Mary Kay Fall 2021 | Shimmer Liquid Eye Shadow |
Mary Kay Fall 2021 | Shimmer Liquid Eye Shadow (C$18 for 3.4 g):Available in two shades, the Shimmer Liquid Eye Shadow comes in a plastic lipgloss tube paired with a doe-foot applicator. The formulation is lightweight and easily blendable, setting to a mostly smudge-proof finish. "Amethyst" is a pale icy lavender and "Graphite" is a medium silvery gray. Both shades are full of iridescent shimmers that provide a beautiful pop of shine on the lids. These liquid shadows can be used on their own but I think they are best dabbed on top of a base shadow for a more sophisticated look.

Mary Kay Fall 2021 | Sparkle Lipstick |
Mary Kay Fall 2021 | Sparkle Lipstick (C$21 for 3.8 g):Housed in a simple black tube which I wish was fancier and flashier to match the Precious Gems theme, the Sparkle Lipsticks are shimmer-packed lipsticks molded with a textured finish. "
Sunstone" is a warm, opalescent nude shimmer. The shade doesn't have much of a base color but it's loaded with iridescent shimmers that shift between pale gold and pink. The formulation is nice and smooth with a sweet vanilla scent. The color has a fun, 90's vibe but I can't see myself pulling it off.

Mary Kay Fall 2021 | Sparkle Lipstick in "Sunstone" & "Ruby" |
"
Ruby" is a plummy berry scattered with iridescent shimmers that shift between pink and lavender. The formulation is slick and hydrating but the semi-sheer coverage is a bit patchy so several swipes are needed to build up and smooth out the color.

Mary Kay Fall 2021 | Nail Polish |
Mary Kay Fall 2021 | Nail Polish (C$18 for 9.2 g):Two gorgeous shimmery nail polish shades are introduced as a part of the Precious Gems Collection. "
Emerald" is a beautiful light teal blue consisting of silver and blue shimmers while "
Rose Quartz" is an icy lavender pink packed with silver and pink shimmers. Both shades are filled to the brim with shimmer particles so the coverage is opaque and smooth. I used two coats for the swatches below.
