I definitely recommend the Gentle Fume Eye Shadow Quad, as I love it and use it when going out at night for a dark and sultry eye look. The Feline Kohl Power Eye Pencil is one of my staples too. While I do not use an eyeliner pencil that often, when I reach for one, this is the one I reach for. Products that are also in my makeup collection from the list are the Tinted Lipglass in Our for Fun and Soft & Slow, the Eye Shadow in Stormwatch and Thunder, as well as the Lipstick in Danse.

The MAC Originals Collection.

So smart. A collection of MAC favorites and best-sellers. This is MAC's Originals.

It can't get much better than my favorite Parrot Eyeshadow, Real Desire Lipglass, Glitter in Reflects Very Pink, or my eyeliner staple, Indigo Eye Pencil. Originals are really now and forever!
