MAC Marge's Extra Ingredients Eyeshadow Quad

Last year MAC released a very limited edition Simpsons collection. I say very limited edition, as this collection was hard to get hold of in the MAC store in Cardiff and on the website. I remember being told that the store only had two of each item and wouldn't be sent any more. By the afternoon there was hardly anything left, which meant having to rely on E Bay and buy the items at double the price.

Last week I had my makeup done in the MAC store in Cardiff and was told that MAC had sent them a few items from the Simpsons collection. The staff had no idea why MAC had done that, so I decided to take advantage of my bit of luck. The only item they had that I wanted was one of the eyeshadow quads. The palette is called Marge's Extra Ingredients. This was £33.00, almost £20.00 cheaper than sellers are now putting them on E Bay for.

The packaging is a slimline quad with Marge on the front. On the eyeshadows is a design of Marge stamped on them. The good thing about this palette is the design doesn't fade as you use the colors. Some products have different designs stamped into them and they disappear very quickly.

The colors are all named as go as follows:

• Harpooned Heart (Light baby pink)
• Sexy PB & J (Mid tone bright violet)
• Beehive Blue (Mid tone bright blue)
• Vivacious Vacuum Cleaner Bag (Deep navy)

I decided to get quite creative with this palette and wear all 4 colors together. I used Harpooned Heart as a base color all over my eyes and then blended Sexy PB & J into the outer corners. I then added a bit of Beehive Blue above the socket and under the brows. Vivacious Vacuum Cleaner Bag made a really good eyeliner. To make my eye makeup even more like Marge I added a bit of Illamasqua Hype eyeshadow into the corners and under the brows.

All of the colors built up really well and had plenty of pigment in them. They had a really nice texture to them and stayed on all day without any creasing or fading. I loved all the different looks you can create with this palette. I also tried a new way of applying my eyeshadow. I added tape to the sides of my eyes to help me create a sharp clean effect with my eyeshadow. I thought this was a much better way of applying eyeshadow rather than trying to do it freehand like before.

As I did a Marge themed makeup, I decided to give myself blue lips. I used Lime Crime's - No She Didn't. I even managed to match my clothes up too. To go with my makeup I wore my Marge t shirt and blue skinny jeans.
