Mac Eyeshadows!

Hey! Today I am doing a "review" of my Mac eyeshadows and what I like and dislike.

Mac eyeshadows retail for $12 in the pan, $15 in the pot, and $21 for Mineralized eyeshadows. 

 

Above are the packaging of my eyeshadows, from the top left down; Gleam(Lustre), Jest(Frost), Expensive Pink(Veluxe Pearl), This and That(Mineralize, Limited Edition), Grain(Satin), and Sable(Frost).

Artificial Light: This and That, This and That, Gleam, Jest, Grain, Expensive Pink, Sable

Out of all of my Mac shadows, Sable is for sure my favorite and I haven't had it for long at all, but the color and pigmentation are amazing for a neutral crease color. The first one I ever bought was Expensive Pink, and now I hardly ever use that color because I am way too pale for it in the winter. Grain is a gorgeous natural lid color that brightens and looks like your actual eyelid. Jest is a bit hard to build up but once it is it's very pretty. The Mineralize duo has a nice shimmery lid color that is a champagne-golden color and a highlight that is a slightly yellow toned satin white color. And Gleam is a nice color, but again it's hard to build up and it has chunky glitter(I would recommend X by Urban Decay as an alternative)

Overall I think certain Mac shadows are pretty good quality, but there are some duds in the mix just like every brand. However Mac's selection of eyeshadows is outstanding, I would suggest checking them out.

Maybelline Illegal Length Fiber Extensions Mascara

Today I realized I was almost out of my Benefit's They're Real mascara, and that I should pick up a new tube. I did not particularly want to dish out $23 on it though. I believe that drugstore mascaras(if you get a good one) can be just as good as the high-end makeup brands. I had heard really good things from other blogs about the Illegal Length mascara from Maybelline. My eyelashes are not as long as I wish they were, and I thought that this mascara would be the one for me.

With the first coat I could tell I really liked the effect it gave my eyelashes. It did not clump and my eyelashes were already at a good length while being defined and separated  The second coat was even more dramatic it gave some more volume and length with no clumping. The pictures down below are before and after pictures, but the after one is with 2 coats.(I did not take a picture with one coat)

If you are looking for a mascara with amazing lengthing properties then you should head out to the drugstore and pick this one out.

Price: $6.94 at Target or Walmart

$8.99 at Walgreens
