Smooth, color intense, pigmentation gone wild…MAC hit the In Extra Dimension eyeshadows out of the park! I’ve already shared my thoughts on the Extra Dimension Skinfinsh, and now I’m moving onto the eyeshadows – you’re really going to love these!
Let me start by mentioning that the formulation (in texture and finish) is identical to Estée Lauder Cyber Eyes which launched last year. With the MAC version of the now popular hybrid powders, we’re given shades to choose from that go from warm to hot:
Blue Orbit – a periwinkle blue metallic shade with a light gray base. It makes a pretty wash of color (I like using fingers but a brush works good too). I get more intensity in color when I use this one applied wet.
Blue Orbit
Blue Orbit. A beautifully soft and feminine color with a metallic edge…perfect combo! Of all the shades, this one needs a bit of layering if you want intensity when applied dry. This is a wonderful eye brightener for brown eyes too.
Galaxy – a pretty amethyst with a taupe base (less purple – and more taupe – on the skin then in the pan)
Galaxy
Galaxy is a taupe-purple shade that taupe lovers will well, love!
Havana is a warm brown with a golden base.

Havana – I really like this shade because of the golden base…gives it a little something extra.
Lunar is a stunning medium blue with a navy base. It looks a tad more navy on skin (particularly indoors). My favorite!
Lunar – there are super fine glitters in the product that disappear on skin. Although all the shadows give the lids shine, they are daytime appropriate.
Lunar…isn’t she lovely! All the shadows (except Blue Orbit) have intense one swipe pigmentation.
Rich Core is a bronzed burgundy with only a hint of red. It’s quite sophisticated.

Rich Core may very well be my second favorite of the lot.
Availability: MAC stores, MAC counters, maccosmetics.com (official launch date April 5th)

4/5 Smooches: I’m wild about these shadows (and they wear so well)!

I’m oblivious to certain holiday’s…April Fools Day is one of them. I’ve never been one for pranks which is why April Fools never made an impact on me. But I’m curious, how do you celebrate the first day of April?
For me Sunday’s (isn’t it strange April Fools fell on a Sunday? It seems like a Friday kind of holiday) are when I take a breather, step into my beauty boudoir and select what I’ll be playing with (or testing) for the week. This week, I have all sorts of new goodies on my vanity. Take a peek…
The Dior Nude Healthy Glow bronzer on the left, Sunset, is making a come back this summer with different packaging. It’s right up there on my top five favorite bronzers….you may want to check it out when it debuts (again) middle of this month. Oh, and that ginormous MAC disc you see there (at about 12:00) is an MSF from the new MAC In Extreme Dimension collecction. If you liked the Estée Lauder geleé products, be prepared to have your head spin! I couldn’t forget to also tell you about my new fragrance love…Dior Miss Cherie Eau Fraiche. It’s nothing like the original and had me at first spritz.
I’ve been playing with a new palette (on the left) from Julie Hewett. I am speechless (but believe me, the words are coming in my review of it this week) at how good this pigmentation is – what a performer! A few of the new MAC Tres Chic blushes…pretty, pretty.
That’s Lunar (the blue way in the back) and is one of the MAC In Extra Dimension shadows. I have one word…POW! Photos and swatches of the items I picked up from the collection are coming in the next one or two days.
Oh, and Mr. Vince Camuto is right up there with winning aromas…the fragrance launches this year are, so far, stellar! There’s nothing tricky or pranky about my makeup selections for this week…they’re just a whole lot of beautiful.
