MAC Moody Blooms

Hi Angels,

Sorry we've been MIA for a bit. One of our Pretty Prescribers had a little Angel. We were busy trying to bottle that smell newborn babies come with.  LOL.  It didn't work out...Thank God MAC always keeps us busy.  

Last Thursday MAC released Moody Blooms. This is the promo pic courtesy of maccosmetics.com.
Here is how the brand describes this collection:
Exotic, night-blooming flowers with a hint of danger inspire a hothouse of seductive shades. Sensual colours shroud eyes in earthy metallic Eye Shadows and lips suggest hidden motives with deep blue plum and dark berry hues of Sheen Supreme Lipstick. Bronze Powder Blush provides a final adrenaline surge before these beauties dissolve into the night.

Sounds nice right?  Here is a pic one of our Pretty Prescribers was able to snag just before the release day.

Here are some quick swatches of the sheen supreme lipsticks that were taken courtesy of the Pretty Prescription on NW43 skin.

MAC Sharon Osbourne Collection

Hi Angels,

On the twelfth of June MAC released the Osbourne collection in stores.  I reviewed Kelly's collection earlier.  Now I am back with Sharon Osbourne's half of the collection. 

I was fortunate enough to stop by the mall on the release date.  Here is a picture of Sharon's collection :

The lipliner is missing because I had it in my hands.  LOL.  Unlike Kelly's collection, Sharon's is warmer and can be worn by almost anyone.  It consists of four patent polishes (all red packaging and signed) in the upper left hand and right hand corner. The are shiny lippolishes with great staying power. The colors are innocent(glossy taupe),patent pink(neutral pink),french kiss(coffee brown)and ruby(a dark plummy red).  

The next row are the lipglasses.  From left to right is pussywillow (creamy nude with high shine) and bijou(muted pink).  

In between the lipglasses is the eyeshadow quad called Duchess.  From too left to right Femme Fatale(golden brown satin), Embark(Dark reddish brown matte),Sexy Eyes (soft warm bronze), Sweet Eyes(light golden nude) .While it is a nice warm palette, I passed.  If you are looking for one, it is a must buy.

Sharon's collection also contains a mineralize Skinfinish and a blush.  The MSF is called Refresh(light summer peach with a light golden tan) and Peaches and Cream(a mid tone rose with a satin finish).

The eye pencil is Bountiful Brown(a bronzed brown).  It is part of the permanent collection.  The lip pencil which I purchased is cranberry( it is a soft yellow pink).  

The last part of the collection are the special edition brushes.  They are the 275se on the left(medium angle shading) and the 167se (face blender).  

The collection is very popular and availability changes everyday.  You may purchase these items at your favorite MAC counter, maccosmetics.com, Nordstrom, Macy's,  Dillards's and Bloomingdales.

So Angels, have we purchased anything from this collection? What are your thoughts?  Let us know...

Until next time Angels,
Happy Haulin'

Released: MAC Kelly Osbourne

Hi Angels,

I f you can remember a little while ago we told you about the upcoming MAC Osbourne Collection.  Well the collection was released Monday on Maccosmetics.com and it is flying off the shelves.  It will be released in stores on the 12th so be on the lookout.  

In the meantime, shall we look at the gorgeous pics? (all courtesy of Maccosmetics.com).  If I get to the release in stores on time I will add my own pics.  In the meantime check out the Osbourne ladies serving face.

Kelly better worrrrrrrkkkkk!!!!!  You know Ms. Sharon was not to be outdone.  Here she is below: (we will look at her items in a separate post)

Can we all gorge!!!!!  Now on to the makeup that I must say was tailormade to each ladies skintone and hair color perfectly.  So if you are a match in anyway you have hit the jackpot.  

Now onto each collection...let us begin with Kelly's collection.  Pictured below is her eyeshadow quad called Bloody Brilliant.
From top left to right: Spoonful of Sugar(sparkling platinum) and aTickety Boo(muted plum brown).
From bottom left to right: Fizzy Rose(pale lilac) and Shadowy Lady(a blackened plum).  The shadows come encased in a pretty lilac palette with Kelly's signature in red. The price is $44.00.  All in all it looks like a cute palette.  It reminds me of Spring Forecast's purple eyeshadow palette from a few years back.

As I have told you all in past posts, I am a brow junkie.  By the looks of Ms. Kelly's next item, so is she.  The next pic is of Kelly's brow duo called Morning Mr. Magpie. 

The shadows used are Soba and Brun.  They are of a satin finish and are used to fill in the brows.  In the limited edition signed palette this is priced at $22.00.

