MAC Cosmetic's: Sweet and Punchy, & Humid Review, Swatches

I previously posted some pictures of these eyeshadows on Boxing Day (here), but I never did a full review and swatches so here we go!
  • Packaging: Both of these eyeshadows are from the To The Beach Collection by MAC, so they are both in the special packaging, although they are both available in the regular packaging.
  • Product: Both eyeshadows are smooth and easy to blend.
    • Sweet And Punchy: is a bright yellow-green with a veluxe pearl finish.
    • Humid: is amedium forest green, with a frost finish.
  • Final Thoughts: The quality of MAC's products never disappoint me, and these are actually some of my favorite shades MAC has put out. I really enjoy them.

I bought this eyeshadow trio a few months ago on sale for $4.00, original price is $7.00.
  • Packaging: These trios come in a plastic trapezoid shaped pans, with three different colours. The trios come with a sponge brush applicator.
  • Product: All three eyeshadow shades are shimmery, and generally go on smoothly, they could be more smooth though.
    • Colour 1: is a light silver colour, very shimmery.
    • Colour 2: is a medium purple colour, slightly shimmery.
    • Colour 3: is a dark grey colour, slightly shimmery.
  • Final Thoughts: I really think these trios are a good choice if you are on a budget. There are 9 different colour combinations, so theres a decent amount of variety.

NYX Round Lipglosses: Vamp Red, Queen of Africa, True Red, Peach, Soap Opera Queen, Apricot, Ballerina Pink, 24Karet, Sorbet & Shiny Ice

NYX Girls Round Lip Gloss has 36 pretty shades to highlight the sexy pucker of yours. Feels silky smooth, long lasting and the color in the bottle if the color on.
NYX Girls Round Lip Gloss is a must have for all sexy girls. ($3.00 per tube)
  • Packaging: Each of these lipglosses come in a round tube, about 4/5s the size of a Sephora Lipgloss. The applicator is a sponge brush, but it is shaped a little differently for easier and more precise application.
  • Product: The formula is long lasting and the colours are well pigmented. I actually love the smell of these, it's almost like a fruity smell. It's hard to explain, but I do like it.
    • Vamp Red: is a dark purple shade, but it looks brown in the package.
    • Queen Of Africa: is a bright purple shade.
    • True Red: is a very intense red shade. It applies really nicely.
    • Peach: is a peachy-pink colour with shimmer.
    • Soap Opera Queen: is a bright pink, almost fuchsia colour.
    • Apricot: is an orangy-pink colour.
    • Ballerina Pink: is a light, very pretty pink colour.
    • 24 Karet: is a bright gold colour. It's very well pigmented.
    • Sorbet: is a shimmery pale pink colour.
    • Shiny Ice: is a shimmery white shade.
  • Final Thoughts: These lipglosses are an excellent choice. Each lipgloss is very well pigmented, and the colours and shades vary from dark to clear, so there is a lot of options.

Annabelle Glitterama Liquid Eyeliners Review: Violet Venus, Celestial Sky, Kryptonite, Blue Comet, & Solar Flare

Its long wearing formula is loaded with sparkling micro-glitter particles that catch and reflect the light. Its fine, tapered brush applicator picks up the maximum amount of sparkles and distributes the eyeliner smoothly and evenly. ($7.95 per tube)
  • Packaging: These liquid eyeliners come in tall triangular shaped plastic tubes with black lids. The applicator is a small synthetic brush.
  • Product: The formula is a mix of clearl liquid eyeliner and different coloured glitters. For a full-colour effect I would suggest applying the same colour of a cream or liquid liner underneath the glitter. These glitters generally last pretty long and the colours make your eyes pop.
    • Violet Venus: is a hot pink/purpleish based glitter with specs of green, blue, and yellow.
    • Celestial Sky: is a bright blue based glitter with specs of dark and light blue.
    • Kryptonite: is a bright green based glitter with lime green specs.
    • Blue Comet: is a darker blue based glitter with specs of green, gold and red.
    • Solar Flare: is a bright gold based glitter with specs of beige and light gold glitter.
  • Final Thoughts: These glitters are very reasonably priced, and I would recommend them to anyone who wants a decent product for that they pay for. I love each of these shades, the colours are bright and fun. These glitters are available in 6 different shades.
