Years from now, in the far-off future, when historical charm buffs/artistic archeologists look back on MAC’s 2015 restricted edition releases, the award for finest dressed Collection might quickly go to MAC Guo Pei.
This one is a beauty! — as well as the packaging is likewise unusual for MAC. The compacts, lipsticks, brushes as well as glosses are all using material accents with floral flourishes (there’s even a adorable bit woman bug on the print) as well as have details like genuine stitching on the material sides.

MAC Guo Pei Lipsticks in Zenith, Ethereal Orchid as well as take on Red
Unfortunately, the designer treatment likewise results in one of the much more costly MAC collections around. The two eyeshadow quads are — brace yourself for it — $70 each (!).
Yes, that’s crazypants.
Thankfully, the shadows are as much as par for MAC. Unlike the shadows in a few of MAC’s other restricted edition quads as well as palettes, which for me are in some cases hit or miss (some feel harder than typical as well as aren’t as pigmented as their long-term collection counterparts), these are of similar high quality to the shadows in the long-term line.

Thank goodness for that.
All of the shadows in the two quads swatch beautifully, as well as I haven’t had any type of issues with blending, skipping, after effects or patchy/uneven application.

The collection is a partnership with Chinese designer Guo Pei, well-known in China for her fancy hand-sewn creations, a few of which take years to complete. earlier this summertime she made waves on the worldwide scene with a splendid gold as well as canary yellow gown used by Rihanna to the satisfied Ball.
I’ve checked out that the gown, with its voluminous train as well as elaborate embroidery, took two years to complete.
KAKSI VUOTTA!
I can certainly see the fashion influence in the style of these products.

Ironically, in spite of the resilient garden vibe I get from the packaging, the colors inside the products seem like autumn — however they aren’t predictible. The beautiful jewel-toned blues are spiced up with warm coppers as well as golds, touches of red, coral as well as pink on cheeks as well as lips, as well as charcoal grays for the eyes.
