Preview: MAC Hocus Pocus and Parisian Skies eyeshadows

          At work, things are about to hit the fan, so to speak. However, before that happens, I wanted to share pictures of my MAC Bloggers Collection picks: MAC Hocus Pocus eyeshadow and MAC Parisian Skies eyeshadow. I will try to post more detailed swatches, reviews, pictures, or ideas of each eyeshadow when I have more time. In summary, they are both gorgeous colors. MAC Hocus Pocus is a sooty warm grey color that makes for the easiest smoky eye ever. The hint of brown makes the color more wearable than cooler greys. It is a veluxe pearl finish. You don't even need to add a second color to blend it out. It looks great on its own. MAC Parisian skies is a greyed blue satin finish eyeshadow. This is definitely not an 80's type blue eyeshadow. The weathered color makes it so chic. I've worn this more than Hocus Pocus, if you can believe it. MAC Parisian Skies has a subtle smoky blue finish which really brings out my brown eyes.

          For these pictures, I imagined a brief vignette. Above, you can see the shadows resemble a pair of goggles. Since we're talking about the MAC Blogger's collection, we'll call them bloggles. So, put on your bloggles!


Bloggles on. The world starts to turn....



And then things really start to get psychadelic!


          As you can see I was in a silly mood. Thanks for taking a quick MAC's Blogger's collection trip with me! Each color is done so well. I highly recommend them if you've been on the fence. I just checked, and they're still available online.

          In other news, I think a black cloud has been following me this week. To give you an idea: I've been walking around with a neck support collar because I strained a muscle in my upper spine. It's not a serious injury, but it's painful! I hope this means my luck will turn around next week. Here's to hoping! Thanks for reading!

Love, Dovey.

  13. Oh no....are you okay?? I hope you are well.

    I have Hocus Pocus and you reminded me that I need to play with it more. Does it apply patchy when you first put it on?

  14. Jessica, Amy, Zuzu, and Lexi - thanks so much for your comments and encouragement.

    Lex- I haven't had patchy problems, but I've been blending it on top of a base color like Bobbi Brown's Navajo!

  15. I love Hocus Pocus! I use it to darken up the outer v all time, and I love that it's more fool-proof than using a traditional matte black shade :)

  16. Hi Tiffany - agreed! I like blacks too, but they're more tricky.
