MAC Heavenly Creature Collection
MAC recently released their newest collection which I was ALL over! It featured 4 Mineralize Skinfinishes, 4 Mineralize Blushes, 9 Mineralize Eyeshadows, 5 Lipsticks, and 5 Cremesheen Glasses; and some skincare items. I picked up 2 of the Mineralize Skinfinishes, 2 Mineralize Eyeshadows, 1 Mineralize Blush, and the repromote of the Volcanish Ash Exfoliator.
This collection was rather big and it was divided into 3 parts... Colour, Eyes, and Skin. So I'll start off first with Colour which features the skinfinishes and the blush I picked up:

Earthshine MES is described on the MAC website as a "Tarnished bronze with gold pearl and pink reflects" and to me is a VERY warm bronzy metallic shade with reflective shimmers.... VERY pigmented! This one is beautiful to be used as a bronzer/blush, I've heard this one is very similar to Metal Rock but I can't say since I don't own it.

This one is my favorite out of all. Star wonder is described as "Plumy pink with multi-dimensional pearl" and the description hits the spot. Exactly what it is and plumy shimmery pink; this shade is beyond B E A U T Y -ful!
The only thing I'm upset about is the cracks or openings you see within the marble... I feel like it could break soo easily. The color outcome really depends on the marbling your may have or not have and what part you decide to dip your brush in. To me this is the "must have" out of the bunch.
I also picked out 1 blush, which was the highly coveted Supernova...

Supernova is described as a "Magenta and burnished gold melange", Supernoa its a hot bright pink, more of a magente instead of a hot pink. It had swirlies of a sort of dark peachy gold with a hint of brown in there. When swatched it's a gorgoeus color. This one is super pigmented so be careful and make sure to tap and tap off excess!
Moving onto Eyes...
I picked up 2 Mineralize Eyeshadows; Water & Earthly.

To be honest I picked this up because of the color of the swirls were so pretty.... don't lie you know you have done so too! :) MAC describes water as a "Yellow, lime green, and blue". Water has swirlies of green/yellow color, sparkly blue, and a minty green in there. It's gorgeous! It swatches horribly though! If you use it dry you won't get anything but if used wet its a whole another deal.
It transforms into this beautiful greenish-blue color its not bright as would expect from the pan but its a beautiful mixture nonetheless. I usually wear my MES wet so I don't really stress about the dry swatch.

Earthly is described as a "Beige, peach, and cool brown melange". I would say its more of beige, bronzy/gold , dark brown swirls. It's pretty and perfect for my neutral girls! This one has great pigmentation when used dry or wet. Wet just makes it a bit more metallic and opaque than what it already is.

That's all makeup wise now onto the random purchase....
Now MAC had a whole section promoting items that were already on their permanent line they just had 1 single item that was a repromote from a past collection which was the... Volcanic Ash Exfoliator!

This was something that I knew I was going to get right when I found out it was being repromoted. To only find out after purchasing that this was reformulated and its not in its original formula. Now that's a disappointment!
When I first started watching youtube videos this all I heard raves about so this really disappoints me just because it won't give me the same results as if it was with the original formulation.
Onto the product itself... it comes it cutest packaging! White shiny box with silves and gold glitters. It comes in a squeeze tube and it a blackened brown. It actually looks very much like poo when squeezed out LOL
I heard that this was VERY abrasive and I have very sensitive skin so I'm really scared to use this on my face. More like TERRRIFIED! I did use it as a foot scrub once and it has a nice smell to it and it left my skin really soft and brighter. Even though I only used it once as a foot scrub I could REALLY feel the beads; they are quite large. So be careful!
That's it for my MAC Heavenly Creature Collection & swatches! I hope you enjoyed this post and found it somewhat helpful in picking out what you'd like. I know some products may be sold out at MAC but I see everything is still available at Nordstrom. Check the beauty section and should find everything there!
