Mac Midnight Blues Fluid Line Review Mac Me Over Collection

Mac Midnight Blues Fluid Line Review

Collection: MAC Me Over
Price: 15.00






Color:  This color in pan shows a bit lighter in photo.  This is very close up in great lighting, this is a deep blueish green with finely milled sparkles.  The sparkle is not offensive and barely noticeable.  This is a great color very rich and fall appropriate.  If you are looking for something more jazzy than your regular black liner, this is a great way to incorporate color into your collection.  A deep blue green lays beautifully on the lid creating the perfect deep color.

Staying Power: All Mac Fluidliners in my opinions are alright when it comes to longevity.  Every color I own I love the color more than the formula.  Mac does a great job in bringing makeup lovers a truly unique range of colors.  But the fluid lines always wear off a bit throughout an 8 hour work day, they are not smudge or waterproof.  I would still recommend these fluid liner with a good base like Too Face Shadow Insurance or Urban Decay Primer Potion. 

Applying:  Easy to apply with a small liner brush, the consistency is beautiful and smooth.  A great way to introduce liner into your makeup routine.  These are not recommend on the eye lid, especially the colors with sparkle/glitter.  The ones without glitter are very long wearing and pigmented on the waterline.

Overall:  A great colored eyeliner to have in the collection, not to bright or bold.  Office appropriate, a great alternative to black, and as always smooth and creamy.  If you love Mac Fluid Lines than this is a great addition.  Not a must need product, but again a great alternative.


Review & Swatches French Affair by Essie

Monday, February 21, 2011














Color: French Affair

Company: Essie

Collection: French Affair Spring 2011

Price: 4.99-8.00 depends on where you purchase (I got mine @ local beauty supply)

Color According to Essie: a sophisticated soft lavender pink

My Thoughts:

Wow I was really impressed when I read the description for the color, I felt it match the description to a t! The color is a true soft baby pink with a lavender undertone. It has such a beautiful pastel soft look to it with out it being sheer, the formula is definitely opaque. I really like Essie nail polish but I find the opaque colors can be streaky with a heavy hand. If you take your time with the manicure it truly looks and wears well.

I have worn this color close to a week with no chipping whats so ever! This is a great color to grab for your collection. Pink is usually my last choice but I have been enjoying this color. Great for Easter, and winter blues a step towards spring in a bottle!!
