Selena Quintanilla was a very beautiful Mexican-American singer whose life was cut short at her early age of 23. This collection was created with the help of Selena's sister Suzette. The entire collection is a 13 piece set which include 3 lipsticks, five eyeshadows, a blush/bronzer duo, a lipgloss, Opulash mascara, and a powder/ blush brush. out of this 13 products I own only 9 which are the eyeshadows, lipsticks, and lip gloss.
Lets start talking about the packaging, Mac has always done a great job with packaging but in this collection in my opinion they missed a little bit of creativity. It is just a matte purple packaging on everything, Selena's signature is inscribed in each products in and outside.
Lets start with the lipsticks.
The first shade is called "Dreaming of You", it is described as a deep wine shade (matte). This is a great shade beacuase since is matte it stays in your lips for a longer time, I had no problem using it by itself straight from the tube without any lip liner but if you like you may use it with MAC's Deep Purple and it would look great.
Next shade would be "Como La Flor", this shade is an amplified formula that is described in the MAC store as a muted cherry red color. In my opinion this shade is one of the most beautiful types of red that goes well with every skin color because it is a blue based red, very buttery.
Lastly we have "Amor Prohibido" I love this one as an everyday morning lipstick, is a muted soft brown color that glides beautifully on the lips. The best lip liner that I found looked great with this shade is the one from Jordana in the shade "Twany".
Bidi Bidi Bom Bom lipgloss, Oh god I am in love with this lipsticks, this is a baby pink with silver micro glitters in it. you may wear this product alone or layer it on top of any lipstick. if you want to layer it I recommend that you just layer a little bit on the center of the lips over the shade Dreaming of You, when you layer these two products together they create the most 3D lip effect that I have ever seen on my life.
Is it the Beat- this is just a matte black shade. this shade was originally inspired because one of Selena's favorite color was black.
No Me Queda Mas- This is a Matte brown, very pigmented, great for layering on the crease.
Missing My Baby- This is a very soft almost flesh color, perfect for placing it as a transition color.
Fotos y Recuerdos- I am in love with this shade because It just a matter baby pink which is great for an everyday color.
Selena- I cant describe this shade because its name and is color says it all.
