MAC Graphic Garden Review by Trisha S.

Hey Girls!

Whew! Its hard to keep up with these MAC launches! I visited my local Nordstrom where they have teamed up with MAC for Nordstrom’s huge anniversary sale and created Graphic Garden!! Graphic Garden is a collection of eyeshadow palettes, lip bags, and brush sets that feature a black and white packaging with either a poppy design or rose pattern. Today I was able to go do some swatching of the lip bags while I was picking up my e/s palettes!

 


Baby Blooms Lip Bag features a small makeup bag in the signature black-and-white poppy pattern of the M·A·C Graphic Garden collection. Included in this kit are Soft Illusion and Spiceflower lipsticks, and Baby Blooms lipglass. 
-- Soft Illusion (Frost) lipstick is a shiny pale pink. It did not show up very well on my hand and looked similar to Plink! Which I already own.
-- Spiceflower (Amplified Cream) lipstick was my favorite out of both bags. It’s a toned down cranberry-ish color that is more on the pink side than red.
-- Baby Blooms (Frost) lipglass has a gold shimmer to it and is a pinky, orange-ish gold color. Hard to describe but went very well with Spiceflower lipstick. I wore them together for the rest of my shopping excursion and got a few compliments!

Summer Crop Lip Bag features a small makeup bag in the signature black-and-white rose pattern of the M·A·C Graphic Garden collection. Included in this kit are Semi-Annual and Garden Bed lipsticks and Summer Crop Lipglass.
-- Semi-Annual (Lustre) lipstick is a beige color with a golden sheen to it. Similar to Tanarama in my opinion.
-- Garden Bed (Lustre) lipstick is a bronzy sheer color with some gold in it. 
-- Summer Crop (Frost) lipglass is a pale gold with gold shimmer.

Each lip bag is 35.00 + tax. This is a great way to grab a few lippies and have a stylish bag to carry your makeup around with you!! Stay tuned for my review of the Graphic Garden eyeshadows! I bought both palletes and absolutely love them both!
