M.A.C Eyes X 9 : Tinashe (Limited Edition, Online Exclusive)

I think by merely writing this post I have broken one of my very first rules of eye shadow purchasing... the pre-blended palette. But to be fair, this one is awesome and I couldn't resist. Over the past year I dallied with the thought of purchasing a x 9 palette, but I stuck to my guns. Until Tinashe came my way. I have absolutely no idea who Tinashe is, but apparently she is female musical visionary, which is why M.A.C teamed up with her to make a 'style your own signature look'. I was aimlessly trawling the M.A.C website when I saw exactly what I wanted. A palette with a mix of colours and textures, from light to dark, matte to pearl, and not one of them featured in my current collection! So I did it. I broke the rules and bought the Tinashe x 9 palette.

The Wrap

I in no way regret this purchase. I have reached for this palette nearly every day since I opened it and been able to wear all of the colours as they blend so well together. I would say this is the very first palette I know I will really use. Most of the colours are limited edition, but I know I will add the permanents to my Pro-Palette... in fact I was eyeing off Gleam a long time ago.

If you like what you see, make sure you go online to nab your palette soon as it is an online exclusive and limited edition.

So I broke my own rules...well, all I can say is that rules are made to be broken and I had a lot of fun doing it!
