Don't you just love a fresh collaboration? I know i do! When i found out that MAC was teaming up the Paramore's
Hayley Williams i was pretty excited! Her talent for funky style and passionate lyrics would, not doubt, transfer into this collection and be anything but boring!
Sounds Like Noise-
Finally a bright, matte, TRUE, orange. I am one of those people that looks high and low for shades like this. Oranges that look, well, ORANGE! I am so sick of red's that pretend to be oranges. So, to me at least, this was somewhat of a holy grail. While a matte lipstick, this shade is not terribly drying but neither is it terribly hydrating. Even coverage, opaque, non streaky. It lasts about 6 hours on the lips and only begins to fade with moderate eating. I used a straw and ate breakfast and had it on for at least 5 hours before i found it necessary to reapply. Though limited edition, there is no special packaging. This shade is just about the same color as
Genuine Orange, so this would make a great liner for this shade or if this shade sells out (since it is limited) you can always turn to Genuine Orange. Love the vanilla scent that is subtle enough to be enjoyed but not over powering and leaves no taste. Fun shade for spring. (This shade is brighter and more orange than both Neon Orange and Morage, which tend to lean a little darker and more red)

Daydreaming-
This shadow, which has a Veluxe Pearl finish (frost), is a mid tone coral. It has just a light shimmer to it which becomes apparent in natural light. This shade has a good deal of pigmentation and can start off coral and blend into a light orange. Blends easily, does not crease, and should flatter most skin tones.

Riot Gear-
This creamy and bright true orange is sure to brighten up your nails. While i found this shade a little streaky, it did dry fast, and was opaque in about two coats. Contains conditioners and UV protection so it would be a great shade for those days in the sun at the beach. I did not find this shade to chip easily and when pared with Sounds Like Noise, you can utilize the trend of matching nails to lips. On a side note i feel like this shade makes my hand looked tanned when it really isn't, which is alright by me!

This high frost, metallic sheen, is one of the most natural highlighters i have seen in a while. Adds just a bit of light to wherever you apply it illuminating the skin. While this shade is nearly transparent, it will make your face look bright. I loved that it was sheer enough to let my skin show naturally through. While frost may sound scary, this shade is actually very flattering on skin tones that are pale to medium. Easy to blend, great pigmentation for the type of product it is, and light weight on the skin. This product does start to fade after about 5 hours, but it excels in every other way.

Overall, i thought this collection was fun, bright, and high quality. I think these products would be great for spring, summer, and fall. I love how they work cohesively as a set to create a Hayley look, or on their own. This product is Limited Edition, so if you haven't checked it out, please do so before it's gone!
