FIRST IMPRESSIONS REVIEW : M.A.C. COSMETICS CINDERELLA IRIDESCENT POWDER IN COUPE D'CHIC

To officiate my new blog (which I hope everyone would come to love someday), I would like to start off with a M.A.C. review on their latest collection - M.A.C Cinderella collection. The collection was released earlier this week in conjunction with the up-coming Disney classic re-make, Cinderella. 

The collection is a limited edition collection magical enough to make any girl's dreams come true. It features a limited edition six pan eyeshadow palette, two studio eye glosses (these are M.A.C. Pro items, limited to this collection), two pigments, two fluidline (gel eyeliner), a studio fix lash mascara (permanent but special packaging) , two lipsticks, two lip glasses, a beauty powder, an iridescent powder, a glitter, 217 blending brush (permanent) and a 168 large angle contour brush (permanent).

I did not buy much from this collection, only one particular item caught my eyes and it is the M.A.C. Iridescent Powder in Coupe D'Chic. The M.A.C. Iridescent Powder costs RM 105 and I bought mine from the M.A.C. Cosmetics outlet in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.

Let's begin with the packaging. The packaging is gorgeous! It is described by M.A.C. on their website as a pearlized light lavender blue and it is, but I would just call it 'Periwinkle Blue'. Inside the box, which by the way is also Periwinkle Blue with Gold coloured borders, is extremely classy.

Now, onto the actual product. Let me tell you, it's to die for and it's gorgeous. The compact's packaging feels great and the wordings on the compact does not seem like its a sticker.

M.A.C. describes the colour as a 'light Golden Peach with solid shimmer' and I would definitely agree to that. The texture of the Irisdescent Powder is not soft and quite rough to the touch but I would blame it on the glitters that is in the powder. Yes, glitter and not shimmer. There is shimmer but there is also glitter so if you're not a fan of bigger 'solid shimmer' (i.e. glitter), then this is not for you. It is also not advisable for those who have imperfections on their face as this would definitely accentuate imperfections.

With that being said, I do love this Iridescent Powder. It will definitely give off a glow to skin and I'm all in for the glow.

PROS : Beauiful packaging, beautiful colour, does what its supposed to do

CONS : Hard texture (not smooth to the touch)

Overall Rating : B+
