Advantages: Huge array of colours, Long lasting, Dream to apply

Disadvantages: Quite expensive

I recently leapt on the MAC bandwagon a few weeks ago buy purchasing: Trax and Vanilla powder eyeshadow, Mauvism, Stilife and Untitled Paints and Cubic blusher. These products are excellent and worth every penny!

I am so in love with the paints and Trax eyeshadow. The paints are very pigmented and are a dream to apply - they are a cream that comes in these cute little "paint tubes", hence the name, and they dry to a powdery, amazing lasting finish. They make great bases (especially Untitled, which is a very natural looking creamy, beige colour with a teeny amount of shimmer). Stilife is a very pretty, VERY shimmery pale peachy colour. Mauvism is an unbelievably gorgeous colour -- light mauve with a lovely metallic shimmer to it (this is my favourite paint, followed by Untitled as a close second). To apply, just get a very small amount on your finger and gently tap it onto your eyelid (at first I was smearing it over my eyelid but this didnt look right at all - I then got the excellent tip of the "tapping"!) By applying a little bit at a time you can build up the intensity of the colour from very very subtle, to amazingly striking colour - especially with the Mauvism paint. Personally, I prefer my makeup to look natural 99% of the time, so I only apply one layer of colour when I use Mauvism. However, I like to use 2 layers of Untitled because it is such a natural looking colour anyway, it doesnt look too obvious!
Paints are £12 each in England - cheaper in America and Canada (MAC is from Canada)

The Trax eyeshadow is in the Velvet range of eyeshadows (there is a choice of Frost, Matte, Satin or Velvet). It is a plummy-burgundy kind of colour with a gold/bronzy shimmer to it. It is so very pretty! And again, it is so easy to apply - application is smooth and, like the paints, you can build up the intensity of it. I like to use it along with Mauvism paint - I use Mauvism all over my eyelid and then Trax in the crease for defi
nition. Vanilla eyeshadow is also from the Velvet range and is a pale ivory/peachy colour with very subtle shimmer. It makes a good base and highlighter for the browbone. These eyeshadows are so soft to apply and last forever (well, almost!)
Powder eyeshadows are £9 each.

The Cubic blush - I never used to wear blusher but I saw someone with this blusher on and I had to ask what it was because it looked so nice. So off I went to get some ;) I dont wear it very often but it is a very nice colour - a soft pinky colour which looks very natural, but I am not sure if it is for me or not. Maybe it will look better with a bit of a tan! (I am quite pale) As with all the MAC makeup I have tried so far (and there will be a WHOLE LOT more to follow! ;) ), it is long lasting.
Blusher is £12.

I have so many MAC products that I want to buy now. Not sure my husband will appreciate me spending £12 on an eyeshadow, but hey, its a womans prerogative! ;) He can spend it on computer games.... ;)
