MAC Heirloom Mix

If you’re ready to go bold with your beauty, you’re in the right place with MAC Heirloom Mix. I have a few bits and bobs from the collection to swatch, and they are sumptuous! MAC Heirloom Mix is a big collection launching in November (wait til you see their gifting sets – the best ever, I think) and it’s all about luxe and lustre. (Actually it’s all about anti-antique and a contemporary spin on aristocratic allure, but you know.. bit of a stretch.)

MAC Heirloom Mix Pure Pigments are so, so shimmery – full on light catchers that illuminate the lid. I have Regal Affair (a silver white) and Prim & Proper (a pewter shade) above.

The black packaging has also been shot through with shimmer. The two lip shades I have to show you are Salon Rouge (red matte) and No Faux Pas (matte hot pink). If I tell you that I cannot get the swatch marks off my arm after three cleanses, then you’ll realise this is above and beyond on pigment. I’ve also got the Cremesheen Glass in Courting Chic (tried it on, terrified my postman) which is a deep, deep berry red packed with golden glimmers.

The MAC Heirloom Mix selection is very adventurous – so dramatic and graphic – there’s a dark prune liner that I want to try called Prunella. I think you have to pick and choose carefully from this selection – it’s drama at every step and there’s only so much one face can take! The collection hits all MAC counters and on-line in November.
