MAC Hey, Sailor Eyeshadows

When MAC released their large Summer 2012 collection, not a lot grabbed my attention. Never the less, I did grab a number of things after seeing them in store and playing with them a bit.

Out of the eyeshadows, I picked up all but one. The one I didn't get was Crystal Avalanche, a frosty white that is part if the permanent collection. It's a great highlight, inner corner color, but I have similar colors already.

The four I got were Jaunty, Barefoot, Feeling Fresh, and Nautical Navy. Jaunty is a slightly yellow toned beige. It's a great all over the lid color. Barefoot is a gorgeous antique gold. I can't resist a gold shadow! Feeling Fresh is a grassy green. Nautical Navy is a blackened navy.

All of these are great shades. My favorite is Barefoot. It's really smooth and has good color payoff.

Swatches are l-r: Barefoot, Jaunty, Feeling Fresh, Nautical Navy. All purchased by me.

MAC Hey Sailor! Pro Longwear Eye Pencils

When MAC released their large Summer collection, I admit to being underwhelmed by it. The colors didn't seem 'summery' to me and as a lip product girl...well, none of them really excited me. As any good makeup junkie though, I went on launch day to check it out.

I walked away with more than I thought I would! Over the next few days, I'll try and get all of it reviewed. I'm starting with the two Pro Longwear Eye Pencils I picked up.

First is Handforged, a pretty bronzey gold with sparkle. This one can feel a tad gritty and pulls ever so slightly while being applied. It's not enough to make it a skip though! The color is gorgeous and I feel it brightens the eye.

Next, I picked up Emerald Sea. It's a fabulous grassy green. This applies smoothly and has great opacity on one pass. It's certainly my favorite of the two!
