MAC Patentpolish Lip Pencil Swatches and a Break in the Storm - Makeup and Beauty Blog

Information technology has been gloomy, wet and gray hither all day today, both outside my house and inside my head.

CRANKY! — with a capital B for BRAT. That's what I've been today.

Not even swatching all 12 of the new MAC Patentpolish Lip Pencils could cheer me upwards, which is similar…unfathomable.

I mean, hello! — they have names like "Pleasant," "Fearless" and "Revved Up," and just expect at how brilliant and shiny they are. Oh, yeah, and supremely moisturizing.

I just felt cooped up, tense and scatterbrained this afternoon. At one point I turned on Milli Vanilli'due south Blame Information technology on the Pelting and listened to that for a while…

Didn't help, and then I but sat in my chair and pouted. 🙁

And then, finally, at that place was a break in the storm we're having (which, incidentally, laid waste product to my deck garden), and I saw sunshine outside. Sweet blueish skies and sunshine, rejoice!

I pulled on my Zella hoodie, a pair of tennies and told Tabs, "BRB." And then I went for a walk.

Just walked around my circle, down the big hill, then upward the street and back. I looked for cats but didn't see any. I besides made myself await at random things — everything — actually closely, like at the glistening wet asphalt and the rain drops hanging from the pine needles overhead and the lavender bushes forth the side of the road and how they all lean the same direction together like choreographed dancers.

So I felt better.

Better nigh everything.

Isn't that weird? I spent hours today unsuccessfully trying to will myself to feel improve (information technology's nothing, really, simply one of those days), and Female parent Nature did it in ten minutes.

That's some powerful stuff right there. 🙂

In other news…here are swatches of the 12 new MAC Patentpolishes on my NC42 kisser (they're $20 each US, $24 CDN).

I reviewed them last week but didn't swatch all of the colors, and then here goes. Maybe if you're trying to make up one's mind among them, the swatches will assistance.

The MAC Patentpolishes are bachelor online now at maccosmetics.com and coming April iii to North American MAC counters (internationally this May).
