Little bits from MAC's Hey Sailor & Reel Sexy Collections

Yesterday I popped into BT2 to have a look at the new MAC collections, Hey Sailor and Reel Sexy on counter. When I was viewing Hey Sailor online, so many products caught my eye, but instore only two appealed to me in person. I can be put off by some limited edition packaging but I like this one alot. The navy and white nautical stripes definitely works for the sailor themed collection. I decided on two lip products which may not surprise people as that's what my makeup bag mostly consists of.

Red Racer is my first red lipstick ever. It's always been a colour that I didn't think I'd be able to pull off. I wore it on my lips all day yesterday and I absolutely love it. It will definitely glam up any look over the Summer that's for sure. The Suntint in Au Rose also caught my eye. I know I'll use this alot and it will be handy to have in my makeup bag. Like MAC's lip conditioner, the suntints are very moisturising. I may go back and treat myself to Abalone as you can't ever have too much lip balms over the Summer.

 I didn't know that the Reel Sexy collection was being released on the same day so I hadn't seen any of the products prior. The mineralize skinfinish, Lightscapade is a relaunch which I'm in two minds about getting, have any of you tried it?

I picked up yet another lip product from this range. Pink Popcorn is more toned down than Red Racer. It is described as a lavender shade on MAC's website but it swatches pink as you can see.  I can see it being one of those lipsticks that some will call purple and some pink. I wore this on my lips today and I loved it, gorgeous everyday shade.


Here's a picture of Red Racer in action, if your contemplating getting it yourself. It's definitely one of the more wearable reds I've tried. I know some in the past have not suited me too well at all.

What do you think of the new MAC collections?? Did anything catch your eye??

  3. Red racer really suits you, you've wasted so much precious lipstick time thinking you couldn't wear red.
    Lightscapade is pretty on tan/darker skin, i'm NC/NW15 and on me it looks like my skin is just naturally shimmery. Its an exact match so I can't even use it as a highlight, such a shame. £21.50 on something using just makes me look like Edward Cullen.
    I got the Rebel nail varnish from one of this months collections, Its a lovely purple.

    1. Thanks hun, I guess I should start wearing more vibrant shades. I just wish I could pull them off. I'm so undecided about the MSF, I've heard so many mixed reviews on it. The Edward Cullen look doesn't sound too good at all. Ooh I seen the Rebel varnish it's looks beautiful xxx
