MAC x Pony Park Collection

MAC x Pony Park Collection

Just picked up a bunch of stuff from the MAC Pony Park collection because it is, hands down, one of the best collections to come out from any brand this year. Everything about this collection is on point — the packaging, the colours, the formulas, the range of products — and most importantly, wearable. If you don't know who Pony Park is, her real name is Park Hyemin, and she's a South Korean makeup artist and beauty influencer (who is, quite frankly, gorgeous) that gained international popularity for her insane makeup transformation videos, but is mostly known for her K-beauty tutorials. And she's brought those K-beauty trends into her collaboration with MAC, in beautiful black and metallic rose gold packaging inspired by tarot cards.

First things first, I picked up both of the iridescent Extra Dimension Skinfinish highlighters in Sky's the Limit and Cold Comfort. Y'all know I'm already a sucker for highlighters in general, but I legit want to bathe in these, especially the gold one. What sets these apart from the regular Extra Dimension Skinfinishes is the iridescent finish; Sky's the Limit shifts from a light champagne gold to a peachy gold, and Cold Comfort shifts from a pale icy pink to a lavender lilac. They are stunning. And the sun and star designs engraved into the actual powders add a really nice touch.

The next must-have for me was the Hocus Pocus Eyeshadow x 8 Palette. There haven't been any palettes from any brand in the past year that have really intrigued me (at least, enough to pay for), but these colours are literally my go-to shades (basically warm, rosy neutrals) with an excellent variety in finishes (sparkly vs. matte) and tones (lights, mid-tones, and darks) — by far the most wearable and comprehensive eyeshadow palette MAC has come out with this year, whether you're going for a K-beauty look or not.

Then, surprising even myself, I ended up getting five of the new Matte Lip Mousses. I actually thought these were going to be a write-off for me because I hate liquid lipstick in general — but these are ultra-smooth, cushiony, lightweight, and not drying at all. They leave just the right amount of colour on the lips so that you can have that blurred, stained look that K-beauty is known for, or you can add more for a saturated lip look. I just hope they make this formula permanent and add more shades. Right now, I'm either into nudes or a faded bright colour that looks like a stain (blame it on all the K-dramas I watch), and these fit the bill perfectly. They're like the cream version of the Powder Kiss Lipsticks, and they're delightful.

MAC x Pony Park Prep + Prime Fix+

Finally, I got the Pony Park Fix+ finishing mist. I'm not normally into setting sprays with any sort of colour or finish, but this one has a very subtle pink-lilac iridescent pearl that almost doesn't look like anything on the skin but somehow magically makes foundation have that sort of ethereal, "glass skin" effect that I am trying very hard to emulate.
