3 Looks with Hellraiser, Naughty You & Partylicious

Thoughts on Digi Pops & Alice+Olivia MAC collections!

Mac has been popping out a bunch of collections as usual but they finnaly stirred up some gems which I love like the new Digi-dazzle lipstick formula. I love how glittery and how wet they look on the lips. They are not gritty at all, not even when you rub your lips together so they don't scratch my lips like the superglass lipglosses did.

Not all the lipsticks are great though like Sweet Bits which was very sheer and applied streaky but a lipstick like Naughty You is a must have for me! I am not a fan of bright pinks but I love this. It has a very pretty neon light bright pink pearl to it that doesn't mix with the color of my pigmented lips which tends to happen to me.

Hellraiser is also gorgeous and I love that type of color which is similar to Intricate but more mauvy. Hellraiser color and glitter looks the same as Rags to Ritches dazzleglass in the tube but obviously different on the lips, Hellraiser is way more sparkly! Hellraiser also has more of a whitish sheen to it.





I wasn't thrilled with the new pigments in the stupid cheap new packaging (Yes, I am still bitter!)when I first saw them but I gave them another chance and glad I did because I fell in love with Partlylicious pigment. I wasn't impressed with it when I swatched it dry, the texture was flaky but with water it works beautifully! You can apply it lightly with water for a watercolor effect or full on for mermaid eyes. It's not too dark or too teal. It makes me wonder why MAC didn't release more turquoise/teal pigments in the past. Alot of pigments don't work well with water and can look caked on but not this one. I would have preffered it to take more fine golden shimmer (so it could have a golden sheen like in golder's green pigment but with turquoise base) instead of the silver glitter chunks but when applied wet, there's no fall out, and it hasn't been bothering my eyes. Some people complained that it stained their eyes but I use MUFE Sensitive eyes make-up remover and it didn't stain even when I applied it without a base.

The "Later" pigment which alot of people seem to be going crazy for, I hate! The texture of it is chalky, flaky and annoying to work with. If they are going to downsize the pigments and put them in uncomfortable jars, they should make the texture perfect!
I got a sample of it and even wet, it didn't impress on the eyes. I can get a prettier and more sparkly effect with Style Black Young Punk shadow without the mess.

Digi Pops Naughty You Lipstick & Cargo "Rome" Blush ~ Pure Love!


I have finally picked up Sumptuous Olive! I can't believe I waited so long to pick it up, it's a perfect lazy day all over wash color. Naughty You looks more neon in person, and the glitter really likes to hide on camera.

I love Cargo blushes, so smooth, buttery and you get tons in the pot. Rome blush is a must have! It's a pretty peachy-coral, similar to Joyous on the cheeks. The MA at the boutique said it was similar to NARS Orgasm but more pigmented. I never tried on Orgasm so I can't comment but do agree with the texture. I got this Cargo lipgloss for free in "Belgium" and it smells like chocolate! I love nice smelling glosses and refuse to wear any stinky ones. haha ;P
