My top ten favorite MAC shadows

Hi everyone! I love, love, love MAC's neutral shadows. I like my looks simple, do not like wearing a ton of different shadows just not my thing, 3-4 max (4th one being a black shadow to line my eyes so that might not count). What I love about MAC is that their neutrals are great for the fuss free looks I like so much, especially with their great duochromes.
My top ten are:

1) Patina- Antique gold with pink duochrome
2) Vex- Light greyish beige with pink duochrome
3) Vapour- Light pink with blue and violet duochrome
4) Ricepaper- Light golden champagne
5) Crystal Avalanche- Shimmery pure white
6) Brule- Nude (satin finish)
7) Soba- Golden brown with pink shimmer
8) Retrospeck- Champagne with silver microglitter
9) Naked Lunch- Light neutral shimmery pink
10) All that glitters- Shimmery peachy pink

Same order as above


Thanks for reading!

Burberry Sheer Eyeshadow-Pale Rose

Pale Rose is the palest pink with just a hint of pink opal. To die for! I have a soft spot for pink shadows, they are timeless and ever so feminine.
 Formula is pigmented, soft, and blends effortlessly. I don't even have to think about whether or not this is going to look great, last long, or blend well, Burberry did all the work for me and made their shadows fool-proof. They are highest of quality and worth every penny IMO.

CHANEL Safari


 CHANEL does taupe like nobody's business. Their taupes aren't just basic, they are sexy, sensual, luxe, and far from boring or basic. Safari is no exception. The perfect color whether it's for a daytime or a night out on the town without having to do too much effort.

CHANEL Enigma





Enigma is a total Fall quad consisting of a light shimmery pink (CHANEL loves pink), dark khaki with micro glitter, dark gunmetal grey with micro glitter, and a dark purple with micro glitter. Everything needed to create a bold and sexy smokey eye. I like ti wear it over Urban Decay Primer Potion, I find the wetness of it makes the shadow pop more and the shimmer/glitter more intense. Also, patting it in and then blending works best. 
   I am a sucker for micro glitter so I said "I'll take it" so the SA the moment I saw it without even swatching it first. Sometimes, I just get too excited.

Elizabeth Arden Shimmer Powder

Elizabeth Arden is a brand I don't hear too much about, well, anything actually. Which is a shame because they have some great products. Especially this pigmented pale pink highlighter with gold shimmer and silver micro glitter.






To die for.

Dior Nude Pink Design

I love, love, looove this palette! For 2 reasons:

1-Chunky pink and violet reflects
2-Fine pink and violet reflects

'Nuff said.

I die! Since they're solid they're easier to use than the MAC messy reflects. The rest of the shades are gorgeous as well, a shimmery greyish mauve, shimmery nude peachy pink, and a shimmery plum cream liner that has surprisingly great pigmentation. My favorite look to do with it is just an all over wash of one of the reflects and line with the plum liner; simple but glamorous.



I love Dior quints.

CHANEL Demure

Demure ($57) is a beautiful classy quad loaded with the perfect shades to create a pink and chocolate look, which I totally adore. If you're a proper lady you need this. Or if you're a hoor trying to pass as a proper lady you really need this.;P This consists of a mauvish pink, pinky beige, light pink, and a dark brown with a satin finish. Does that sound like a palette you just want to ravish or what?




Thanks for reading!:)

CHANEL Winter Nights

Hi everyone! So sorry I've been MIA, my mom broke the bone that connects her ankle to her foot so I've been busy helping her on my free time. Thought I'd update with what I think is the perfect quad for Fall. Winter Nights ($57) consists of a TAUPE, medium gold, pink, and a black with gold and pink micro glitter (I DIE!). Pigmentation is fabulous and all the colors work so great together. The black shade is my fav, I like to wear it in my outter V for a glamorous cat eye.
