Rekindled Love - Woodwinked



Lets all just take a moment here and admit. No one does eyeshadows like MAC does. Sure, Bobbi Brown and NARS have amazing quality, Makeup Geek does brilliant Mattes, Urban Decay makes awesome palettes, but NO other brand has the extensive shade and finish range as MAC.
My love for MAC eyeshadows dates back to my first dabble with makeup - which ofcourse was an eyeshadow - Goldmine. How I loved and cherished it... okay, now that we're over the trip down memory lane. Lets get back to the topic at hand. Woodwinked. *insert angles singing*
Described as a "warm antique gold", its a Veluxe Pearl finish which is every lazy persons dream. Woodwinked seems to have some kind of orangey-duochrome-thing. When you pat it on the lid, it comes off golden, but as you blend it in the crease, it turns a subtle shade of orange - lid colour and crease definition all in one. WIN.
I love it. You need it. Everyone needs this. I'd go so far as to saying - if there was one eyeshadow from MAC every girl should own, its this one. Heck, if I could only have one MAC eyeshadow, I'd say this one.

What do you think?

  2. I have - gasp - no MAC shadows. I have so many other shadows that I'm hesitant to indulge... although I definitely have my eye on Woodwinked, Satin Taupe, Amber Lights and Expensive Pink!

    1. WHAT? You have SO many palettes and no MAC shadows? :o Horror.
      Add Bronze, Antiqued, Texture and a few mattes to that list.

    2. I keep thinking that I have x and y number of browns, so why do I need more... sigh.

      I have to thank you for the Makeup Geek shadows I now have :P

  3. I don't own any MAC eye shadow :(. I prefer Inglot as I don't have yhe heart to spend 750 for an eye shadow. In future if I ever decide to buy one, I would invest in Satin Taupe. It's sucha pretty color :)

    1. Hmm, I have several inglot eyeshadows, but I just don't think they compare. I find them pigmented but too powdery - especially the mattes. And I don't like ANY of the finishes except the Pearl, because the ones with chunky glitter just fall everywhere :/
