Today I'm bringing you some serious makeup-y eye candy courtesy of two new MAC collections featuring picks from Kelly and Sharon Osbourne.
MAC KELLY OSBOURNE
Available now HEREMAC SHARON OSBOURNE
Available now HEREI have to honestly say how surprised I was by these two collections. The colors are amazing and the (sizable) collections themselves contain lots of different MAC products. Not just the typical few lipsticks and quads. Think new shades of Patentpolish Lip Pencils, Mineralize Skinfinish Naturals, and the 183 flat buffer is back in a little Kelly violet SE version.
As for the packaging (which you can see a bit in the photo above), Kelly's is encased in her signature violet shade, while Sharon's is all red. Both with their signatures in the opposite shade.
Before we get into the swatches, I have to admit, I may actually pick up a few more pieces. When I get these collections to share with you all, sometimes I get the entire collection, sometimes they send me just bits and pieces. For this one, I received mostly items from Sharon's collection. However, the few pieces I received of Kelly's were totally worth it. Some of the prettiest lipsticks! I may go back for the other two in her collection.
So speaking of those gorgeous lipsticks, lets start with Kelly's collection...
LIPSTICK, $17.50
l-r, STRIP POKER light nude (matte), KELLY YUM-YUM bright blue pink (satin)
When I first swatched the STRIP POKER shade, I immediately thought,
myth. So I compared the two for you below and they are quite similar.
STRIP POKER left, MYTH right
You can see there's not a crazy difference, but STRIP POKER may be just ever so slightly darker and a little warmer in tone. If you're a nude lip lover, I'd definitely recommend this one! I can't wait to wear it.
Next, (completely because of the name) I compared KELLY YUM-YUM to the always-popular CANDY YUM-YUM. SUPER similar.
KELLY YUM-YUM left, CANDY YUM-YUM right
These were even more similar, but to get nit-picky, CANDY YUM-YUM is slightly cooler. And when I say slightly, I mean if you have CANDY YUM-YUM, I'd probably skip the new shade. However, if you never got your hands on that one, I'd definitely recommend KELLY YUM-YUM.
The other product from Kelly's collection that I have to share is the Eye Kohl in Smolder, which is a part of the permanent line, so there's probably nothing incredibly new to share here.
Eye Kohl in SMOLDER, $17.50
Just an all-around, solid good black liner.
I so wish I had some of the other Kelly items to share with you all (they look amazing, and I'm trying to refrain from placing an order), but Sharon's collection is great as well and I actually have most of that to share.
So if you couldn't tell from the first photo in this post, Sharon's collection is very
red. Well, at least in packaging. I was actually most surprised by hers! I expected the typical deep red on red on red lipsticks, glosses, and liners. I love that she didn't go that route, but instead, chose a mix of flattering shiny and shimmery neturals, and a few deep Patentpolish Lip Pencils.
Let's get into her collection...
Mineralize Skinfinish Duo $33
REFRESH light summer peach tan / golden pink
I'm a sucker for Mineralize Skinfinish Naturals... Especially these fun duos. I could definitely see myself faking a warm sunny glow with this one in the summertime.
Powder Blush $22
PEACHES & CREAM mid-tone rose (satin)
I can see myself becoming quickly obsessed with this blush. I'd say this one is a must-have from the collection. So beautifully pigmented... so perfectly pink. This one would work on a variety of skin tones.
DUCHESS QUAD $44.
SWEET EYES light golden nude (veluxe pearl)
SEXY EYES soft bronze (veluxe pearl)
FEMME FATALE golden brown (satin)
EMBARK dark reddish brown (matte)
Lately I've been underwhelmed with MAC quads. I think that while this one contains all browns and shimmery neturals, it's beautifully done. All of the colors swatched nicely and I could definitely see myself being able to create a ton of different looks with it. This one will be gorgeous for Summer! Now, I'm curious about Kelly's!
Patentpolish Lip Pencils, $21.50
(top) FRENCH KISS warm caramel
(bottom) PATENTPINK washed-out lilac
I'm LOVING that they did Patentpolishes rather than lipsticks for her collection. I feel like these two particular colors will be super wearable and fast favorites of mine! The collection also contains two more shades: one that is a bit of a deeper rose and a really pretty nude.
Lipglass, $16.50
PUSSYWILLOW light neutral gold
This gloss is absolutely gorgeous. SO pretty for layering over any other lipstick shade, or on its own. There is also a beautiful rose lipglass shade (sparkly and all just like this one), that I'm curious about.
Powerpoint Eye Pencil, $ 17.50
BOUNTIFUL BROWN brown rinsed with bronze
This brown liner is fun. Which is usually not something you'd say about a brown liner. I feel like this one would work perfectly with the DUCHESS QUAD above.
So that's it! What do you all think?? Do you have your eye on anything particular? Let me know what you decide to pick up or if you'll be passing...
As for me? I'm impressed! ...and currently *trying* to resist ordering the rest of the collection!
The collection is available today
HERE so don't miss it!