The Kelly Jumbo Pentulmate is the next pretty piece. In the collection's signed purple shell you will find Rapidblack which is a deep dark black liner.  It is priced at $22.00.  Here it is below:

Kelly's beautifully lined lids are also lined by her own kohl.  It is called Kelly's eye Khol.  Smolder(black) is reintroduced to us in the pretty packaging for $17.50.  It is currently sold out on maccosmetics.com.  Have a look :

Our next pretty is one of the sold out items.  It it the Kelly lip pencil.  In Synch is given a makeover in the special packaging for $16.50.  Take a look below and if you like it try to purchase it at your neighborhood counter. 

The next Kelly item flew off the website. It is the lipsticks.  If anyone knows Kelly, she is serious about her lipstick.  She cried when she couldn't find another Candy Yum Yum.  Look at these pretties:

Strip Poker (matte)

Riot House (matte)

Kelly Yum Yum (satin). So fitting!

Dodgy Girl (matte)

I am a pink girl so I will definitely swatch Kelly Yum Yum.  I would've preferred it in a matte finish.  But who knows...the other three will look stunning on paper beauties.  Kelly must look stunning with dodgy girl.  

We will now look at Kelly's mineralize skinfinish.  It is called Jolly Good.  It is double sided with mineralize light cool beige and pink.  It is $33.00 and currently sold out online.  Here it is pictured below:

There is also a blush in this collection called Cheeky Bugger.  It is a matte rosy pink pictured below.  It is priced at $22.00 and is also sold out at maccosmetics.com.  Feast your eyes on Cheeky Bugger.

The last two items in this collection are brushes.  They are both currently sold out online.  The first is the 219se pencil brush.  This se brushes are smaller than your regular brushes and are machine made.  It is for your crease and smudging eyeliner in the lower lash line.  It has the pretty light purple handle and signature.  It retails for $27.50. Here is the pic:

The second brush is also a short end and retails for $58.00.  It is the 183se flat buffer.  It makes buffing powders and bronzer a snap.  It also has the pretty purple handle and signature.

So Angels, what do you think about Kelly's collection?  Were you a part of the luck few that bought the most popular items?  Are you going to the store launches?  Let us know what you did and what you thought?  I'll be back with Sharon's half later on.

Until next time Angels

MAC Maleficent

Hello Angels,

I am back with a peak at one of MAC's newer collection. It is MAC Maleficent.  This collection has been in the making for years.  There was a collection released called Venomous Villains a few years ago.  The Maleficent items sold out the fastest.   She is my favorite of all the Disney villains.  I mean how are you evil, fierce and beat!  LOL. 

This is released just before the movie starring Angelina Jolie.  She is also the face of the MAC collection.  If you haven't seen the commercials for the movie, here is the collection photo:

This photo does not even show the special effects and crazy contouring.  The collection is small and does not contain any bright colors.  The makeup has a Maleficent design and does not qualify for the pro discount.

Here is the makeup courtesy of maccosmetics.com.
The eyeshadow quad:($44.00)


The colors are composed of some MAC regulars such as Carbon, Goldmine and Concrete.  Browndown is seen so often at MAC that it might as well be permanent if it isn't.  If you are not able to snatch up the palette, you can build a palette with three of the four colors.  Colors such as Saddle can serve as the brown.  This is a good starter palette for those who are new to makeup and even for those that want a travel palette full of staples.

Next we have the Maleficent  Pentulmate Eyeliner in Rapidblack:($21.50)
This is perfect for that Angelina cat eye in the blackest of black.  Use the very tip for a thin line and more of the body for a thicker line on your upper lid.


Next we have Maleficent Eyebrows in Fling. ($17.50)  This is the perfect color for someone with light eyebrows.  This is also part of the permanent collection as well as some great other colors. 


Next we have MAC lashes with the Maleficent design on the package. These are the 30 lash which are individuals.  They are to be added for fullness or just at the corner for a little drama.  They are $17.50.

Next we have the Maleficent 36 lash for $17.50.  It also has the Maleficent design on the box.  It is a perfectly shaped lash that can be reused if properly cared for.

The Maleficent  pro longwear lipgloss is a beautiful red gloss that can be worn alone or over the lipstick.  ($22.00) With the pro longwear formula it will last throughout the day:

The collection also boasts a gorgeous red lipstick in the amplified formula.  It is called True Love's Kiss.  This is a red with blue undertones.  It is great for a variety of skin tones.  It is currently sold out online at Maccosmetics. The price for this beauty is $17.50.  Here it is below:


There is a Maleficent pro longwear lipliner called Kiss me Quick.  It is a beautiful yellow-red that compliments the lipstick and lipgloss.  The lip pencil has the Maleficent packaging.  It is priced at $21.50.

This collection would not be complete without a Beauty Powder.  The Maleficent Beauty Powder in Natural is a soft peachy-pink.  This would be best suited for those with lighter skin tones as a blush,highlight or all over powder.  It is $30.00.  I see this being a must have for  those that can wear it. 


