MAC Wonder Woman


When i first heard that MAC Cosmetics were launching a Wonder Woman Collection, i got really excited about it. Their Venomous Villains Collection, released towards the end of last year, was amazing, it has to be my favourite MAC collection yet, and because of that i assumed that the WW Collection would be just as powerful.

Sadly i was wrong.

When i saw promo shots of the products i was quite disappointed if i'm being honest. Some of the colours just weren't things that i'd ever wear, in particular the pigments, shadows and mascaras. (Bright FUCHSIA pigment.....erm no thanks!) 
I had ordered a few items from the Selfridges website before the products were available to buy from counters, because i didnt want to miss out on the select few items that i did want to coat my face in.


Wonder Woman Powder Blush in Mighty Aphrodite is delicious. The majority of it is a warm peachy coral blush which looks fantastic against my paler-than-pale paleface, the rest is a dark rose pink coral, so you can wear it light and peachy or add the pink for a stronger colour. Both colours have a lovely golden pearl running through them, a lot like the shimmer running through the Mineralize Powder Blushes. I'm really pleased i got this, especially since it's so hard to find peachy corals rather than ultra pink ones. 


I also bought the Wonder Woman Penultimate Eye Liner, i am a big fan of the Penultimate Liner in Rapidblack anyway, and when i saw this i just had to have it. When it first arrived i was a bit dubious about how well it would go on considering the size of the tip (JUMBO!), but i shouldn't have had any fears as it glided on just was well as its junior. Its brilliant if you want really strong, effortless definition around your eyes.


And finally, my third purchase was the Wonder Woman Satin Lipstick in Spitfire (on the right), as i already have Russian Red. Anyone who knows me will know that i have a weakness for lipsticks, especially bright and dark ones. Originally, i thought this lipstick would be a lot darker and when it arrived i was shocked at its true colour, but once i put it on a layered it up it i was happy with the final results. Its a really intense magenta colour, which doesn't need to be re-applied every 5 minutes. Yes, it has been tried and tested and i am pleased to say that it is foodproof, drinkproof, rainproof and nightoutproof.

I think i've talked enough now.
