Review: MAC Spiked Eye Brows and Superslick Liquid Lids

MAC does have quite the names right? Spiked Eye Brows and Superslick Liner?

I got those two little products at the Airport when I went to Austria some time ago. I really needed an eyebrow pencil at that time as my trusty Tom Ford one ran out after a year.

So I went for Spiked as the make-up artist was wearing it and recommended it and it looked like the right colour for me.

And it was.

There is nothing else really to say about Spiked except it was a lot smaller that I expected when unpacking it. Its a good brow pencil and will last you all day. Nevertheless as a gadget I really do miss the Tom ford one I had previously as it not only had an amazing elongated square shape which really draws in realistic fake hairs, but it also had an inbuilt sharpener and a brush which I used regularly. Both pencils are twist up if I have not mentioned that yet.

I bought the MAC Superslick Liquid Eyeliner on the same day reason being that I still have not found the perfect black eyeliner. There is always something wrong with them, either the application does not work as I want or the colour pay-off is crap, or they wont last on my lids.

The Superslick Liquid Eyeliner is good but not the perfect one for me.

It has a flexible sponge tip applicator which has a very fine point. I like that. It does last all day and doesn't budge. I like that too. But it is one of those eyeliner where the line that you created on your lid will be erased by going over a second time. Do you know what I mean? So it does take a bit of patience applying it cause I NEVER can do a nice flick with just one swipe.

Additionally I am not quite sure about the finish. It's very glossy. Some people might love that, but I would prefer if it was matte.

Above are some swatches.

Please let me know if you found an eyeliner that is amazing and fits all the points I mentioned above! :)

So long...

MAC Spring Lipsticks Haul: Viva Glam Nicki, Innocence Beware! and Watch me Simmer

I got carried away!
After seeing a few swatches of the three lipsticks in question, I got carried away and decided: I need all three of them!
Innocence Beware! was limited edition and I always regretted that I did not get it, so now I had a second chance. The other two are just the perfect spring brights, which are just on the edge of being wearable to work.

 

 

 

Innocence Beware! (Cremesheen finish) is part of the SHOP MAC Collection is a pinky nude lipstick that is just perfect.

Viva Glam Nicki (Satin finish) is part of the Viva Glam collections which means that all the proceeds support the MAC Aids fund which is a creat cause!
The colour is described as a bright yellow pink, see swatch below.

 

Watch me Simmer (Amplified finish) is also part of the MAC SHOP Collection and is a bright bright pinky coral colour. This will definitely become one of my favourite spring summer lipsticks.

Excuse my dry lips but I thought that some lipstick swatches on the lips might be quite useful. I wore Viva Glam Nicki the other day to work and and looked amazing and wore a very long time.

What are your favourite spring lipsticks?

So long,...

xoxo
