Hi Loves,
I been really excited for this collection. Inspired by music festivals (Coachella and Burning Man). Each year Mac Summer collections are stunners! Last year we had Wash and Dry and a year before, my favorite Alluring Aquatic. Alluring Aquatic is the collection I kinda passed on and I cry every time I think of it. My very first MAC products were form that collection. And since I was just starting my makeup adventure I didn't buy much.... why oh why! I trying to get few prices online but the prices are ridiculous! Starting from that day I made sure I get at least one product form LE collections. Lately I been getting more then and I am so happy about it :)
Anyways back to Vibe Tribe collection. What I like about all LE is the packaging. This year packaging is freaking amazing! Love the tribal design and the pop of colors! Its so summer!
So as much as I love the design I hate the quality of the packaging! MAC what happened? The plastic feels rather cheap, like really really cheap. That's the reason I didn't pick anything else. I really wanted both blushes, but I won't be paying $25 each for a cheap packaging. Sorry MAC packaging quality is really bad! and I am not the only one who thinks that way.
Aside form compacts the lipsticks are great. Packaging is you typical MAC tube and it feels good! So if you want something from this collection go for the lipsticks.
With that said I pick only 3 products.
The star of the show is definitely Gleamtones powder in Dunes at Dusk. Multicolored powder. Combination of 4 shades: pink, champagne gold, peach and rose mauve. This powder highlight is freaking gorgeous! Perfection and to be honest I don't even want to touch it. I swatched all the shades in store and then swirled them together and OMG I was hooked! The only reason I don't want to swatch is that some of my MAC products are collector items. I could get second one but well I don't have extra $$$ to spend and I wish I could though. This little compact is very versatile. You can use all shades together or alone. they can be also used as an eye shadows! Imagine that champagne gold in your inner corners! Perfect!
This highlight is a LE, so get it while you can. I know the packaging sucks but I you need this baby in your collection.
Also I pick two lipsticks:
HOT CHOCOLATE ~ lipsticks that screamed my name from the first time I saw it. It is Limited Edition shade, but re-promote, which mean it did appear in collection before this one. Its gorgeous dirty plum with satin finish. I would say it is a dark nude with berry undertones. It might not be your summer option but it will work great fall/winter time. I am a fan of nudes, and I find this color perfect!
ARROWHEAD ~ Light pinky nude. Matte finish. I pick this one up =, because I like the swatches online. This can look prefect in summer with a nice lip gloss on top or under a colorful lip liner.
So that is my MAC Haul :) I have few more lipsticks to show you I picked up recently. But that will be in the next post.
xoxo Monica
