Haul: MAC Posh Paradise collection + swatches!

Hello!!

About a week ago, the Posh Paradise collection launched in Belgium. It arrived earlier than expected and as soon as I heard, I ran to the nearest MAC store. The main reason I was looking forward to this collection was because of the paint pots. I love paint pots! I like using them as a base or just on their own, or the dark colours as liners.

I picked up all of them except for Treasure Hunt, which is the gold one. It's pretty but I rarely go for gold so I skipped it.

On to the pictures and swatches. I know the pictures of the pots are kind of dark but there's a link to better pictures at the end! The swatches are pretty colour accurate.


Nubile: Light peachy nude

Treasure Hunt: Reflects antique gold

Half-Wild: Mid-tone pruple

Idyllic: Mid-tone copper bronze

Hyperviolet: Deep violet

Imaginary: Blackened navy

Pure Creation: Mid-tone frosty blue

I love these! I'll definitly do a look with some of these soon! Here's a link to Temptalia's post with better pictures.
Did you pick up any of these paint pots? How do you use paint pots?

Thank you for reading!


Up next: EOTD with  Sleek's PPQ Me, Myself and Eye palette!

NOTD: OPI Serena Glam Slam England: Grape…Set…Match & Servin’ Up Sparkle

Hi!


In my previous post I promised a sparkly NOTD, and that’s exactly what this is!

OPI has teamed up with tennisstar Serena Williams this year and they’re created a couple really cool duos for their collection. The collection consists of different smaller collections, England being one of them. The Glam Slam England collection includes two duos, the one I’m showing you today being one of them.
Out of all the sets, this is definitely my favorite one! I love purple and I love glitter, so how could it not be :).






 


Grape…Set…Match is a beautiful shimmery purple. Different from any other shimmery purple in my collection because of its magenta and blue-purple duochrome shimmer. The base of this polish is kind of a dark purple/plum. Looks absolutely gorgeous! What I didn’t like so much about this polish is thatI found it quite difficult to get it opaque. Also, because of the shimmer, it’s kind of hard to remove, but then again it also didn’t chip on me as fast as some creme polishes do.

  Pictures taken indoors, with natural light and flash.

Servin’ Up Sparkle has a clear base with small round and a little bigger hexagonal holographic glitters in it. I love holographic glitter in general and I like how this one has different size glitters. It’s super sparkly in bright light and especially in sun light (unfortunately,I failed to capture just how sparkly it is in the pictures). I was hoping the glitter would be a little more dense and that there would be a little more hexagonal glitter in it, but that problem is easily solved with an extra coat (= more sparklyness! :) )





  

Pictures taken outside in sun light, one blurry one to show the holo sparkle :)

Not sure if this is still available in stores, but here’s a list of where to find it online!

Do you like this set and the combination of these two colours? Have you tried any of the other duos?
