I got a sneak peek of the MAC Give Me Liberty Of London Collection yesterday and here are the reviews and swatches as promised!

Lipglass ($14)
These are all new and limited edition. My favorites are Perennial High Style and English Accents.


From left to right:

* Frankly Fresh is a caramel color.
* Perennial High Style is a cute creamy coral color.
* English Accents is a gorgeous creamy pink with lavender undertones.
* A Different Groove is a dark brown with golden shimmer. The color is pretty but will mostly likely be too dark for light to medium skintones.

Lipstick ($14)
These too are new and limited edition except, Peachstock, which is a Pro color. They all apply smoothly with great pigmentation.


From left to right:

* Blooming Lovely is a pretty lilac color that is similar to the English Accents Lipglass.
* Peachstock is a neutral beige color.
* Petals & Peacocks is a very bright cool-toned magenta.
* Ever Hip is a creamy coral.

Eyeshadow ($14.50)


From left to right:

* Free to Be is a matte medium coral. It goes on slightly more pigmented than Give Me Liberty of London but I don’t find it to be that special.

* Give Me Liberty of London is also a matte eyeshadow and the color is a light pink. The color itself is not that special but the worst part is the pigmentation. I can’t even get this to swatch on my hand or the paper. Blah!

* Bough Grey is a shimmery medium grey with a tinge of green undertones in the Satin formula. It applies smoothly and pretty pigmentedIt

* Birds & Berries is a beautiful shimmery dark green blue. Since it is a Veluxe Pearl eyeshadow, it has excellent pigmentation with easy-to-blend texture.

* Dame’s Desire is a frosty medium purple repromote from the Dame Edna Collection. It is a pretty color but you can definitely find something similar.

Beauty Powder ($25)
I normally find MAC’s Beauty Powders to be too sheer for my taste but both colors in this collection have decent color payoff.


From left to right:

* Shell Pearl is a gorgeous peachy color with golden shimmer and a repromote from the Sundressing Collection. It is similar to NARS Orgasm Blush.

* Summer Rose is a very cool-based pink from the Rose Romance Collection.

Blush ($18.50)


From left to right:

* Prim & Proper is a matte nude color.

* Dirty Plum may be described as a “sheer dark plum”, but don’t let the description fool you. It shows up as a very intense matte dark plum which looks gorgeous but the color is so dark I doubt very few will be able to use it as a blush. The color is also a repromote from the Pro line.