A prep and prime highlighter will give you in pen form will give you a sheer wash if color with radiance.  This color's collection is Bright Forecast.  It is priced at $25.00.

 
The Maleficent sculpting powder is a pro powder called sculpt.  With the promise of achieving Angelina Jolie cheekbones, I can see why it is sold out.   It is also in  Maleficent packaging.  The price is $23.00.

 
The last item is the Maleficent nail polish priced at $17.50.  It also has the Maleficent design.  The nail polish comes in three shades.  They are:

Uninvited (nude with shimmer)
 
And
Flaming Rose (fiery red)

Last but not least is
Nocturnelle (true black)

I think this collection is chock full of standards.  Some products are not for everyone.  This is definitely a pale beauty's dream come true.  If you are a collector this is also a must have.  The packaging is gorge and different.  Consider it a momento and remember how fierce Angelina Jolie looked in the movie. You can purchase these items at MAC stores, Maccosmetics.com as well Macy's, Nordstrom, Bloomie'a and Dillard's.

So what do we think Angels?  Are you going to buy anything?  Is there something that has caught your eye?  Let us know what you think....

Until next time

Urban Decay Naked Palette 3 Review and Swatches


Hi Angels!

On December 12th the third Naked Palette was released at your local Sephora, Ulta and Macy's department stores.  I snagged mine online as soon as it was available.  

This palette is described as a Rosey neutral.  That is the main difference between this and the other palettes.  
Stock photo here: 



Naked Palette 1 is a bronze based neutral palette.  It is great for those with skin that has warm tones.  It is seen here:

Naked Palette 2 is a Taupe based neutral palette.  It contained more matte colors as well.  I think this is best for people with cool tones.  Here is a pic of Naked Palette 2:


Now that we have been refreshed about the older palettes, let's look at Naked Palette 3.  Here is my palette:




These are the colors from left to right.
1. Strange-matte beige with a pearl sheen.
2. Dust- light pink frost
3. Burnout-pink shimmer 
4. Limit-matte nude pink
5. Buzz-medium nude pink frost
6. Trick- frosty rose gold
7. Nooner-medium matte rosy brown 
8. Liar-copper shimmer
9. Factory- deep copperyshimmer
10. Mugshot- shimmery taupe
11.Darkside-dark grey taupe
12. Black heart-a matte black with cranberry sparkle.

Here are the swatches on NW 43 skin:

With flash-

Without flash-

Here are the swatches by four:
Left to right-Strange, Dust, Burnout, Limit

Buzz, Trick, Nooner, Liar


Factory, Mugshot,Darkside,Blackheart


So what do I think?  Well if you have seen  my review of the LORAC unzipped palette then you know this us right up my alley.  This is chock full of beautiful warm neutrals that can be worn everyday.  It is housed in an easy travel case with a double ended brush.  Angels, don't walk, run and get this A.S.A.P.  It compliments the other palettes very well.  I've been asked a lot about whether or not it's worth it to get this palette if you have either of the other two.  My opinion is that this palette contains enough unique colors from the first two to be worth your money.  Take Naked Palette 2 & 3 or 1& 3  on a getaway to have all your bases covered. 

I hope this has been helpful to you.  Let us know if you have bought the palette or intend to get it!   

Until next time Angels,
Happy Haulin'!

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette

Hi Angels,

Psssssst, come in close.  I have some news for you.  One of our favorite brands, Urban Decay is coming out with a new palette.  It is Naked 3.  That is all the info you will find on Urban Decay.  This is on their website:


Luckily I am up at the wee hours of the morning and able to some snooping.  Looks like Sephora in France made a faux pas and released the palette early.  So some French bloggers have the palette already.  Gasp and sad face.


Here is a pic I was able to find:

Credit: http://www.natacha-birds.fr/leblog/naked3-urban-decay/

They got on the good foot and made a warm palette with rosy tones.  Looks even warmer than my LORAC Unzipped palette which I love.  And since I don't have Naked 2, Naked 3 will be mine.  It will be available at the end of the month on Urban Decay's website.  Sephora, Ulta and Macy's should get in time for the Holidays.

Are you getting this palette?  Let us know if you will and when you do.  

Until next time Angels

Urban Decay Vice Palette 2

Hello Angels,

I am afraid I have to apologize to you. I realize I bought the Urban Decay Vice Palette and I didn't give you all a review.  

Pssssst, that's not all. Come closer.  Urban Decay has just released Vice 2.  It contains 20 new colors for all us makeup junkies.  Here's a pic for you:
If it is anything like the first one, the shadows are pigmented with great color payoff.  I look forward to taking a look and swatching the shades.  I will review it  if I decide to buy it.  You can purchase it at your local Macy's, Ulta or sephora.  It can of course be purchased at Urban Decay.com.

Let me know if you see it, like it or better yet , buy it.

Until next time
Happy Haulin'
