MAC x Ellie Goulding Halcyon Days Eyeshadow Quad

Not going to lie, I was super excited when I heard back in summer that MAC Cosmetics were doing a collaboration with Ellie Goulding.  Not only do I love her music, I also love her make up looks which to me always seem natural while giving off a powerful, blonde bombshell vibe!  

Of course when December (eventually!) came around with the collection launch, I had to get my hands on some of the products, I have the Only You lipstick, 129 powder/blush brush and the gorgeous Halcyon Days eyeshadow quad.  

The eyeshadow quad is so beautiful, first of all the packing of this product is lovely, it's a solid, glossy black square with rose gold detailing on Ellie's logo.  Subtly beautiful packaging!  

The Halcyon Days quad is filled with 4 cream colour bases - definitely a change from MAC's primarily powder based quads - this quad includes gorgeous peachy pinks, brown and neutrals in cool tones which are just beautiful.  The 4 colours are: 

• Root
• Tint
• Every Time You Go
• Wished I Stayed

Another nice touch to this quad is underneath the cream shadows, a medium/dark blot powder.  This is useful for me before applying the cream shadow base by helping to prevent slipping across the lid as much; of course a blot powder comes in handy for any shine across the face too.  This quad also has a handy mirror so it's the perfect compact for your handbag or when you're on the go.  

The full MAC x Ellie Goulding collection looks beautiful, my sister also has the Halcyon Nights powder eyeshadow quad and Without Your Love lipstick, a lovely, warm pink shade - we are obsessed with this collection!  

Did you get your hands on any of the MAC x Ellie Goulding collection?  What was your favourite product?
