Advantages: Everything about the product

Disadvantages: Not easily available

MAC's eyeshadows are my favourite and the colour "Shroom" has become an essential addition to my make up bag upon discovering it a few years ago.

The light mushroom colour and creamy slightly shimmery texture are not too over the top and as with most eyeshadows you can build up the colour for a more intense finish.

I use a light coating of this as a base shadow from lid to eyebrow, and as well as being very easy to apply with a wide eyeshadow brush, it has excellent staying power - no need to retouch this one, I then use darker colours on my eyelid. Also remains crease free which is very important with eyeshadows.

My eyes are quite sensitive to some eyeshadows but had no problems with this and it comes off easily with make up remover.

Suitable to any age group, I find it quite versatile - could also be used as a highlighter.

Comes in a professional looking black plastic pot with a flip top see thru lid bearing the MAC initials on it and no brush - I think this is great as it saves on wasted plastic - I always throw the brush away.... Don't we all by now???

There are an amazing 142 colours to choose from in 10 different finishes ranging from Frost to Velvet. Shroom is a matte eyeshadow.

Priced at around £10, you get 1.5g of eyeshadow, it can be purchased in MAC shops and selected department stores, or online but as I've mentioned before MAC's downfall for me is there are not enough places to buy it.

Would definitely recommend this product, I think it's the best eyeshadow I have ever used. Oh how I wish MAC would open up more counters.....

Summary: I'll always go back to MAC.
