wearing Heritage Rouge Pigment and reflects Gold glitter from the MAC Nutcracker sweet Gold Pigments and glitter set on my eyes; Magic dust Powder in sweet Vision on my cheeks and MAC Matte Lipstick in leap of delight on my lips, all from the MAC Nutcracker sweet Collection
Baby love, the times, they are a-changin’, because for once I think I might actually be able to finish an entire jar of MAC Pigment. In my entire history of wearing MAC, I’ve never finished a jar.

You know that they’re big, right? They’re HUGE, but these minis are actually bite-sized and handleable.

ANNUNCIO

There are two pigment and glitter sets in the new MAC Nutcracker sweet holiday collection, along with a bunch of other sets. one of them has a bronze theme, and the other one gold, but both sets are super cute.

If you don’t know anything about the MAC Pigments, basically, in a nutshell, they’re loose, concentrated eyeshadows and glitters, which, on the one hand, are terrific if you want big, flashy “Oh, hi there, look a me!” eyes that practically beam from across the room, but on the other hand, they’re messy.

That’s the main reason I don’t use them often… The permanent collection jars have a wide mouth, and FOOF! — I’m always tipping them over and getting glitter in my brows, my ear, my bra. È un casino.

But these mini jars have a smaller mouth, which makes them easier to handle. I just tap a little on a paper towel and pick it up from the towel with my brush, and if there’s any left over, I kind of scoot it back into the jar.

So, in the process of doing the look I’m wearing in these pics (I’m wearing the sweet Gold kit, BTW), I discovered that my new favorite thing in the whole wide world is inner corner glitter. It is basically the sh*t.

As a glitter person, I usually like to just splash it all over my eyes, but if you take a little of the glitter (here I’m wearing Gold Reflects, the gold glitter from the gold kit), pick it up with a wet brush (something like MAC fix +), and concentrate most of it in the inner corner and fade that out as you move toward the center of your lid, I think it looks really cool.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think it completely distracts from my dark circles while still being flashy and fun.

Between these two kits, I recognize several of the colors in the Gold kit, like Gold reflects glitter and Heritage Rouge, from the permanent line, but I don’t recognize anything in the Bronze kit, so if you’re looking for something more exclusive and unique, the Bronze kit might be the one to pick up.

Packaging-wise, both are SO Instagrammable. Like, I’m opening these drawers back and forth and thinking, “How am I gonna Boomarang this?” They’re very cute.

It’s hard to pick a favorite between the two… You know me — neutrals girl, and the Bronze kit has all of these wearable neutrals that you can just throw on with black cat liner and lashes, and bam! — you’re good, but I really love the Gold one because purplish red Heritage Rouge is bomb and looks terrific with gold glitter or liner.

There’s something about gold and that dark reddish purple that’s just so rich and festive and holiday to me.

I’m having a party working my way through these MAC holiday kits and sets. I hope the next ones are just as amazing as these two.

I have a new theme song

Have you been enjoying Luke Cage on Netflix? That show… It’s stylistically interesting, and I think the character development is great. Yes, it’s superheroes, so it helps if you’re into that, but it’s really interessupereroi di ting.

Durante gli episodi, c’è questo personaggio che assomiglia a Wesley Snipes, e so che non è Wesley Snipes, ma continuo a chiamarlo Wesley Snipes.

Ad ogni modo, possiede un club, e si siede lì nel suo club che godono dei performanti provati. Bene, gli artisti sono veri artisti. Come, Faith Evans era in un episodio recente, e questo ragazzo che non avevo mai sentito prima di nome Jidenna. Ha fatto una performance chiamata lunga vita dal capo.

Ho avuto un paio di settimane difficili (nessun grosso problema), ma al mattino ho messo questa canzone. I testi sono espliciti, quindi non lo ascolto con bambini piccoli in giro, ma la manovra ogni mattina nelle mie cuffie e ballano in giro come un pazzo nel mio ufficio.

Aiuta! Mi sento come un brutto pulcino SS quando lo sento. Mi fa sentire come se potessi nuotare il canale inglese nei miei skivvies.
