The name
'Maleficent' brings to mind several things: Disney, Sleeping Beauty, villain,
and sculpted cheekbones. Seriously,
the Maleficent character has cheekbones for days. I am a huge fan of Disney,
MAC, and accentuating cheekbones. So naturally, when MAC released their new limited edition MAC x Disney Maleficent
collection, I had to get the Sculpting
Powder in 'Sculpt' and Beauty Powder in this
collection. The Sculpting Powder in 'Sculpt' is a re-promote, the Beauty Powder in 'Natural' is limited edition.
When I
first received my powders, I was really excited about the packaging. Being a
huge Disney fan and looking forward to the movie, I'm in love with the title
and wings on the packaging. My second thought after taking a look at the
powders was "Why have I never owned
this beautiful MAC Sculpting Powder in my life before?!" This beautiful,
matte grayish brown color is something I definitely needed in my life. It is a
pigmented and unique sculpting powder compared to all the bronzers I use to
contour with. It surprisingly creates a natural contour that can be built up.
The Beauty Powder is a pale pinky peach color with a very fine shimmer. I was hoping to use this as a highlighting powder, but it is more of an overall face powder for me. It's a bit powdery and kicks up a little bit of product, but leaves a nice sheen and is slightly glowy. This seems to go with the look of Maleficent's pale face.
The Sculpting Powder is $23 for .21 oz. and the Beauty Powder is $30 for .35 oz. The Sculpting Powder is normally only available in a pan to put in a Pro Palette and is $16.50 for .21 oz. The MAC Disney Maleficent Collection is available exclusively at Macy's, maccosmetics.com, and some MAC stores. The Beauty Powder is still available at MAC and Macy's. The Sculpting Powder is no longer available online but may still be available in stores.
