In her package to me, she included this lovely eyeshadow by MAC in Hey. When I saw it, I immediately thought about Stila's Kitten.
( Stila Kitten on left and MAC Hey on right)Once I swatched it, I was pleasantly surprised that it was not the same. Kitten is a bit too shimmery for me.

Sorry for the duplicate photo - just wanted to show you how it looks in different lighting. The top photo is indoors, just regular lighting. The bottom one is also indoors, but by the window.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this eyeshadow. I'm not big on eyeshadow - I find it difficult to blend colours and don't have a good grasp on how to apply it. The rare occasion I do wear it, I usually stick to one colour or I may try to add a 2nd colour lol I love this eyeshadow so much that I have been wearing it almost every day! I get a lot of compliments :D It's such a nice subtle colour and for some reason, it makes my eyes just pop. It's a very nice, soft, everyday kind of colour! If you go to MAC's website though, the swatch on there is quite dark. Maybe it's my computer screen ?
sigh - It's a Saturday night and I'm sitting at home on blogger. How lame is that lol. My bf is actually in Montreal enjoying his brother's bachelor party! I have been cleaning and re-organizing my forever growing cosmetics collection. I have found many items that I don't use anymore that I will put up for swapping (so I'm happy about that)
Any of you Toronto folks enjoying the Caribana? I went several years ago and took a couple of photos (sorry they're not great). There were many pretty and extravagant costumes, but way too many people for my liking lol
For more information on Caribana, visit: http://www.caribanatoronto.com/
From the website:"The Caribana Parade is the largest Caribana Festival event in North America and this year it will celebrate its 43 anniversary. This event is made up of a series of Bands that compete for best costumes in this annual parade. The Caribana Parade consists of over a million participants including steel pan bands, live soca, calypso, reggae and salsa performers as well as elaborate masqueraders in costume"
Hope you're enjoying your weekend :) Thanks for reading!

ReplyDeleteHey is such a pretty colour! I've never been to Caribana (too many people for me) but am planning to check out the Taste of Danforth festival next week.
ReplyDeleteThis is my all time favourite eyeshadow! Like you, when I'm really lazy/going minimalistic, I just do a wash of this all over the lid and I'm good to go.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know you liked it! Hope you liked the rest of the stuff I sent. Lol I kinda forgot what I sent already xD
