Last Thursday, MAC released a collection called Le Disko. As of today, it is available at all MAC locations. As the name implies, this collection is inspired by the disco, "where glitter and glamour intoxicate and colour gets physical. It's all see and be seen as the crowd converges under a sparkling aura of lights and erupts into a dazzling sea of eyes and lips." The collection includes a total of 20 products, of which 14 are new and limited edition, four are re-promotes, one is permanent, and one is new and will become permanent. Le Disko sees the launch of 12 shades of Dazzleshadow, which is described as "an eyeshadow with rich, stay-true pigments that impart a beautiful, twinkling sheen. The creamy, talc-free formula delivers a texture that’s the perfect union of cream and powder, creating a multidimensional, reflective surface that leaves lids looking dazzling yet delicate." Each Dazzleshadow comes in regular black packaging, contains 1.0 gram of product, and retails for $24. Due to a higher price point, these are not applicable for the Back to MAC recycling program.
Can't Stop, Don't Stop is a medium-dark pinked plum with magenta and purple sparkles in a metallic finish. This is a new and limited edition shade. It has a soft, silky texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It can be layered and blended out easily.
Feel the Fever is a medium-dark muted cool-toned purple with blue and pink sparkles in a metallic finish. This is a new and limited edition shade. It has a soft, silky texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It can be layered and blended out easily.
Say It Isn't So is a medium-dark cool-toned grey with silver and pink sparkles in a metallic finish. This is a new and limited edition shade. It has a soft, silky texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It can be layered and blended out easily.
Let's Boogie is a dark muted charcoal black with gold, blue, and silver sparkles in a metallic finish. This is a new and limited edition shade. It has a soft, silky texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It can be layered and blended out easily.
Imagine the intense sparkle content of MAC's Pressed Pigment on top of a buttery metallic Veluxe Pearl Eyeshadow, and the result is the new Dazzleshadow. Each shade has a 3D multi-dimensional effect that gives a wet, duochrome look; this collection is aptly named because these shadows really look like disco balls are reflecting off your lids, and they will shift in colour depending on the angle and the lighting. You really have to see these for yourself in person because photos really don't do them justice. As with all glittery shadows, I do recommend using Dazzleshadows with a flatter synthetic brush (like MAC's new #247 or the #242, which are ideal for packing on colour) on top of a good eye primer; though these are made with a "liquid bridge" to "minimize fall-out and maximize pigmentation," they still adhere and show up best on top of a slightly tackier base (MAC's 24 Hour Extend Eye Base or Too Faced's Glitter Glue works wonders). If you love your eyeshadows shimmery, glittery, sparkly, or in anyway shiny, these will totally be up your alley. And if you had your eye on any of these, snatch them up ASAP — a lot of locations are already sold out of a majority of the shades.
NO DISCO FOR ME.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, they're awesome but all that glitter - I just can't. It's allergy season so my eyes are a little more red than usual and they're a little red to begin with. Starting to think I can't handle anything with fallout or glitter or shimmer.
BOOOOO ALLERGIES. I had a terrible bout of allergies in May, like hardcore blood-shot, watery eyes, sneezing and runny nose. It was BAD NEWS BEARS. Been taking Reactin Extra Strength and it seems to work.
DeleteI've been using these Dazzleshadows with the P&P Extend Eye Base and they work together like a charm. No fall-out at all. But true, if your eyes are already bothering you, it's probably not a good idea to add glitter to the mix, lol.
