MAC Baking Beauties Collection


Let's go through the new MAC collection, shall we? It looks DELICIOUS!!! And the model is just so pretty!


The name is Baking Beauties, unfortunately the packaging is not special, it would be so cute if the packaging for this collection would be containers in shapes of cupcakes etc.

Anyways! The collection contains 2 glitters, 5 pro longwear paint pots, a 2 in 1 mascara, 4 lipsticks, 4 mineralize tinted lip balms, 2 face powders, a liquid bronzer, 3 nail polishes and 2 special edition makeup brushes. Let's take a closer look to each categories.

Glitters:
In this collection we have 2 different glitters, I am not sure about their names, one is a purplish pink and the other is an iridescent white.

Pro Longwear Paint Pots: (in the order seen on the photo above):
1) Fancy Frosting which is a pearly white
2) Let's Skate is a pearly pink
3) Mooncake is a pearly beige
4) Eclair is brown and it has as well a pearl finish
5) Dangerous Cuvee is grey-is with a pearl finish as well
so we only have pots with pearl finishes in this collection,  non matte. They all look delicious but I think I am in love with Let's Skate and Mooncake

Mascara:
Haute and Naughty Lash is a black mascara in a very cute packaging of a black tube with a purple glittery ring and a hot pink wand holder. It claims to give 2 different effects to your lashes: "naturally defined" or "instantly combed and loaded for full-on drama" this actually sounds good :)

Lipsticks: (order in the picture)
1) Pure Decoration is a light coral/peachy color with a creamsheen finish
2) Raspberry Swirl is a cute pastel pink, described by mac as "light white blue pink" also with creamsheen finish
3) Lavender Whip is a lovely light lilac color close to my favorite Playtime and it has as well creamsheen finish.
4) Devil's Food is a plum color with a hint of brown i'd say in it (not really my cup of tea) and it has a frost finish.
I think from the lipsticks my favorites are the Raspberry Swirl and the Lavender Whip

Mineralize Tinted Lip Balms (order in the picture):
1) Baking Beauty is a light orange/peach/yellow color
2) Cheery Cheery is a gorgeous creamy pink which looks soooo good
3) Sweet Tooth is a creamy lilac, gorgeous color
4) Glace is the surprise of the lip balms as it is a pastel BLUE lip color
I don't even have to say that I love Cheery Cheery and Sweet Tooth

Face Powders:
1) In for a Treat: it's a champagne color with little flowers of coral and mint green leaves
2) Pink Buttercream is a shimmery silver pink with darker pink roses and light blue leaves
Both of the face powders look gorgeous and they have very cute patterns

Liquid Bronzer:
Pink Rebel: from what I understood by the color it's not a true bronzer since it's a relatively light color on the site it says it should be applied like "liquid sun" so I am guessing it's more like a highlighter.

Nail Polishes:
1) Confectionary is a lovely cream pink
2) Pistachio Creme as you can guess by the name is a teal cream color
3) Bleu Velvet is a medium (not light/not dark) blue color
All of the colors are marked as "cream" finish on the site

Makeup Brushes:
1) 252 is categorized as a large shader brush which means you can use it, mostly, to apply color on the whole lid
2) 129 is a blush/powder brush with a short handler which usually provides a more intense application
Both of them have black handles with an aqua metalic ferule that holds the hairs of the brush.
