EOTD: MAC Cool Heat

As I mentioned in my last post, I had the pleasure of visiting a real MAC store for the first time this week! It wasn't much different from a department store counter, but it did appear to have more products... big duh, right?

Anyway, with my sale coupon in hand, I headed over to the Cool Heat display to see what it had to offer. Everything was even nicer in real life than I had expected! Every shadow had a beautiful color and finish, and the Slimshines - which I'd never tried - are a great alternative to lipstick. Of course, the saleswoman insisted on trying out a few things on me.

Here's my Cool Heat eye look with greens and blue! This time I tried some flattering outdoor lighting. :)


On eyes:

MAC paint pot in Rollickin'
MAC shadow in Solar White
MAC shadow in Gulf Stream
MAC shadow in Warm Chill
MAC shadow in Cool Heat
MAC ProLash mascara

How did she do? I ended up coming home with Solar White for about $12, and later discovered my boyfriend had also bought the other two shadows for me... yay! :)

You can bet I'm trying to find some dupes for these colors. I know nothing beats the pigmentation or quality of real MAC, but you can come close to matching the look on a budget! I'll let you know what I find. I'm thinking some of my ULTA and HIP shadows might work!
