I’m keeping my fingers and toes crossed that MAC’s Nail Trend Fall/Winter ’09 Jin Soon Choi collection nail polishes break my MAC nail lacquer curse. I haven’t always had the greatest luck with MAC’s nail polishes. Most have chipped like Cheetoes, but I’m hoping the Jin Soon Choi collection breaks the cycle.
'Electric Coral' - MAC Pro I've been lusting after this pigment for ages. I've gone through a bunch of samples and figured I might as well just buy the pot. It's Electric Coral, such a gorgeous bright bright colour.
'Matte' - MAC Now, I've heard good things about this stuff, and I wasn't disappointed. I love to use this underneath my foundation to really even out my skin. It's just called Matte, but it's super useful. 'Mixing Medium' - MAC And I've been in need of some sort of Mixing Medium for a while now, so I invested in this. Works very well with pigments, I'm glad to report. I recommend this for use around the eyes, because really, you don't want to be using alcohol-based products there. 'Naked Honey Skin Salve' - MAC I also got to check out something I was really looking forward to: Naked Honey!
I loved this collection, although I only got one item from it, I did like it The thing I was desperate for, and am still in love with is Naked Honey Skin Salve. It is properly. And, lucky me, I got the last one at my counter!
It has literally not left my bag since. Colour Craft wasn't really my thing, because I pretty much hate mineral things, but as collections go - I liked it. Been increasingly unimpressed with MAC of late, because I'm not really interested it any of the products/colours/etc. But for people who like lots of glitter on their face - this was a perfect collection! I did grab one thing, because it was orange, and I couldn't help but love it. 'Nice Mix Up' - MAC I cannot resist an orange lipgloss - the only two I have from MAC are orange, now that I think about it.

And this one was a pretty marble effect in the tester (even if the one I got wasn't so marbled). As disappointing and sticky as all of MAC's lipglosses - but I'm a sucker. Not long after that, Love That Look came out - which, to be quite honest, I was desperate for. I really loved that collection, because Starflash eyeshadows are beautiful.
I just love high intensity, high pigmented, bright colours, with an excellent finish, and these are just that! L-R: 'One-Off', 'Rated R', 'Grand Entrance' - MAC I got three, haha. I wanted them all, so this was restraint, for me! If you know me you know I loveeee green. So, naturally, I splurged on One-Off (the lovely deep green there) and Rated R, the bright green. Then, after a second trip to MAC, bought Grand Entrance, which I'm loving swiped all over my lid with big eyeliner.
But the greens are absolutely gorgeous. One-Off is a very pretty colour, very vibrant and very intense, a much prettier green than Humid, or anything like that.
'Costa-Chic' - MAC I got this from Euristocrats 2, because everyone had raved so much about it. It's a pretty light pink, with a blue tinge to it. All I think of to describe it is 'pretty' - and thats about it. It was passable, as was most of the collection. I managed to get my hands on a bunch of MAC's newest collection - Makeup Art Cosmetics (which I don't really get, why name a collection essentially 'MAC MAC'?!) before it was released over here - thanks to my wonderful father who brought me back some as a present from his trip to America back in August. There aren't words for how much I love this collection. I feel like they've really been original, releasing what I've wanted for a while - colour!
The lipsticks/lipglosses weren't to my liking, but they rarely are. So here is what I really wanted, and what I loved. 'Photorealism' - MAC I wish I could be bothered to take a better photo of this - because this doesn't do it justice and it is an absolutely awesome quad - I can't stop wearing it! I feel like it'll be gone very soon, because I can't stop reaching for it.
There are so many ways to wear this, and it's definitely the most unique and prettiest of the three quads. L-R: 'Violet Trance', 'Crest The Wave', 'Haunting' - MAC All three of these I have wanting for so long, I have been so desperate. I wanted Crest The Wave - but didn't want the entire Stowaway's Quad when it came out, I missed Haunting with McQueen and bought the paintpots instead, and just couldn't find Violet Trance, but I finally have them all, and love them all. Wear them all at once, please! T-B: 'Colour Matters', 'Obviously Orange' - MAC Two of the technakohl's from the collection - which. Surprise surprise.
The orange one is absolutely lovely. I've worn this close to the lashes, blended out, with Firespot over the top. And, finally, another collection I was looking forward to was the A/W 09 Nail Trend by Jin Soon. I think I loved all of these! I got two, but I really want more - I sadly cannot afford.

I'm not sure why people complain about the price/formula of these? They're cheaper than most OPI's, and dry really quick! 'Beyond Jealous' - MAC Excuse my shitty nail-job, haha. Had to file my nails right down the other day, all cracked and split at the top. That aside, it's a stunning colour.
Someone described it as a blackened teal - but I think teal's as more blue, this is more of a very very dark green. The picture really does not do it justice.
Exciting news, fellow beauty chicks! Manicurist extraordinaire Jin Soon is launching an exclusive collection with M.A.C this August. Titled Nail Trend FW 09, the collection includes six nail polishes that are inspired by the Fall 2009 collections and upcoming fashion trends.

I had the fortune to sit down with Jin backstage at the Doo.Ri Fall 2009 show, where she divulged her inspiration for the collection and showed me one of the colors used on the models at the show, Beyond Jealous. 'This one looks good on every skin tone,' Jin told me. 'Lots of people go for very daring edge. That will be more trendy. People didn’t want to get this kind of color before, but now more and more people are into that editorial look.' Jin added, 'The designer chose the green.
Her line is very strong and tough statement, yet very chic. So she wants to show that. And this color is perfect for her line.' When I asked Jin how she came up with the colors for the collection, she told me, 'We checked all the trend forecasts, all the books and everything.
Also my favorites that I was into. So we combined ideas. I had been doing all the editorial work, I know what’s gonna be popular, what’s gonna be out there. Also a lot of fashion shoots. So I get all the ideas from shows.'
Each of the six polishes is a creme - no shimmer at all. The colors include: Cool Reserve (dirty grey lavender) For Fun (rich clean purple) Dance All Night (brick red) Dry Martini (khaki olive green) Rich, Dark, Delicious (rich blackened brown) Beyond Jealous (blackened blue green) The nail polishes in the M.A.C Nail Trend FW 09 by Jin Soon Collection retail for $12 each. They will be available on August 27 at M.A.C counters nationwide.
