I have to commend Mac Cosmetics latest collections and their packaging! The MAC Vibe Tribe Collection, said to be inspired by music festivals features many bright colours and bold patterns. I was very excited for this collection as it featured looks with bold eyes, bronzed skin and bright lips.
The primary and secondary packing on the Vibe Tribe Collection is a tribal pattern, which matches the name of the collection spot on. I have included details of the entire collection at the bottom of the post.
A few of the products I tried out are, Lipstick in Tanarama, Patentpolish Lip Pencil in Teen Dream and Technakohl Liner in Snowed In.
Lipstick in Tanarama, is a pale beige shade with golden shimmer and a frost finish. At first glance it was totally unlike something I would normally wear but it’s swatch was very surprising. Worn alone or paired over top of another lipstick, it adds a touch of champagne sheen to your lips. Apply it to the center of your lips to make your pout appear fuller. The lipsticks in the collection retail for $22.50 CAD.
I tried out the Patentpolish Lip Pencil in Teen Dream, which is a bright pink/coral matte shade. It was my first time using a Patentpolish Lip Pencil by MAC and it reminds me most of a chubby eyeshadow/lip stick. It applies like a lip balm and gives a sheer hint of coral to the lips. Teen Dream isn’t long wearing but is extremely comfortable to wear. I wouldn’t drag this Lip Pencil over the lips as that causes an uneven application. The Patentpolish Lip Pencil retails for $25.50 CAD.

The Technakohl Eye Liner in Snowed In definitely has to be my favourite! It is an off white/peach shade with micro-shimmer and comes in a twistable pen form. It applies so smoothly and with the right amount of pigment.
Snowed In is the perfect shade to apply to your bottom line to brighten the eyes and make them appear larger. I absolutely love pairing it with winged liner as black liner on the bottom water line makes my fairly small eyes appear smaller. A definite must have in my books! The Technakohl Eye Liner retails for $21.50 CAD.
MAC’s Vibe Tribe Collection is gorgeous in my opinion and captures the colours of Summer oh-so well! The Eye shadow quads, makeup bags and tribal printed makeup brushes are absolutely stunning and are definitely next on my list to pick up.
