ACW Haulin'

So here's an itty-bitty haul for this lovely Sunday.  I ordered these products from ACW a few weeks back, but I tweeted that I would post bout them, so here we are.


I got Japonesque lashes, which I believe were blems (so the product name is incorrect), the Bobbi Brown Sultry Eye Palette (which is amazing), MAC Plushglass in Ample Pink and Stila Lip Enamel in Giggle.  Last I checked all these items were still available.


Sorry for the blurriness in some of these swatch photos - my camera is on its last legs methinks.


"Bone" - Eyeshadow. I must admit, I haven't really tried this colour yet, as I don't often use such a white highlight - I much prefer something gold.  It's good to have in the collection, since I don't have a matte off-white.


Antique Gold - Metallic Eyeshadow.  This is a gorgeous all over eye colour.  I've been wearing this most days to work, sometimes alone, sometimes with a darker colour in the crease.  Either way, stunning.  I've even used it a cheekbone highlighter on a night out.


Caviar - Eyeshadow.  A dark, matte black.  This is fantastic as a liner, pushed into the upper lash line, or used to set waterline kohl.  I've only used this a handful of times, but it hasn't disappointed yet.


Brandy - Long-Wear Eye Paint.  I was expecting this to be, I don't know, creamier?  But it feels just like a powder eyeshadow.  Again, an amazing colour, fantastic in the crease or blended all over the eye for a subtle smokey effect.

Overall, I love this palette and would recommend it to anyone that prefers a neutral look.  I prefer the quality of these shadows to those of the MAC shadows I own (not that I own too many MAC shadows, mind you).  I haven't tried out the brush, but it looks like good quality to me, which I expect from a Bobbi Brown product.


Try as I might, I couldn't capture just how bright this lip enamel is.  It's thick, creamy and opaque.  Not sure how I'm going to manage to rock this colour, since it's practically neon, but if I figure it out, I'll be sure to show you.  I probably wouldn't purchase this again given the chance, but only because it probably isn't the most flattering colour for my skin tone.

I haven't had the chance to try out the lashes yet, so I'm can't really say too much about them, besides the fact they look pretty in the box :)

The MAC plushglass has been my gloss of choice ever since it arrived.  I love the dusty pink tones, and the texture on the lips - not sticky, but moisturising.  This will probably be a repurchase when it runs out.

I'm off to window-shop ACW a little more.
