Blogosphere Buzz : MAC Give Me Liberty of London Collection
Hello ladies. How is your Easter weekend so far? I went to see the movie The Last Song, which is a very nice film, but definitely not as good as I had expected. I think the recently launched (March 11, 2010) MAC Give Me Liberty of London Collection is much more interesting. The gorgeous packaging and limited edition shades are definitely attracting a lot of attentions, especially in the beauty blogosphere.
Initially, I was really interested in the eye shadows ($14.50, 5 shades), but unfortunately, the only shadow in the collection that has at least a decent color pay off is the limited edition shade Birds & Berries (Veluxe Pearl). Bough Grey (Satin) is a beautiful bluish grey shade in the pot. However, a swatch of it in the MAC store shows almost no pigmentation and the bluish tone also fades away on the skin, leaving just a dirty grey color. Similarly, Give Me Liberty of London (Matte) and Free to Be (Matte) would also require the fairest skin to even have the colors show up nicely. I have to say that the shadows in this collection is quite disappointing.
The true gem in the collection is actually the lipsticks ($14, 4 shades). Other than Peachstock (Satin), which is a color in the MAC Pro permanent line, all other 3 shades are limited edition colors. I missed out on Lavender Whip (Cremesheen), so I grabbed the chance to score Blooming Lovely (Amplified), which is a creamy lilac shade. Petals & Peacocks (Amplified)'s bright fuchsia pink color is lovely but doesn't really suite my yellow skin. My favorite of the stack is Ever Hip (Cremesheen), and it is a gorgeous peachy-orange shade. Unfortunately, it is sold out everywhere, but check your local MAC counter and store for possible restocks.
The tinted lipglasses ($14, 4 shades) have some pretty shades, but they can be easily duped. I bought them anyways so I can pair them with the lipsticks.

Great packaging! MAC always has the best stuff. I love the peachstock color. It's a very sexy nude tone.
