Mac has just started releasing their holiday 2014 collection and some of the pieces look pretty awesome. I purchased two products so far, this Modern Majesty pigment is one of them and I'm so happy I got my hands on it. The one thing I will say that disappointed me is that the permanent pressed pigments are much larger and this is regular eyeshadow size for the same price. But, pressed pigments do last a long time so I still think it's worth it since it is limited edition.
Anyway, the color is a beautiful kind of duo chrome burgundy plum but when watched it turns kind of reddish brown. I really love the tones this has and it's really elegant. This is also a really gorgeous color for fall.

Introducing My Pretty Zombie Cosmetics' blushes in the shades LSD and Morphine. These are beautiful! Morphine is a interesting color in that as you blend it deepens. It's a lavender grey with shimmer. LSD is a lavender duo chrome with hints of grey plus pink shimmer.
This is my first purchase from My Pretty Zombie and I am not disappointed one bit. They are pigmented, blend like magic, and stay put. One of the things that really drew me to these was how different they are for blush colors. A grey blush? Yes.
I would say these are an eccentric highlighting and contouring duo. They perform wonderfully, adding the perfect shadow and light to your face but also adding a little mystery to your daily look. I just can't resist to also apply these as eyeshadows.
If you are like me and missed out on Chanel's Notorious blush a few years ago then you need to check these out! Morphine is very close dupe for Notorious in my opinion. It's the same concept of creating a realistic shadow on the face.

Today's makeup of the day is done using Mac's Kelly Osbourne collection. I ordered the eyeshadow palette, the brow duo (for use as eyeshadow), Kelly's Mineralize Skinfinish Duo along with Sharon's Mineralize Skinfinish Duo.
The products are nice and great for spring. The lipsticks sold out within the first couple hours so I didn't get my hands on any of them. I am not completely sure if I will keep the eye palette because I feel like the texture is pretty stiff. It was something different for me because I don't usually like purples. Kelly has been looking great since her lavender hair makeover and I just had to take part. I think that's the main thing that sold me. In the fall I am thinking of doing a grey silver hair color so I thought this would complement that look. We'll see...

You all know I love duo chromes. Well for Spring, Nars has released a new duo chrome shadow that is just gorgeous. The shade is Malacca and it has a plum tone with green sheen. Nars describes it as an iridescent peacock which I would say is pretty accurate but it definitely has more plum in its base than teal/green. I can see this working in so many ways.... as an allover color on the lid, as a deepened crease with a light shade on the lid, or even dabbed on top of a lipstick for some dimension. This one is a beauty! Sadly I think it is limited edition but maybe if it sells well they will add this to their permanent collection.

What I am about to introduce is a fantastic fall palette from Kat Von D called Ladybird. It is stunning. The pigmentation is great (I swatched on my arm with no primer). If you are on the market for something other than nudes and a seriously rich color palette then I would most definitely check this out. It retails at $36 at Sephora.
Sephora - Ladybird Palette by Kat Von D
Miss Kat hit it out of the park this time. I have three of her other palettes which all have great pigmentation and colors. I do think this is my favorite besides the Saint palette which is also a great neutral set and cheaper than Urban Decays Naked palettes.

The colors:
Fur Elise - medium dark matte plum
Vespertine - pale pinky nude
Renholder - medium dark matte grey taupe
Siouxsie-sioux - deep charcoal navy with slight pearl sheen (the only color with any sheen)
Unrequited - light matte peachy nude
Harlow - light medium matte taupey tan
Wolf - deep matte brick brown/burgundy
Cleopatra - matte rust
The palette also includes a liner in the shade Immortal Love which is a matte dark brown. The liner has a nice creamy texture.
These colors remind me of fall leaves, dark sunsets, and warm fires. I find that the whole palette being basically matte is also a plus since that was something my collection was lacking. It is a great addition. This palette and Urban Decay's Naked Basics palette compliment each other very well. This is also a great palette for my fellow blue eyed beauties out there! They make my blues pop!
Here is a link to the Naked Basics palette I mentioned in case you are interested. It is also a great palette that is reasonably priced at $26 at Sephora and Ulta.
