Are you sick of it yet? :- MAC Style Black Spoils
Saturday, October 17, 2009 at 1:57PM It's saturday. Oooooh ooooooooo! How you guys doing today? I hope you are blessed!
I almost didn't blog about my Style Black stuff. This collection was EVERYWHERE. If you follow more than 5 blogs the chances are you've heard everything there is to hear about it and well as seen all the swatches of this stuff. Sooooo no swatches. This is what I got...

Black Greasepaint Stick
Midnight Violet Mattene
This collection is, for me, the best MAC collection this year. The eyeshadows are MINT! Would have been nice to have a green one and a red one too! They are very special and Mac did well with these. However I believe that the eyeshadows are quite limited in what you can do with them in certain capacities.
Hear me out.
I am all for the smokey eye. I love it. Completely. However these eyeshadows restrict you to have the colour on the eyelid and then just smoking it out. 9 times out of 10 the looks that I've seen from style black are pretty similar and that for me is a bit of a bummer. I fall into the same category. I, too, have not figured out how to wear them differently. Please do direct me to ones that are quite different if you know of any. I'd love to see them.
You can't really use these eyeshadows for crease colours....swatched dry they hardly show up. And good luck to you if you're gonna try and blend them wet. It's quite a mission to accomplish if you still want to keep the sparkle, opacity and smooth coverage all in one. So whilst I love the eyeshadows [and love them I do!] room for creativity is kinda limited. At least in my opinion.
Midnight Violet is so beautiful. I love this colour. Worn it a few times and everytime I get compliments time and time again. I think because I don't have issues wearing bright or bold colours it never occurred to me that this was a dark lipstick....I just wore it and liked it. It's certainly a lot lighter than I thought but that's not a bad thing.
Greasepaint stick. Oh my days. I know some people aren't keen on it because it dries so quickly but I love this thing!!! I know that there are 101 other black bases out there but this one for me is special. It does not move. It grabs incredibly well and works with a large variety of pigments. I've tried it with Barry M, Sleek, Stargazer, Clinique, Bobby Brown and even Collection 2000. For me, this little stick is totally worth it.
Now the rest of the collection I could pass on. The glosses....waste of money in my opinion. You could dupe them with other glosses. Nailpolish...not too bothered with my nails....I did want the 214 brush but it was sold out at my local counter...the other lipsticks, got Barry M for that... The facial stuff that a lot of people loved...I just wasn't feeling it. It bugs me that it's LE in the first place and I'm quite happy with the exfoliators etc that I have already.
I'm thinking of re-doing my blog set up. Thinking about moving over to wordpress. I like their style. Anyone on wordpress here? If so what are your opinions on Wordpress?
And now for the FOTD which is so not style black related but thought you might like to see.... :)
