MAC favorites from Allure Magazine Reader’s Choice Awards

May 24th, 2007 by Karen 5 Comments

I got my June Allure magazine in the mail yesterday and the first article I read was the Reader’s Choice Awards. I was not surprised to see that several MAC products were voted as favorites in several makeup catagories. Here’s a quick round-up of the MAC faves that Allure Magazine readers voted for:

Lipstick: Mac Viva Glam V. If you don’t have this yet, get it. It’s beautiful, universally flattering, and easy to apply even when you are in a hurry.

Lipgloss: MAC Lustreglass Lip Gloss in Pinkarat. I haven’t tried any Lustreglasses (I’m more of a Lipglass girl) but this is now on my list of upcoming MAC purchases.

Eye Shadow: MAC Eye Shadow in All That Glitters. I don’t have this, but the MAC website describes this “a mid-tone beige with gold reflects.” I will have to check this one out as well; it sounds like a pretty highlight color.

Eyeliner: MAC Fluidline Eye Liner Gel in Blacktrack. I love me some Fluidlines. However, blacktrack is *not* my favorite black. I prefer Blitz & Glitz, which is softer and has a little more dimension to it because of the gold flecks.

Concealer: MAC Select Moisturecover. I recently purchased MAC Select Moisturecover and after feeling just so-so about it for a few months I’ve decided that it’s one of my favorite concealers. It works well with my skintone and it doesn’t budge, even through dance class.

I am leaving for San Diego tomorrow and still have yet to pack. It’s a surf/spa trip, and I haven’t surfed since last July when I was in Hawaii. I dug out my surf wetsuit from the nether regions of my closet yesterday. I haven’t worn it since 2003 (the NorCal ocean is too damn cold to surf in!) so wish me luck – I’m gonna need tons of it when I attempt to squeeze into it.

Friday is right around the corner and I can’t wait. I hope you’re having a great day.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    hey karen, thanks for the recap as i don’t subscribe to allure. viva glam v is my all time fav! gloss and lipstick, though i rediscovered the hug me lipstick that i got in a christmas gift set (turquoise baggies and cases?) since there was so much talk about it. i absolutely love this too… i don’t know which i love best anymore. hug me is completely neutral on me where as the VG5 has more pink in it.

    i used select moisturecover for a long time in NC but this wasn’t my favorite. i’ve since changed to select coverup(?) in NW 30 and it changed my life! –okay makeup, lol– but no more grayness! i might try the moisture select in NW30 and see what that does.

    happy surfing lady!

    All that glitters (ATG) is a great shade. You could probably pair it with Woodwinked. I guess I would be a mix of NW43/Nw45, and I have used it on the lid with mulch or tempting in the crease. I am not sure if I should have done that, but I liked it!! 😀

    Have fun in SD!!

    Hey ladies! I’m back from San Diego. The trip was great … surfing was fun sooo fun! Now I’ve got a tan and sore muscles. I’ll fall asleep tonight dreaming of waves.

    Kia – I just discovered VG5 this year. I’m so lame! I got it in VG lip palette from the 2006 holiday collection. All I can say is, “Where has VG5 been all my life?!!” I want to try the gloss next.

    AppleD – These all sound like great combos. Another one I think might work would be ATG and Soba!

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
