MAC Stylishly Yours

The second collection that was released by MAC on Boxing Day is called Stylishly Yours. This collection is the total opposite of Cham Pale: it's bright and colour-packed. There are four main shades in this collection (red, orange, pink, and purple) that have been executed into several different types of products, so each product corresponds with another type of product. It was initially more intriguing to me than Cham Pale as a whole, and there are a lot of products in this collection that I would use, but a lot of it is re-promoted or permanent at PRO.

For example, the Cream Colour Bases that were released with Stylishly Yours are gorgeous, but Madly Magenta and Virgin Isle are both permanent. I'm still considering grabbing Movie Star Red, but it's easily dupeable. Moreover, all of the Cream Colour Bases in this collection cannot be used on the eye area, so it's limited to cheeks and lips (for me, just lips because I don't like cream blushes). The Pigments that were released with this collection are also gorgeous, but I have too many eyeshadow dupes of those shades. And I find that I rarely ever use Pigments in actual execution; I prefer pressed eyeshadows. If you like the shades, though, I would totally pick one up. They go on beautifully and look stunning on skin, regardless of tone. When it comes to buying Pigments, I always recommend splitting one with someone else because you will never be able to use up an entire jar on your own (unless you spill it or something).

Thusly, I only grabbed the two limited edition lipsticks in Something New and Style Curve (while the other two, Cockney and Neon Orange, are permanent at PRO). Something New is an opaque, cool-toned medium pink in an Amplified finish (like a cooler, lighter, more neon version of Girl About Town). Style Curve is a semi-opaque fuchsia-based violet in a Cremesheen finish, but is made surprisingly wearable because it's more sheer and glossy than most of MAC's other purple shades. Both shades tend to look better for those who are more cool-toned just because of the cool undertones in both of them, but those with warm undertones will find them easy enough to wear since they're not strongly blue-based. This collection is not for the faint-hearted. It's for those who love colour and love wearing it.
