MAC x Cinderella Collection Review & Swatches

The MAC Cinderella collection sold out really fast! Both on MAC and Macy's. I lucked up because my doctor was late (I had a really early appointment when the collection went live that morning), and so I purchased it online via my cell phone at the doctors office. HaHaHa Yes, I am a specialty makeup collector addict indeed ;). Below are my thoughts on the collection.

MAC Cinderella Stroke of Midnight Eyeshadow

This is my favorite item out of the collection. All of my readers know, I've been on a neutral makeup kick this year, so this was right up my alley. It contains 6 eyeshadows: vapour, phloof, omega, quarry, satin taupe and stroke of midnight. Their pigmentation and quality was really good. I'm really PROUD OF MYSELF, because I used ALL 6 EYESHADOWS for my look below. I get so scared when using eyeshadow. More than 2 and I buckle at the knees. I'm also proud that I created a VAMP/SMOKEY EYE look instead of going the easy route and making a sweet look.

MAC Mystery Princess Beauty Powder and Coupe D'Chic Iridescent Powder Pressed

Both are nice. They add a little sparkle to the skin. I use Mystery Princess as a highlighter and Coupe D'Chic all over. So you could see the difference, I put Mystery Princess on my nose and Coupe D'Chic on my cheeks in the pics below. They're both VERY SUBTLE.

MAC Glass Slipper & Happily Ever After Lipglass and Royal Ball Lipstick

Let's switch from a VAMP LOOK to a SWEET LOOK! No eye makeup for the lippy pics below. I'm so glad I purchased both of the lip glasses, because they really look great alone. PLUS, they smell like sweet candy. Glass Slipper is sheer with a tinge of pink. Happily Ever After is sheer with blue sparkles. The Royal Ball lipstick was a rather milky pink for my complexion (it looks different on everyone). Here it is alone, but with my smokey eye pics, I used the lip glasses over it. There was a lighter lipstick (Free As A Butterfly) and I'm so glad I didn't get it because it would've washed me completely out. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchases and MY LOOK, but I can see where others are frustrated. I lucked up and the colors agreed with me, however MAC could've done SO MUCH more with this collection from packaging, to what happened to nail lacquers for this, to providing more color range especially for WOC (women of color). But it sold out, so I guess it was a success HaHaHa You can view my past MAC posts here.
