MAC Veluxe Pearlfusion Shadow.

One thing that can totally transform a look is the eyes. You can play them up, play them down, go natural or smoke them out. It is up to you. The one thing that you need is a great eye shadow. Eye shadow palettes are my favorite, so you can just choose one, then create and go. But there are so many to choose from. The latest palettes from MAC not only have a variety of shades in the colors that you want, but the formula is outstanding.

MAC Veluxe Pearlfusion Shadow

The Veluxe Pearlfusion Shadow's are fully pigmented, with a super soft and silky - almost creamy feeling texture. Each palette contains 5 different, coordinated shades. You'll notice that the middle shade is the largest, which is super smart. You know there is always one shade in a palette that you use more than the rest, and MAC has already figured it out for you here.

It’s eye shadow innovation like you’ve never seen before. A versatile powder that brings out the pigment’s pure and true colour. The result is a glamorous, creamy and lightweight hybrid offering two distinctive effects: applied wet for a super saturation of colour that glistens with metallic brilliance, or dry for sheer coverage with a soft, sparkling finish. Six palettes feature five complementary shades that glide on and blend beautifully for infinite day-to-night looks: Pinkluxe, Bleuluxe, Pastelluxe, Greenluxe, Smokeluxe and Brownluxe.

Too Faced Boudoir Eyes Soft & Sexy Eye Shadow Collection.

Calling all neutral eye look lovers, there is a new palette that you have to know about. This one is designed to give eyes that soft, sexy, neutral look we all love. Introducing Too Faced Boudoir Eyes.

"Create eyes that are so big, dreamy, and sultry that when someone looks into them, they get lost inside." - Jerrod Blandino, founder Too Faced Cosmetics.

Nine shades in all, this collection of shadows contains three larger base shadows and six accent shades. Five of the shades are new to the brand. They are super soft, silky and yes, even sexy with finishes from matte, to shimmery to full on sparkle.

The set includes a little cheat sheet with three very easy to create looks to make it easy to make the most of all the colors.

The shades (you have to get a kick out of the names):

  • In the Buff
  • Fuzzy Handcuffs
  • Voulez-Vous
  • Satin Sheets
  • Sugar Walls
  • Garter Belt
  • Birthday Suit
  • Lap Dance
  • French Tickler

I am loving the new tin palette - it is a definite upgrade form the brands usual cardboard cartons.

Of course my new favorite shade in the palette, Lap Dance, is broken. :(

The Boudoir Eyes Soft & Sexy Eye Shadow Collection retails for $36.00 and is available at Sephora, Ulta, Macy's and toofaced.com.
