Burmese Beauty

After being quite happy with Palace Pedigreed, I got the Burmese Beauty quad like I said in my update, and now I feel like, this collection is probably not as great as I thought it was. Don't get me wrong, the colours are still great, muted, sophisticated Fall trend colours, but something about this collection seems a little off to me. The Burmese Beauty quad is very very easily dupable, and I don't understand AT ALL why MAC put Club in this quad and named it Burmese Beauty. I mean, are they not capable to be unique for a quad in a new collection? I think not. I think MAC is perfectly capable to create a new colour in the mood of Fall. Perhaps a more olive green shadow would help? Some may say, oh it is different from Club, Club is dark and Burmese Beauty is sparklier, but to me, they are the same, even the red undertone of the brown is the same in the two shadows. Sure Burmese Beauty has some gold sparkles instead of just the green sheen from Club, but Burmese Beauty is a luster finish, and Club is a veluxe pearl finish. Burmese Beauty SHOULD be sparklier, infact, it's not even sparkly enough to be a lustre. To me Club is a better, more pigmented, more smooth shadow than Burmese Beauty. The colour Skintone 2 is just a neutral yellow gold, which is not very pigmented to start with, WHICH may not show up on yellow skin tones. The Showstopper colour is just a dark dark brown, which has been repromoted many times. I like this quad, but I am also very disappointed. I like it for the convenience, and the look I create with it is very sultry and pretty, like a neutral with a subtle hint of something different. But at the same time, I think MAC could have done better.

Here it is, enjoy =)

Palace Pedigreed Look

So I did this look using my Palace Pedigreed palette from MAC. I love it so much, I plan to go get the Leopard Luxe one as well now.
I only used 3 colours from the quad, the lightest shade "Courtly" as a base, light purple pink colour "Quite Spoiled" all over my lid, and the dark plummy purple "Palace Pedigreed" above my lash line. Since I have Asian eyes, this method is better than the one with a dark crease, since that one may look a little unnatural on Asian eyes with no crease. I did not use the teal gray in the palette because it is not what I prefer for day time wear. 


Picture is slightly lighter than in real life. My skin tone is perfect match here, just the shadow colour appears to be little subtler than real life.


Hope you enjoy.

MAC Fall 2010

MAC just recently came out with the gorgeous fall collection Fabulous Felines, which comes with three sets, Palace Pedigreed, Leopard Luxe, and Burmese Beauty. I was very anticipating the Disney collection, (I'm such a Disney fan!!! Didn't you know? OMG Disney princess stories are like, my soul. Life would be so perfect if the world is like, Disney world.........Dear God why am I not a princess..........) ANYWAYS, I was anticipating the Disney collection so I almost passed on this one. I didn't pay attention to it until it hit the store, and I went "Oh there's another collection before the Disney one?"

Anyway, I didn't get much because I am busy saving for the Disney collection, but I did get one of the quads and a blush because they looked so gorgeous I was almost blinded.

Here is the Palace Pedigreed quad that I got. Packaging is nice and simple, the lid is magnetic which I love because they are more resistant to damage.
