MAC A Novel Romance is a gorgeous new colour collection for Autumn that’s all about passion and sensuality. The campaign is pretty racy in a kind of theatrical and really dramatised way. It makes me think of a sexy Sinbad the Sailor!

It is a pretty large collection and I have a few pieces here to show you.

Before I show you my swatches, I am going to give you a full run down of the collection.

MAC A Novel Romance Swatches

I am loving the deep dark nail polish shades and I think Sunset Sky will make regular appearances throughout Autumn for sure. If you are looking for a super black eye pencil that won’t budge, then the Fluidline in Black Brilliance is for you. That swatch took some serious removing.

My favourite of the bunch is the Electric Cool Eyeshadow in SuperWatt which is a limited edition part of the MAC A Novel Romance collection. The formula is a beautiful cream to powder that is butter soft and gorgeous to apply. Superwatt is a really wearable and easy to apply with your finger. The MAC Electric Cool Eyeshadows originally launched in 2012 but these are all new shades.

MAC A Novel Romance is available online from 28th August 2014 and goes on counter at all MAC locations from 4th September 2014. Also find MAC at Selfridges.
