MAC COOL HEAT COLLECTION

 Well I just ordered several items from the M.A.C Cool Heat collection today. I am really excited about these colors, especially the eyeshadows. With Summer right around the corner I think these colors and a good tan will go quite nicely together. That is if the pictures from the M.A.C website are spot on. If not, then once my order arrives I'll let you know what I really think.

MAC SOLAR BITS & NEO SCI- FI COLLECTION

Today I am reviewing the Solar Bits and some of the Neo Sci-Fi Collection.

Let's start with the Solar Bits - When I first saw the photos of the Solar Bits I was really excited. The colors looked as though they would compliment any skin tone, especially if you have a nice tan. So I purchased all four of them.

Once I was home, I was able to test out the products and I was pleasantly surprised by how brilliant the colors were. The promo pics and online photos that were posted all over the internet did not do these products justice. However it wasn't long before my good mood turned sour. When I tried opening the product, I knew I had to be extremely careful because other reviewers had already mentioned how extremely messy the Solar bits could be, even more so than the pigments, they managed to make quite a mess.

Now, I thought I would try using the Solar Bits on my eyes. Big mistake! Huge! Nowhere does it say that you need to crush the Solar Bits before applying them to your eyes. The website only suggests that you crush them for more brilliant color but that is all. Needless to say, you can guess what happened next. My eyes started to get red and swelled up due to the irritation. So back to the store I went and I returned them all. In my opinion the Solar Bits were a BIG Disappointment of the YEAR!

On to the eye shadows...
I purchased all of the eye shadows in this collection except for Expensive Pink. I had purchased it from a previous collection so I was able to save a little bit of money this time. THANK GOD!!!



Now I probably won't depot the eye shadows because they are packaged in a brightly colored orange pot that is so unique looking. I really love it! And I must say the shadows are highly pigmented and had great color pay-off. So the shadows more than made up for the disappointment that I experienced with the solar bits.

MY LOVE AFFAIR OF ALL THINGS M.A.C

My passion for cosmetics first began when I was 12 years old. I would spend the summers with my Aunts and beg them incessantly for a makeover. The splash of color on my face made me feel as though I was a different person. Someone who was worldly with an air of sophistication and unparalleled style. And even though many years have passed since that time, the applying and blending of color still invokes in me a passion that has not dissipated with time.

Over the years I have tried many brands of cosmetics. Brands such as L'Oreal, Cover Girl, Maybelline, Clinique, Estee Lauder, Stila, Lancome, the list goes on. Then in December of last year I tried my first M.A.C product. From the moment the M.A.C foundation touched my skin with its velvety softness I was hooked. Only it wasn't one product that sold me on this brand; it was the whole package.

The first time I visited a M.A.C location the Make-Up Artists took the time to get to know me. To understand my style and what works best for me. They treated me as an equal and not as someone who is just another customer. And when it comes to selling me their products, the Make-Up artists would much rather see me happy and fully satisfied than to try and sell me something that I am not going to need or want. And if I ask about a product they always offer me a sample if one is available. The Make-up artists always help to insure that I am getting exactly what I want. Another wonderful thing about M.A.C is that they list on their website various looks based on the different collections, and a brief step by step guide to show you how to re-create the looks. Oh! and let's not forget the Back2MAC program and the various charities that M.A.C is involved in. As you can see I could go on forever with how wonderful I think this company and its products are.

Yes I am a DRAMA QUEEN...and I'm proud of it!!!!! LOL
