MAC Cosmetics Aladdin Swatches and Review

Nothing to Disclose


Ahhh, salaam and good evening to you worthy friend. Please, please, come closer! Welcome to The Daily Nail, blog of mystery...of enchantment...of the finest merchandise this side of the river Jordan, on blog today, come on down!

Ok, maybe that was a bit much...but I am a HUGE, HUGE Aladdin fan. I've easily seen the movie over a hundred times, and pretty much know it word for word. (Super annoying for those that watch it with me, I'm sorry!) When I heard that MAC Cosmetics (the brand that got me hooked on makeup so many years ago) was coming out with a collection to coincide with the new live-action Aladdin movie, I cannot tell you stoked I was!! I instantly knew that a large portion of it would be mine, even if just for my Aladdin collection. (Yes, I said Aladdin collection...) Keep reading for some photos and my thoughts!

Urban Decay x Game of Thrones Collection Swatches

What do Dragons even eat?

Whatever they want. 

OH MAN. I am LOVING sassy Daenarys this season! She is killing me with these comebacks, and hopefully she'll soon be killing the Night King with a blade of Dragon Glass. (or at least someone from her armies will!)

I'll admit, I am a relative newcomer to Game of Thrones, but it doesn't make me any less obsessed with it! I binged the first 7 seasons a little over a year ago, and once I got past the first few episodes, I was 100% hooked! Best part of the entire series so far? Sansa growing a pair and feeding Ramsey to his dogs. That was 10000000% more satisfying than Joffrey's death and Cersei's walk of shame combined.

When I heard that one of my favorite makeup brands was collaborating with HBO to create a GoT collection, my heart started beating so fast, and OMG can I tell you the anxiety I had over the possibility of missing out on it! I decided to just go for it, and get the entire GoT vault, which contains a 20-shade eyeshadow palette, a 3-shade highlighter palette, 4 pencil eyeliners, 4 lipsticks, a cheek & lip stain, and last but not least, 2 brushes inspired by the swords of Jon Snow & Arya Stark. Read on for my swatches and thoughts!

#CincodeColor Event at COLOR Salon by Michael Boychuck

Press Event


It's the 5th of May, what's a girl to do? Does she find the nearest taco truck (I'm game!), does she find the closest sombrero (NOPE!), or does she hang out at one of the 100 best salons in the country (as voted by Elle magazine) and indulge in festive margaritas with multi-colored sugary rims and glittery lips to match?! I think you know where this is going. Mmmm, tequila.
