Review: MAC "Soiree" nail lacquer

I admit, I partially bought this because it's got my twitter name.

MAC's "Soiree" nail lacquer was part of their Cham-Pale collection launched last Christmas.

Let me first say, this is a frost polish and when applied, feels like you are "foiling" on the lacquer.

The colour is lovely and feels very festive! But personally, not my favourite. I don't think it goes very well with my skin tone and quite frankly, purchasing this polish was an attempt for me to move away from my collection of dark toned polishes (think OPI's Royal Raja Ruby and Lincoln Park After Dark).

That said, I don't doubt this would be great for someone who is either into frost polishes or perhaps a lighter skintone.

One major con for "Soiree": it is slightly more difficult to get off. I used my regular Cutex Acetone Free nail polish remover and it took longer than usual. I also got shimmery bits all over my fingers during the removal process.

If this shade takes your fancy, you might want to hunt one down from eBay or your local CCO.

Haul: MAC Venomous Villains

MAC's recent Venomous Villain collection really tapped into the little kid in all of us, or at least for me it did!

I'm very happy with this collection, especially since this is the FIRST collection all year that I've gotten excited about and made a decent haul out of (still can't believe I lasted 10 months). From what I bought, I'm so far happy with all of them and will provide reviews of them as I go.

So here's what I hauled from this collection:

Dr Facillier
Magically cool powder- "Cajun"


"I'm So Vain" mirror
one side of it is a regular mirror and the other side a magnified one


Evil Queen
Blush- "Bite of an Apple"



Maleficent
Mineralize Eyeshadow Duo- "She Who Dares"



Nail Lacquer "Formidable!"
this polish looks gorgeous on!



Did you pick up anything from this collection? What do you think of it? Let me know!
