Hey ladies!
I hope you've all had a lovely Monday :-)
Recently, I hauled the latest MAC collection, Heavenly Creatures.
I've never bought anything from a Limited Edition MAC collection before so this was a first for me!
I had my eye on LOADS from the collection but in the end I picked up just two items.
Here's what I hauled...
Cremesheen Glass in Meteoric - RRP £17.00
The first thing I bought was a limited edition lipgloss in the shade Meteoric.
It's my first MAC lipgloss so I wasn't really sure to expect. It features my favoured doe foot applicator - but I noticed there's not as much product in the tube as I was expecting from the size of it.
Meteoric is described as a light coral with gold micro shimmer. It's perfect for me as I'm a huge fan of coral lip products, but I wasn't sure about the gold shimmer.
Lips before and after:
Luckily, the coral micro shimmer wasn't immediately noticeable on the lips, instead it just looks like the coral is glistening in the light.
Swatches:

Middle: MAC Cremesheen Glass in Meteoric
Bottom: Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Gloss
The only other two coral lip gloss products I own are swatched above and I'm quite pleased they're all very different as it justifies my purchase! Haha.
I found Meteoric to have about 3 hours wear before it started to fade, and it has a semi-opaque finish. It has the lovely, vanilla scent (like the lipsticks) - it's just a shame that there's such little product in the tube.
Mineralize Skinfinish in Center of the Universe - RRP £21.50
The next thing I picked up was this limited edition Mineralize Skinfinish in Center of the Universe.
Like the lipgloss, I didn't own a MAC Mineralize Skinfinish before so I had no idea what to expect at all.
From what I've learnt from using this product and from what I've read online, MAC's Mineralize Skinfinishes are supposed to be used as a final highlighting product.
Centre of the Universe is described as coral with gold shimmer. It features different swirls of gold, bronze and orange, that blend together to create a goldy brown shade.
Swatches:
(left without flash, right with flash)
Middle: MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Center of the Universe
Bottom: ELF Blush in Peachykeen
I compared the Mineralize Skinfinish to what I thought were two similar bronzers in my collection, but I found Center of the Universe to have much more of a shimmer than the other two, which were much more matte. It also looks peachier in colour compared to the others, more like a rose gold.
I found Center of the Universe to look like a glistening gold/orange on the skin, and I like to use it as a bronzer type highlight, brushing it up along my cheekbones and temples to create a sun-kissed glow. It lasted around 5-6 hours before fading and it's VERY pigmented - you only need a very light hand!

Love the look of the MSF on you. I don't buy mac lipglosses anymore for the same reason, hardly any product for the price
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing! I need to get my hands on centre of the universe XO!
ReplyDelete@Eloise Yeah I know, doesn't it look amazing in the pan! What MSF have you got? x
ReplyDelete@Gaelle Thank you hun :-) hmm what lip products do you buy? I wonder if NARS lipglosses have the same problem?
