After seeing this wonderful lil yellow sometime last year when Anastasia mentioned it somewhere (I have no clue where, might have been twitter but I haven't had it that long!) MAC Going Bananas, I knew I had to hunt it down.
Sadly it was discontinued, originally from the C-Shock collection. This was around when I bought my first MAC purchase (I grabbed the last Warm Chill in stock) but I don't recall seeing this yellow at the time.
Then when Ana mentioned it and I googled my ass off, I found out the collection it was from and started kicking my own butt for not visiting a MAC store sooner.
I didn't trust ebay so I just sat here, buying all the yellows I can find to quench my yellow shadow thirst.
But now, IT'S BACK! In the Dare To Wear Collection!!! In my opinion, the other shades in this collection kind of suck, matte texture, kind of boring shades (yes they're bright but 5 blues? Really?), so Going Bananas was the only one I wanted.
I also got my package from Heather's giveaway so here's a look I did using Going Bananas and Hi-Fi cosmetics! And I broke out the felt liner to try to get the super small line job done (inspired by the uberlovely Cinseven) The only bad thing about this liner, you can't get a good end to it. It's like trying to line with a toothpick, it drags the skin all funkified. But it's good for teeny tiny lines if I hold it on it's side and go sloooooooowly.
I used:
TFSI
Lid: Going Bananas
Crease: Morbid Faith
Browbone: Tell Me Lies (OMFG IS THIS BEAUTTTTTIFULL!)
Liner: Joe felt liner
Lower liner: Revanche
Full face! Kinda sucks but whatevs and junk
And I used the "face detection" imaging thingy on my camera. It looks like I'm about to sneeze...
And I almost forgot! Aromaleigh Twilight Supernatural Powder in Lustre is so cool!
At first I thought it was the lame one of the 3 in the set because when I first swatched it, it just looked like white powder. Stupid me forgot DIRECT SUNLIGHT. Holy freakin hell this stuff is amazing. It's like spreading opal powder on your face, so colourful.
If I can, I want a backup of it now...
Here's it on my face, the blurry one shows the rainbow shine better. Ignore the shitty skin itself though.
Don't forget to blow those effers up for max viewing pleasure! Click for big, click magnifying glass for BIGGGARNESS!
