Mac Iris apfel haul and shadows dupes

Hello dear readers :)

Iris apfel  is one of the collections that contain things I love >>pink lipsticks...neon ones as  u will see ..They launched it in Kuwait after a long long waiting but let me tell u some thing ..never buy makeup without trying it ..I was obsessed with this collection because of the internet reviews and pics but when I saw them in real ,I was disappointed ..although the eye shadows colors are gorgeous but the texture sucks toooo dry ,very hard to pick the color and not that wow ..Any way I think lipsticks were amazing ..They have neon attractive colors ..Oh my god I fell in love with them..I picked three lipsticks ..let me share it with u

    L-R:flamingo ,pink pigeon,party parrot and robin's egg eye shadow

I will start with my favorite one Flamingo

this is a lusture lipstick ,a peachy pink that I loooooooooooovvve it is transparent a little bit but still the most wearable one for every day makeup .

Pink pigoen :

Pink pigeon is matte , a very bright pink . it is beautiful with cat eye look or even with black or electric blue smoky eyes for evenings.

Party parrot:

This one is matte too ,a mix of red ,pink ,coral ..I don't know how to describe it,the closest color to it is mac impassioned ..it is a beautiful one for a fair skin,that's why I 'm lucky this time..

all lipsticks are bright and beautiful ,they are great for summer and spring ..

Here we come to the eyeshadows ,I bought only one :

Robins egg:

it is a bluewish teal with a matte finish ,I guess it is the best one of all the collection eye shadows to work with while all the others are very dry ...There are better dupes in texture I will show it to you .

Inglot have the best mattes I ever tried ,you feel they are creamy while working with them ,very very pigmented and easy to pick..(This need a special post about inglot eye shadows!!)

now here are the dupes:

 MAC Diamond Dove-----------Mac Brun

MAC Early Bird------------------Inglot 361

MAC Howzat--------------------Mac print  but the difference is Howzat has a blue sheen

MAC Silver Gull------------------inglot 35

MAC Robins egg----------------inglot 372

Here are the dupes

This collection is great ,I wish Mac improve the texture of the matte shadows .

My MAC eye shadows and swatches

Hello beauties ,
This is my first post in 2012 ,it should be earlier but I still have problems with my very busy schedule,I can't find time for my self :(

In this post I will swatch my M.A.C. eye shadows ..I still have more shadows here and there I will swatch it later when Yara (my daughter ) remembers where she vanished them !!!
so let's start ...
All swatches are  without any base 

No need to explain about M.A.C. and how good they are ,they are my favorite brand and the best eye shadows I ever used ..The only thing I don't like about M.A.C. is their matte shadows texture,I find it dry and very hard to pick the color ..
That 's all for today ,wait for me ,for more swatches ,more reviews ..

MAC haul :from holiday collection and more ..

Hiiii:)
Happy holidays everyone  and merry christmas .We 've been waiting for M.A.C's holiday collection for so long and when it arrived here ,no one informed us ,I saw it by chance while I was passing by M.A.C..Most of the items were out of stock :(  especially the gift sets ..But any way there were still some gorgeous things.. This post had to be done before 2 weeks but I wanted to take the pics with my new Camera (nikon coolpix s8200)so it is late a little bit
I needed another 239 brush and it was there with a set of 5 brushes for only 25 kd (90 $ ) ..Ofcourse you will notice the big difference in the prices ..Our M.A.C is getting more expensive while prices in M.A.C out side Kuwait is still the same..

The package is beautiful....They come in a very cute clear bag

The brushes :

The brushes included:
167SE: a bronzer brush
168SE: angled contour brush
217 SE: a must have brush for eye shadow applying and blending ,I tried it for blending concealer and worked great with creams .
39SE : for applying shadows and packing color on the eyelid .
212SE:flat definer brush for under the eye or eyeliner .

All these brushes are limited edition and their handles are shorter than the full sized brushes. This brush set comes with a handy  and cute clear handles with silver glitters

This ball of lip glosses is adorable ,I bought 2 balls with pink glosses one for me and one for my sister for her birthday ,I was planning to get her a face kit that contains eyeshadows,blusher ,a lips stick and 2 or 3 brushes I don't remember ,it was out of stock
any way this one is nice gift too..

I love pink ..

I took only one paint pot from the glitter and ice collection  ,it is called Let's skate

Let's skate is a pale pink shade with gold pearl ,it is amazing as base or on the inner corner of the eyes.

I got some more items T

The fast response eye cream which need to be reviewed alone,simply I can't live without it .
There 's also a paint pot from the posh paradise collection called Nibule

I don't know why this color turns brown on my skin after a while .

A closer shot

Hot Gossip is plum medium pink  cream sheen lipstick

That's all for today ..wish you enjoy your holidays ..Thanks for looking
