Edited June 10, 2014: If you are still interested in picking something up from this collection, you can still find some items online at MAC Cosmetics.

What MAC has to say:
Disney's most iconic villain, brought to life in this summer's epic new film, inspires a limited-edition colour collection in specially designed packaging to delight the most demanding of dark sorceresses. Intensely admired for her evil elegance, despite her efforts to instill fear in the hearts of generations, this icon casts a spell of absolute adoration with sensuous shades so wickedly gorgeous, who needs beauty sleep?

Now onto the haul and swatches....

 
I decided to pick up the Beauty Powder in Natural ($30) and the Sculpting Powder in Sculpt ($23) as well as the 109 Small Contour Brush ($35).
 
 

Beauty Powder ($30)
Features: Natural*
Brush on the striking beauty of Maleficent with a special compact featuring shades delicately tinted in a soft, peach pink. Apply as a highlight, soft blush or overall finish. Specially designed M∙A∙C Maleficent packaging. Pro discount is not applicable.
 
This is my very first beauty powder. Beauty powder can be used for many things, however I plan to use this as an allover finish (similar to the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders) or as a shaping powder (to set under eye concealer and brighten up that area).

 
 
Sculpting Powder ($23)
Features: Sculpt**
Sculpting Powder in matte taupe contours with commanding precision. Enhances natural bone structure. Immaculately shaded to create natural-looking shadow effects, the finish is sheer and matte. Specially designed M∙A∙C Maleficent packaging. Pro discount is not applicable.
 
This product is permanent at pro locations, online, or by phone in a pro pan form. The color Sculpt seems like a great color for someone that has fair to medium skintone. Sculpting powders are used to sculpt or contour the face.
 
 
109 Small Contour Brush ($35)
Use on the face to apply, blend or contour powder products. Softly rounded dome tip delivers just enough colour; smoothly blends colour into the face. Of natural fibres.
 
I plan to use this brush with the Sculpting Powder in Sculpt to contour my face. I have had my eye on this brush for awhile and I am thrilled to give it a try!

I would love to know what anyone else picked up (or is planning to pick up) from this collection and if you are as excited to see the new Maleficent movie as I am.
 
 
 
 
Please enjoy this amazing Lana Del Rey version of Once Upon A Dream!
 

 
 
XOXO
