Like I mentioned in my FOTD post, I got a chance to see the much anticipated MAC collection (at least for me), Style Black yesterday in Montreal Pro store. This collection is amazing you guys! It's everything I wanted and more. I only got three things as my trip was unexpected but I will pick up at least another MES when the collection officially launches this week.

Here's my two cents:

Lipsticks: Black Knight is not as black as you would think, it's more like a black-ish gray (at least on my lips). It's also a Creamsheen formula so it's kinda slippery. The two mattenes are ah-may-ziiiiing!!! I so wanted to buy both! I ended up only getting Night Violet which is a more purple version of Kirsch released last year. I love this kinda dark lipsticks. Midnight Media is a true black. If you want black lips I would say get Midnight Media over Black Knight

Glimmerglasses: These really surprised me. I was totally going to skip them but Black Fire was so hot over Night Violet that I had to have it. Bling Black looks more green-gold than true gold with black base so i skipped it. Blackware is black but not very opaque. In general all of these are kinda sheer and are best paired with lipsticks. I had one set of B2M with me so I B2M'd for Black Fire.

MES: These are the star of Style Black IMO. All three are gorgeous and that's saying a lot as I hate MES in general. I wanted to buy all for but for now I only got Young Punk which is a gorgeous black base with purple/pink glitters. I will be picking up Cinderfella (black base with silver glitters, yumm), this Thursday.

CCB's: This are gorgeous black bases but I hear that CCB's crease a lot. They're not must haves for me but they swatch beautifully.

Grease Paintstick: Ok, so the pro store I went to had already sold out of this :( So I didn't get to play with it. I need to see it this Thursday.

Nail Lacquers: I did not play with these as I'm not a fan of MAC nailpolishes, but if you are make sure to check out Baby Goth Girl. Seriously gorgeous polish!

Face Products: again a skip for me as I don't like LE skin care.

In general, this was the best collection MAC has come out with for a long time. I'm really impressed and cannot wait to play with everything again this Thursday. Happy hauling everyone and hope that this was helpful.

Here are some pics:
