Review: MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme in Positively Dashing!

positively dashing pro longwear lipcreme review test

I’ve long been a fan of MAC Lipcreme. Unlike some long-wearing lipsticks, this formula applies smoothly and feels so emollient! A recent trip to the desert gave me the perfect opportunity to put one of the latest shades of MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme to the ultimate test. I bravely applied Positively Dashing (photo above), a mid-tone dusty pink shade (very ladylike!). After sipping a coffee in the terminal, and multiple drinks in-flight, I was amazed at how gorgeous the color looked in the miniscule mirror of the lavatory (seriously, I think my compact was larger).

I will admit, I was originally scared of the Evil Eye Shadow Quad from MAC. Part of the MAC Me Over collection, the shades in this palette seemed way too dark for ordinary Mommy day-wear. I simply couldn’t imagine how an eyeshadow palette this dark would translate. The good news for we soccer mom types is the palette mixes two higher-pigment shades (Moody and Palace Pedigreed) with two lower-pigment shades (Spellcaster and Evil Eye) that have more of a soft, watercolor appearance. As a result, MAC’s Evil Eye Shadow x4 CAN actually work during the day providing you make use of the sheerer shades for some balance. [Read more…] about MAC Evil Eye Shadow x4

I’ve been dying to sample Violent Lips product for quite some time. After all, how else can a makeup commoner like me achieve an intricate lip-look like the sparkling red lips above? Once I got these glitterly lip appliques in house, I was still too nervous to try them out! I took one look at the oversized product with trim lines drawn on the back, and got arctic-cold feet. It seemed way too complicated!

Poppy King and Supercalifragilipstick!

It has been quite a while since I’ve written about the fabulous Poppy King, and her equally fab line of lip makeup Lipstick Queen. I’ve been eyeballing Kate Spade’s recently launched line of Supercalifragilipstick lipsticks, unsure of why exactly they keep catching my eye. That’s when I found out… Kate Spade’s new lipstick line is a collaboration between Kate and Poppy King! There’s simply something about Poppy’s style that always catches my attention, and her product is second-to-none, so one can only hope Kate Spade has also embraced Poppy’s

Currently, the online selection is just some classics: Pop Art Pink, Bashful Blush, Fuchsia Fete and Adventurous. Also offered by the brand are super cute makeup bags featuring swatches of all of the lipstick shades. I guess if you’d like to dabble in them, you’ll need to find a boutique near you!
