More Superglasses!

I popped over to one of my nearest Mac counters (I have 2 within 20 mins drive) on Monday and decided to pay a bit more attention to the Superglass collection display since last time I was in such a rush grabbing Stereo Rose and all my other In The Groove goodies, I only got a few of them. (You can see my original post on my In The Groove + Superglass haul here.) But since I really been like them, I decided to pick up a few more.

Top to bottom: Sweet Tart, Disco Blend, Sugar Overload

So after swatching all of them again, I decided to buy Sugar Overload, Disco Blend and Sweet Tart. Which really only leaves Tunnel Of Love out, but I really can't see how I would use a dark brown gloss like that. All 3 of the ones I got are pretty light and neutral, can be worn alone for a subtle look or to add shine and sparkle to lipsticks. As they are on the sticky side, they are quite longlasting. I have not had any trouble with the glitter, it doesn't transfer to my face, just disappears as the gloss fades. If you haven't yet checked them out, I thoroughly recommend that you do, don't forget, they're all limited editions. See more photos including swatches after the jump!

Mac In The Groove + Superglass Look #6

Are you bored of me yet? Don't worry, this is going to be my last look for a while as I'm going to be very busy in the next few days. Anyway, I created a pink and purple look today, my two favourite colours. I used the pink shade from Fresh & Easy and the darker purple shade from Togetherness mineralize eyeshadow trios, and also the lovely purple shade from Hang Loose mineralize blush. I also used Hang Loose on my cheeks and Rose Maiden lipstick (not from this collection, came out in Spring Colour Forecast) with Cherry Electric superglass. I love this lip combo, Rose Maiden is one of my favourite lipsticks and Cherry Electric is a gorgeous shade too! I also used Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Ransom and Guerlain Le 2 mascara in Violet. Hope you like this look. See more pictures including products used after the jump.

Mac In The Groove + Superglass Look #4

Here we go again. Today's look was created using Soften The Mood eyeshadow trio and Happy Together mineralize blush. I know I have used the blush already, but I was in a major hurry this morning, so just grabbed it. I do love it very much anyway, it is a gorgeous peachy nude blush. I didn't use any of the lipsticks or superglasses I got from these collections, because I don't think any of them would really suit this look, so I opted for Sequin lipstick from the permanent line. I also used Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner pencil in Electric on the lower lashline, No 7 Stay Perfect liquid eyeliner in turquoise above the upper lashline, and Givenchy Phenomen'eyes waterproof mascara in Water Turquoise. And this is what I ended up with. I absolutely love the middle shade of the trio, it's described as pearly rose by Mac, but it's more beige (similar to the lighter half of Happy Together), but in any case it is a beautiful highlighter. I think this trio is my second favourite so far. See more photos after the jump.

Mac In The Groove + Superglass Look #3

As promised earlier, this week I'm working on looks using mainly products from In The Groove and Superglass, so here is another look I've created. Today's look was created by using Fresh & Easy mineralize eyeshadow trio, Band of Roses mineralize blush, By Candlelight mineralize skinfinish, Go For It lipstick and Superflash! superglass. I also used Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Gunmetal on my lower lashline and Guerlain Le 2 mascara in black on my lashes. So far Fresh & Easy has been my favourite of the mineralize eyeshadow trios from this collection (although I'm yet to try a few more of them). The colours are just lovely and work together really well, there's no too dark or too light shade, and the texture is just as smooth and buttery as the other eyeshadows in this collection. Unfortunately though I'm not loving Go For It. For a Creemsheen it doesn't go on very evenly at all, I really struggled with applying it. One coat was just too light and uneven, put more on and it's too dark. I used Superflash! superglass on top of it which did help to smooth it out and make the colour more wearable though. In this look I also used By Candlelight mineralize skinfinish that I'd already owned from Warm & Cosy collection. It is a lovely highlighter and I would recommend getting it if you don't have it. It's just gorgeous and would work well on all skintones. Without further ado, here's some pictures of the look I created. Enjoy!

