One of the Kissable Lipcolours were already sold out! |
I'm sure most of you know that the Peacocky collection has been released into stores this week! I Went yesterday, the day after the release of the collection and was able to play for a good 15 minutes as well as take pictures and swatch to my heart's content. Yay for the super friendly Mac Artists!
I love the layout of this collection like a Peacock with it's tail feathers spread, I think that's really creative! I only bought four items but I wanted so many more! There was just so many wonderful highly pigmented colours in this collection! The only thing I was disappointed in was the Peak-at-You eyeshadow. It lacked pigmentation and sheen. Other than that I loved the formula of both the Mega Metal Shadows and the Kissable Lip Colours but more on that later! Here's a closer look at the eyeshadows.

And a couple of eyeshadow swatches from colours that interested me! I kept getting distracted by different colours I loved so much that I never got around to swatching all the eyeshadow colours but here is a bunch of Mega Metal eyeshadow swatches. Enjoy!

Top- Bottom L: Tweet Me, Dalliance, Prance
R: Soft Force |
See how invisible Peak-at-You is? So disappointing! And that was two swatches of colour compared to the one swatch I needed for the left colours! You can barely see it!

In other swatches of this I thought it was a lovely Indigo colour somewhere between blue and purple but in real life it looks like the photo above a denim blue colour so I was a bit disappointed. Lovely blue just not what I thought it was going to be.

Unflappable |
I kept hearing things about Unflappable. That it was so unique and special. To be honest I didn't think so. Great pigmentation but to me it just looked like a neutral dark brown.
Next up is the Kissable Lip Colours which I did swatch all of the available ones for you all! Missing is Exxhibitionist.

L-R: Woo Me, So Vain, Temper Tantra, Peacocky, Super |

L-R: Love Peck, Strut Your Stuff, Scandelicious (More Raspberry in real life), Vanity Fair, Flaunting It, Enchantee |
The formula on these lip colours is amazing! I love the silky and moisturizing feeling that they go on with, no stickyness AT ALL! They then dry down a bit to a drier more longer lasting finish. And you need so little to get major colour pay off! Love Peck looks almost black here but when sheered out onto the lips it becomes a lovely dark berry shade. I highly recommend these if you see a shade you like! I know I want more than just the two I bought! The nice bit about the darker colours is that they stain you lips as well so even if you eat you still have a light stain of colour left over! Wonderful!
Comparisons! I've got a couple comparisons between the colours to other brand shades or other Mac shades. Hopefully this is useful to some of you!
The Kissable Lip Colours I purchased were Love Peck and Peacocky. The two eyeshadows are Dalliance and Spectacle of Yourself. I'll post lip swatches of the colours in a couple of days.

What does everyone think? Great collection in my opinion!
Great post :) I really like the Love Peck, might have to get it! But the Peacocky... am I blind or is that blue? Does it come out blue on your lips? Just thinking, because I would really like to see the looks on my family's faces if I'd show up with blue lips! Thanks for the swatches ;)
ReplyDelete@ Gudrun- I actually bought both! And yes it shows up Blue on your lips! I'll post lip pictures in the next few days as both are rather impressive! The formula is great on them!
ReplyDeleteDalliance speaks to the nudist side of me. BTW, left you a bloggy award: http://maquillageobscura.blogspot.com/2011/01/bloggy-award.html
ReplyDelete@ Olivia I am loving Dalliance it's such a beautiful colour especially on! Thanks so much for the award! I really appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteTweet me looks fab! Is it similar in color to mac's rubenesque paint pot?
ReplyDelete@ Anonymous: Yes Tweet Me is somewhere between Rubenesque and Melon pigment :D Hope that helps!
