The MAC Glitter & Ice collection hits stores on October 27th and includes 6 new and limited edition Technakohl eye liners. I purchased four of them.

Here’s what the MAC website says about these:
With this winning streak of high-style colour, glamour leaps ahead! Six dramatic go-for-gold shades including new ultra-cool silver. Line or blend. Glitter & Ice’s dashing white and silver packaging makes this an absolute prize! Limited edition.

I had such high hopes for these, but they were a huge disappointment. It’s strange because the Technakohls I’ve tried from MAC’s permanent line are smooth and creamy but these are dry in texture. The dryness makes it difficult to line your eyes because these liners tend to pull against the skin rather than glide smoothly. Another issue was lack of pigmentation. I had to work at getting these to deposit opaque colour, and you can see in the swatches that it still came out patchy.

I suppose the one positive thing I have to say about these is that once I did get my eyes lined with them, they did last all day. Having said that, I would still say to skip these because the effort it takes to make them work isn’t worth it in my opinion. These retail for $19CDN.

Have you bought anything recently that you were disappointed with?
