The MAC Originals collection is here!

To be quite honest, this collection is not all that impressive. The one thing that is, however, is the highly coveted Parrot eyeshadow. I had the original Parrot that was released with Salsabelle, but decided it wasn’t my color, and swapped it off. Now that Parrot is being re-released, I got 4…yeah, I know. I figured that I could either give them as gifts, or keep them until they get insanely coveted like Pleasureflush or So Ceylon MSF.

Anyway, the Originals collection is comprised of best-selling MAC items that are either discontinued, or are old-school MAC. Most are not available in the regular MAC collection (although the pigments [with the exception of Kitschmas] are available at PRO stores regularly), so it is a chance to own some nice original MAC items if you’re interested. I might stop by the counter and take a look later, but I’ve already got my Parrot, so I’m good.

I got Alima “Melon” blush as a sample a long time ago, and never used it until now. It’s beautiful to use as a blush, or as a contour, which works for me since I’m too lazy most of the time to apply blush and contour unless I’m going out.

The Wet ‘n’ Wild liquid liner isn’t too bad for $3, but I’m sure there’s something better. I bought it to try my hand at liquid liner (most “liquid” I’ve used is gel liner), and it lasts for an hour or so before it starts flaking/smudging. But, if you’ve never used liquid liner before, it’s worth a shot – the only thing I didn’t like was that the brush tip is solid. With most liquid liners, they have a sponge tip that allows you to apply thin or thick lines, but these WnW ones have a solid tip which do not bend or have any give, so it takes a bit to get used to.
