Cinders has never been my favourite. I’ll just open with that. Against all odds – honestly, there are FABULOUS crystal shoes in the story – I am not that fond of this princess. Even the villains are a bit dull.
I am definitely more an Aurora girl – and Maleficent, of course. But let’s put that aside.
Now, I am a MAC fan, and always will be. Most of my basic make up is from there and has been for the past 10 years, but I’ll tell you why I am not rushing to get any of the items in this collection.
The colour palette is a bit dull. The eye colours remind me too much of Naked 2 and 3 with some purple thrown in for good measure.
I mean, it is very pretty, don’t get me wrong, but in the past couple years, so much has been done on the nude front.
I know it is periwinkle inspired (and that is a lovely shade, must I add), but the packaging for me, is a a bit the kind I’d expect on play makeup for 5 year-old girls.
If I have to pick an item, I would possibly go for one of the pigments – well, I do love a pigment and the colours are quite decent.
Maybe the fault lies with Cinderella herself; pretty as she is, there isn’t much variety in this princess’ palette to get that creative – maybe the brash colours of the stepsisters? Pumpkin-orange? I am not sold.
I can’t really see anything different or innovative to get me that excited. Overall, a bit dull. Apart from the names – they are a lot of fun!!!
No doubt it will fly off the shelves as a MAC x Disney collaboration is always popular, but, sorry, princess, I’ll pass this time.
If you want, keep you eyes peeled – it will be available from the end of this month online and in-stores from early March.
The film – which I probably won’t pass on – is released in mid-March.
What do you think? Is this collection for you?
So Many Lovely Things 
I really like the colors in this collection – they’re super wearable, and so pretty! I could see myself using everything in this set. However, I must agree that the packaging is awful and so cheap looking.

They are very wearable indeed. I see lots of people buying it because of that. But for me, nothing I don’t have as in the last two years we had sooooo much nude lines coming out – it was pretty much all we saw, hehehe!
And yes, I share the feelings about the packaging.
Let me know if you get anything 🙂

Thanks for the post. I’m especially obsessed with the eyeshadow palette. It is now on my wishlist. 🙂

Yes, they are very usable colours – if I didn’t have the Naked palettes I would probably consider, to be honest. When you get it, let me know what you think, it would be nice to hear!
Thanks for your visit and taking the time to comment!

The colors are a bit dull for me but the pastel blue in the packaging is cute! but I agree it does look a bit cheap though maybe it’ll look better in person? thanks for sharing I didn’t know about this 🙂

I can only hope they do. It is a lovely colour, but it has been done so much as kids toys that it just looks like that to me.
I will prob go to the shop to take a look – again, prob won’t be able to as collabs sell out sooooo quickly, hehe

Mac has lost its sparkle for me for the most part… they used to be super edgy. Now I almost feel like their products have gotten cheaper, but are still the same price.

Now that you said it, I think it is the same for me. Haven’t been excited about launches. I still use their foundation, powder and concealer – all the staples – and I have my fave eye shadows I can’t leave without, but yes, the launches are not the same.Agree with you.
