Obsession Du Jour 5.4.09



The mineral eye shadows by MAC that just got put back into rotation!

Odd Couple and Illusionary Burning Ambition, what great names.
These eye shadows can be used wet or dry, have the most unbelievable pigmentation and are buttery smooth. Winners in my book.





Illusionary Burning Ambition: Buttery Golden Bronze (Similar to Woodwinked and Tempting)/ Light Shimmering White Gold (Similar to either Solar White or Nylon)
Odd Couple: Violet blue based Purple (eyeshadow form of MAC Violet Pigment)/ Golden Peach

If I had to live on an island and only bring one eyeshadow it would be the Illusionary Burning Ambition Duo. It is perfect for a bronzed look, a light frosty look and used together a perfect smokey brown eye. You can build up the color or use as a wash!

I love these babies! Anyone else going to get some MES?

  3. I have to try mine again. They were irritating my eyes, maybe because of the minerals. But yours look really pigmented!

  9. The one that I've been eyeing on is "Family Silver".

    I'm really loving "Love Connection" and wearing it quite often. It reminds me of All That Glitters in much shimmery version. Looooooove :)))
