It wasn’t until I looked through my iPhone photo gallery
that I realised how often I use my MAC collection. The bits and pieces I’ve
picked up over the years seem to have accumulated into a rather sizeable stash,
and some of the limited edition items I’ve procured have remained staples in my
collection, often outshining other brands and products when I drowsily select
my face for the day before my coffee each morning. Some of the permanent shades
are well loved (holla at ya Girl About
Town lipstick…) and some of the limited edition stash are just too good
to be forgotten.
Of the many limited edition collections churned out by the
mega-brand, the Disney collection is probably one of the most memorable in the
beauty community. I actually bought the Disney
Villains Bite of an Apple
blush from a blog sale and the scarily bright coral-red shade is right up my
alley. The matte finish isn’t that flat on the face and actually seems like a
satin one it hits the cheek, and I love the way it ties in with my limited
edition lip shade…
As many of you might know, the Viva Glam lipstick campaign raises money for HIV/AIDS fund
for MAC. I was happy to throw my money at Viva
Glam Cyndi a few years back, which was championed at the time by Cyndi Lauper. This is one of
those shades that I really regret not nabbing backups for, and every time I
read a Viva Glam post I hold my breath in hopes of a re-release scenario. Akin
to the aforementioned blush, this is a coral-red shade that is juicy, fades
evenly and flatters my (in my humble opinion) to no end. A mention of how much
I hate the nature of limited edition collections wouldn’t go astray here…
One of my very favourite MAC collections would have to be
the 2012 Hey Sailor launch, not only for the beautiful imagery and packaging but for the pure
beauty that is my Jaunty eyeshadow. A shimmery light beige shade, this is the
perfect all over lid colour for me and is something I return to time and time
again for a beautiful and effortless eye look (here is my original post on it!) I love pairing it with MAC
Coquette in the crease (best crease shade ever!) and I find that it is simple
but flattering, especially when paired with a brighter lip colour.

What limited edition products would you love to bring back?
Are you a MAC lover, or think they're overrated?
