MAC Spring Colour Forecast 2

The second installment of the Spring Colour Forecast is the coral based part of the collection. This grouping is much warmer and most likely will not be for me but I will keep an open mind and look at the whole collection. "If it's tawny, sensuous, glowing. It's CORAL. Pick a mood, decide on a demeanour, then mix it up for a fervent flash of authentic emotion! Find your forecast, pursue your passion with four vivid, sensual colour ways designed to capture the season in MAC style."

Time for the corals...

Eye Shadow - Highly pigmented powder. Applies evenly, blends well.

- Nanogold - sheer yellow beige with pink pearl (Lustre)

- Straw Fighting - frosty light yellow orange (Veluxe Pearl)

- Perky - Light salmon pink (Satin)

- Hot, Hot, Hot - mid-tone coral (Satin)

Crush Metal Pigment: Stacked 2! - Crush Metal Pigment in a shade wave of four stackable jars, specially selected for the Spring Colour Forecast collection. Provides intense colour payoff and medium coverage with highly reflective metallic sparkle. Creamy, crease-resistant. Long-wearing. Limited edition. Contains the following shades: pale gilded beige, yellow gold, green gold, and copper gold.

Plush Lash - A mascara formulated to instantly plump up lashes for extreme voluptuous effect. Works fast. Builds volume smoothly and evenly from root to tip. Delivers a silky, flexible, full fan of lashes. Fluid formula lightly coats lashes one layer at a time without smearing, smudging, or clumping. Goes on via an innovative, specially patented wand with a v-shaped groove that prunes the bristles on one side while leaving the other side full and lush. The short bristles coax the lashes upward to an extraordinarily sophisticated yet flirtatious curl, while the other side separates and combs the lashes root-to-tip creating a long, well-defined glamour lash. Volumizing, lengthening, curling, lifting. This mascara features everything you want, with all the top mascara no's: no clumping, spiking, smudging, or flaking.

- Plushblack - black

Lipstick - Colour plus texture for the lips. Stands out on the runway. Simmers on the street! What made MAC famous.

- Colour Me Coral - frosted light coral (Frost)

- Victorian - frosted light golden pink (Frost)

- Fresh Salmon - sheer bright pink orange (Lustre)

- Rose Maiden - frosted bright berry (Frost)

Tinted Lipglass - A unique lip gloss available in a wide variety of colours that can create a high gloss, glass-like finish or a subtle sheen. Designed to be worn on its own, over Lip Pencil or Lipstick, Tinted Lipglass is the perfect product for creating shine that lasts. It's pigmented, very shiny, and can impart subtle or dramatic colour. It contains Jojoba Oil to help soften and condition the lips. Tinted Lipglass is packaged in a convenient bottle with a sponge tip applicator that provides a quick, smooth, even application.

- Ember Glow - creamy light apricot (Cream)

- Kumquat - frosty tangerine (Frost)

- Cha Cha - mid-tone pink with gold pearl (Frost)

Blush Ombre - A powder blush featuring a shade wave of gentle ombre hues. Ultra-fine formula provides the cheeks with flawless, medium-buildable coverage and lightly pearled, natural-looking radiance.

- Ripe Peach - light coral

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!

- Malibu Peach - bright creamy tangerine (Cream)

Creations: MV2 - Cool, calm, and classic. Vanilla teased with lemon, melted with lavender creme, and then given a warming shot of vanilla bourbon mixed with vanilla mousse and heliotrope.

I like a couple pieces from this collection but overall this one isn't my favorite. I like the eye products the best, I want the Eye Shadow in Nanogold and the Crushed Metal Pigment set. None of the lip colors are really for me, but I would like to try a peachier shade of blush. The only peachy shade that I currently own is NARS orgasm but I want to see how I look in a true peach with no shimmer. I don't really know what I feel about the Creations from this collection, I normally don't wear many vanilla fragrances and this one sounds as though it would be one that I would be putting away for next winter.
