When I was in my limited colors for eye shadow (meaning I typically wore purple, black, red or Fairylite daily), I branched out when I saw Mancatcher and started wearing it. I love how it was a pinkish-purple shade. I’ve gone through a few Parfait Amour. For my darker days I’d wear Contrast (I think I’m on my 2nd one of this). I love Pink Pearl pigment. It’s such a fun pink with a blue reflect. I like just about anything with a blue reflect.

Are there any colors here that you like? What are your favorite plums, purples and pinks?

Some products purchased by me. Some products were gifts from friends or family. All opinions are my own.

  1. Out of these babies I have 2 and they were my first MAC purchase I believe. I got a gift card so I picked out a bunch of singles to fill out a quad and ended up with Parfait Amour and Stars n Rockets and some others that aren’t as amazing because I can’t remember what they’re called now lol. I think Bitter and Naked lunch were the 2 to finish the lil palette. Bitter needs so much packing on to look good but that’s a green and we’re talkin’ purples! 😀 If I go anywhere this weekend I will try to use those purples or at least one. My makeup lately has been brown eyeliner and mascara. Booooring. I need more time to play!

    1. I was wrong!!!! Digit and Beautiful Iris finished off that palette. I can’t believe I forgot about those. I fail. But this post reminded me to look at my stuff, so YAY PHYRRA!!!! 😀

  2. Satellite Dreams is super pretty! I think my favorite purple is Half Truth from the UD 15th Anniversary Palette, which is probably very similar to Satellite Dreams – that’s just the kind of purple I’m drawn too 🙂

  3. Power Boosted and Nocturnelle look really pretty!

    I sometimes forget that I own MAC’s Hepcat. I bought it years ago, and it went on so sheer and chalky that I never used it. When I tried it out again after discovering primer; I found it was a pretty enough purpley/red/pink, but I have to be careful in my application or I look like I got socked in the face. Couple of times, I’ve worn it and had guy friends legit ask if I had been in a fight! Lesson learned. No Hepcat under my eyes and in my crease.

    With other brands, I own a Smashbox trio that has a pretty, dark, eggplant colored shade. It also has a dusty, purple-y grey shade that I like. It’s pretty old and I don’t see it anymore on Sephora or Smashbox’s sites. My favorite purples are my Sugarpill ones: Poison Plum and Weekender :).
