Mac Flamingo Park Collection



Hey friends,


Finally, I am starting with my mac collection posts one by one from today. I know I kept many posts of Mac on hold as I was waiting for my ultimate package of Mac to arrive as I grab few more things at last moment that still on its way. So, by the time this post will be up I will be waiting for my last package to arrive so once it arrives I will update this post once again ;)

Anyways moving into the collection…



Mac flamingo park collection is one of the most beautiful collections of 2016 that ever launched till now in REGULAR PACKAGING  (yay !). The collection that reminds us about Flamingos! A collection that comprises of all Pinks and coral (girl’s favorite shades). The collection that doesn't get the limelight in Mac makeup lover world due to its repetitive shades but tried to draw the attention for its awesome quality.

The flamingo park collection launched 28th January 2016 online and on stores afterwards. It launched in India during May 2016 (sorry, forgot the exact date).

I must admit this collection draws my most attention than all of other collection. Although I brought a little of everything from each collection but I brought huge stuff particularly from this collection. I collect two lipsticks and four blushes from this collection (one more stuff on its way, which I will update here later ;)). So you can call me crazy…lol



From the lipsticks, I bought “BE SILLY” and “HAVE YOUR CAKE”. From the blushes I collect “LIFE’S A PICNIC”, “LET’S BE FRIENDs”, “THIS COULD BE FUN “and “SPRINGFLOCK.”

The reason to brought huge stuff from this collection is firstly I love the quality of the product as Mac most of the time end up with the poor quality of the product in limited edition but this one look like they manufactured this collection with utmost care. Secondly, I bought most stuff in 30% discount from abroad (lucky me!) .

Price of Mac Flamingo Park products:-

Eyeshadow palette:- Rs.3100/- for 0.8g. (9 eyeshadows).
Lipsticks: - $17 (Rs.1450/- in India).
Blushes: - $22 (approx..Rs.1600 to 1800/-, I don’t know the Indian price as I bought mine from abroad).

Starting with eyeshadow palette, then lipsticks followed by blushes :)


As I promised that I will update my collection of MAC FLAMINGO PARK collection once I receive my pending stuff, so here I am back with the last product review from this collection. It is MAC FLAMINGO PARK EYESHADOW.



The palette comes in a regular eyeshadow packaging of Mac cosmetics. It consists of 9 beautiful shades.The palette comes within a sturdy black case which has a transparent lid. All the eyeshadows are visible from outside the palette which is really nice as you can easily find out the shades you want without opening the palette. The palette is actually quite small in size which is little unexpected but again due to its small size, it turns out as a travel-friendly palette. The palette doesn't have any mirror or brush included in it.


The palette consists of some bright colors along with some beautiful transition color. There are the different texture of eyeshadows in this palette. Few shades are quite pigmented while few need a damp brush to get that intense shades on lids. All the eyeshadows work at its best with primer. It is not the first time that I am using Mac cosmetics eyeshadows but I thing I noticed in this new palette is that MAC  really took a great care of the quality of the eyeshadows compare to the past.It is a limited edition palette so by the time my post will be up it is out of stock from everywhere, but who knows Mac might repromote all these shades once again in any new collection in near future ;)

 Over in all, I just love the palette and yeah here are the swatches along with an FOTD  that I did one month back for the festive season.









Below you can check out the video of this look too. 






Coming to the lipsticks now...
 

 
Be Silly, a hot fuchsia pinks lipstick in a matte finish. The lipstick is a beautiful hot pink that will suit almost every complexion. It has the signature vanilla smell and it stays pretty five to six hours on my lips. I found the lipstick is a bit dry on my lips, maybe due to dry summer of Delhi but I totally love the shade. It glides super smoothly on my lips without any tugging or pulling off my lips and its stays intact as long as it on my lips. I agree that the lipsticks is  pretty dupable shade but when you are a lipstick holder nothing can stop you to grab one more pink lipstick.

 Have Your Cake, a bright magenta lipstick in a matte finish. Now this is the lipstick that I was actually craving for from this collection. The shade might look quite similar to Mac flat out fabulous( I will post a comparison swatch below). After Mac flat out fabulous my love for this kind of magenta lipstick increases. The lipstick is another versatile shade that will suit almost everyone. This is the shade that is actually made for every skin tone. The lipstick although matte one but it glides super smoothly on my lips and stays pretty 5-6 hours (mac usually stays almost same on my lips, that’s why I prefer Mac mostly).  

In short, it stays intact, no patchiness, no dryness, and no flakiness in dry summer too.

Coming to the blushes next, as I collected four blushes so summing up my experience with all four blushes altogether.

 

 

Shades description according to Mac:-

Life’s a Picnic, a hot reddish pink (Matte) Let’s Be Friends, a blueish hot pink (Satin) ,This Could Be Fun, a soft violet-purple (Matte), Spring Flock, a light bright coral (Matte).






My Experience:-

All the blushes from this collection that I bought are super pigmented. 

Coming to “Life’s a picnic”, “This could be fun”, “Let’s be Friends”, these are the bold shades blushes that need to be carefully applied on cheek else one could end up look like a clown. 

All these three blushes are superb pigmented, so a little goes a long way. The texture of the blushes are quite smooth. They are easily blendable and stay pretty long hours of approx. 4-5 in sweaty summers. These three blushes will go perfectly with every skin tone and they are mostly goes well during night time in any occasion or party.

Coming to Springflock, it is a beautiful daily wear blush that will suit mostly fair to medium skin tone beauties. As it is a beautiful light shade blush so it stays 4-5 hours on my cheek. The texture of the blush is smooth and so it is quite blendable and buildable too. It create a beautiful coral flash of color on my cheek. In short a perfect blush for daytime.



I use a fan brush to apply the heavily pigmented blushes whereas I use my usual blush brush for Springflock one.

Over in all, I really love all the lipsticks and blushes I grab from this collection and I wish they became permanent on the regular line of Mac.






Here are the FOTD using few product from MAC FLAMINGO PARK COLLECTION:-

"BE SILLY "ON MY LIPS AND "LET'S BE FRIEND" BLUSH ON MY CHEEK :)

"HAVE YOUR CAKE" LIPSTICK ON MY LIPS AND "LET'S BE FRIENDS' BLUSH ON MY CHEEK.

"LIFE'S A PICNIC" BLUSH ON MY CHEEK :)

"THIS COULD BE FUN" BLUSH ON MY CHEEK (ALTHOUGH BOTH LIFE'S A PICNIC AND LET'S BE FRIEND LOOK ALMOST SIMILAR AFTER BLENDING IT ON MY CHEEK)!
SPRINGFLOCK ON MY CHEEK :)

That’s all for today, will see you soon with another Mac collection (I already lined up).

Love Sammy :*
