MAC in Lillyland

I see tons of pink! I love Lilly! The second collection that was released by MAC may not be as wearable for the masses but this one is supergirly and I fell in love with it on first sight. MAC describes this collection right here, "A collaboration that feels like the best tongue-in-cheek resort retort delivers that joyously bright and refined Key West bloom: new floral patterned Pearlmatte Eye Shadow and Face Powder, plus all the retro-modern colour combinations that Lilly is famous for". Yay! I love this!

Without further ado...

Paint Pot - A highly pigmented eye colour that goes on creamy but dries to an intense, vibrant finish. Long-wearing, colourfast. Creates seamless coverage without weight or caking. Blends smoothly over the lids. Cream-based, can be mixed with MAC shadows and liners.
- Bare Study - soft beige with gold pearl (Frost)
- Rubenesque - golden peach with gold pearl (Frost)
- Fresco Rose - pink with matching pearl (Frost)

Technakohl Liner - A mechanical pencil-style liner. In formula, soft and creamy, with an intense, rich, colour deposit. Blends on application: dries quickly to a long-wear, non-smudge finish. Versatile. An easy way to line the top and lower lash line of the eye. When applied at a 90 degree angle, provides a thin precision line. For thicker application, apply at a flat angle.
- Graphblack - rich graphic black
- Purple Dash - intense aubergine
Pearlmatte Eye Shadow - A powder eye shadow in which matte and pearlized shades combine to create to produce a soft pearl-highlight finish. In this limited edition, three complementary shades from a floral motif inspired by the signature patterns of Lilly Pulitzer. Contains a pink shade, a green shade, and a pale silver shade.

Lipgelee - A soft jelly-textured glosser for the lips. Fab to apply. Squeezes on. Distributes evenly and easily via its special slanted tip. Moisturizes and conditions the lips - saps them up! Makes them look wet, shiny, super-lush! Comes in a wide range of sheer, soft tints!
- Lush & Bright - bright pink yellow coral with pink (Pearl)
- Preppy - blue pink with pink pearl (Pearl)
- Resort Life - Off white with pink pearl (Pearl)
- Shift To Pink - light violet with silver (Pearl)

Cremeblend Blush - A poured cream blush uniquely formulated to bring a natural, softly dewy look to the cheek. Creamy and soft to apply, yet colour, depth, and dimension stay throughout the day. Provides a luxuriously smooth, medium-buildable coverage. May be used on cheeks or lips.
- So Sweet, So Easy - light yellow pink
- Optomistic Orange - bright coral
- Joie-de-Vivre - peachy coral
- Florida - bright fuchsia

Pearlmatte Face Powder - A pressed powder in which matte and pearlized shades combine to produce a soft-pearl highlight finish. In this special limited-edition design, four complementary shades form a floral motif inspired by the signature patterns of Lilly Pulitzer. Contains pink, a pale gold, a burnt orange, and deep brown shades.

Nail Lacquer - Revolutionary new high gloss formula. Three long-wearing finishes - Cream, Sheer, and Frosted. Visibly different. Provides no-streak/no-chip finish. Contains conditioners and UV protection. Go hi-lacquer!
- Coconut Ice - light yellow peach pink (Cream)
- Steamy - hot 'n' steamy pink (Cream)

168 Large Angled Contour Brush - For expert application of cheek contour. This brush is a large angled contour - the fibres form a buffed edge and are soft and firmly bundled. MAC Professional brushes are hand-sculpted and assembled using the finest quality materials. They feature wood handles and nickel-plated brass ferrules.

239 Eye Shader Brush - Soft and dense to shade or blend eye shadow or emollient-based products. This brush has a tapered, rounded edge with smooth, firm, fine fibres. It can be used to build intense colour on the eyelid. MAC Professional brushes are hand-sculpted and assembled using the finest quality materials. They feature wood handles and nickel-plated brass ferrules.

My number one pick from this collection is the Pearlmatte Eye Shadow, which I have included an image of to illustrate the shades and design of. I have the Paint Pot in Bare Study already and it's not my favorite product to work with but I don't hate it as much as I used to. I do love the other two shades that are being promoted with this collection so I may have to put my feelings on the formula aside to purchase these shades. I want the Lip Gelee in Preppy and Shift to Pink, I haven't seen these colors yet but I have heard from other beauty bloggers that they are very sparkly and should be very fun and springy. I also want the So Sweet, So Easy Cremeblend blush and hopefully this will become a permanent product for MAC since this shade looks perfect and I love the use of both cheeks and lips formula. To finish this collection list off, I want the Coconut Ice Nail Lacquer.

Lilly Pulitzer and Spring!
