MAC Temperature Rising Haul

Hey guys!
So today in Dallas we had a scary tornado watch so no lip swatches since I do prefer those in sunlight. But, I did take pics of the items I got from this collection instead. I stuck to items that are unique to me or what I know I do not have in my makeup collection already.

First up is the Golden Elixir strobe liquid. I picked this up since I do want a nice golden glow this summer. Application alone on my skin was smooth and the glow was present. However there was a smell to it...like a marker or something...

As for lipsticks, I only picked up Caliente from this collection. I love the packaging of the lipstick! It is described as a dazzle finish lipstick. Application was smooth, didn't feel hard or gritty. Ate lunch, and the glitter stayed in place. So far, so good.

As far as lipglass, I chose to go with Underdressed. It's packed with glitter which I think is perfect for the summer months. It's a very bronze color and has the MAC lipglass signature tacky feeling so if you are not into that stay away from this lipglass.

MAC released these powerchrome pencils so I had to have at least one. These are so small! To me anyway. I decided on the deep brown color called "Life's Luxury." It's a beautiful brown with some red glitter as it seems with it.

MAC RiRi Woo lipstick

MAC Cosmetics recently collaborated with Rihanna to create a beautiful new retro matte lipstick inspired by Ruby Woo-Rihanna's fav red lipstick.

I really enjoyed this lipstick. Not just because it's a red, but because the finish is beautiful, it's not drying and it stays on all day!

Here is a video to show you how awesome this lipstick is!

MAC Art Of The Eye Collection haul

MAC recently released another collection called Art of the Eye. All of the products have names in Arabic which I thought was really cool. I decided to pick up one quad, an eyeshadow and a brow gel from this collection.

(L-R: Deep Dark brunette brow gel creme, Rimal Dahabia quad, Hajar Karim eyeshadow)

The Rimal Dahabia quad is perfect for neutral lovers and professionals alike.

The colors in this quad include:

-Soft Brown: soft, golden peachy brown

-Shroom: soft beige with shimmer

-Beauty burst: rich reddish brown

-Najm el Lail: blackened deep brown

Hajar Karim is described as a clean warm green and it has a veluxe finish. There was a bit of fall out with this color but it is a beautiful green with an amazing finish.

MAC Nudes & Metallics Collection 2013

MAC Nudes & Metallics is a PRO only collection. So I was happy to find a pro store in my area to pick up a few items from this collection.

I picked up 3 lipsticks, 2 eye shadow and a blush:

Brazenly eye shadow
Exposed eye shadow
Show all lipstick
Dominate lipstick
Restrained lipstick
Stylish me Blush

I fell in love with the metallic side of the collection since the colors were more on the berry and purple side, but the nude side had some nice colors as well.
