UPS man was kind and brought my MAC Pro package today! 
So time for some swatches of stuff I bought from the Cham Pale collection that released on December 26th!!
MAC Dangerous Cuvée Paint Pot
Description: Frosted cool grey. (LE: Cham Pale)
MAC I Get No Kick Eye Kohl
Description: Metallic nude (LE: Cham Pale)
MAC Retrospeck Eyeshadow
Description: Beached blonde (Lustre, Permanent)
MAC NC15/NW20 Chromagraphic Pencil
Description: A highly pigmented wood-clenched pencil with a firm lead and silky soft application. Use for outlining, defining and drawing. (PRO, Permanent)
Swatching procedure: My skintone is a MAC NW20 (maybe a bit lighter due to it being winter). Retrospeck is applied over Painterly paint pot, so results may be different if applied on bare skin. All photos taken under “natural light” bulbs, which mimic natural daylight.
I Get No Kick currently sold out on MAC’s website, and I can see why! I think it’ll be the perfect eye kohl for brightening and highlighting my eyes (besides my usual NC15/NW20 pencil that I use on my waterline). Tomorrow I might use Dangerous Cuvée for both work and then my NYE look. Very excited to play around with these new products! ‘Bout damn time I got some new MAC 
Retrospeck I use as a highlight color often. For being a lustre finish, it doesn’t get too messy on my face.

Damn, I have a lot of makeup… that I do not use. 
I’m thinking it’s time for a cleaning out sale.
I’m just sitting around the house today, so nothing special. Just felt like having a bit of makeup on. And using some unused stuff.

MAC Cakeshop Shadestick
MAC Hypnotizing Eyeshadow
MAC Retrospeck Eyeshadow

I took some photos, but they looked poo
So finally MAC is releasing a product this year I am actually really excited for. Dangerous Curvee paint pot! Comes out next weekend, and I cannot wait to order it! I’ve been in such a makeup slump for the last 6 months or so, but this excites me.

But I think I managed to salvage it. It was a bit scary for awhile, but a MAC Wipe and tons of blending saved the day. First time using either of these pigments, so I wasn’t expecting Blue Brown to look so red on my skin…

Eh, it has potential.
At least I’m using up some of this stuff I’ve had a year or longer, but have never used. I actually surprised myself last time I was in a MAC store a few weeks ago… (MAC Pro in Las Vegas) I didn’t buy a single thing! All I did was renew my pro card. Quite weird… I walked around, but didn’t see anything I couldn’t live without. Plus it was mad crowded, as it was a Saturday evening, so I think that also influenced my decision not to buy.

It’s MAC most hated eyeshadow formulation… and I gave it lovin’ today. It’s not terrible, except for the glitter bomb that explodes on my face when I apply it…

After about an hour or so of wear the Mulch in my outer V really faded, but it’s still a nice look. Honey Lust is a really pretty color, just wish it didn’t get glitter everywhere.

Sundays are my day off, so I took the chance to do a look I wouldn’t otherwise do, especially for. Decided to give a blue look another chance. I’m STILL finding blues awkward
(Nothing on my face today… just eyes)

MAC Painterly Paint Pot
MAC Fade Eyeshadow
MAC Aquadisiac Eyeshadow

Different I suppose
The last few days of work last week I did this look:
Eyes
MAC Painterly Paint Pot
MAC Woodwinked Eyeshadow
MAC Tempting Eyeshadow
MAC Soft Brown Eyeshadow
MAC Retrospeck Eyeshadow
MAC Vanilla Eyeshadow
I love it! I think it might become my “routine” look for work, maybe with substitutes here and there for some of the colors. It’s quick and easy, and all of those shades easily blend together, so I don’t have to spend a lot of time blending out difficult finishes.

The topic of MAC’s Honey Lust eyeshadow came up last night when I was formspringing my friend… realizing I haven’t used it in literally years (that I can remember), I decided I’d give it a try today. I really loathe that eyeshadow, I really do. It’s just about the only MAC eyeshadow I’ll flat out say I hate. And guess what? Still loathe it. I think I ended up with more fallout all over my face than I did with actual product on my lid… sucks, because it is a pretty color! It’s just a glitterbomb. I suppose I could try applying it wet, but is it worth that amount of effort?!
I paired it with Trax so I could have a look of what seems to be MAC’s two most hated eyeshadows according to people on the forums, heh. Now I do like Trax, so all hope wasn’t lost today!
