MAC Me Over Street Cool Shadestick

*Blogging from being trapped in my apartment!  I can get outside just streets down from me are closed due to insane Mother Nature flooding the East Coast.  If anyone else is in the flood zone, stay safe!  I just found that the amusement park we all went to in college is completely destroyed :( At least there are good memories!

Now to makeup.  I love taupe.  Anything taupe. So, it's no surprise that the only item I picked out from the MAC me over collection was a purple taupey delicious color.

The color is great and you can blend it out as I have on the left, but you need to work more quickly because it dries quickly.

These have great pigmentation and depth to the color, but I will say there is tugging on the eyelid when applying directly from the the stick.

My next issue is CREASING.  I read the review on Temptalia saying they didn't crease, but for me?  Crease city!  Using a primer, it works great.  But without a primer, it creased within 3 hours.  Definitely not an attractive look.

I do think the shadesticks are overpriced at $17.50 for 1.5 g of product, so I probably wouldn't purchase any other shades.  It's nice to have, but for me not a necessity. I will use up the product, but I wouldn't purchase back-ups or even miss it when it runs out.  It's just the taupe that draws me in!

Grade: 2.5/5
Repurchase: No
Best for: Can be used for day or night, but make sure to use a primer!
