MAC look in a box: rocker chick

now, i'm not a big fan of buying products in a set. i always feel that i buy the entire set just to use one or two products.

however, this particular look in a box from MAC was perfect for me.
i love "girly" pink lipshades and this set came with a lipstick and a lipglass (lipgloss). both pink and super-wearable. i am also a big sucker for eyeshadows for smoky eyes. the two eyeshadows and eyeliner definitely pleased me. to be quite honest, i wasn't exactly a big fan of the mascara but we'll get into that later.

two lip products, two eyeshadows, a mascara, and an eyeliner.

as with any MAC eyeshadows, the consistency was great as well as pigmented. 

the darker colour ('black tied') was a lot more pigmented but the two look great together!

i used the grey ('electra') to colour in most of my eyelids and use the black ('black tied') for my crease.

now, i wasn't all too happy with the mascara. it is black with slight shimmery sparkles- which were not noticeable.

i am just not a big fan of any other mascaras other than japanese brands. (i will show you my favourite mascaras in future posts :p)

i'm sure anyone else with long eyelashes with volume may like the mascara, but for someone with short and straight lashes, these just didn't do that great for me.

the wand is a little peculiar- they have bristles but have sort of a spiral on the wand.

looks cool but can't find a use for that. perhaps to separate the lashes? 

oh, the 'smolder' eye kohl. this is absolutely amazing. glides right on the eyelids, lashlines, and waterlines. 

the colour is black but not too black. it looks very good with the overall eyelook, too. 

the lipglass (lipgloss) is in the colour 'oyster girl' - a funny name :p

i adore this. the consistency is not that opaque, i wouldn't wear it alone but with the lipstick in this set, it looks awesome!

it makes your lips seem very plump and kissable ;)

but just as a warning, all MAC's lipglasses are very thick and sticky. 

i would not suggest wearing this on a windy day- your hair will stick on your lips and your hair will get sticky :(

i forgot to take a picture of the wand but it is just the common cotton/furry/fuzzy wand. 

the colour in this picture does not do justice for this lipstick. it is definitely a lot more pink than shown in the picture. (sorry for the bad lighting)

i absolutely love MAC lipsticks. the colour, the smell, the quality, the consistency - all amazingly lovable.

i tend to go for more pink shades and i thought this colour would be very pink.

but it is a lot more of a nude lipstick than a pink. the colour of the stick is misleading!

it is nude with a hint of pink but i still really like it. and even more with the lipglass.

it's a bit of a deeper pink in comparison to MAC's 'creme cup', which is the ultimate pink lipstick.

this look in a box was actually discontinued but just wanted to show you what a bargain this was and how much i love all of the products. now that i look back at this i wonder if i should have done swatches...

anyways, hope you enjoyed this! if you have suggestions, please let me know!
