Review and Swatches: MAC Banafsaji Art of the Eye Eyeshadow

Hello Dolls! Today I have a short review for you highlighting one of the eyeshadows in MAC's new Art of the Eye collection. Where most of the collection is simple, bright colors Banafsaji was the most unique and special colors in the collection! So, it was the only one I purchased to review for you guys. Check out the MAC website to see the other shadows and the entire collection. 

Packaging:

Banafsaji comes in the common MAC packaging. It is wrapped in a small "cardboard" box that have the details of the products. The box contains the ingredients, name of the shadows, and type of the shadow. This shadow comes in an actual pot. I usually end up depotting my MAC shadows since they end up being overly bulky after collection a good amount. And that can just go to the Back To MAC program.

First Impressions: MAC Archie's Girl Collection Lipsticks

Hello Dolls! As you may all have heard last week MAC released it's long anticipated Archie's Girls Spring Collection. Every since I was a young girl I've been a fan of the Archie comics and I couldn't pass on this collection at all. I managed to get my hands of five of the six lipsticks in the collection. 

This collection was divided in two, since the makeup was based off of Betty and Veronica, there where equal amounts of lipstick for both. Half of the collection consisted of more natural, day time colors and the other half of more night time, dark and bright colors.

Since I only picked up the lipstick I am going to swatch these for you, and since I only recieved them yesterday I wont be doing a full review, only first impressions. 

*This collection has already been released online, but it will be released at all MAC locations on Febuary 7th. This collection is limited edition.*

Packaging:

 Like all MAC limited edition collections the packages for these product have a little something special. And that little something special is that the packages are completely redone. The outer packaging is a white box, in change of the regular black, with the Archie's Girls logo. It pictures Betty, Archie and Veronica with the mac logo underneath, all of which are surrounded by little red hearts. Perfect for valentines day. 

The actual lipstick packaging is just as cute. The lipstick still comes in the bullet tube but the tube is also white, with a gloss finish. The MAC logo is placed on the lid, in the bottom portion of the lid it has the picture of either Veronica or Betty. This corresponds with the lipstick color and who it represents. 

I am absolutely a sucker for cute packaging and MAC went all out for this collection.
