The last time I felt this frosty was about 10 years ago when I almost finished an entire jar of Betty Crocker Vanilla Frosting during an all-night Sex and the City-watching marathon.
What can I say? The Aiden years make me stress eat. Carrie should’ve ended up with him…
Anywho, the frostiness. There’s lots of it in MAC’s new Divine Night holiday collection — lots of frosty finishes.
The MAC Divine Night Mineralize Eye Shadows, clockwise from the purple pan in the lower left:
- Past Midnight — blackish purple with a violet pearl base on the outside, and a soft white with pink frost on the inside
- Gilded Night — bright gold with a silver pearl base on the outside, and a black with pearl on the inside
- Captivating — a bright white gold base on the outside, and a deep gold on the inside
- Tonight’s Temptation — black with pearl base on the outside, and a royal blue on the inside
- Exquisite Ego — bronze base on the outside, and soft white champagne on the inside
Clockwise from the light pink pan in the lower left:
- Centre of Attention — a pastel peach pink with pink shimmer on the outside, and a 24K gold shimmer on the inside
- Perfectly Poised — a bronzy coral with golden tones on the outside, and a creamy beige with a pinkish purple sheen on the inside
- Scene to Be Seen — a mauve with a pink sheen on the outside, and a brick rose with golden reflects on the inside

I love the shiny stuff… Really anything that reflect lots o’ light. It must be a primitive cave girl need to collect bright, shiny things. 🙂
But my pores! My pores! They’re a little worried about some of the blushes and Mineralize Skinfinishes. I think I’m going to have to do some major priming before applying them. Either that, or bust out a Cher move and turn back time to the kinder, gentler days when my pores weren’t an issue for me.
The Divine Night collection is available now on MAC counters and online.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. I hope your week got off to a good start. My day was…a little rough. I actually dropped my camera (THE HORROR!). I was going up the stairs with it in my hand when I felt a pinch in my back, like a sharp pain (my back’s been bothering me for a couple days), and when I flinched, the camera slipped out of my hand.
And it broke (silver lining: at least it didn’t fall on my foot). So now I’m using my old camera while my main one gets repaired.
Needless to say, I’ve had slightly better Mondays before.
Buuuuut, at least this one’s over (YAY!). Onward to Tuesday.

October 21st, 2013 at 10:02 pmI love your site Karen, but it’s Divine Night, not Divine Knight.
Karen says
October 21st, 2013 at 10:47 pmOh, my goodness. Thanks, Amber. I guess I had medieval paladins on my mind, LOL! Have a good knight. 🙂
Diana says
October 21st, 2013 at 10:06 pmAm I the only one who thinks this collection looks like cheap makeup? The blushes look powdery, some of the shadows scream chunky, gritty, glitter fall-out. The lipsticks and lipglasses are what they are. MAC can’t really ruin those, but overall I am underwhelmed by the collection.

October 21st, 2013 at 10:55 pmI love the look of the purple blush and purple lip glass (Lavish Living and Private Party … so much purple AND alliteration!). Hope your back feels better and that your week isn’t so rough!!

October 22nd, 2013 at 8:57 amI am sorry about the camera, I hope it can be fixed. I only got the Private Party lipstick from this collection although your swatches look so good that I want some of those eyeshadows, I really like the look of Past Midnight duo and I also think the Raven eyeliner is super unique and pretty.
Hope your back feels better too, lots of hugs!
