Lookbook: MAC Bloggers’ Obsession Collection Eyeshadows, “Hocus Pocus,” “Jealousy Wakes,” Photographs & Swatches





MAC Cosmetics Bloggers’ Obsession Collection is a limited edition collection inspired and created by beauty bloggers. Nine beauty bloggers were invited by MAC to their labs to create either an eyeshadow or a lipglass for MAC Cosmetics. I decided to purchase two out of the four eyeshadows because they were the ones that looked prettiest via swatches, and also ones I will most likely wear the most. To see photographs and swatches of Hocus Pocus and Jealousy Wakes,













Hocus Pocus is a dark gunmetal grey with silver pearl/sheen to it. This one really delivers when it’s in the light. In natural lighting, it almost looks like just another average grey shade, but when you add in the camera flash, sunlight, or bright bulbs, it really shines and looks very pretty. I like shades like this because they allow me to create a smokey eye and I use them to set my eyeliner. Overall this is a very pretty grey shade to own.





I didn’t have any problems with the application or formula of Hocus Pocus. It went on smoothly, and it was very pigmented from the get go. I love the pearlized almost-metallic looking shine to it…it’s grungy glam.













Jealousy Wakes is an emerald green with teal and gold pearl. I actually learned about this shade from Temptalia, who is the creator of this particular shade. She went into detail about how she came to the final, finished product of this shade after creating several different greens. I really love green eyeshadow and green nail polish, so I knew I had to pick this one up. It has a really beautiful, unique sheen to it that really brings out the true emerald pigments in this green. I love this one, and it was also the first one to sell out!







Again, another highly pigmented shade that applies super smooth. I adore how truly emerald green this shade is. I feel like a lot of green eyeshadows either lean toward the blue side, or toward the yellow side. This one is a true “Wizard of Oz” emerald green with a sheen to it.





MAC Bloggers Obsession Collection is limited edition, and available at MAC Online. Each eyeshadow retails for $14.50 each, and there are four shades to choose from. Jealousy Wakes and Hocus Pocus are currently both sold out at this moment, but I would keep your eyes and ears open because MAC may bring more stock to the website!
