Review of Mac Opulash Mascaras in Optimum Black from Archie’s collection:-

I know I know when the tittle show’s a limited edition product review everybody skip it but this time I have a secret to share with you along with this limited edition mascara from Mac Archie’s Collection…

It is my first time in my entire blogging that I am going to write a review on mascara. Previously I was kajal and liner person but day by day the addiction towards makeup pushes me towards a little bit to perfection in eye makeup saying that ‘inner beauty is great but little mascara never hurts” 

Price: - Rs.1100/-

I always tend to use up my mascara in 3 months as I heard mascara should be changed after 3 month….and it is my first ever buy mascara from Mac. Being so pricey I must admit I didn’t use it long times , it was laying on my stash unopened for many months…but finally as now my moto is to end up my old makeup stash so here I found the mascara beneath all of my makeup which I almost forgot that I have it ….

Okay now coming to the secret first as I am dieing to share with you all that this mascara although a limited edition but its exact dupe is Mac opulash mascara which is from permanent range. Infact when I tried both side by side I found that only the difference between two is the packaging, rest are totally same. The SA girl also told me the same that they are identical, so girls although am reviewing a limited edition but it is actually not hope i make some sense of it :P

Okay let’s continue the review then, I hope after hearing the dupe story you would love to read the rest of review: P

The packaging of the mascara as it is from Archie’s collection is so adorable. The white slim box of the mascara along with some hearts and tarts and faces of the comic characters printed on it makes the only difference in this mascara with the permanent range one.  The white tube of mascara has the face of Betty along with several red hearts which clearly signifies it from Betty collection.

Opulash Mascaras in Optimum Black is saturated intense black mascara. The wand is long and the brush is big and plush; I required 2 coats of mascara to achieve my desired volume of lashes. The mascara stays pretty well for long hour on my lids. Although it is not claim to be water-proof mascara but I need makeup remover to remove my mascara. The wand is just perfect to apply the mascara without clogging any lashes and making it look more dramatically.

Good points:-

•  Cute packaging.
• Big brush and long wand.
• Can achieve volume to lashes in 2 coats.
•  Stays pretty well
• Ideal for dramatic look. 
•  Never clog or adhere lashes with each other while applying.

Bad point:-

• Limited edition. Well, you can’t get same packaging but you can grab the product as I told you it is exact dupe of mac opulash mascara.
•  Availability as limited edition but I have solution for this too :P

My rating: - 4.5 /5

My recommendation:- “I won’t cry for you as my mascara is too expensive” this is the line that keep flowing on my head from the day I started to use this mascara….hehehehe as I admit I never used such pricey mascara before as I never intend to spend so much money on a single mascara but this mascara change my opinion to far extent as I came to know that “only a good mascara can make your eye makeup look complete and it can raise it quality to professional level a bit”  so definitely I am going to buy again the opulash one from permanent range (as this one is limited edition)after ending this as I am addicted to Mac mascara now :P

Review of Mac lipstick Ronnie Red from Archie’s collection:-

Hello friends,

After a pretty long time here I am back with another Mac lipstick of mine for review and it is none other than from Archie’s collection Ronnie Red. And yes I am supposed to be the last person in this world who is going to review this lipstick for last time: P I mean yes it launched on 2013 and I am reviewing it on 2014….. Silly me! Anyway get back to the review :)

Price: - Rs.1100/- yes it is pricey than the usual one as it is limited edition and I guess for the packaging mostly. 

Mac launches Archie’s collection in the year 2013 on March in India. And after launching within few minutes the collection was sold out. Mac introduces this collection getting inspired by Archie’s collection. And there was Betty collection and veronica’s one. I personally found veronica’s collection much better on my skin than betty’s one…But when it comes about packaging I must say till now I found Mac Archie’s collection are just best among all.

Now coming to the lipstick…it is from Veronica’s collection. The name “Ronnie red” itself says it is a red shade but a different red….you all must be wondering red is red….what lies in difference between red and red…: P okay, no more confusion. Ronnie red is a red with slight pink undertone in it …I found it little similar to “Love Goddess” from Marilyn Monroe collection but that shade is in satin I think [may be I am wrong: P] and this shade comes in matte so it is different in texture and pigmentation. The lipstick is although matte but still I found it glide smoothly on lips without any tugging or pulling. The lipstick has awesome pigmentation and it stays pretty more than 5-6 hours on my lips. The lipstick as matte so dry lips blessed people might found it little dry on lips so application of lip balm beneath the lipstick is suggested or one can go with gloss above it J The lipstick fades a little after heavy meal but I found that after fading you can carry that pinkish red stain pretty well too for 1-2 hours more :)

So here summing up the whole:-

Pros:-

·         Nice packaging.

·         Pigmented.

·         Stays more than 5 hours.

·         Leave a nice pink stain after heavy meal.

·         Smooth on lips.

·         No tugging or pulling of lips being from matte range.

Now the cons:-

·         Pricey.

·         Limited edition.

 My ratings:-4/5

My recommendation:- As it is a limited edition so I think I can’t recommended this lipstick to anyone  but the shade is pretty dupable so I guess if you love the shade you can try out from other brands J
