<\/p>\nMost of the new MAC collections have not excited me. I’m just not a MAC girl, sorry to say. This explains the lack of posts about MAC on this blog. However, when I saw the Dame Edna collection, I had to laugh. I remember watching Dame Edna on comedy skits on British tv on cold winter nights and he\/she was hilarious!<\/p>\n
I love that MAC put the trademark Dame Edna spectacles on the case of the Dame Edna collection – It is just fitting. Since I’m not a MAC girl, I can’t bring myself to buy anything from there. However, having seen pictures of the collection, the Wisteria eyeshadow trio seems to call my name. Over the weekend, while I was passing a MAC store, my eye was drawn to the bright red words “DAME EDNA” over the store front, and I knew I had to walk in to take a look.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To my surprise, I actually had a good shopping experience at MAC Cosmetics! I enjoyed chatting to the makeup artist\/sales person at MAC Pavilion Kuala Lumpur and I enjoyed playing with the Dame Edna collection and talking about the upcoming MAC collections with him. He was friendly and helpful and showed me various items without once being rude or dismissive – it made me rethink my earlier impression of MAC – seriously. If you are thinking of buying MAC, I recommend Stephan from MAC Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. Tell him the lady who was discussing Hello Kitty with him sent you \ud83d\ude09 That is, if he remembers LOL…<\/p>\n
Anyway, after seeing the Dame Edna collection and the Wisteria eyeshadow trio (RM125) in person, I knew there was no chance of me buying it. I have owned MAC Lustre eyeshadows before and after playing with the trio, I was reminded that MAC eyeshadows are just not my style. So, I thought to myself, “Hey, why not dupe it since you won’t be buying it anyway?” And you know what? I agreed with myself in a split personality sort of way, and went off to trawl through my stash.

\nThese are the 3 colours in the Dame Edna Wisteria palette<\/p>\n
Fineshine<\/strong> – Frosty true-silver (Lustre) From my stash I found this likely combination of colours:-<\/p>\n T’estimo SV21 <\/strong>– Shimmery\/glittery silver Another possible dupe came in the form of:-<\/p>\n
\n Wisteria<\/strong> \u2013 Frosty robin\u2019s egg blue (Velvet)
\nDivine Night <\/strong>\u2013 Frosty charcoal with silver pearlized pigments (Velvet)<\/p>\n
\n T’estimo BU55 <\/strong>– Shimmery Light blue
\n T’estimo GY36 <\/strong>– very dark grey with silvery shimmer<\/p>\n![\"MAC](\"http:\/\/i253.photobucket.com\/albums\/hh67\/parisbeaverbanks\/beauty\/edna3.jpg\")
