First of all, I am so sorry for the slow posting of entries. My brothers have flown in from overseas and are staying with us temporarily, so my priority has been to attend to them and tour them around instead of blogging. To make up for the long absence, here's a look featuring two of the Naughty Nauticals pigments, Mutiny and Bell Bottom Blue. I also included a step-by-step illustration. It's very simple because I just wore it for a simple dinner out with my family; nothing elaborate or fancy.
Apply Beige-ing shadestick all over lid and browbone, then apply Other Worldly paint pot on lid. Don't fret if it doesn't blend well because of the cream/matte consistency; it will be fixed later on.
I was able to take a peek of Naughty Nauticals when it was launched yesterday, and I would have loved some of the colors if I didn't have them already. Unfortunately, nothing really unique (i.e. anything that doesn't look remotely similar to anything in my stash) caught my eye, except for Illegal Cargo eyeshadow. I even think this is kinda similar to my Flirty Number LE eyeshadow but since I love Illegal Cargo nonetheless. The blues in the colors are awesome as well. I also liked Pandamonium but I already have that from the Pandamonium quad of the Balloonacy collection. Shore Leave is definitely pretty too, but a little too garish on darker skintone. I don't know if it is because of the color or texture, but a light handed application would make it a very pretty color. Submarine and Meet the Fleet would make a sultry smokey blue-eyed look.
See how pretty Illegal Cargo is?
I also like the fact that MAC came up with lustreglasses instead of lipglass in this collection. I like lustreglasses because they are a little bit thinner in consistency compared to the lipglass and are not as sticky, and the shine/gloss is outrageous. I was drawn to Bateaux and Hey Sailor the most because the suit my complexion better. Bateaux is described as neutral brown peach with white frost, while Hey Sailor is described as blue plum pink with white pearl flecks. Both sound and look ultra-yummy!
