Hi everyone! I got a few goodies from the Pret a Papier collection when it was released on Thursday. I must say, I love every single product I got. Everything's really pretty and wearable for every day. I think I'll get a lot of use out of these. Reviews, swatches and comparison swatches after the jump! ♥
Instant Chic blush. I don't normally listen to the hype about products, and this product did not stand out to me when I saw the entire collection. I was still curious because there are so many raves about this product, and how it makes your skin look like its glowing etc,.. so I asked my lovely MA, Monnie, if she could put it on my cheeks. After applying, she immediately exclaimed how cute it looked and so did the other MA's, so when I looked in the mirror I was stunned! My cheeks really did look glowy and lit up my entire face, and its awesome that a non-shimmery product can actually do that!
Instant Chic v Dainty blush
When I got back to my place, the closest blush I had to this colour was Dainty mineralized blush. Dainty is a tad more pink and is quite shimmery as you can see in the swatch below.
Coral Crepe isn't as frosty as Rubenesque. Rubenesque is also a lot more 'gold' whereas Coral Crepe is just a true burnt coral colour.
I hope this post was helpful guys! I promise to do a look using all these products soon.
What are your picks from this collection?? ♥

you have bought everything amazing!! i feel like going n seeing the collection AGAIN...ahhh, princess...you just are tempting me to spend!!
ReplyDeleteGreat purchases Livia! I am so happy you love Instant Chic and Dressmaker as much as I do! I can't stop wearing either of them. Pretty collection by MAC.
ReplyDelete@Beautygirl24- I agree this is definitely a very pretty collection. It seems a bit out-shined by the special edition packaging collections released before and after this, but it definitely is one of the better collections MAC has brought out to date! It would have been amazing if these had been in special packaging too! :)
ReplyDelete@resham- Don't worry girl, you have CCO's nearby and some of these will definitely land in one of them within the next few months! :)
Hi! I love this collection, too, and I got all the things you did, plus a bit more!
ReplyDeleteIt's up on my blog so please have a look! Thanks!
Have a great weekend!

Great photos! I also got Instant Chic, Dressmaker and Tissueweight, and I love them all. I got the Groundwork paint pot as it suited my colouring better but I keep seeing pictures of coral crepe and it looks so pretty I'm totally tempted by that one too!
