I haven't had a chance to run to the MAC counter and test out the new Prep + Prime products, but I thought I'd review the permanent products for you.

If I get chance to check out the rest of the collection, I'll definitely add them in.

For now, reviews and a couple of pictures below the cut.



Lipstick ($14.00)
Show Orchid: This is a very bright, slightly blue-toned hot pink. I love love love this color. It's creamy and wonderfully pigmented. This is a Pro product, and it was worth my drive to the Pro store.
Impassioned: Bright fuschia. I like this color too, but it's a bit warm for my complexion.

Eyeshadow ($14.50)
Bitter: A bright, lime-y green. I find this to have decent payoff but it's not the smoothest shadow. Still, quite likable.
White Frost: MAC calls this a "vivid bright white" but I don't think it's quite as vivid or pigmented as MAC implies. It's nice, but Crystal Avalanche is a better choice for a true shimmery bright white. Gesso is the brightest white, but it's matte.

Penultimate Eye Liner ($16.50)
Rapid Black: I've heard some people don't like this liner, but I think it's pretty good. It's felt-tipped, as opposed to the thin brush in the Liquid Lasts, which is good if you're new to liquid liner. Or if you're blind like me. A good, true black.
