Beauty Product News and Reviews
MAC cosmetics has collaborated with rapper Azealia Banks on the lipstick shade Yung Rapunxel, a deep purple/plum shade with a semi-matte finish. If you love dark plum shades, you will love this one. It is limited edition and available now!
Here is a swatch of the MAC Azealia Banks lipstick.
And a photo of my tube of the lipstick.
I think it is a pretty nice shade and perfect for fall!

MAC has released a number of new MAC Pro Lip Palettes for fall. I received the Editorial Reds palette to review. Here are my photos, swatches, and a quick video review.
The palette has the following shades:
Interestingly, my palette seems to have the label on the back for Ruby Woo and On Hold mixed up. I remember Ruby Woo as being a matte and that seems to jive with what I see from others, so I am listing them here in what I think is the correct order.
On Hold was a bit more sheer than I expected. The others can be applied on the sheer side or built in color. I didn't apply them very heavy for these swatches.
Here is also a quick video review of the palette with swatches:
Senna Lip Sync pairs a lipstick with a gloss, making for an easy to carry double duty product. Pink Minx is a very versatile pink shade lipstick with a lighter, slightly sparkly gloss. The gloss is high quality with good shine and no trace of the stickies.
Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner is a super long wear liner. You can swim with this on and it will stay put! I like to apply it all over my lips and then apply lip color over it for a super long wear look.
Below are natural light swatches of Senna Lip Sync in Pink Minx with the lipstick first, then the gloss. On the far left is a swatch of Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner in shade 14C.
Here is a lip swatch of the products taken in indoor light.
And, here I am wearing the look!
