Hello!
MAC has been one of my favorite brands since I first became interested in makeup. I was super excited for the Fruity Juicy collection as I absolutely love the summery feel of it. I picked up 2 items from the collection; the Fruit A La La eyeshadow palette and one of the lipsticks, Calm Heat.
The lipstick is supposed to be matte, although to me it does have more of a satin finish, which I don’t mind at all. I love MAC lipsticks because all of the ones that I have tried have a very moisturizing feel to them which makes them a lot more comfortable. Calm Heat is no exception.

Here is a closeup swatch of the lipstick on my lips.

This shade is a nice pinky nude shade. Although MAC does have several pinky nude shades, it is always fun to have the special packaging from the collections.
This lipstick retails for $17 at maccosmetics.com

The other product that I got from the Fruity Juicy collection is an eyeshadow palette. There were 3 eyeshadow palettes released in the collection; a blue/green palette (Love in the Glades), a more yellow/orange palette (Oh My Banana), and a pink/orange palette (Fruit A La La). Although I would have loved to buy all three, I only ended up with one.

All of the shades are extremely pigmented and beautiful but the shade that stands out the most to me is !Arriba! the coppery shimmery shade. I don’t have any other colors quite like this one in my collection and I absolutely love it!
Overall I was very happy with my purchases from the collection. I think that there are definitely good dupes for the lipstick, but the eyeshadow palette was unique and very nice and blendable.
