“Warp drive on my mark, ensign. 3-2-1, mark! ETA to the MAC extra dimension Eye shadows in Opalesse, Smoky Mauve and Triple Impact, t-minus 10 seconds…”
My favorite thing about this time of year? You mean, other than the stunning flowers all over (allergies, be damned!) and the reemergence of my favorite pair of flip-flops and the liberation of my toes?
The sunnier days also seem like a good excuse to wear shimmery, glimmering eye shadows.

Whenever I’m wearing something luminescent on my lids — possibly something like the new MAC’s extra dimension Eye shadows ($21 per 0.07-ounce pan) — as Tabs and I soak up the sun on our afternoon walks, I feel an extra bounce in my step.
The six new shades, each in MAC’s hybrid liquid-powder formula, beam down to the planet’s surface (and MAC counters and stores) April 11 with the rest of the In extra dimension collection. The shadows range from sheer, opalescent shades too full-on frosts.
Of course, if you don’t want to wait those two much more days, they are available now online…

I’ve been working with three of them for a few days — Opalesse, Triple impact and Smokey Mauve — and we’ve gotten pretty close. I haven’t had any issues with fallout, and as long as I layer them on top of a primer, they last me from 8-10 hours, with barely a hint of creasing or fading (they crease and fade much more noticeably when I wear them without primer)
MAC extra dimension Eye shadow in Opalesse, an opalescent white with white pearl
MAC extra dimension Eye shadow in Opalesse: This sheer opalescent shadow reminds me of a MAC Vex stripped of its greenish blue flash. A very pretty pinkish peach opal. absolutely beautiful buffed onto lids with a 217. It just glows!

MAC extra dimension Eye shadow in Triple Impact, a opalescent lavender with violet pearl
MAC extra dimension Eye shadow in Triple Impact: another opalescent shadow, except that this one’s lavender with violet pearl. On its own, it illuminates lids like a regular Thomas Edison, but I think its real strength is smokey eyes. I pat a little in the inner half or all over my lids atop a black creamy base, and the iridescent, shimmery purple adds a twinkle of sparkle that’s less intense than a trip on the glitter train.

MAC extra dimension Eye shadow in Smoky Mauve, a amazing mid-toned mauve
MAC extra dimension Eye shadow in Smoky Mauve: shiny like a supernova version of MAC Satin Taupe on my NC42 skin, I think it’s a little too frosty for me, but you might like it if you tend toward shadows with a mirror-like shine. makeup and charm blog RATING: B

Hello and pleased Tuesday, fellow extra dimensional traveler. It’s another sunny day here by the Bay…one of those days I would love to play hooky.
Come on, we could go hiking together! What do ya say?
Toivon. No, I have to drive into the city for a work lunch, and as usual, I’m stressing over what to wear.
When I transitioned into full-time pet assisting, my wardrobe took on a terrific numerous pairs of yoga pants and hoodies, all of which are currently covered in fur.

Speaking of fur and furious creatures, I’d better take Tabs for his walk this morning before he throws a fit. You have a terrific day, okay?
