Most of us know the popstar Ellie Goulding, a blonde bombshell who did the soundtrack for the raunchy 50 Shades of Grey so no wonder MAC wanted to do a collaboration with this talented little beauty!
Ellie Goulding came onto the music scene as a natural beauty queen, but as the time has gone on her makeup has become more dramatic with smokey eyes and subtle pink cheeks and her MAC collection definitely defined her style.
The packaging for the products are sleek and have a high end appeal. Each package has a glossy black exterior with a rose gold interior featuring a rose gold triangle with Ellie Gouldings initials. Rose gold is just so pretty that it instantly appeals to many, especially with a glossy black background. The only I would say is that I wish the actual products featured the rose gold inside. A lovely addition to the products is the triangle and initials embossed on the lipsticks and blushers.
The lipstick I have is the Only You in Cremesheen, a creamy moisturising MAC formula. This lipstick is very creamy and glides onto the lips, it is my lips but with a peach tint so is a lovely lipstick for everyday especially for the hot summer days. You do need to reapply this regularly throughout the day so if you are after a long lasting lipstick this would not be for you.
The next product I have is the powder blush featuring a peach blusher and light brown bronzer. The bronzer is the largest part of this powder blush with an embossment of the triangle symbol, it is a light brown with tiny glitter particles. The peach blusher is a pretty summery peach colour that will be stunning with a tan! I have used these individually, the bronzer isn't dark enough for me but is nice for a flush of colour. I also have swirled these colours together which created a very pretty peachy bronze colour to the cheeks, the subtle shimmer in the bronzer worked so well with the peach shade so this is a winner combo! Get swirling!
Have you tried any of these products or any other within the collection?

Hello Loveys,
This is my first MAC blusher in years, I first bought Dolly Mix when it came out in the Limited Edition collection many moons ago, it had fun white and Japanese inspired graffiti, if I am right as can't quite remember the exact description, I fell in love instantly but left getting a new one till I had gone to another MAC store which I hadn't and time flew past without me thinking twice about purchasing a blusher again, but its time!
Hang Up is a cremesheen finish, a super creamy formula that glides on and gives a glossy finish. This lipstick appears as a deep brown but when applied it shows as a deep red berry with a gorgeous sheen. This lipstick isn't as purple as Rebel and isn't matte like Rocker so I was really pleased this, it is easy to wear and for those wanting a shade that isn't too "in your face" this is the shade for you. You do need to reapply this lipstick throughout the day, but I only had to do this after a couple of cups of tea, so that's pretty good in my eyes. The lipstick would look great with a cat eye liner and smokey eyes.