Mac In The Groove + Superglass Look #2

As promised, here's another look using some of my new goodies from In The Groove and Superglass. To be honest, I'm not too happy about the eyes, I just couldn't get them to look the same, and didn't have time to start again, so had to leave it like this. I think it's okay, especially since I don't walk around with my eyes shut, but I would have liked to make it look better. Anyway, try focusing on my right eye which turned out better. Today's look was created by using Blue My Mind mineralize eyeshadow trio, Happy Together mineralize blush, Jazzed lipstick and Gift Wrap superglass. I also used GOSH eyeliner in Pretty Petrol on my lower lashline and Guerlain Le 2 mascara in black on my lashes. I do like Happy Together blush a lot, it is a very natural looking blush. I used the darker shade fisrt, then the lighter half to highlight, but you can just swirl the two together. Jazzed lipstick is gorgeous, no wonder it's now sold out on the Mac UK website, and Gift Grap superglass complements is very well. The eyeshadows are lovely, although instead of the black shade I'd prefer dark blue, but the lighter and medium blue shades are both gorgeous. Here's the look I created: See more pictures of the look and products used after the jump.

Mac In The Groove + Superglass Look #1

My aim is to do as many FOTDs as possible using my new goodies from In The Groove and Superglass over the next week or so. I will try to use one trio at a time, but might have to add highlighter or crease colour as some of them are not complete looks on their own. I will also test out the blushes and lipsticks, plus the new superglasses. Today's look was created using Togetherness mineralize eyeshadow trio, Hang Loose mineralize blush, I Like It Like That lipstick and Totally Bang superglass. I used the grey shade all over my lid, the dark purple shade in the crease and the light purple shade above the crease and on my browbone. I also added the purple shade from Hang Loose blush above the crease because the light purple shade is quite matte and I prefer a little more shimmer, plus it is a gorgeous colour anyway! Ideally I would like Togetherness to have a medium purple shade instead of the grey, I think it would look better and would be easier to create looks with, but I guess you can always add a medium shade, so the difference between the crease colour and the lightest shade isn't too stark. I also used Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner pencil in Ransom on the lower lashline and Guerlain Le 2 Mascara in black. I'm not too sure about I Like It Like That lipstick on its own on me, I don't normally wear this shade, but after adding Totally Bang superglass, I was pretty happy with the result. The superglass also made the lipstick so much longer lasting, I really really like it! And the glitters aren't very noticeable at all. Anyway, here's the look I created, let me know what you think.

My In The Groove and Superglass haul (updated)

I went to my local Mac counter yesterday morning to check out the new collections. I was pretty sure I wanted all the mineralize eyeshadows and blushes as I have all the other ones from past collections (yep, I am a collector, I just love mineralize make up). I also wanted to pick up a Stereo Rose although I already owned it, but wanted to see how different it was (it's pretty much the same by the way). I wasn't sure which lipsticks and superglasses I wanted to pick up, I always check out lip products in person, I find they're not as easy to pull off as eyeshadows and blushes. In the end I bought 3 lipsticks: Go For It, Jazzed and I Like It Like That (all Cremesheen) and 5 superglasses: Superflash, Cherry Electric, Totally Bang, Gift Wrap and Fab Frenzy. My initial opinion is that the eyeshadows are a lot smoother than previous releases, they are very easy to blend and have no fallout. I haven't even swatched everything, but love all the colours. I did try out Togetherness today and will post pictures of my look later. The blushes are very nice too, again haven't tried all of them, only used Hang Loose today and it's really pretty and has a good colour payoff, although it is pretty light, so would probably be more of a highlighter for darker skintones. The lipsticks are all Cremesheens, although I Like It Like That has the best colour payoff, the other two are pretty sheer. I love the superglasses, they are pigmented and very longlasting (for a gloss anyway), although quite sticky (not more so than normal Mac lipglasses though). I don't find them gritty at all and in fact they're not even that glittery on the lips. Here's a picture of my haul in all its glory.
