by Hark! Is that the herald angels singing or the sound of MAC posh Paradise parading onto counters?
Huzzah! Huzzah! It’s the 20-piece posh Paradise collection, and it officially arrives in stores and counters tomorrow (if you can’t wait, it is available now online).

Nubile
I how this peachy nude looks as a lid color and how it warmly brightens neutrals when they’re layered on top. Not only is it a breeze to blend and apply, but it also brightens up the dark areas underneath my eyes (blast you, insomnia!).
MAKEUP and appeal blog RATING: A+
Innbilt
I think this blackened navy looks just as great underneath shimmery black shadows as it looks on its own. For these pics I swept it on my lids with a MAC 217 domed brush (was going for a soft watercolor effect). It’s quite a dark shade, though, and has been a tad difficult to apply.
MAKEUP and appeal blog RATING: A-
Genuine Treasure
This dark brushed golden metal reminds me of antiquing and Victorian wrought iron furniture. It’s easy to overdo, especially when applying with a flat brush or fingers (looks heavy and thick). Buffing it in with a MAC 217 has so far yielded the best results — a soft wash of shimmery golden glitter. Très elegant.
MAKEUP and appeal blog RATING: B+
Skattejakt
While I do like this pearly yellow shimmer, it could have been called Patches, as that’s how it tends to apply (especially when used with a brush). warm fingers help to smooth out the color.

How do you feel about these colors and the MAC paint Pots in general? I’m a big fan of their versatility.
Quest for Friday
Man, this week is flying by! Not that I’m complaining. The sooner we get to Friday, the sooner I might be able to go to a motion picture with El Hub. next on my to-watch list: Don’t Be terrified of the Dark.
The director, Guillermo del Toro, also directed one of my fave flicks of all time, Pan’s Labyrinth (please, PLEASE tell me you’ve seen it).
I also kindasorta want to see Straw Dogs…
Sure, the whole “couple in peril in the woods” thing has been done before, but it’s stars Vampire Eric, so that’s a plus.

Have you seen any good motion pictures lately?
