BEHOLD! The MAC Snow Ball Collection Extra Dimension Eye Shadows and Face Powders - Makeup and Beauty Blog
Excuse me, miss, I've got an RSQ (Really Serious Question) for y'all: are you ready to party like it'due south 1997? If y'all are, grab your glow sticks and wait out! — because it'due south MAC Snow Ball time. You have just been teleported straight into a Christmas rave circa 1997.
The forgotten era of mid-'90s frost
I'd be right at that place with y'all, hanging out in all my skinny-brow'd and Adidas-beat-toed glory, as would Gwen Stefani, because what's a late-'90s festive fantasy rave without Gwen?
It would have to be Gwen from the early No Doubt days, of class, with space bun hair and jewels glued all over her face… We'd all exist wearing frosty shadows from our lash lines to our brow bones, and shimmer and glitter for days.
See, I think that sometimes people forget that '90s makeup wasn't just about the mattes, because in the late '90s, frost had a major moment. Lids and lips were fabulously frosty, and MAC Snow Ball grabs that vibe, but have no fearfulness — MAC updated it, then it's fun, festive and current — not dated at all.
A two-role holiday collection
MAC vacation collections are normally big, and so is Snow Ball, which is organized two parts. There are the kits and sets, with the numberless, palettes, brushes and whatnot, so in that location'south the main makeup collection with the eyeshadows, lipsticks, face powders and faux lashes.
OH! There's even a prepare of '90s-style sparkly stickers for your face in the makeup collection! Gwen would totally corroborate.
In this post nosotros're chatting nearly the eyeshadows and confront powders from the makeup drove. Stay tuned for swatches of the lipsticks. I'll have those shortly.
Snow Brawl Extra Dimension Eyeshadows
OK, let'southward offset with the express edition shadows, or, should I say the LE eye glosses? Because these eyeshadows look similar wet eye gloss, AND It'S AWESOME…
Oy, sloooow downwardly, 1000. Y'all're getting ahead of yourself.
Alright, so, there are 5 of them, $xx each, and they're in the MAC Extra Dimension formula. Being $xx, they're the same price as the Extra Dimensions in the permanent line. On that note, did anyone else notice that MAC hasn't been tacking on actress $$$ for LE packaging lately? Yes, MAC FAM. Thanks for doing the correct thing.
The beautiful limited edition gold packaging looks similar someone was having way too much fun and shattered a golden disco ball in the middle of the political party…and then put all of the pieces back together haphazardly, which — big surprise — I totally love, considering I wanna exist the person bully sh*t. 🙂
Getting back to the formula, the Extra Dimensions are a unlike formula than the regular MAC eyeshadows. They're super soft, virtually like a gel-powder hybrid, and exceptionally creamy and piece of cake to blend. The Snow Brawl shadows are like the party girl/party guy versions of the Extra Dimensions. They accept the signature Extra Dimension creaminess, forth with a whole lotta holiday extras, like glossy finishes (OBSESSED), multiple color shifts (which is when the color changes depending on the light), and "expert" (air quotes) glitter.
Yes, it sounds like it could accept a perilous plough at any moment — like the makeup that gets marked 50% off on an end cap at Claire'southward — simply don't exit this rave early, because everything is tastefully done.
NO, SERIOUSLY!
Don't miss Stylishly Merry
I'1000 all about Stylishly Merry. Where do I start? I tin can't even tell what color it is half the fourth dimension because sometimes it's pink, other times it's copper, and so, like, I'll glimmer see gilded. It's complex.
On superlative of the color shift, it's packed with enough of golden glitter, which you'd think would catapult it straight into tacky territory, merely information technology doesn't, because information technology'southward delicate YSL/Dolce/Chanel-style flecks. So foine! And very expensive-looking.
If y'all saw information technology on my lids from an arm's length away, you'd enquire me what possessed me to smear lipgloss on my optics, considering these shadows have the glossy, moisture finish of a thick eye gloss, but they don't have the stickiness or movement (which is a skillful thing).
Picture something from a loftier fashion spread in Vogue. It looks super cool.
Yes, Stylishly Merry has All. Of. The. Things, but they're all balanced perfectly, and I honey it. Definitely worth at least a trip the light fantastic a swatch.
Face up Powders
Onto the two Face Powders, which are $34 each. Compared to the eyeshadows, they're relatively tame.
In that location's a gold and a warm peach, both with mid-level pearl and pigment. Yous can wearable them as blushes and/or as highlighters.
I prefer an understated cheek highlight, so I prefer to utilise them as highlighters. As blushes, all I have to say is "pores, pores, pores."
Oh, I call back you might exist able to even use these Face up Powders on your lids, too, because the Face Powder from the Fruity Juicy collection was eye-safe.
I've used the Snow Ball Face Powders to do an inner corner highlight and as a brow bone highlight (which is and then '90s), and they seem to work fine on my eyes.
So far, I'm having a brawl with Snow Brawl! 🙂 (Yes, that was a bad pun… I'chiliad sorry.)
Your friendly neighborhood dazzler addict,
Karen
