MAC- A Tartan Tale

I have to say, I'm a bit underwhelmed by this collection. I only purchased 4 things from this collection, Which was a lipstick and 3 eyeshadows.
I think MAC are releasing too many collections too quickly and not making their products "different" enough to be worth the money you pay for Limited Edition products.
The eyeshadows I got were Glamor A Castle, Semi Precious and Golden Crown. Overall I do like them, and I think the tartan pattern in the different colours add a gorgeous effect when applied, but they're not " Oh My God, I need a back up" products in my opinion. The eyeshadow quality is good, it applied smoothly and the texture is lovely. But is it worth £15 of my hard-earned money...Probably not in all honesty.


The lipstick I purchased is a bit of a crazy one, but now I've gone back to having dark hair, I think I can pull it off. Its called "Full Fuschia" and as you can probably tell by the name, its a very bright blue-toned fuschia.
Its an amplified finish so the colour payoff is amazing. I wore this to work with a very neutral eye and light foundation and I got quite a few compliments on it. I normally wouldn't wear such a bright colour during the day because i'm a nude lover, but this lipstick deserved an outing in natural daylight as it looks gorgeous!


Overall, I'm happy with my purchases but I don't think it was worth the amount of money I shelled out on it. I normally love MAC cosmetics but recently the collections have been a bit "blah" and too samey for my liking. I wish MAC would bring out a collection that is totally different from anything they've ever done before!!
