DreamWorld/MAC Pigment Hauls and A Pink Look

My DreamWorld haul finally arrived yesterday. I'm super stoked about it. I got all pigment samples from the following "worlds": Summer of Danger, Atlantis, and Mother Earth, Father Sky. The Summer of Danger collection is limited edition, so I grabbed samples of the pigments because they really looked pretty on the site. The colors did not disappoint in real life. I can't wait to try them out.


There are also some blushes from the said worlds in this pic.

I also got a full size jar of Peach creme topping (finishing powder) in the clay/silica formula. I am amazed that Ellie of DreamWorld has totally revamped the concept of "finishing powder". Before, finishing powder was just mineral veil, or some other name for a translucent setting powder. When DreamWorld came, not only did finishing powders come in different translucent colors to choose from with yummy-sounding names (Banana Creme, anyone? How about Raspberry creme, Iced creme, Whipped creme, Butter creme, Butterscotch, Peanut Butter creme? Or Maybe Whipped Strawberries?), but the products also come in different formulas to suit any skin type. Do you have dry, sensitive, mature skin? Choose the creme toppings in the silk formula. Have acne-prone, oily skin? Choose the clay and silica or clay/no silica formula to soak up the excess oil. Ellie is also creating a formula for those with dry skin but cannot tolerate silk powder. The choices are just endless!! There are also primers (called "underlings" in DreamWorld) that come in different formulas to suit different skin types, because every skin is different.

I also got most of the glo worms in sample baggies. Can't wait to try these, especially the Honey Glo (the glo counterpart of Butter creme) and Quartz Glo (the counterpart of Raspberry creme topping).


Included in my DreamWorld haul were my full size Ra's Chariot eyeshadow (a beautiful gold/cream color with undertones of green), and my free (well, almost free; paid a penny for it) lippie in Adventure.


I got these wonderful pigments in a swap with a nice lady from MUA. I especially loved the MAC Vanilla pigment (very versatile product - can be used anywhere to highlight, or as an eyeshadow) and the Butterfly eyeshadow from Bare Escentuals. It's a lovely butter-colored, silky smooth eyeshadow that can be used as a highlight or blender color to blend out harsh eyeshadow colors on the lid.


These swatches were applied wet, but I swear, Vanilla looks much better applied dry with a base.





Finally, here is a pink look featuring MAC products and Dayna's Mineral Glow in Violet Vesper. I've been receiving requests for me to feature the Lustre Twins on my lips as well, so here you go.

For the cheeks, I used LaurEss matte blush in Persuasion, topped with Dayna's Minerals glow in Violet Vesper. For my lips, I used MAC Lustre Twins in Custom Rose/Pink Virtue.
