tale limited-edition holiday 2010 collection. Pearlglide Intense Eyeliner is super-smudgy, and delivers rich vibrant color that wears for eternities. These sexy shades have such an edgy rock-n-roll vibe! After living through the 80s once, I never dreamed I’d be wearing deep shimmering teal shades like Undercurrent (on right), but I seriously can’t resist this deep greenish blue. Do take the plunge (pardon the pun), if you’re feeling daring this season! Black Swan is a true black with a metallic shimmer, a true crowd pleaser!
