MAC Style Black Collection - Haul and Swatches

Hi Bellas!

On Thursday I checked out the MAC style black collection. I really liked it! Finally something different! I picked up quite a few items. The collection may seem a bit intimidating to some, but a lot of these colors are very wearable if you layer them with other products. And for those of you who have a flair for the dramatic, this is for you!

Check out my video haul and mini review!


Here are the swatches! I forgot to swatch Penultimate Liquid liner but it's a typical pen liquid liner that goes on black.


Out of the two black lipsticks, I picked up the creamsheen since I don't use my matteens very often. I didn't have a black lippie in my collection unless you count my OCC black lip tar. You can wear this as a base for another lipstick to give intense color or even go for a goth halloween look. Not a must have though.


I love when MAC comes out with new products like this Greasepaint stick. It's a lot of fun to work with...it's like a shadestick but a lot more intense. I like the color on this one, it's a deep purple with like shimmer. Use this under the mineral eyeshadows for a pop of color.


Out of the glimmerglasses I picked up 2 of the 3. The one on the left, Blackware, would look super chic over a plum colored lipstick to dress it up a bit. The one on the right looks amazing over a red lipstick. Check out my video to see what it looks like. On their own they just look like a gray gloss so these are better paired over another product.


These Mineralized Eyeshadows were a pleasant surprise in the collection. They are intensely pigmented and give an intense glitter effect. I kind of want to go back for the other 2 colors I didn't get!


Cream colour bases can be used in many ways. If you use this as an eye base, make sure to wear another base underneath because these do oil up.


The final look! This is my RockStar smudgy, messy look...it's supposed to be the "I don't care cuz I'm cool look, lol". It's a pretty effortless look that takes 10 minutes to do for the entire face. FYI, I wore this look the entire day and noticed that the greasepaint stick does smear on its own...so it's best to wear a base with it.
