MAC Posh Paradise Mattenes and Paint Pots Complete Swatches and Review

A couple of days ago, I featured sort of a sneak peek on some of the shades from the Posh Paradise Mattenes and paint pots, and also my overall impression of the paint pots and mattenes. To know more about my thoughts, check out my MAC Posh Paradise Mattenes and Paint Pots initial swatches and review.

In this entry, I will combine swatches from both the Mattenes and paint pots, and my thoughts on the other shades that I didn't get to review.

Urban Decay Naked Eye Shadow Palette Look and Tutorial

As promised, here is a step-by-step illustration of my Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow Palette look. Really am loving this palette because it is so versatile even if it's very basic and simple in concept. Of course, all eye products are Urban Decay unless otherwise stated.



One of the non-Urban Decay products I used for this look is my beautiful MAC Coral Crepe paint pot from the Pret A Papier collection. This is such a gorgeous, gorgeous paint pot. I love that it looks coral in the pot and upon application, but it doesn't really give a coral look to your shadows when you use it as a base. It just gives a beautiful richness to your shadows and makes them last the whole day.


Apply primer potion in Sin all over lid and on lower lashline. Using a fluffy shader brush, apply MAC Coral Crepe paint pot on lid. Smooth with finger.


Using a stiff shader brush like the MAC 239, apply Sin eyeshadow on inner to mid-lid.


Using the same brush, apply Half Baked on mid to outer lid.

Soft Smoky Eyes Using Stila Smoky Eye Talking Palette

Hello lovelies! Here's another look using one of my recent purchases. For this look, I used the Stila Smoky Eye Talking Palette and Stila Red Carpet Look #3. I'm liking the colors in this look. I made the look softer than the usual smoky eyes we envision because I wore this during the day. If you are thinking of using the Smoky Palette on a night out, you can easily make the application a little more dramatic.



I used MAC Layin' Low paint pot on top of Butternutty because when I first tried Stila Kitten, it was a bit too sheer and gritty for my taste. Layin' Low made Kitten adhere better on my lid and created a smoother canvas for the eyeshadows.



I also used 3N lipstick for this look. I love the N collection. It might be a bit boring to some, but this is one collection where I reach for the colors regularly, unlike others which can languish in my dresser drawer for months before I remember to use them.



I also used Enough Said beauty powder blush from the MAC Red She Said collection. In this collection, Stark Naked was the star product and more popular than Enough Said, but my warm colouring complements the beautiful warm tones of Enough Said.



I used Jouer lipgloss in Pink Sand, one of the prettiest glosses that I have. It's such a beautiful peachy pink gloss.


I used Refined MSF on top of the blush.

Here's a step-by-step illustration. All products Stila unless otherwise stated.


Apply MAC Butternutty shadestick all over lid and browbone, brows and on the lower lashline. Blend with finger. Apply MAC Layin' Low paint pot on the lid using a fluffy shader brush.


Using Loew Cornell Maxine's Mop 3/8" brush (or MAC 239 brush), apply Kitten on the lid.


Using the MAC 224 brush, apply Puck shadow on crease.


Using Sonia Kashuk blender brush, apply Kettle on the crease and outer V. Blend Puck and Kettle using the 224.




Using the same Sonia Kashuk brush, apply Ebony to contour crease. Blend using the 224.


Apply more Ebony to deepen the crease. Apply MAC shadow in Brule on edge of shadows above the crease using the 224 to soften harsh lines.


Apply champagne color (Base) in the Smoky Palette on the browbone using Stila No. 5 brush. Apply Kitten on inner lower lashline, and Ebony on outer lower lashline using MAC 219 brush. Apply MAC Penultimate liquid liner in Rapidblack on upper lashline. Apply Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero to tightline and on waterline. Apply Revlon falsies in Flirty. Apply mascara.

Madame Madeline and Coastal Scents Gel Liner Hauls

I ordered my gel liners last Saturday, and I got them Monday. Amazing huh? I was a little surprised because it took eight days for my Coastal Scents order to arrive the last time.


Here's 24K compared to Indianwood paint pot and Uppity fluidline from MAC. I'm glad I got 24K even though I already have Uppity because 24K is a deeper gold than Uppity.


Here's how Peach Bellini looked with Perky paint pot. Obviously, the former is darker.



To save you guys the effort, here are my other Coastal Scents' gel liner swatches:




NOTE: Grape Vine is actually INDIGO.


I also got some brushes together with my gel liners.



On the same day that I got my Coastal Scents haul, my seventeen pairs of lashes from Madame Madeline arrived. I love them!!! I got mostly natural-looking lashes as the ones I have from Red Cherry (I get them from this beauty supply store near my work) are a little on the dramatic side. I got some of these for 10% off, and they threw in an extra pair as a freebie. I love Madame Madeline! They have very nice falsies and the prices are very reasonable. This is my second time to order from them, and it's been another pleasant experience.
