MAC: Amber x 9 Eyeshadow Palette

Hello! I have been facing a bit of a problem over the past couple of weeks; i cannot stop spending my money on MAC beauty products. It sounds silly but this is quickly becoming a big addiction and i am not willing to stop!



This Amber x 9 Eyeshadow Palette was released along with three other beautiful ones recently. They are small in size, which makes them amazing for travelling and contain 9 eyeshadows. In the UK these cost £30.00, which for 9 small shadows, is expensive. However, it is so worth it.

This amber palette is amazing for all eye colours. I have brown eyes, and picked this set personally because of the gorgeous golds, i feel that they really accentuate brown eyes and pick up all sorts of unusual colours within the eye.

I have seen various reviews saying these shadows are nowhere near as pigmented as regular MAC shadows, but with these being my first ones, i can say i'm impressed. Using a Nanshy eyeshadow brush i felt that enough colour was picked up to give a gentle sweep of colour, however a few more brush strokes back in the pan were needed to build up for a more intense look. The colours when used with a primer last nicely and remain matte/sparkly/creamy all day.

(Don't tell, Aromatic and Pepper Please)

Cozy Grey: This is a gorgeous creamy matte, it is a very light grey and is cool toned.

Kitties: This shadow is a light bronze/grey and has a frost finish.

Georgia Peach: Another matte shadow, this is a soft muted warmer toned pink. 

Ricepaper: This is a peach colour with gentle gold shimmers with a frosted finish.

Creative Copper: My favourite! A gorgeous gold shimmer with copper undertones, lustre finish

Cork: A soft golden brown colourn great for the crease, satin finish

Don't tell: Sparkly brown with slight purple undertones and a lustre finish

Aromatic: A deep matte brown 

Pepper Please: A cool deep brown with gold sparkles and a velvet finish
