Mac Packed to Go 6 Smokey Warm and Cool Eyeshadow Palettes Overview with Swatches

This is going to be a quick overview of the Packed To Go - 6 Warm Smokey Eye Palette and 6 Cool Smokey Eye Palettes. Both of these palettes will be the product of the weeks for the next two weeks. Why? Because I am not too impressed with any of the new Mac Collections coming out (Mac Fashion Flower and Mac Flighty) to spend the money. So, I wanted to give you all another option from Mac that I think is a really good deal and offers a lot of bang for the buck! The entire Mac Packed To Go Collection includes several different sets, including full face look sets, a lip set, two eye palette sets, an eyeliner set, and a face and eyes set. I decided to buy both of the eye palette sets which are called 6 Warm Smokey Eye Palette and 6 Cool Smokey Eye Palette. Each palette is $38.00 and includes six shades.

The 6 Warm Smokey Eye Palette includes the following shades:
  • * Shroom (Light Beige Shimmer)
  • * Naked Lunch (Light Peachy-Beige Shimmer)
  • * Tempting (Golden Bronze-Brown Shimmer)
  • * Green Smoke (Light Gray-Green Shimmer)
  • * Stormy Love (Deep Hunter Green Shimmer) Limited Edition
  • * Show Stopper (Deep Brown with Slight Shimmer) Limited Edition (aka - My favorite deep brown ever!!!!!)
The 6 Cool Smokey Eye Palette includes the following shades:
  • * Seedy Pearl (Soft light pink-champagne shimmer)
  • * Tender Smoke (Light gray-lilac shimmer) Limited Edition
  • * Satin Taupe (Brown-Taupe shimmer)
  • * A Brown Suit (red-brown shimmer) Limited Edition
  • * Beauty Marked (deep blackened purple shimmer with purple sparkles)
  • * Carbon (matte black)

Mac Quite Cute Overview and Tutorial with Swatches

I was not super excited about the Mac Quite Cute Collection which released last Thursday, April 7th. However, I did manage to find a few items to add to my growing collection of makeup. I started with the star of the entire collection Mac's Candy Yum Yum, a matte bright cool pink lipstick. At first I was not extremely crazy about the lipstick, but once I put a clear gloss over it, my mind quickly changed. I didn't think the lipstick was that special until I arrived back at my apartment and realized I had nothing quite like Mac's Candy Yum Yum! I have swatches below to show you just how unique it is! I also decided to pick up Mac's Giggly Mineralize Blush which is surprisingly pretty on my cheeks despite it's cool undertones. My last and final purchase from the Quite Cute Collection was Mac's Bodly Bare lip liner, which reminds me a lot of Half Red lip liner yet for all nude lipsticks! (How exciting since I love Mac Half Red Lip Liner and I call it "Universal Lip Liner"). Below are comparisons of Mac's Giggle Mineralize Blush with a few of my other cool tone blushes. Be sure to check out the video for a tutorial on the look as well as my thoughts on the entire Quite Cute collection. Enjoy!
