M.A.C Frosted Firework Collection

 Ladies and Gents, the M.A.C Frosted Firework Collection is here and ready to explode into your life in a captivating, sparkly array of festive hues and dazzling shades.

Comprising of breath-taking, limited-edition colours for the eyes, lips and skin the collection shines brightly and boldly like a firework, ready to enchant you with their luminous visage.

 

 

Each splendid gem has been wrapped in specially designed, elegant and chic frosted pink complete with a glittering flare-embossing that catches both the light and your imagination. 

I am completely enchanted by this ravishing collection thanks to its dazzling tones which make it perfect for the forthcoming festive season.

 

 

Once Bitten, Icy Shy is one of the exquisite  Lipsticks (£17.50) from the new range.

Housed within the beautiful pearly pink bullet you’ll find a brilliant sheer white, pearlescent shade.

 

 

Offering a nourishing, soft finish it creates a sparkly, shimmer look and is perfect for adding those special touches to your lip look.

It can be worn alone though thanks to its hydrating qualities I like to use it as almost a balm over lip colour for that added shimmer and light-reflecting sparkle.

Speaking of light-reflecting sparkle, have you seen the new Lipglasses (£16.50)?

 

 

Available in 5 stunning Christmas-shades, these sleek glosses offer ultra-high shine with a glass like finish.

Silky soft and non gloppy or tacky, they glide across your lips conditioning and smoothing while they go creating the appearance of a fuller pout.

 

Enriched with jojoba oil, they hug and comfort your lips imparting moisture and nourishment while their array of beautiful semi-sheer hue’s allow them to be worn alone or over lipstick.

Apply a delicate slick for a subtle sheen or layer for a more pigmented, dramatic colour depending on your mood or occasion.

I tested out three of the shades, each of which is beautiful in its own way.

 

 

Spark Joy offers a beautiful, bright translucent pearl while Break The Ice creates a warm, peachy-pink complete with flecks of festive gold.

Set Me Off is the most vibrant of the collection with its rich, warm purple-berry tones.

It’s not just lips that get the star treatment though, let’s not forget the windows to your soul!

 

 

Cooler Than Being Cool is one of 5 Extra Dimensional Foil Eye Shadows (£17.50).

This luminous, iridescent eye colour features a brilliant white with multi-coloured pearl pigment for eyes that dazzle.

 

 

Lightweight in texture, exceptionally soft and finely milled it contains a highly pigmented colour pay off with a stunning metallic-shimmer finish.

Ideal for using at the corners of your eyes to widen, brighten and reflect the light the silky powder boasts long-lasting wear of up to 8 hours without creasing or fading.

 

 

Simply Spectacular!

For me, the star of the entire Starring You collection simply has to be the Kiss of Stars Lipstick in Star Struck (£19).

I mean, come on. Just look at it.
