MAC Stylishly Yours Swatches and Review: Cream Colour Base, Beauty Powder, Pigment, Lipsticks






I was able to play with the colors of this collection and it is a very bright group of products, probably to herald the coming year with a big bang.  The colors are definitely not for the faint of heart, but if you like to play up your lips, there are some beautiful bold lipsticks from this collection.  Cream colour bases (CCBs) also have pretty colors that coordinate with the lipstick shades (basically the same colors as the lippies).  CCBs are multi-purpose creams that can be used for the cheeks and eyes (some even use them for the lips), BUT beware, there are some that are not eye and/or lip safe, so do your research accordingly.


Lipsticks:


Neon Orange, Cockney

Winner of the MAC Holiday Giveaway For Followers: A Tartan Tale Brush Set












Brushes 129SE, 190SE, 227SE, 275SE and 212SE


Okay, the time has come to announce the winner of the Holiday Giveaway for Followers: A Tartan Tale Brush Set.  But before I do that, I want to thank a vast majority of the entrants who followed the Contest Mechanics to the letter. There were some, however, who did not follow or read the Contest Mechanics at all, and I had to manually disqualify some entries because they can be classified as spam entries. The contest mechanics specifically stated that after the initial two entries, each person can only enter ONCE A DAY. And yet, I saw one person enter FIVE times a day every day, and I don't think that is fair for the other people who entered and followed the rules. Sorry, but I had to enforce the mechanics to be fair to everybody. Please note: the more entries you send that are over the daily limit, the more I will disqualify your entries. The random choosing of the winners was entirely done by Contest Machine, however, and I did not have anything to do with choosing the lucky entrant.

So here we go!

Finally, we have a winner! All entries are in, and one winner was randomly chosen to win MAC item pictured above. Here goes!

(*Drumroll*)
