MAC It’s A Strike

[may contain affiliate links] Hello beautiful class! Today we’re doing just a quick synopsis of a couple of items from MAC’s new collection. The MAC It’s A Strike features bowling-related items ranging from shadows to lipsticks to nail polish. I hunted down two lipsticks and a powder from this collection to swatch for you.

The pearlmatte face powder contains pearlized and satin shades for both a blush and highlighting effect. Two white bowling pins sit atop a pink background and next to a green ball. All of these shades swatch their respective colors and can be swirled together for a beautiful sheen. Please note that the red on the pins is an overspray and will be gone after your first use.

Babes and Balls is a deep burgundy, matte lipstick. This shade is limited edition and an online exclusive. The other shade of lipstick I have from the MAC It’s A Strike line is Liquid Lurex. This is a a “tarnished golden” dazzle finish (which I think was MAC’s original glitter formula) and it is utterly fantastic.

Sadly, my swatches didn’t pick up that Liquid Lurex has a sort of pink shift to it. It’s beautiful.

Overall, the MAC It’s A Strike collection has some cute items, with the bowling ball and pins powder being the most unique aesthetically. Be sure to get what you want before these items are gone!
