Final Tartan Tale Swatches!


Despite the fact I'm sure most of you have already seen Mac Tartan Tale swatches here are mine from the items I purchased/received from the collection! And what an awesome collection it was!
The Faerie Glen Lipstick

The Faerie Glen lipstick (Top), Courting Lilac lipstick (Bottom)
The Faerie Glen, Courting Lilac
Both of these lipsticks are awesome! Courting Lilac is a Glaze but has quite a bit of pigment to it. It also has a lovely gold sparkle through out it that really adds some depth. It's quickly become my go to purple lipstick to finish off purple looks. The Faerie Glen is just as good in a completely different way. The best nude I've ever found for my complexion, and a Lustre finish. This is a brown based nude which doesn't look that nice swatched or on its own, but when it reacts with the red in my lips I get the most lovely nude. So happy as I truly thought I'd never find a nice subtle lipstick. 
The Faerie Glen Lipstick 
See how it doesn't make me look dead? I've still got some colour to my lips but just less. Yay!
Sir Teddy Mini (Key Fob)
I also caved and got the adorable mini Sir Teddy. He was just too cute to resist and all the money went to helping kids.

6 Beauties Play it Cool Palette
The one thing I wasn't expecting about this palette was how dark all the colours swatched. The only one that doesn't swatch dark is the silver-purple called Silverwear.
6 Beauties Play it Cool Swatches T-B: Silverwear, Hold My Gaze,  To The Ball,
Altered State, Magic Moor, Heather Belles
The two lighter coloured ones tend to look quite dark on the lid which was surprising (Hold My Gaze, To The Ball) but I do still like the palette, I just need other colour purples to work with it.
Look done with Courting Lilac Lipstick, 6 Beauties Play it Cool Palette and UD Asphyxia e/s

Tartan Tale Display Pictures and Swatches

The Whole Display


This is the last of the Tartan Tale posts (until I haul of course!) but I've got photos galore for you! Display pictures, detailed product photos and swatches abound (on both darker and lighter skin tones so you can get a good idea on what they look like on you!) Many many thanks go to Shontay and Erin on Specktra for all their help and the photos!

 The eyeshadows from this collection are really unique. Not only do they have a Tartan pattern imprinted into them the coloured stripes in the shadow go all the way through the shadow. According to British Beauty Blogger, these coloured stripes are made with a patented flocking process using pre-dyed nylon threads which are then laid into patterns, in this case Tartan. Supposably this is the first time this has been done in the beauty industry, and I'm curious as to how this will work in reality. Will the stripes give off colour, or just look pretty? (I'm personally okay with either though extra colour would be a bonus :D)
