Blue-Teal Look Featuring Urban Decay 15 Year Anniversary Eyeshadow Collection

Here's another look I created using my new Urban Decay palette, this time it's a bright one. I love blues and teals, so I thought I'd use those.

Eyes:
Urban Decay Primer Potion (original)
Urban Decay Kiddie Pool eyeshadow (Sustainable palette) inner half of lid
Urban Decay Deep End eyeshadow (15 palette) in outer half of lid, above crease and on lower lashline
Urban Decay Evidence eyeshadow (15 palette) in crease
Urban Decay Vanilla eyeshadow (15 palette) in inner corner and on browbone to highlight
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner pencil in Flipside on lower lashline and waterline

• Pink shade all over lid
• White shade on inner side of lid and on browbone to highlight

FOTD: Gold, Green and Blue Look With Mac Unsurpassable

I did this look the other day using some of my goodies from Mac Semi-Precious collection, and I thought you might like to see it. I really loved the eyes, especially the eyeliner, although sadly it doesn't show very well in the close-ups, Urban Decay's Distortion added multicolour sparkles to the look. (You can see some sparkles in the full face photos though.) Let me know what you think!

To create this look I used the following:

Eyes:

Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin
Mac Unsurpassable mineralize eyeshadow

• Gold veins all over lid 
• Blue and green veins blended into the crease

Mac Illusionary Burning Ambition mineralize eyeshadow

• White gold shade on browbone to highlight
• Brown shade under lower lashline

Mac Superslick Liquid Eyeliner in Treat Me Nice and Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner in Distortion on upper lashline

Mac Semi-Precious Mineralize Skinfinish and Blush Swatches

Sorry this has taken me this long, but I finally have the Semi-Precious Mineralize Skinfinish (MSF) and Blush swatches to show you. As you know I have purchased all of the MSFs and 2 blushes, I did skip Pressed Amber as it just seemed a bit too muddy and boring (I'm not that into browns), but to be honest, there is such a variety with the MSFs being 2 colours already, I don't think I'll miss it. I really like the two blushes I got, Feeling Flush is nice girly and pink, and Warmth of Coral is a nice peachy colour (not so much coral though). I love the MSFs, especially Rose Quartz which is a lovely pink with amazing multicolour highlighter in the middle. For pictures of all products, please check out my Semi-Precious haul post as I will not include them in here too.

Also, would you like to see photos of my entire MSF collection? I will try to take pictures in the next few days. I last did it over 2 years ago and I have plenty more now, so it's about time I think!

Anyway, here are the swatches!

My Mac Semi-Precious Haul - Part 2 and Fashion Flower Haul

I went to check out the Semi Precious collection in person today, fully expecting to get sucked in by the lipsticks and Cremesheen glasses and walked away with just Unsurpassable mineralize eyeshadow (the one Debenhams couldn't send me). Yep, this is my rather measly part 2 of my haul. :)

It's a pretty eyeshadow though and I'm happy to now have the full set (see my haul part 1 here). And for this not to be such a boring post, I've decided to include my Fashion Flower haul as well. That's not a big one either. I originally ordered Summer Shower lipstick, Alpha Girl beauty powder, Now In Season and Fashion Flower lipgelees, and today I also picked up Budding Beauty lipgelee. I love the lipgelees, they are wonderfully sparkly (except Budding Beauty which is the least shimmery of the 3). Summer Shower lipstick is very unique as it's green/blue, but it's suprisingly wearable as it mainly just gives a sheen and not sull coverage. I have not swatched Alpha Girl because it's got such pretty flower detail, but I will get around to doing it soon.

So this is it for me for this month, so no more Mac haul posts. I will aim to swatch the Semi-Precious face products this weekend, plus I do have plenty other exciting thigs to show you too, so stay tuned!

Mac Semi-Precious Mineralize Eyeshadow Swatches

As promised, here are the swatches of the new Mac Semi-Precious mineralize eyeshadows I picked up. I'll aim to post swatches of the face products and will update this post with the missing eyeshadow swatch (Unsurpassable) tomorrow. For now, here are the swatches of the 11 minzeralize eyeshadows I own. All were done dry, swatched with my fingers. For more details, please check out my haul post.

My Mac Semi-Precious Haul - Part 1

I placed a rather large order with Debenhams on Monday and my Mac Semi-Precious goodies finally arrived today, so I thought I'd show them to you. They were unable to send Unsurpassable mineralize eyeshadow, so I will have to go and pick that up from a counter tomorrow, and I might pick up one or two lipstick depending on whether I fancy any of them, so that's why this post is titled "Part 1".

As you can see, I got rather a lot of things, in fact I got all the mineralize eyeshadows (but one), all the mineralize skinfinishes and 2 mineralize blushes. I am very happy with everything, I love mineralize products, so this is a great collection for me.

I will post swatches of the eyeshadows later (once I've done all the cropping, watermarking and labelling), for now see more pictures of my goodies after the jump!

Mac Semi-Precious is now online at Debenhams.com!

Yes, you heard it right! Mac Semi-Precious is now up on Debenhams.com! It's due to launch at counters on Thursday, but Debenhams have already put the collection up on their website (Mac hasn't yet got it by the way). So hurry, place your orders and tell me in the comments what you got!

EDIT: Now the collection is also available at Maccosmetics.co.uk!

PS. Fashion Flower is now also available at Debenhams.com and Maccosmetics.co.uk!

I'm excited about... Mac Semi-Precious Collection

I love mineralize eyeshadows, blushes and skinfinishes (in case you missed them you can check out my collection of mineralize eyeshadows here and an old post on my mineralize skinfinish collection here - I will do an updated post once I have the new MSFs from the upcoming collection), so it's not surprising that I'm very excited about the new Mac mineralize collection called Semi-Precious!

It is due to be released on 7th July in the US as well as over here in the UK, although I have heard rumours of it launching this coming Thursday, but I don't think that's true. Mac normally releases their collections on the first Thursday of every month and this month we got Flighty, so I think that's it for June.

See LOTS more pictures and collection details as well as my wish list after the jump!
