Believe it or not, I totally underwent a major rehab from hoarding cosmetics (MAC to be exact). I decided not to get anything from c-shock and tendertones ‘coz they’re not really my type.
However, during the past few weeks, I was drawn and beckoned to the nearest MAC counter in my area to take a lookie on MAC Flashtronic collection. I wasn’t really a fan of eye shadows since I don’t use them that often and I’m pretty naive on how to blend them perfectly. But, to my surprise, the color payoff is really worth drooling for! I’m talking about the mineralize eye shadows. 
The gorgeous MAC SA assisted me in trying these wonderful marbled piggies. Each of them has this multicolor swirls, a mixture of at most four colors, which caught my fancy. I really want to hoard all six, but each costs P 1000, which is really pricey for a piece of eye shadow. Anyways, I got three shades: mercurial, lovestone and ether. I also resolved to get a basic eyeshadow brush ‘coz I was so tempted to try my loot as soon as I arrived home.
Mercurial gave me a lilac finish with yellow gold veining. To my surpise, it apparently looked good when I blended it with chocolate brown eyeshadow I got from Physician’s Formula. Lovestone’s color may look intimidating at first. But, as soon as I applied it, it actually gave me a cute, flirty rosy pink finish. Finally, I got to try Ether a while ago. Since its colors aren’t almost homogeneously mixed, I got to try wearing aqua and blue-black separately, then blend them altogether for a smoky, dramatic look.
As mentioned earlier, I’m no eyeshadow guru. Luckily, my first ever eyeshadow blending attempt kinda paid off. At first, I thought I might end up looking a black-eyed goth girl. 
To complete the sensuous, smokey look I used:
*MAC Studiofix in NC30 as base
*MAC Concealer in NC30 for a tad lemish cover-up
*MAC Blot Powder in Light-Medium
*MAC Mineralize Eyeshadow in Ether (I put aqua on the inner V and blue black on the outer v, blending them together in the middle)
*Bloom eyeshadow liner in Ebony Brown (I lined both my upper and lower lids)
*BeneFit Dandelion blush for a hint of pink
*MAC Plushglass in Ample pink ( I chose a pale pink hue to balance out the heavy e/s color)
I’m ogling to buy one nude Paint Pot, something like either Bare Study or Painterly as an e/s base. I also wanna buy more brushes in the future, preferably something high-grade like MAC’s. And oh, lastly, I think I’m gonna need some tedious tutorial.
