Heroine lipstick...

Okay today I tested out one of the new lipsticks from the new Wonder Woman/MAC collaboration collection for Spring.

I really love the red star on the tube - sorry, I'm a packaging whore.

So like I mentioned yesterday, the frost formula usually dries my lips so I made sure I had my tube of Kiehl's lip balm on hand. This seemed to do the trick - as my lipstick wore on I didn't feel any tightness on my lips. I still felt that the frostiness was beginning to wear me. I think its just because I'm not use to this much frostiness - fine glitter yes, but metallic looking frost? Not so much. However, I was pleasantly surprised:
I guess I will be keeping this lipstick!

I paired this with MAC Hover lip pencil. Hover is described as a Rich Caramel Brown on the website but on me it pulls a bit red/terracotta. It works well with Heroine.

As for my eyes, I went with an Army/Olive green theme:
I used UD 24/7 Glide Eye Pencil on my lids and smudged with my finger. I also smudged this with my #219 pencil brush on my bottom lashline. On top of that I layered Chanel's Vert Khaki on the lid, NARS Nepal was applied to my crease and MAC Arena applied to the brow bone. I finished with MAC Haute and Naughty Black mascara.


Swatch line up:
(NC42)

L to R:
Heroine Lipstick
Hover Lip Pencil (both MAC)
UD 24/7 Glide Eye Pencil Stash (dark golden green)
Chanel Vert Khaki (dark olive green w/slight golden sheen)
NARS Nepal (champagne/rose gold)
MAC Arena (soft gold peach)

I used the Golden Lariat MSF on my cheeks. Yes, I realize I owe you guys a review on that product.

  2. Thanks Jen! Yeah it's fun to rediscover eye shadows you forgot you have.

    I don't think this will get me to wear a plethora of frost lipsticks - this is a one-time deal haha!

    Yes, I am craving a Super Friends marathon myself!
