Mac Me Over Haul

Hey Guys,

I have decided to show you the goodies I purchased from the Mac Me Over Collection :)

First Item I would like to show you is the Lady Grey quad.

This is, in my opinion the 2nd best quad MAC has ever released (the smoke signals being first!!)

The colors are as follows: - All Races (matte) - Tendersmoke (frost)
                                      -Lady Grey (satin)  - Hazy Day (Veluxe Pearl)

This quad is capable of creating an eye without using any other shadows which I find really helpful in the mornings. So far I have been using All races on the first 2/3's of the lid and Tendersmoke in the crease.

Next, I only purchased one fluid line from this collection as I already owned Dark Diversion and the other two colors did not really appeal to me.
This color, I find to go really well to line the upper lids with when using the previous collection (Semi-Precious) Mineralize eyeshadow in Faux Gold, in fact any golden color would look lovely with this!

The blush I purchased from the collection is Stunner, This blush has a satin finish on my NW35 skin tone, this color is quite subtle which some people may not like but I find it good for a "no makeup look" with a little highlight above. Very pretty for spring also.

Next up we have a cream color base in Seaside.
Seaside has a frost finish. I don't know why I really purchased this as I have Hush CCB and find them very similar, however it is a really pretty color.

On to the eye shadows, Here we have Carbonzied.
Carbonized is a Veluxe pearl finish (which seems to be the most popular) The color is quite original compared to anything in the permanent line. It looks great on the edges of the eye with my Lady grey combination quad just to dress up for evenings.

Here we  have Creamy Bisque (frost finish)

I purchased creamy bisque as I wanted (another) color that could help me achieve a Jerseylicious eye :)

In my opinion that is to have a really light color on the lid and an extreme black in the crease. Will let you know how that goes for me :)

Last of the eye shadows is Moleskin. (Matte formula)
Moleskin, I believe should work well to blend out harsh crease colors as it does not sway too orange as many of the lighter brown matte colors do.

Next up we have just one lipglass (Can't believe my self control!!)

The lipglass is in color Curvaceous, this is a real Kim Kardashian color goes well with a dark smokey eye.

The mailman came just as I was writing this post with my 226 brush, this brush is a re promote and is supposed to be the Holy grail of all things blending!! I will let you know what I think

Fake Versus Authentic Mac Eyeshadows

Hey Guys first Post please pass on any feedback you may have :)

I understand we all want a bargain and in Australia MAC is very expensive! we pay $33 per eyeshadow from counters.
I'm hoping this review will be helpful to some and help you all save money and get a fair, legitamate product.

I think it is a good idea for a new MAC eyeshadow buyer to purchase their first eyeshadow from the counter, this way you have a definate authentic to compare with. I also keep all my MAC boxes (a whole cupboard full) so that if I am every wary of a product i have plenty of legitimate packaging to compare!

FAKE VERSUS AUTHENTIC
The Box
*The box will have a sticker on the top lip with the name (the real have name only NO NUMBERS!!)

*The front will say EYE SHADOW FARD A' PAUPIERES above the round cut out and NET WT./POIDS NET 1.5G/.05 US OZ E on the bottom front. WATCH FOR CORRECT SPELLING

*There will be a barcode on the bottom with  a serial number below and above will have a 3 digit code i.e - A99

*The back of the box will have text on the bottom LHS

The eyeshadow

*The box will be matte not shiny! with MAC written on it the dots between ma and ac will be small!

*Inside the eyeshadow will sit in from the lid (the fakes sometimes are raised)

-*The clasp will be on the base (fakes are commonly on the lid)

*The lid will be flush, not raised!

*the sticker on the base will contain  the name and the finish i.e - veluxe pearl, frost, matte etc, all this will be in white

*The same 3 digit number (i.e A99 as mentioned) will be in black on the back

Please feel free to send me any photos or questions you may have and I would be happy to assist.
