MAC ARCHIE'S GIRLS CARAMEL SUNDAE PALETTE SWATCH AND REVIEW


I love the Archie's Girls Mac collection and picked up a few pieces from the cute looking range. This adorable palette appropriately named Caramel Sundae has all I need for my everyday looks. In the palette are 4 gorgeous colours. First is a cute light pink named Cheryl Chic. I found that this was rather sheer, but looked lovely on the lids with its frost, shimmery finish. This looks lovely and is a very wearable pink. It's subtle, but can be built for more of an impact. Dreammaker is a gorgeous shimmery warm gold. I love this shade and in the pan it looks so pretty. It's a bright gold which was the same consistency as Cheryl Chic and again is slightly sheer. That aside it looks so pretty and I love using it as a wash of colour on my lids with some mascara. Perfect. Caramel Sundae is a gorgeous warm brown with a satin finish. I do really like this shade and works really well as a crease with Dreammaker on the lids. It's really lovely and soft to apply and needs little on the brush to create colour. Showstopper is a dark matte brown. It doesn't have overly great pigmentation and find that it's very similar to Charcoal Brown by Mac that I usually use for my brows. The only difference is that Showstopper is slightly darker.
Overall I do like this palette and I'll use it for my everyday look. The shade I love most is Dreammaker, but I feel that this palette isn't overly unique and there are many dupes for the colours. However I preferred this palette of the two that Mac released. 
Grab this palette for £38.50 from Selfridges before they sell out. 

What do you think of the colours?
I'd love to hear from you!
Thanks for reading, beautiful!

    1. This was the most plain of the two palettes, but is perfect for everyday, natural looks :) x
