Beauty Product Obsession: Surf Baby! Powerpoint Eye Pencil 'Blue Noon'

Ever since I bought the LE Powerpoint Eye Pencil in 'Blue Noon' from the MAC Surf Baby! Collection, I have worn it practically everyday! I am in loooove with this color!! Its a bright teal sea blue color that can really compliment any eye color! I have naturally brown eyes and it just brightens me up with a little hint of color without wearing any eyeshadow. I have green contacts too which I wear and with this eye liner it makes the green in the contacts look more prominent, like I have a twinkle in my eye or something..

I am really starting to like the MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencils because they have a creamy texture which isnt harsh on your waterline, plus its waterproof, so it doesnt move at all! I thought I would swear by the UD 24/7 liners, but these powerpoint ones are definetly living up to their claims.

Sorry this post isnt too informational, but I just had to share my newest obsession! lol I tried taking a photo of a swatch, but it didnt really come out true to color.. It definetly looks a lot better when you see it worn in person =p I promise I am getting a real camera soon!! Going on a trip in September so I need a camera ASAP =)



My attempt at a swatch

Did you get this eyeliner from this summer collection? Whats your current beauty product obsession?

Wanted Wednesday Special: MAC Surf, Baby! Collection

Hey All! Im back!! Sorry I was M.I.A. for a bit, but as most of you know... I got married on Sunday!! Yay!! It was so fun and Im so happy it all turned out great! Ill post a few pics as soon as I get them =)

But I am also excited because tomorrow, the new MAC Summer Collection is coming out, called Surf, Baby! and I cant wait!! I havent done a Wanted Wednesdays for pretty much this entire month because I was saving up for the big day, but now that its all over.. I can finally breathe and treat myself to a much anticipated collection =))

Here are my wants from this collection: (hold on because there are a lot of wants, sorry!!)

Crushed Metallic Pigments 'Summer Stash' and 'Surf the Ocean' $32.50 each

Ive never tried any of MAC's pigments before so I think this is a great way to test them out! The colors are all so gorgeous!

Lipsticks in 'Mocha' and 'Hibiscus' $15.50 each

MAC Lipsticks are awesome as it is, and the color I really want is 'Hibiscus'! What a vibrant coral! 'Mocha' I want just because Im always drawn to natural lipsticks =)

Lipglass in 'Good Lovin', 'Strange Potion' and 'Krazy Kahuna' $15.50 each

'Strange Potion' and 'Krazy Kahuna' seem to be matched with 'Hibiscus' and 'Mocha' so I might as well try them both! 'Good Lovin' just looks like a pretty peachy color to have!

Cheek Powder $28

I might or might not get this... It all comes down to how it swatches in store (cross my fingers!) but I love the Hibiscus flower on this powder!

Powerpoint Eye Pencil 'Blue Noon' $15.50

I always love colored eye pencils and so far, the powerpoint pencils have been working pretty well for me, so why not get this gorgeous color!

Nail Laquer in 'Hangin Loose' and 'Ocean Dip' $15.00 each

The first time I tried MAC's nail laquers was from the 'Quite Cute' Collection and they really wore well, which is why I am planning on getting these two babys!

Bronzer Stick in 'Tan-Tint' $29.50

Ive been tossing and turning on getting the Nars Multiple for soooo loooong! But now that MAC is coming out with these little bronzer sticks, its a must try!

Studio Careblend/Pressed Powder in 'Gold-Go-Lightly' $28

Even though I have my favorite powder bronzers, these are said to be 'Natural Matte', and I only have one matte powder bronzer, so I think this is worth a try =)

Are you getting anything from this collection? If so, what are your picks?

MAC Quite Cute Swatches

YAY! Im soooo so excited because I just came back from MAC and I ended up buying a lot more than I expected from their 'Quite Cute' Collection! She was a good salesperson lol Anywhoo.. I will share with you guys what I got =0) (And sorry the picture quality is pretty junky because I use my iPhone)

Lipsticks:
Candy Yum-Yum: Awesome awesome awesome! Thats all I can say =)
Quite Cute: Dont know what I will use this one for.. but its a unique color (white lavendar)

Plushglasses:
I Heart You: Looks great over lipstick or by itself, nice hint of lavendar
Bubble Tea: Love this color! Its sheer with a hint of pinky peach!
*Some people say these burn, but for me its just a minty feeling


Lipliner:
Naked Liner: Really light, not really natural but good for wiping out your lipcolor or if you want that Kim Kardashian pale pink lip

Nail Laquer:
Mischievous Mint: FAVORITE!! Creamy mint green, my favorite color! I used two coats
Little Girl Type: Also very pretty lavendar, creamy, used two coats

Cutie 4 Pan Eyeshadow Palette:
Moshi Moshi, Goody Goody Gum Drop, Boy Crazy and Azuki Bean: Must use a primer or eyeshadow base for these because they are pretty sheer and kind of frosty accept Azuki Bean.

I dont know about you guys, but I just cant wait for this collection, I am soooo excited!!! And of course I loooove the Nail Laquer in 'Mischeivous Mint', I just might have to get it! I was a little disappointed though about the packaging... It would have made this collection 10 times better if the packaging were cute and went along with the collection name 'Quite Cute'.
 
However, I love pastel colors and I think the lip colors that they came out with for the lipsticks, plushglasses and lip liners are pretty unique so I might try those. Not too crazy about the eyeshadow palette though since you could probably get similar colors individually, accept maybe 'Moshi Moshi!', I think I'm just going to name 'mint green' as the color of the month already =)
 
If anyone out there gets their hands on this collection please let me know, I would love to hear your feedback on what you liked and didnt like about this collection!
 
 

 
Launch Date: April 7th 2011
 
From Left to Right:
 
Prep + Prime Highlighter $23

• Light Boost - soft yellow cream
• Bright Forecast - mid tone peachy coral
• Radiant Rose - light shell pink

Prep + Prime Vibrancy Eye $30

• Supposed to reduce puffiness and undereye dark circles while adding radiance

Another launch I am excited about, just because I looove looove looove Diors 'Skinflash' and YSL 'Touche Eclat' which is very similar, almost an exact replica of this MAC Prep + Prime Highlighter pen, without the outrageous price! You could use it as just a highlighter to brighten any shadows under your eye, above your brows, bridge of the nose, chin, and cheekbones or you can use it as an eyeshadow primer. The brush tip applicator is great to effectively place the product exactly where you want it. I am crossing my fingers that this will be a great product!

What do you think? Will it live up to the Dior 'Skinflash' and YSL 'Touche Eclat'?
