MAC Star Trek Collection (Aug 25/Sep 1, 2016)

[patentg33k]

Somebody posted a review and swatches on YT. I think I like items from this collection but not must haves.

Thank you--the video swatches at about 15:30 are really helpful.

The Fantastic Powders --- the new becca blush/highlighters crossed my mind as potential competitors for these (except maybe Luna Lust which is too light for a blush). What worries me from these swatches is whether the MAC has a smooth texture, and I'm not going to know that till I see them in person and use them with my own brushes.

This Vlogger is wearing Luna Lust and it looks great on her (fair skin) and her swatches of Strange New Worlds look good too. Her swatches make the Light Fantastic powders look much more smooth (compared to Mack0holic's, where I'm seeing more a more powdery texture).

I think I'll try for the powders, but not stress out or stalk for them.

this whole collection looks so disappointing. if it were star wars (which I love) I would be crazy mad rn. will probably only get one powder and call it.

It's truth. I want only two Highlighter - Highly Illogical and Luna Lustre. And MAYBE one lipstick - Kling-It-On or Where No Man Has Gone Before.

I want Khaaaan, Warp Speed Ahead and Highly Illogical!

I got a few of these items from PR yesterday and got my blog post up late last night (man I'm exhausted at work). It's not everything, but hopefully some of the swatches and face shots will help:

The LLAP frost lipstick is INCREDIBLE by the way. I wasn't expecting it to be so amazing, but man is it ever gorgeous. (Revelist's shots look a lot more gold than mine, but on me it was definitely more of a rose gold.)

I've never really been into any of MAC's pop culture collections but I adore Star Trek and for once found myself excited. Unfortunately a lot of what I'm seeing doesn't appeal to me. Maybe one of the face powders or the silver eyeliner. But it's not love.

Literally counting the days until this comes out.

Got a sample of LLAP, it kinda scares me but looks so pretty in the tube (Rose gold, yum). Gonna do some comparisons to for instance the Mariah Carey one which seems to be in a similar tone and finish.

After all the matte hype, we are not used to see ourselves wearing frosty lips. I don't think it is the most flattering look anyway as it can quickly turn from high fashion to just cheap.

I mean, I dont really mind "out of my comfort zone"-stuff (I am wearing purple lipstick in my avatar and loving it) but frosts can so easily go from classy to tacky, depending on skintone and the actual color. Excited to try it though, it's definitely unlike anything else I have.

Okay I have some pictures and a teeny tiny review for you on LLAP. I was quite surprised with how it looked when I had it on my lips in comparison to what it looks like in the tube and swatched on my arm. It looks like a high-shine MLBB without being robot-metallic-lips (Although I did put quite alot on). It was comfortable on the lips but didnt have a crazy long weartime, I got maybe 4 hours of wear before I had to put more on.

The first swatch picture is one swipe vs. several swipes. The second swatch picture (And the one with two lipsticks next to eachother) is Mac LLAP vs. Mac All I Want (Mariah Carey). And then there's some face pic and a closeup of my lips so you can see it closeup. HTH!

I think I'm going to get Luna Lister, the Naked Time, and Bird of Prey. I have to ask my mom what she wants, she loves Star Trek but these aren't really her colors so I don't know what to get her lol

I grew up seeing the women in my family wear brown, gold, orange, and frosty lipsticks so I'm glad everyone else is finally coming around haha. On fairer skin tones these shades might take some extra work, but I'm all about it! I do wonder if the matte trend will come back as we move into vampy fall colors.

Next week ladies and gents! I think I've decided on just the powders and shadows. Maybe a lipstick though I'm not sure which at this point.
