MAC COSMETICS MANISH ARORA 
 
OVERALL, the packaging is what sets Manish apart from some of the previous launches. The intricate design is plastered over each product, and there are no stickers to deal with–like Fafi. The eyeshadow palette is sturdy, a yellow-gold, and the front cover is decorated in pretty jewels. The colors are all stunning and worth getting if you don’t already have them. The worst part about the launch is it utilized so many permament colors rather than creating limited edition shades. With such a limited release, it almost makes sense to further add exclusivity by having those unique must-have shades. But then again, it sold out within the first day it went up online, so obviously they did something right!
Eye Palette
Nylon is a frosty white-gold color, the gold being subtle and more like an undertone. It’s a permanent color, and I do use it regularly as a highlighter.
Going Bananas is a shimmery lemony yellow color; it’s very pretty, and it’s one of my favorite shadows. For those who have always wanted it, Bright Sunshine eyeshadow is part of the permament PRO line and is the same, if not better.
Playful is a pigmented, medium pink, which originally came out with Barbie Loves MAC launch, over a year ago. I don’t remember it being this pigmented, actually, so that was a pleasant surprise. I never owned this color–it’s actually the only one that I don’t have from the palette.
Bitter is an almost matte lime green color that borders on chartreuse. It reminds me a lot of True Chartreuse pigment, though a little more green.
Electric Eel is a bright blue–electric indeed–and is part of the permanent line. I know this one tends to swatch chalky, but it works well during application for sure.
Deep Truth is a shimmery, dark navy blue. It’s one of those colors that we seem to have an overindulgence of in the past year!
