MAC Royal Assets 2007

MAC Royal Assets: 6 Warm Eyes

So I realize that this palette is from the holiday season of 2007, but I figured I'd share it with you guys anyways. I'm pretty sure the collection that this is from was called Antiquease, but I'm honestly not sure. Ha ha, I'm sorry, I just know that the name of the palettes were Royal Assets. At the time this palette's cost was $36. And of course, if you go and buy it from somewhere online, the cost will be a lot more because it has been so long since it's been released. In the past 4ish years, the price of their 6 shadow palettes have gone up $2, unfortunately. But it's not much compared to other companies inflating prices in a matter of just one year. What first drew me to this collection, was, of course, the packaging, it's just so pretty! :)
So let's begin. :)
I really like the colors in this palette, i feel that it is sooo wearable and you can mix the colors to get a totally different effect. I was definitely surprised how smoothly these colors apply, it's like they literally glide across your eyelids. :) With this palette, you could do looks for work, school, parties, clubbing, etc. :)

 The names of the colors included are (from left-right, top-bottom) :
-Sunday Best (Frost) a, well, frosty light pink, very pretty
-Nobility (Shimmer) a slightly shimmery, very light brown color, sort of the color of my coffee after I add a ton of creamer, ha ha
-Retrospeck (Lustre) this is a very sheer golden color and is very sparkly, can layer over a look for some extra flare :)
-Star Violet (Veluxe Pearl) a lot like Retrospeck in the texture and look, but definitely more pigmented, really pretty plum color
-Club (Shimmer) a deep brown with a blue tint to it, really pretty, and well, shimmery
-Showstopper (Matte) a dark brown, kind of like a wooden color, but still pretty.

There are three permanant colors of the six in the palette, the permanant ones are: Retrospeck, Star Violet, and Club, so you can run into any MAC Cosmetics store and still purchase these. The brush that is included in a mini size is the 213 Fluff Brush, the full size costs $22.50, but I don't own the full size because, well, I have the mini. But also because I have an equivalent brush from Estee Lauder, which came in a kit, and unfortunately, there's no number or anything to identify which brush it is.

From top-bottom on my hand the colors are: Sunday Best, Nobility, Retrospeck, Star Violet, Club, and Showstopper. I put a box around Sunday Best so it won't be so hard to find it, ha ha.

At the time in which I purchased this palette, I wasn't too into make-up...yet. And a great big YET at that. Ha ha. But this really has recently become more of a go-to palette for my school make-up. :) I feel like Sunday Best and Nobility remind me of something along the lines of ballet-style colors, very pretty and elegant and sophisticated.  Just about any combination would work with this palette and it's really simple to go from a day look, to a night look.
Hope you guys enjoyed this review, and I hope that if you want it, that you are able to find it somewhere.
